I just don't think that if they were going to use one character to connect three shows, that they'd choose Laurel to be that person. I think they're hush hush about her storyline because it relates to Sara, and they don't want us to know why Sara comes back yet.

She said that she's instrumental in getting the LoT together (still think she's going to be sucked into an AU or they'll go back in time to save her from dying or whatever), but MG said she's not the floater.

I don't have an issue with it. That problem exists whether he's the floater or not, since the shows will be in a shared universe. He's alive, regardless of whether he's on her show or not, since there will be crossovers.

It's a character who originated on Arrow that isn't part of the main cast on LoT (so, not Ray or Sara). I can see it being Malcolm as some kind antagonist who ties the worlds together - no one has to work with him, and he doesn't have to be part of any teams. He just has to show up and be linked to whatever action is happening at the time, or deliver a threat or whatever. IIRC MG said it wasn't Laurel or Felicity.

Yeah, I think they're equating happy with "care free," like while they're away from Starling City. I think the "tortured love" part comes into play when they come back to Star(ling) City and the real world, and have to try to make it work personally and professionally. They're gonna fight and hit some bumps there. I mean, I'm not ruling a breakup out of the question - but I don't think that's what they're referring to now.

During Comic Con, didn't one of the EPs insinuate that Oliver's hair and beard was fake at the time he was rescued?

People also think that Oliver Queen is dead (which, I suppose, might be part of the reason why they don't notice MM, but he looks EXACTLY the same as he did when he was evildoing). And yeah, they might notice him if he looked exactly the same, but he has facial hair and longer hair, and was he that well known outside of Starling City? I'm sure the boating accident was big news in the business community because of Robert, but....without any reason to believe Oliver's still alive, I'm not sure that anyone would give him a second glance on the street (apart from thinking he was hot).

Well, we're supposed to buy that no one has noticed Malcolm Merlyn walking around Starling City, and he tried to destroy a large chunk of it, haha.

Sorry, she's not. She's talking about a fictional character, that I'm sure EBR feels very close to and loves a whole lot. I'm not saying it wasn't a hurtful thing to hear, but I do not think it was bullying.

I don't think telling EBR that there are people who hate Felicity and think she's ruined the show makes that reporter a bully, I just think it makes her an asshole. And someone who shouldn't be interviewing people. I'd feel a little differently if she was talking about an actual person.

There's a way to ask an actor to address negative fan reaction without being an asshole. She could've said, "Emily, there are some people who didn't like Felicity's story arc this season, and felt that she was a weak link. What do you have to say about that?" instead of commenting on how people thought Felicity ruined the show. I don't have any issues with people getting called out for being rude, but the interview was removed - no need to harass the lady.

I think it's on the verge of going too far. That reporter didn't bully EBR, she was an asshole to her. Not okay, but the video was taken down, so what good does continuously @ replying her do? It's probably not going to make her any more pleasant in future interviews (if she gets them).

Given that we know Felicity has a hand in "bringing Ray back onto the show," per WM, I wonder if one of the twists is that she's known all along he wasn't dead/is miniature? I mean, I can't think of any twists with her that would truly shock me that don't suck or aren't made of DO NOT WANT, so I'm sticking with these easy ones that don't make my stomach hurt.

I don't think DD is related to Felicity, unless WM was trying to throw a curveball by saying they're still trying to figure out how to work her father into the story.

I think "haunt" is an unfortunate word to use, because they could mean it in a disturbing way, or that it's just something that keeps coming up throughout the rest of the season.

Thank you!

It's not a tissue-ready twist. From the interviews this weekend - there's a twist with Felicity, and from somewhere (I can't figure out which interview), we're supposed to need tissues for some reason.

Oh, man. Are we going to get an alternate universe EVIL!Arrow team member that's, like, kidnapped the real team member and locked them in a safe location ala Mad Eye Moody?

I think Felicity worknig with the team behind Oliver's back is kind of likely, especially since she left them there without anyone to run the technological show, and also because of SA's comments about Felicity being the restless one between the two of them. I also think the twist could have something to do with her figuring out something to do with Ray's mini-ness.

Since O&F continued on their road trip, I really don't understand how the ramifications of the singularity over on The Flash can play out on Arrow if it's got anything to do with time shifts (which I assumed it did considering the EPs were talking about the show exploring multiverses). But then again, maybe that's how Rip Hunter comes into play? I still think Laurel's either going to temporarily die or get sucked into some weird time vortex, thus fullfilling KC's assertion that Laurel is key to getting the LoT gang started on their little quest. I don't believe this show could ever be "light," but it can be lighter, and still kind of depressing. Not sure what the shocker could be, but hopefully it's a situational kind of shocker instead of a THIS CHARACTER DIES or THIS CHARACTER'S LIFE IS TERRIBLE, NO HAPPINESS FOR YOU kind of thing.

It's all cute.

Already posted in another thread.

That's a cute pic, and boy does he look goofy with those socks, haha.

Yeah, he was very sure of who Felicity's dad is. It's just that he can know who he is even though he still hasn't been worked into the story. If it's not misdirection, hopefully they do get him in there. It seems like Emily was a little worried that they were going to put it off again this season since she brought it up a few times.

I think it's difficult to tell because of the lighting in the pic and the fuzzy screenshots we've gotten of it. Seems like it's maybe dark grey leather?
