Me too. I hope it's an actual goatee and not a Van Dyke - he'll look like Supermax's lone hipster.

Prison makes you make unfortunate shaving choices I guess.

Yeah, I’d be surprised if they’ve seen each other at all during the break. Unless it was needed for, um, plot reasons.

Random aside: Janina Gavankar is at the royal wedding and she looks AMAZING.

Not true - can confirm.

Oui, it was me. I have never been so blatantly and repeatedly gaslighted by a show before. It is an experience.

I mean, if it was some superfluous ship scene it's whatever, but they cut out pretty much anything moving about Oliver knowing and acknowledging what he was giving up by making this deal. It was like he was going away awaiting trial, not THE REST OF HIS LIFE. There wasn't any urgency or finality to it at all. Terrible decision.

LET IT DIE

I will always do my best to make it as creepy as possible.

But she's really, really sad about Daddy!

From this post: LOL, give me a break

That part of the Oliver/Felicity scene at the SCPD at the end was cut.

At this point, given where the characters are (mostly NOT like their comic counterparts) - unless you're writing a specific arc that you'd like some backstory for, how would reading the comics help? I'd understand if everyone/everything was more canon compliant, but it's not. Seems like fan service tweeting, LOL.

Who is that?

That's a role I did NOT know he was struggling with!

He sounds terrible.

The best way to do it, honestly.

No worries - the only one the writers are ever interested in giving any consequences to is Oliver - over and over again, rinse and repeat, the same story again and again and again. And then again when they run out of ideas a couple months later.

"I can't find Felicity without Felicity!!1111!!!"

MG mentioned it in his post-mortem, so I'm assuming it was at least talked about. With Beth taking over now who knows whether she'll choose to address it or not. Love or hate Olicity, I don't think there's much arguing that the drama surrounding that breakup lost them a sizable chunk of their audience. It should absolutely be addressed, but I think they need to be kinda careful about the route that they take with it, especially after a season that was not well received.

If Diggle had taken the suit, Oliver probably would've just added something like, "And as your next Green Arrow, be on the look out for John Diggle - who lives at 123 S. Main Street in Star City, and has one wife named Lyla Michaels and a son, JJ, who attends preschool at Star City Starter Academy - this June."

Below is a dramatic reenactment of MG's estimation of his own writing, and what he expects when he turns in a script:

I wouldn't be surprised if getting kicked out of kindergarten was a story he concocted as backstory for #KidVicious.

For someone who was so eager to bring down the fury of God on Diaz or whatever she said earlier in the episode, she sure does give up easily!

I guess, it just seemed like an oddly placed comment. Just keep looking for him?
