"Let me go see my wife."

Oh, joy, CSI: Green Arrow/Star City/whatever.

I'm sorry, I'm bored, I already watched season 1.

I want this to be Olicity, but I feel like it's Adult Zoe to Dinah, about Rene.

What I hate the most about the Diggle/Diaz storyline is that Oliver and Felicity right now think Diaz is locked up at Slabside. Sure, he may be under watch and locked up at ARGUS, but come on, that's obviously going to go south. Diggle should have told Oliver and Felicity as soon as Diaz was transferred. I'd still be mad about him working with Diaz, but at least he'd warn his friends that the man who has been trying to kill them and almost succeeded is close? I guess? I don't really know where ARGUS is in relation to everything else. Also, I think I'm also annoyed because of the mention of Curtis being upset about the Ghost Initiative in 711's description. If it at all feels like -- I'm not seeing this will be the case -- they only want one person to be mad about it and it's Curtis, oh, I'm going to be even more pissed every time he's on screen than I already am.

Same. I'm honestly prepared to see Felicity apologize to Diggle and that to be the "resolution."

The thing is, there should be friction between Oliver and Diggle about Diaz and this Suicide Squad. But I feel like because they had that stupid fight over being GA last season, they don't want to have them at odds again. But gee, it's nice to hear that Oliver and Diggle have each other's backs while Diggle didn't have Felicity's in 7A and I highly doubt I'm going to like how they resolve the Felicity/Diggle problems. (Please surprise me there, Arrow.)

Well, this rules out that Maya is Roy and Thea's kid: https://tvline.com/2019/01/21/arrow-season-7-winter-preview-oliver-scpd-felicity-smoak-tech-robert-queen/ I will continue to think that she's Olicity's daughter until they tell me otherwise definitively.

Each sneak peek we’re getting for 710 is worse than the previous one.

That makes more sense. Beth’s quote didn’t suggest at all that she would lead it, so I was wondering where TVLine got that idea. I was thinking the same thing. All I know is if Laurel does end up going the evil route again, even just temporarily, she better not be working for a male villain again. Let her be the boss.

Huh. I think I’ve blocked out more of the FFs than I thought I did. I’ll just blame how bleak they are (and Dinah) just because.

Every time I remember this part, I get so annoyed. Even if Felicity did change and become evil, why is everyone acting like she was never their friend (because the show wants us to think they are all friends, even though they're really not in the present) before that? She supposedly changed a few years ago, right? I'm going to need someone (even Rene, that's how desperate I am, and I wouldn't totally hate having to deal with him in the FFs) to say something nice about her in the FFs ASAP. Instead, it's "Felicity's evil, she's dead, these are definitely her plans, remember these plans, her plans, let's bring up these plans yet again and take up time in these FFs reminding everyone these plans mean she was evil, evil, Felicity bad."

I’m assuming the new character in the future is JJ.

Those are the clips they’re using to hype the episode? Ouch. I really don’t get what Diaz supposedly knows that’s so important that he’s not rotting away in solitary for the rest of his life. If he actually tells them anything, 1) I bet Felicity could have found it out if they let her know what’s going on and 2) he’s going to do it at just the right time that he can then escape. Oliver’s basically like, “let me use my resources, aka, get away from you and go see my wife during the work day. You agree? Great! I’m gone.”

I feel like I can't trust anything about the FFs anymore. Didn't William say he didn't want to ever return to Star City in the ep he and Roy returned? For all we know, Oliver and Felicity suggested that he live his life away from SC because things were so awful once he was an adult, he agreed, became successful, etc., but now he's whining that he's been abandoned.

Yeah, that confused me. Unless it's part of a longer quote we'll see in the full Q&A I guess will be posted Monday? But I don't get holding it considering the headline.

Why do I feel like we're going to be reading previews for the finale, and Beth is still going to be going, "Will this Laurel be good or evil?" to tease her storyline?

Not necessarily. It could simply be the fact that she grew up in Star City/the Glades and that's the only life she's known, while William never returned after some undetermined point -- I assume we'll find out more about Olicity supposedly abandoning him in the future after 712, when he returns from boarding school and they can stop pretending like Oliver and Felicity never saw him again.

Yep. LOVE that. What I don't get is William's return from boarding school. Shouldn't that be the middle of the semester? Or is winter break in February for some reason?

This Ghost Initiative storyline just keeps looking worse and worse, mainly because not only does it look like Curtis won't be killed, but we're probably also going to be annoyed by him and Diaz the entire time. Wish China White and Cupid would just kill both of them.

And maybe there are a few people from ARGUS part of it?

Can Lyla bring Diaz with her to The Flash and have Cisco accidentally breach him to another Earth and leave him there so we don't have to see him on Arrow anymore? Because all I'm thinking any time I read about him being part of the Ghost Initiative or see him at ARGUS is, "Bad idea. Such a bad idea. Going to go so horribly wrong and Oliver, Felicity and William will be the ones to suffer."

Obviously they're going to bring up that awful statue for E1 LL/BC after she died during that interview, someone's going to be watching and get pissed and target both Oliver and "Laurel" for their roles in the city spending money on something so stupid. (Not at all serious. But really, I feel like that would be a valid concern.)
