Wait, so, how dare the show not constantly mention Oliver's exes, even when he's in a serious relationship and even though he's married? Is that what this article's saying?

The thing is, what does it say about E1 LL if they have BS do a job even a tiny bit successfully LL spent years working towards after reading a book?

Ugh. That’s my only reaction to the BS news. Of course she’s doing great. Of course the newbies are doing great. Of course Felicity is standing with two people she should never speak to again and that will never be addressed. No, but seriously, how the hell is BS the DA? Watson knows she’s not E1 LL. Is she really just not informing anyone that SC has a DA with no law background? Oh wait, she just doesn’t care because she got what she wants: Oliver’s in prison. I guess that book BS read was magical.

Maybe Diggle’s going to stay at ARGUS in some capacity even after there’s a team again? Even just for a couple episodes? Though I hate to think of any team with the newbies on it. They really are the worst.

That’s what I’m thinking could be the case. Hopefully we get some comments soon about it. Maybe someone will say something at the convention this weekend.

Regarding the reddit spoilers: There is pretty much nothing they can do with Rene that will make me not hate having him on-screen after last season. If Oliver is the only one in the crossover (which I’m not sure I buy), I’m even more interested in what the MSF will look like and I’m going to assume the MSF is 708. Presumably 708 couldn’t end with anything cliffhanger-y for Felicity/William/Diggle because I can’t see Oliver leaving Star City if he’s the only one to if something happens to any of them. Or the episodes would have to go 708-710 with 709 not really part of season 7, storyline-wise?

Now I remember when I wanted Dinah/Lance to happen.

You would think. But I wouldn't be surprised if we get a scene of Diggle visiting Oliver in prison and going, "yeah, Felicity and William are fine." Cut to the attack. If someone is watching them, you'd think they'd intervene before Felicity could get that beat up. Unless the ARGUS agents (presumably) are killed by whoever attacks her. Which could happen. Remember when a teenager bribed an ARGUS agent to get BS out in S5? ARGUS agents are only as competent as they need to be at any given moment.

I really hope Felicity points out how this is just another example of Oliver’s stupidity at the end of S6. “You and William need to be safe in protective custody.” ”Yeah, about that. Clearly didn’t work.”

She can use the red pen!

What pisses me off is we continue to see that Oliver and Felicity (and William) are the ones suffering while the newbies ... live their lives in Star City? Are we supposed to go, “oh, poor newbies, they’re not suiting up”?

Extended video. Felicity visiting Oliver and looking pretty banged up?! Give me season 7 now!

Did I see correctly that it’s a “suit up” promo? And they included Felicity? I may be in shock. Now that’s the kind of promotion I like to see for Arrow.

I got the bridge one ... where the entire image was the bridge. Followed by street signs. Stopped voting after that.

Did he mean that it's going to be the last episode before the midseason break or the MSF in the sense that it sets up the rest of the season? (Can't watch video now) Because if it's the latter, that's kind of weird. It would only work if the crossover ended with Arrow, but it's the middle of it.

You know what confuses me the most when I see articles like this? The fact that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything like that for The Flash with Harrison Wells. The articles treat each Earth’s version of that character like a different person. Every season. It’s simple. Because they’re not the same person. Same universe, characters around all the time and not just for one crossover like E-X. Then you bring in E2 LL, and all of a sudden, it’s like, “she can be E1 LL! There’s a piece of “our” Laurel in her!” Even when we’ve seen the opposite of that onscreen, that doesn’t change. We’ll keep getting articles talking about how E2 LL can be E1 LL, no matter what.

No. That’s just stupid. She wasn’t trying to “apprehend” Diaz but kill him (which could easily have been seen as helping him escape if they didn’t plan to put her on the path of redemption). Am I the only one who feels like this sounds like the team owes BS something for ... Lance’s crazy thinking in season 6? (Also maybe it would be easier to accept if the article didn’t call her Evil Laurel but E2 Laurel instead.) I think articles like this wouldn’t bother me so much if the show had actually written a semi-decent path to redemption story in S6. It could have been done. It wasn’t.

Oh, it would be a huge mistake to not have any Oliver/Felicity scenes until he's out of prison, considering he's in there for multiple episodes.

I do wonder how they're going to do the midseason finale/premiere this year. If 708 is the MSF, they can't really have anything flow into 710, story-wise. Has anyone said anything about how the MSF is being done for Arrow this year? (talk of cliffhanger/no cliffhanger/etc.)

Not me because then next thing you know, they’ll start acting like Curtis was this wonderful character/hero. I’m all for him leaving Star City, never to be seen or heard of again.

Bring on Smoak Tech! Now I’m getting excited about season 7!

Honestly the first thought that came to me was that Persons Unknown series. Didn't that end with the people on Level 2? Or am I remembering wrong? Anyway, that led to some weird thoughts about Oliver having to fight his way past different levels to get out of prison, with Watson the one pulling all the strings.

I have a feeling we'll never see Felicity in a costume on Arrow. Maybe if they do some alternate universe thing like LoT, but not the Felicity we know. That being said, they better show that she really knows how to defend herself--which doesn't mean she has to go out into the field, Arrow--when season 7 begins with her in witness protection with William and away from everyone else. It annoys me we've only gotten, what, 3 scenes of Felicity doing any kind of training in 6 seasons?

I'm sorry, are they really saying "hero training in progress" and showing Black Siren? Especially since this was all filmed last year, right? When she was 100% villain?
