I laugh that Stephen could tweet a blurry picture of him and Grant Gustin wishing happy Valentine's Day but not one of Olicity to support his show 😐

Nifty

The thing is there has been polls like that done on twitter before and that's never happened from my memory. I'm not that mad as even though I don't watch B99 it seems like they have a good time on the show and with the fandom, and I thought that the video Andy and Melissa did was cute even as an Arrow/Olicity fan, but it's odd to go from 48% at the close of the poll to 52% after. It seems to big a margin to account for just a glitch.

At that it was from a legitimate and big name reviewer to. In regards to his comments about Felicity Smoak fans, they are also the same people who have claimed to have quit the show. So I'm not sure why they even care what happens to Olicity or Felicity on the show now?

I didn't realise that the 5000 votes Jake and Amy won by happened AFTER the poll had closed hmmm 🤔

I'm guessing there was some creative voting by the B99 fandom.

If only they could save money by hiring regulars who can both actually act and written to be likeable while not taking over or dominating storylines of exsisting characters 😢

I hate it too. But I also hate this future so time travel wipe the shit out of it (except Curtis leaving, Felicity and her offspring hating Dinah, Rene being in a walled city away from everyone else and the Olicitot- those things can stay) All I wanted was to see Olicity and their kids and Diggle and his kids saving the city together or saving one another and not being shitty parents whose kids feel abandoned by.

Also where the fuck is Barry and Team flash when Star City turned into a dystopian hell scape? Central City is only a train ride away so what were they doing to help? Or did they just go "well since it's not a crossover time guys you're on your own"? Or is Barry suppose to be missing around the same time as Star City and the Glades go down and whatever happens to Team Arrow happens?

Go back through the spoiler thread. I remember it was posted there. I know Jbuffy is hinging a lot on the scotch as being the smoking gun so I too wondered if she'd read the interview where KM said she chose scotch.

I mean that means that their being survielled even in private? I mean they were in Mia's apartment pretending not to know each other. I mean William seems to be a tech genius, Felicity is a tech genius and if Curtis is alive he's a tech genius as well. Between the three of them you would think they'd have enough brain power to create bug killers or distorters so they don't have to act like they don't know each other. And why is it specific to Mia only? If there's some kind of danger to them why didn't William pretend not to know other members of the team and vice versa? Im not saying that's not what is happening or could happen, and that they are dragging things out, I just believe that given the limited quality these writers have in pulling off even the most basic plots I can't see them pulling something off as needlessly complicated as the amount of plot holes this storyline has so far in a way that isn't a train wreck.

But who exactly are they conning when in private situations they've pretended not to know her and Mia has referred to Oliver and Felicity by name in private situations. Are they all conning each other including Mia conning her brother and vice versa? To achieve what exactly? And not recognising Mia as an adult I can understand but if Oliver and Felicity have kid/s why hasn't anyone mentioned or referred to them. Especially when the plot of the flash forwards is them following a trail of what Felicity is up to. Why not mention, hey maybe we should ask her daughter/son/twins etc. I think what annoys me is if the purpose of this storyline is leading to Mia being revealed as Oliver and Felicitys daughter then why not just establish she is their daughter from the start. It's not a shocking thing to believe that Oliver and Felicity would procreate given they are married and have both indicated they'd like kids in subtle ways over the years. Or if they do want the added mystery why not at least reference that there is a kid out there, or link Felicitys "evilness" with her sadness or anger at losing her daughter x amount of time ago sending her over the edge, and then have the surprise reveal that what do you know Mia is their daughter. To me the meat and bones of the storyline seems to be what's happened to Felicity and how does it relate to a plan to destroy Star City and how did Star City and the Glades get so divided in the first place. Why not have Oliver and Felicitys daughter involved in that from the get go with her brother and all the other Team Arrow kids. It hurts my brain to think how exactly they are going to explain it.

Well considering that Mia is anywhere between 20-18 it means Dinah and Rene would have to be estranged within either this season or next to not know that Oliver and Felicity have a child.

If it's a long con or they are just "bull shitting" then what? We are expected to believe that everyone including Mia's potential brother are acting like they don't know who Mia is in situations not required for them to pretend not to know her and Mia is acting like she doesn't know who they are and refers to Oliver and Felicity by their names as though she doesn't know them intimately and appears to hate them or at least what they represent- vigilantism- for what actual purpose? Not saying it's out of the realm of possibility but if it happens it's a cluster fuck of pointless nonsense and makes everything about the flash forwards pointless nonsense.

That still leaves the series ending on a cliff hanger or assumption that Oliver and Felicity lose their child and for the next 18-20 years do nothing about that in order to have 2040 be canon. To quote @BkWurm1 word, there seems to be very little scenarios that the writers can play out to reveal she's their child that isn't a dumpster fire, with the exception of some kind of time travelling reset or it being revealed to be another earth or something.

The thing about the whole snatched from birth explanation is ok that explains the flash forwards (kind of because it still doesn't explain why any of the characters including potentially Felicity have openly thought maybe she is the daughter that was snatched from birth) yay. But we still have one season maybe another 1,2,3 after that to go with the show and for Mia's age to fit that means Olicity would have to be pregnant around now. Which means we would have to watch Olicity have and lose their baby in the present. And then what? The rest of the series is either them being totally depressed over their lost child and doing nothing about rescuing her? Or them carrying on with their lives and doing nothing about rescuing her? Neither option makes for pleasant television watching.

Thanks for the fact check, but even if Arrow has already dropped under a million before it seems to me like the eventually the show is going to fall below a million viewers as a regular occurrence, that's all I was trying to say. Im well aware that the CW don't give a shit about ratings. If they did 90 percent of the shows they have on air would have been cancelled already based on their ratings.

I never said any one cares. I was merely making an observation that I think by the end of this season or next their new normal will be ratings that plateau or sit at below 1 million 🤷‍♀️

It honestly looks like Arrow will eventually drop below 1 million viewers if not by the end of this season then by next.

I do agree that Stephen has been phoning in some of his performances this season. Sure it's the CW but the dude is making $125,000 an Ep and seems to be given time off every second weekend to go on holidays...he could put in effort.

I mean we are all involved in fandom and some of us are struggling to to keep watching this show so is it really that surprising that general viewership numbers seem to keep going down every week?

I was probably being generous saying 10 fans.

So if I'm getting the gist, once again Marc shafts Felicity/Emily in terms of storylines in an episode he's written 🤔 I'm glad Beth wrote a love letter for the maybe 10 fans who like NTA.

And the Felicity haters spin this into her being a toxic abusive influence in 3,2,1... Seriously if Williams whole beef is that Felicity sent him to a fancy boarding school for a couple of months to protect his ungrateful life and he's still whinging about it 20 years later, then he's not worth it.

I just checked what day Valentines Day is on and it's a Thursday which is when Legacies airs right? So I'm guessing it's referring to them especially given the Klaroline gif.
