Can someone please tell me when Curtis has the time for 14 PhDs? Don’t forget he also had to train for the Olympics at some point.

https://ew.com/tv/2018/11/09/arrow-curtis-echo-kellum-video/ I'm sorry, did this guy just say Curtis has 14 PhDs? Please tell me I misheard.

Maybe JB is back for flashbacks -- perhaps he knew about Emiko Queen? This theory would only work if Jamey Sheridan returns too, I think.

Maybe they're going to show us Diaz in prison until he breaks out? (Assuming he does end up in Slabside in 707)

Ideally, we'd see all this. We'd get everyone apologizing to Felicity. Realistically? Maybe she'll mention it in a conversation with Oliver and that'll be it.

YES GLEN WINTER! One of my favorite directors.

I feel like between 704 and 705, we're going to have more Felicity/E2 LL scenes than Felicity/E1 LL scenes in four seasons.

I'm just picturing some random person who works in the office stopping by and asking Black Siren to look up something on the computer in front of her or going to move the computer to the side to show her something in a file, and Black Siren going, "No! I can't touch it! Don't touch it!" I am surprised that I don't totally hate the Felicity/Black Siren scenes this season, and I think it's partly because I'm just glad someone else other than Felicity is focused on Diaz.

Haven't watched yet, but I continue to be shocked by the CW releasing clips early.

Considering everything they're doing for each other and their family in the present, I really can't see them doing that.

There's maybe a 1% chance she's not in the flashforwards. More like .001% chance.

I just took a quick look at KM's likes on Twitter and the only Arrow ones I saw are EBR about Olicity, Arrow's tweet with the Oliver/William scene in 704 and someone's tweet about the flashforward story. I'll honestly be shocked if she's not playing Olicity's future daughter.

Oh, ideally, Diggle would be hunting down Diaz, even if it's just on his free time since ARGUS doesn't seem to care about Diaz (and while to the audience, he's not the Big Bad he's supposed to be, in-story he apparently is) and I don't see Diggle leaving ARGUS right now. But I've (angrily) accepted that he's not. They haven't spoken in years. It's not just this season. In season 5, after Felicity's boyfriend was killed, Diggle didn't once check in with her, after not even thanking her for getting him out of prison, but he talked to Dinah about getting an apartment and job ... after knowing her for what, a week? Last season, Felicity found out about Diggle's injury from the others and had a brief conversation on the phone with him about it. That was it. Felicity could have been killed in 701 if not for ARGUS arriving when they did (yet letting Diaz get away), and none of her "friends" seem to be acknowledging that.

Right now, I'm not even asking for someone to be ride or die, I'm just asking for someone to care about Felicity and maybe, you know, ask how she's doing? I don't even need Diggle to actively hunt down Diaz through ARGUS. It would be nice if he did, considering what Diaz did to Oliver, Felicity and William. But how about just checking in on Felicity as a friend? Even just a phone call? Even if she ignored his call because she was busy with the Silencer. But no, we haven't gotten that. We haven't gotten anyone checking on how Felicity's doing after everything. Watson treated her better than her supposed friends in 703. But Diggle had time to check on Dinah and stop by the hospital to see Zoe/be there for Rene. I'm not saying he shouldn't have (although I've had enough Diggle/Dinah scenes for the entire series, probably). Honestly, I expect so little from the Felicity/Diggle friendship right now and I hate that. They could have still gotten Felicity turning to BS to deal with the Silencer without making it seem like no one else cares about the fact that Diaz is still out there and recruited three other villains and has no problem breaking into places like the CDC.

Or Rory. (I'm never going to let that go.)

I'm going to be shocked if it's not a woman now (and not Oliver's half-sister, really). Also, if they try to go, "nope, it's Roy* (or any male character)," flood Beth and the writers' Twitters with this photo and "really?" *I do think they want people to think it's Roy right now and that's why we're getting all the flips and Dinah knew him in the future, so that it'll be a "shock" when it turns out to be Emiko Queen.

FYI Arrow 705 isn’t airing in NY until Saturday 11/17 due to (stupid) football.

I'm going to laugh if what Black Siren needs to "flex her muscles" as DA in 706 is amidst all those papers and Dinah or Felicity finds it at the end of 705.

I fully expect when Oliver gets out of prison for everyone to act like they were doing everything they could to catch Diaz while he was locked up. I highly doubt they'll even address what Felicity went through, other than a few Oliver/Felicity conversations. Really, I bet everyone's just going to expect everything to be fine for Felicity once Oliver's out. What she went through when he was in prison? Doesn't matter. Really, the present is making me want Oliver and Felicity to be on permanent vacation somewhere in the future and William knows and this is all part of a long con to make everyone else step up in their absence (because they do still care abut Star City but have had enough of giving up their own lives for it). They knew Roy exiled himself to Lian Yu after losing Thea and figure this is the best way to get him out of his funk.

Same. But to be honest, I’d rather not have any more Felicity/Diggle scenes right now if it’s going to be more of Diggle telling her to move on.

So do Oliver and Felicity.

They probably had food poisoning again or whatever it was in 702 that made no sense.

You know what? Maybe this "Felicity Smoak is dead" isn't a bad thing. Maybe we'll get two Olicity reunions -- in the present and future -- to make up for the lack of one on Lian Yu in 601.

Remember how in LoT's future, everyone thought Oliver was dead? Future parallel here with everyone thinking Felicity's dead, but it'll turn out, like Oliver, she too is alive in the future.

First of all, nope, don't believe Felicity's dead in the future. It's going to turn out that she's leading William to find her (and knew Roy was needed for an unnecessary flip along the way), and they're going to run into Oliver doing the same thing. (And if she's dead, I'm sorry, but Oliver has to be dead, too. Sorry, but I just refuse to accept anything other than both alive or both dead.) In theory, I don't mind Zoe being the future BC but seriously, no more BCs. Too much Dinah in this episode. I get they're setting up the new GA and right now, that's connected to Rene and Dinah, but that entire story was boring. Cannot wait for Oliver to take down the psychiatrist. SA did an amazing job in those scenes, but I'm sick and tired of seeing Oliver be beaten down (physically, emotionally, etc.). Didn't hate the Felicity/BS scenes, but I find it so sad that Felicity had to turn to BS and no one else is questioning what Felicity's up to. Really want to see E2 Felicity. Damn right she runs an empire! But hey, Beebo!
