You guys, who can explain this to me? https://twitter.com/i/web/status/920471090744274944 ? Like, why would she keep that photo?

Seems like time for a Con Air rewatch.

? It's funny even if I still do enjoy their interactions a lot of the time because the actor chemistry is really good.

That would be cool.

Putting my money on Green Lantern.

Oliver mentioned that William would be better off with them, so I assume they'll show up when the show wants a) more drama with William, or b) to ship him off.

You're watching Last Week Tonight with John Oliver talking about the Equifax breach and one of your first thoughts is, oof, if Arrow was still in the business of taking down shady businesspeople, this could inspire a very good villain for the team/Felicity.

Only two people from each show get to attend the funeral? Sucks for the other Legends at least. And likely for Caitlin and Cisco. Was Stein to one to marry Caitlin and Roonie? Oliver looks way too comfortable hugging people, but it's way cute that he's fist bumpong Alex. Kara in sneakers is super cute. And finally, these two goobers. ?

What's with the yellow eyes? Is that new? Man, I would have missed the pics in the linked article without your comment. Probably would have been better off. ?

I think they should have kept Curtis and backburned Mister Terrific, kept hinting to that at Curtis' possible fate, but then goiing naaah, psych. But maybe. Thea becoming Speedy I don't mind that much because at least she had kinda, sorta something to do in season 4, but then they completely wasted that and Chekov's gun they cocked in 401, i.e. Thea being immune to DD and having some sort of power over him. Beyond the fact that it would have been very cool if Thea ended up being instrumental to taking him down, they had Constantine there to fix Sara after LP. Instead of giving Oliver the magic tattoo, they could have had him clocking on to Thea demonstrating some side effects. Furthermore, this would have played great into the season's message that Oliver was learning to let others make their own choices. Season 4 was a while back, but I think this was before Willa's reduced screentime, so it could have been done. So if there is something that I'm bitter about, it's that the show often fails to think outside the box.

Yael Groblas is so much fun to watch. And I'm reminded of how much I like Chyler Leigh. It makes me really look forward to seeing her on the crossover.

Felicity and Dig are/have been both tasked with selling the newbies to the audience. Dig had Wild Dog last year before they passed him over to Lance, now he's got Dinah. And this set up is actually very similar to Felicity and Rory last year. Only Rory came off as supportive and thus endearing to the viewers who like Felicity (plus was being played by a better actor IMO), whereas Dinah is coming off as confrontational and flirty, and therefore annoying to Dig/Dyla fans. The bones are exactly the same though. Dig (Felicity) is struggling and hiding a secret from the team, which his oldest and closest friends don't see or approach because of STORY, but Dinah (Rory) catches the warning signs. Felicity in turn will obviously get custody of Curtis back.

I watched the recap rap again and it takes a lot of restraint not to simply transcribe the whole thing because it's a masterpiece throughout, right down to the obsession with that Canadian prince named Steve with eyes blue like the waters where the dolphins cry, that fill up my soul, that pierce through my TV. Whispering 'lucky girl' as Felicity and Oliver are kissing in Ivy Town nearly had me choking with laughter. But some highlights, the intro the Canaries Queen habit of chosing very bad, no good sex partners Felicity Slade, completely missed that Deadpool mixed with Debbie Downer part the first time around

Our Version of Events has been updated. Oliver is almost ridiculously cute in this chapter. ETA: Oh, and Macha added another chapter to that post-island fic I linked to over the weekend. I wonder what period the remaining four chapters will cover. Going by the first two (first day, and first week), I imagine chapter three will be first month. https://archiveofourown.org/works/12375105/chapters/28150794

That promises to be a very confusing fight in SC's darkened alleys and warehouses if WD and the Vigilante cross paths again.

It's a little Ant-Man adjacent, isn't it? Improvement on the Mike Myers from last year to be sure, though.

Yup. It's like, pretty underwear, when are you going to put on the dress that goes over it?

Short, but very satisfying post-island ficlet. http://machawicket.tumblr.com/post/166403884577/i-guess-this-is-some-sort-of-post-ep-fic-for-6x01 If you guys have come across others of the sort, I'd appreciate links.

I think the show should use it for Previously on.

Oh my God. That right there is my favorite Arrow fanvid ever. It's got so, so many great parts, I can't even begin to count them all. Probably will try in the morning though. :)

I don't think they're repurposing that set. The surrounding area got too loud and they needed to move or rebuild that set elsewhere.

I'm absolutely counting on Felicity starting her company ever since seeing that Big Belly "commercial". I don't know if it would be a secret though. I also didn't get the impression she was keeping one in the premiere.

Good thought. There's the date in 604, the Thanksgiving outing in 607, and the wedding in the crossover. A pitstop with William before the last two makes sense. Also, why is everyone still calling him William? Come on, Raisa, bit the bullet and call him Will. I'll buy you a Big Belly for your trouble.

I'm leaning towards occasional slip ups, which is why they are tentative around each other. Linger too long and we know we'll end up on the mats/my chair/your workbench/the cot/... again. If it pans out otherwise, I'll be 100% fine with that as well.
