Unnecessary question, Rene.

I don't know if I believe Alena, but I am glad to see her again.

I like this kind of rooting for Olicity from Curtis more than what we got in 522.

One of the best parts about that clip is how happy Oliver and Felicity both are. I love seeing them smiling.

I was thinking the 609 reception is the apology for the alien delusion.

Maybe this is the apology for most of season 5?

Yeah, and I didn't think that was possible. WOW.

From the IGN interview linked above: You know, call me crazy, but here's a thought: Why not have them interact with other characters? It's not like there aren't plenty to choose from. Instead of having Dinah hanging around while Felicity and Diggle exchange a couple of words, let Felicity and Diggle have an entire conversation and let Felicity know about Diggle's nerve damage. Have Dinah interact with Curtis and Rene because they had a good dynamic going on with the three of them at the end of S5. Let's see Felicity and Dinah bond. Have Lance and Diggle talk because that's as rare as a Felicity/Diggle, Felicity/Thea, Thea/Diggle or Felicity/Lance conversation.

I feel like I should just expect at least one Diggle/Dinah scene - but more likely two or three Diggle/Dinah scenes - per episode from now on. Except maybe in the crossover. (Though I could easily see them fitting one in.) Ugh.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes watching that second sneak peek. And it doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with BS or what I think of the character or the acting. It's just such a stupid scene and so predictable (here or in any procedural drama in which I'm sure I've seen something similar multiple times) and about a minute longer than we needed to see this guy before he ends up dead.

I almost don't know how to feel about how much I'm liking the promotion of the show right now? I'm not going to complain though. And Oliver on comms! Oh, this is going to be good.

Well, the BS scenes are action, so it makes sense. Plus, they're still being all, "Who could Michael Emerson be playing? It's a mystery! Never mind that we're talking about introducing Cayden James in ME's first episode and everything we're saying about ME's mystery character is basically Cayden James." I really hope that we don't get an interview after with MG or WM going, "Wasn't it a nice surprise when we revealed ME is Cayden James?" because no, it won't be a surprise at all.

Maybe. Probably. I feel like even if Alena is being truthful, Cayden James may be using her as part of a trap he's set.

Arrow's David Ramsey: Diggle's Secret Will Have 'Ripple Effects' for All — Plus, Scoop on [Spoiler's] Introduction http://tvline.com/2017/11/01/arrow-season-6-david-ramsey-preview-diggle-ricardo-diaz-cayden-james/

I'm taking David Ramsey's comments in this interview as pretty close to official confirmation that ME is Cayden James: http://tvline.com/2017/11/01/arrow-season-6-david-ramsey-preview-diggle-ricardo-diaz-cayden-james/ Also, I gotta love that the question is "What's going on with Black Siren" and DR's answer is "Cayden James! Felicity! Oliver and Felicity!" Because really, who wouldn't be excited about ME and want to just talk about him? (Also, please don't disappoint me, Arrow, with how you use Michael Emerson. I'm expecting big things.)

That's ... yeah. I expected better. (But maybe I shouldn't have?) Exactly. I'm already expecting them to blame Olicity for 607's ratings and ignore the fact that it's going to be Thanksgiving and really, Arrow should be happy with whatever they get that night.

LOL at "Oliver and KC's face." Because it's true. If BS was killed off or shipped to another Earth and another Earth's LL was brought in, suddenly she'd be the best thing ever and endgame. I took a glance at Reddit earlier. Scary place. I'm already imagining how they're going to "interpret" this week's ratings.

I feel like this is one of those things we're putting more thought into than the writers. For them, it'll probably be "some sort of wedding = married. Done." Maybe we'll get a comment from MG about how no one deals with marriage licenses with TV weddings (though usually most are planned so obviously it would be something done, whereas O/F's looks to be a spontaneous, "let's get married now!").

My guess is a marriage license will be taken care of off-screen. We may not even hear about it on the show. Maybe MG will answer a Q about it on Tumblr or Twitter. But Oliver and Felicity will be legally married, if not by the time 609 begins, by the reception.

Why would they need Diggle there then? Especially there for what looks like just Barry and Iris' wedding at first and seems to then turn into Oliver and Felicity's as well? Just so they can say, "hey, look, OTA moment"? That wouldn't give us an in-story explanation. I'm just going to go with (until the show proves me wrong) Diggle having a nightmare after his and Lyla's wedding in S3 that something went wrong at O/F's wedding and Ray married them, so as soon as he woke up, he went online and got ordained. And either he mentions that at some point during the crossover or Oliver or Felicity bring up that Diggle can marry people. Hence Barry going to get him.

Yeah, but I feel like someone should have noticed because they cold have used his help during the episode. I'll admit that I've forgotten about Wally sometimes, but in this episode, I did keep wondering where he was. Maybe because I felt bad for him and that breakup at the beginning.

They'd put all the drama on Diggle/Dinah if that actually happened*. Just like Dyla was the stable couple once they got back together, Olicity will be now that they're back together and the drama can fall to Diggle/Dinah. *That's not to say that I think Diggle/Dinah will happen. I do think they haven't ruled it out. I don't think that falls into a "never happening" like Thea dying and Felicity in a mask, as MG has said in interviews.

Still, they could have done a better job of temporarily writing him out instead of having him go to another Earth without anyone realizing it first.

Technically might be the key word. Logically, it makes sense for Oliver and Felicity's team to get the bunker. But we know that logic doesn't always apply when it comes to this show. For all we know, they'll have Curtis lock Felicity out if they're on different sides and Felicity won't be able to get in because that's how they want to write it. I won't buy it at all if they do that, but I wouldn't be surprised, just very, very annoyed.

I really hope this isn't the case. But I could see it happening, especially since they seem to love the Diggle/Dinah dynamic. Whatever does happen, I do expect Diggle and Dinah to be on the same side, and I could see it being because one of them has the other's back in whatever's going on, even if they don't totally see eye-to-eye on the conflict topic. (I also expect Oliver and Felicity to be on the same side because I really think they're going to try to keep conflict out of their relationship as much as possible now that they're back together.) Rene and Curtis are the wild cards. Kind of hoping Felicity and Curtis aren't on the same side just because I'm over Curtis.
