I kinda just want to be prepared for too much Dinah or Rene or the team in general over Felicity. I mean, I already am, going by the stills and promo, even though I know that can mean nothing, but still. Hoping whoever watches the screener gives us enough teases to know one way or the other.

My guess is the topic was the shows that have been on-air the longest, and since the line is always that SPN will continue on as long as Jared and Jensen want to do it, etc., outlets then looked to Arrow?

Hmm. If Rene does die in the FFs in 713, maybe he leaves some sort of message about that shady guy that leads everyone to answers/Felicity/etc. in 716? Was RG spotted on set for 716? However, if Curtis does die in 713, and say, Stanley is the one to kill him, I'm going to laugh so hard. Because KA was bragging about killing a "favorite" character, only for it to happen in a virtual reality situation (because he can't have meant a later episode, right?), and then to have Stanley actually kill that character? Oh, please let that happen.

Yeah, but that character would still be alive in the present.

I mean, we can probably assume that anyone alive in the FFs is going to come back.

Oh wow, I missed that part about how Arrow is apparently Laurel's show. That's just ... wow. I honestly don't even know what to say to that except, no, the show is not titled Arrow & Canary (or Canaries, I guess?) or Black Canary/Canaries or Earth-Insert # Laurel Lance.

What did I just read? No, really. What did I just read? That's just painful and so, so obviously biased.

Now I'm going to be so disappointed when this doesn't happen.

I think what Arrow needs to stop doing is having other people intervene and stop Laurel from killing/hurting people. Dinah did it with the judge, and now Felicity in this episode. Stop telling us that Laurel has changed without showing she has on her own, without others basically making the choice for her by stopping her from doing something. What they should have done instead in this episode is have Felicity show up after Laurel decides she's not going to hurt the guy she thinks she already killed for killing her father. Have Laurel take a step back, maybe even threaten to use her job to get him put in prison for life or something, and then reveal Felicity is there. Maybe even have Felicity be there long enough to see this to later go, "See, you stopped yourself, etc."

The thing is, I’m pretty sure they could have had Oliver offer to leave the SCPD if even a single digit percentage of SC wanted him to. Or figured out a different reason for him to decide to part ways with the SCPD.

Did the promo for 7x12 feel more like it should be the one for 7x13 to anyone else, or is it just me?

Bored again. Wish they hadn't had Felicity there for Laurel when she should've been there for Oliver and we were stuck with Oliver/Dinah scenes. Don't even get me started on the ARGUS/Curtis/Diggle stuff. They teased what I want -- Curtis gone, in some way, I'll take just leaving SC for good, but whatever -- and took it away. Yes, it's sad what happened to E2-LL's father, but they need to not forget all the people she killed. Felicity even brought them up! Oh, and I'll be shocked if Felicity doesn't create the Archer Program. (Also, she better do it all on her own. No help from anyone else.)

This is so boring. Not as bad as last week's episode, but still.

I'm over Oliver/Dinah and Felicity/Laurel scenes. Though I suspect we'll get at least one more of each before the end of the episode.

Oliver needs to stop offering to do things for people who refuse to help him and his family.

Why would Curtis tell the villains he's turning off the bombs in their heads keeping them in line?

Clearly someone hates the Oliver working for the SCPD storyline as much as we do.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Curtis about them losing their minds about Diaz, but of course I hate him again in the next moment when he makes it all about what Diaz did to him.

Clearly they're going to show off the one hospital room. "Here's the one hospital room we've all been in or will be in at some point. Oh, and our friends in Central City also end up in this room, even though they're in another city."

I don't know why, but reading that Diggle is "quite well" in the future made me think we'll see him in the Glades.

I haven’t been worried about Oliver and Felicity being together because of the way Roy and William spoke about them both “abandoning” William. Yeah, it’s possible that they break up and before this supposed “abandonment,” parent him like any other divorced couple, but for some reason I didn’t get that feeling? Maybe it’s also because I feel like this “abandonment” happened recently-ish to the FFs timeline? I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t think there’s enough time left on the show for even a temporary split for Olicity or for Oliver and Felicity to break up and Oliver to get with anyone else. Maybe it’s just me, but Oliver and Felicity’s relationship is one of the few parts of the show I’m not worried about right now, in the present or future.

Same to all of this. I wonder if William has a boyfriend back at boarding school? Because I really liked all the family scenes in S6 and depending on how long they want to continue selling the whole "Olicity abandoned William" story in the FFs, I expect him to return to boarding school at some point.

Very true. Do we know if he's going to be upset it exists or that he wasn't told immediately about it since he hates being left out? I have, admittedly, only skimmed over most of the quotes about the Ghost Initiative because I'm just not interested. Because I can totally see him being annoyed that he wasn't told but also more than happy to keep it a secret from Oliver and Felicity since we don't know when Oliver finds out.
