I wonder if Waller's gonna give him one and send him back to Star City to complete some mission that he never did and she conveniently never mentioned while she was alive, and whatever that was is going to be the focus of S6.

You really don't have to keep repeating this. And nothing you wrote is scandalous or reprehensible, and no one here is treating it as such.

Maybe a wide shot picked up a second camera? The president specifically said "Although your brave efforts must remain a secret..." so...no way was that being broadcast.

Was that broadcast? I thought the president said something during her speech about everyone's contributions having to remain a secret. Anyway - the people of Star City wouldn't be surprised she's alive - Oliver threw a coming back from the dead party for her back in S2. Her death in S3 wouldn't be widely publicized because they buried her in a wooden box so Laurel could keep it a secret from Quentin.

I was always worried that Barry was going to run back in time to save someone again, and that's how Flashpoint affected things. Again.

You wrote that even if they didn't open it before retweeting, they still saw her. That sounds like you were pretty sure.

I'm not sure if it's this way on every browser, but I use Safari, and I can only see the middle of photos - I have to click on them to see them in full. Same in my app. Retweeting without opening it is a complete boneheaded move.

IF it's William, Oliver is going to have to draft a crayon and coloring book budget.

I feel like if it wasn't someone they wanted people to speculate about they would've just cropped out that part of the picture. But who knows with these people.

The producers are the ones who benefit the most on the financial side of things for this success, and in the larger context of his answer of which you plucked that bit out of, he spoke about how brutal the shooting schedule is for the actors so...again, I don't think there's anything wrong with him saying that they worked brutal schedules to film the crossover and do it for the fans during a PR Q&A meant to publicize the event. It's a standard company line for the leader of a group project to say it was a labor of love even though the benefits to the people involved could all be significant in various ways.

I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out that they do a whole hell of a lot of extra work for these crossovers for no additional compensation. The work schedule for some of them during the time they were filming seemed pretty awful. I imagine it was 10 times worse for the crew (although I'm guessing maybe they do get paid extra during shoots like this - not sure how that works in Canada).

I think they can be, but I'm pretty sure the reuse of dialogue was intentional, and a way to bring the familiar - things they'd already said and heard - into this hallucination. It happened too many times for it not to be on purpose.

He said it in an article a few days ago-he mentioned that they reshot a scene for 5x10 or 5x11 - can't remember which - because it didn't land right for emotional payoff later in the ep.

I know that. I never indicated thinking this was an EP-driven editorial decision that would actually play out in the show, just stated that it reminded me of those times in fandom, that's all.

MG has mentioned before that the didn't like the way the show treated his character (I think it was about his return in the 3rd season where he fought with Thea). He's been salty every since.

Ah, remember when they did this same cut to Felicity during Slade's speech in 2x09 (in the actual show-can't remember if it was in the promo) and fandom debated it for eons? Bringing me back to better times show, thank you!

Right - but didn't he say that they were all taken because they weren't metahumans?

I think it was maybe supposed to be people he'd "lost"? Which only kind of makes sense since he only lost her romantically - she's still working with him and everything, so IDK.

I liked the Arrow episode better in terms of it feeling like Arrow during a crossover - the crossover really seemed like an afterthought to me. I thought the non dream sequence scenes were off, and I agree that there was a weird lack of urgency and overall lightheartedness considering there was an alien abduction going on.

I think he was taken because he was the only other person in the group who wasn't a meta human, not for any significance he had in the dream world.

Especially when it doesn't make any kind of sense. Oliver's a hypocrite because at one point he was on a mission to kill people but he stopped her after he realized that was wrong and stopped her from doing something he thought she'd regret, so...she teams up with another murderer and puts all the people who were nice to her in danger.

http://www.ew.com/article/2016/11/30/arrow-artemis-evelyn-betrayal-mole LOL this makes no sense.

Yeah the stuff happening on earth seemed a little too lighthearted at times, like...do do dooooo aliens have them no big. Weird.

I really surprisingly enjoyed that. Oliver with Moira and Robert, Thea not wanting to leave. I was actually somewhat moved emotionally. It's also weird how this show can't figure out if they want to do Laurel dirty or make things right. Oliver loves her, wants to marry her, ditches the rehearsal dinner and doesn't return her calls. Totally ditches her to leave the world for good without saying goodbye - she has to chase after him, but then he says a nice thing for closure. LOL.
