Eh, ignore me. :)

So wait. Felicity goes from working at Kord Industries over the 5 month break to taking a part time job at Best Buy to make ends meat? WTF?
It seems like she might be working part time in addition to her regular job? People don't usually work one part time job to make ends meet.

I don't mind Felicity being in danger once or twice, it's pretty much an occupational hazard. It would fortify Oliver's stance in not letting anyone close to him, which is probably what will make him encourage Felicity to go out with Ray or someone.
Isn't Cupid obsessed with Arrow though, not Oliver? There are bigger problems afoot if she manages to figure out that Felicity's working with Arrow. If I had to bet, I'd say Felicity's safe this ep, unless we have yet another villain infiltrating the SUPER SECRET foundry. If so, it's going to become the new Laurel's apartment.

Ooof, those two ladies (together) have written 3 Season 2 eps I'm not that fond of: Blind Spot, Time of Death and Seeing Red. Isn't 3x07 supposed to be the Cupid episode?
Has to be. "Draw back your bow" is a lyric in the Sam Cooke song called Cupid.

I get it also, just don't understand why go to the trouble of deleting it. I would have just kept it up.
Maybe she realized it wasn't a good idea, or maybe someone asked her to?

I'm sure her @ replies are a nightmare and she's probably really tired of the consistent fandom backlash against her, but it's really, really better to just stay out of it. I get why she'd post that, but it's not going to make anything better.

I think the only reason Thea isn't on the poster is because she going to be in more of a villain role and they wanted to emphasize Team Arrow.
Also I really don't understand why people are so annoyed by the placement of Laurel. The obviously just wanted a boy-girl-boy-girl aesthetic. Also she is the second billed character and is probably going to be an associate of Team Arrow. The comments on the facebook page are ridiculous.
It's just the blanket assumption that a prominent place on the poster=a prominent tole on the show. Hopefully there's no correlation. I really wish I was even remotely invested in anything regarding Laurel (apart from the hope that she'll someday get on a one-way train to nowhere).
The only complaint I have about that poster is how embarrassingly awful it is for a network show, haha. Next year, just troll Tumblr and offer a fan an S3 DVD in exchange for their services, damn.

I swear I don't know what they were thinking on that poster. Like you don't have the lead character pronounce in the season finale, "It started with the three of us. That's what we need to get back" And then have the three of them as a unit on the island as the penultimate scene of the episode and then ignore that for the s3 poster. Surely Oliver didn't change his mind during the hiatus.
Even SPN's lameass poster reflects the season arc coming up. They have Sam and Dean in the front with Cas and Crowley flanking behind. And even the placement of Sam and Dean reveals a little something. Not much but a little.
Weaksauce CW...Weaksauce
I'm not sure that I agree that it means nothing. They may have used old pictures but the placement still communicates something about Laurel more than any one else. She said in the clip from the preview that her and Oliver are partners. So that means she is part of Team Arrow. Felicity wore skirts and tops and flats in s1 but it was all casual business attire not cutesy schoolgirl outfits.
But I didn't comment on the placement. That does mean that Laurel's a full-fledged member of Team Arrow (vomit). I just wrote that how Felicity and Laurel are dressed really does mean nothing.
-
Yes, I understand it's old pictures which is why I mentioned shoddy lazyass workmanship. It's still communicating something about Felicity though compared to Laurel. And even worse is though is the placement of Diggle in the back. It should absolutely have been Ollie, flanked by Felicity and Diggle and then Roy and Laurel followed by Thea and Malcolm off to the side.
Yeah, but anything that the poster is communicating about Felicity vs. Laurel is irrelevant by virtue of the fact that the network was too cheap to do a new shoot. They pieced together old ones, so they're not intentionally portraying Felicity one way and Laurel another.

Felicity looks like a schoolgirl in that poster compared to sophisticate Laurel in her suit. I sure hope it's just lazyass cheap poster work and not indicative of season arcs.
Lalalalalal I can't hear you!
I think it's because they used old pictures.
-
One thing is if the reason Malcolm and Thea aren't on it is because they reused season 2 pictures, how did the get a pic of Roy in his costume?
They probably photoshopped a pic of him in the costume in there.
Is Laurel conjuring a one-woman windstorm? Jeez. This almost looks fan made (although to be fair I've seen more professional looking fan made posters).

The poster we've been waiting for!!!! (Spoiler: it's disappointing)

Disappointing is a nice word for what that is.

I hope that the Tommy/Sara parallel ends with that quote. Please let it end with that quote.

I never thought of Felicity as a "loud" personality really..she wasn't really a daring person before Oliver and Diggle.
We didn't even know her before Oliver, and we barely knew her before Diggle.

I love that she was willing to throw Oliver under the bus..because she was only doing it for her father..I dislike it when tv characters choose love interests over family..so +1 for Laurel in my book.
This is precisely why Oliver should be wary of partnering up with her in any kind of endeavor. She was pro-Arrow, then anti-Arrow, she tried to have him arrested, then she found out who he was and realized why she "always felt this connection," then she thought about revealing him to save her father, then she knew him like she knew her own name, now she seems to be "Go Team, Go!" Where will she land next?
If there's anyone who has proven themselves to be wishy-washy and untrustworthy where Arrow's concerned, it's Laurel.

What?! I thought it was really obvious why Diggle and Felicity were recruited. They proved their worth in different endeavours (Digg with surveillance amongst other things, Felicity with her computer skills) and most importantly, they earned Oliver's trust.
Seriously. Every single scene Felicity had with Oliver in the first half of S1 was about her earning his trust, which is exactly why he ended up in the back of her car when Moira shot him.
She could've gone to the police with the info she discovered while doing work for him numerous times (armored truck heists, anyone? tiny leather hit list book of doom, anyone?), but she didn't. She did the ridiculous things he asked her to because she trusted him for whatever reason, and in turn he grew to trust her.
I honestly believe that Oliver's main reason is because he didn't love either of them. Thea called Oliver on his crap. Tommy, even at his most "I hate Oliver" stage kept that secret to himself (he could have easily told Lance or some cop) so he was trustworthy. Why weren't they told? Because he loves them (and Moira)
The fact that they were competent came second.
I love that she was willing to throw Oliver under the bus..because she was only doing it for her father..I dislike it when tv characters choose love interests over family..so +1 for Laurel in my book.
When did Felicity prove she could keep a big secret beforehand? Legit question.
If keeping a secret is the cornerstone of trustworthiness, then Oliver should be worried about Laurel, because the first thing she wanted to do when she found out he was Arrow was tell Quentin about it. Luckily he talked her out of it.
But I answered your question above. She could've gone to the police after he gave her that fob with the armored truck heist info on it, she could've gone to the police with his father's book once she thought it might have had something to do with Walter's kidnapping, she could've gone to the police when he showed up with someone else's shot-up laptop. I'd say she's pretty good at staying tight-lipped, and she proved herself in that regard.

Not as though he tested their trustworthiness beforehand.
Haha, seriously?

Laurel investing in the building makes more sense than running the club, although where she would get that kind of money (blackmail!) after having student loans and being unemployed for months, is a stretch. At least then she wouldn't be on-site all the time as she would if she were running the club. But I wouldn't put anything past Super Laurel.
Didn't one of the EPs say at CC (or in some interview) that Laurel would be in the foundry "from time to time" or something? It seemed like she was going to be there, just not all the time, or often, IDK.
-
This is why I don't think Laurel's running the club.
But Laurel doesn't have to run the club to be a partner in it. She just needs to invest money.
Eh, I just never really bought Laurel's "addict" arc in the first place, so I can't begin to care if they're not paying attention to how someone in recovery would or would not behave. Plus hell Sam worked at Cheers, as long as they have Laurel mention something similar to Sam's rationale I honestly give no fucks.
Yeah, most people probably won't care. I've just been around my fair share of alcoholics, so shitty handling of addiction storylines always bother me (and not just on Arrow).
-
Then wait and see in October Oliver and Laurel's "business partnership" will have nothing to do with Verdant. haha
Entirely possible. I just like to prepare myself for the worst.
-
This more than anything would have prevented Thea from running the club Liquor Licenses are a bitch to get and easy to lose, turning your day to day over to a 19 year old with a record? Yeah no. Did I care about Thea running the club? Yeah no. Do I care if Laurel is involved with Verdant? Yeah no, and there is no way in hell it's more absurd than Thea's doing it.
The only problem I have with Laurel doing it (because I can seriously handwave the rest of it), is the fact that she's an alcoholic who's fresh in recovery. IF Verdant's the thing, maybe the show will surprise me and they'll mention her struggle to remain sober while being a partner in a business that she invested in (LOL) because she wanted to help Oliver. I just worry since they had her saddle right up to the bar in one of the eps shortly after she entered AA without it even being an issue.
-
I would have an easier time believing that Thea, who had few previous responsibilities (except maybe clubs at school) but a family background in administration, stepped up after a tragedy and took over the club, than Laurel, who has already demonstrated she's poor at administration, can run two jobs successfully.
Maybe she's just a silent partner who infused a bunch of cash that we were never aware that she had.

mm tbh I think you guys are reading too much into it and it`s just Arrow catches then and Laurel brings justice.
Then I wonder how the "being partners with both Arrow and Oliver" quote from the EP comes into play.
-
So you're trying to say that Thea, who showed barely any responsibility in season 1, running Verdant makes more sense than Laurel? None of it makes sense but, at least they`re being consistent lol (IF this is actually the direction they go in, which I don`t think it is)
I just wonder if it's not Verdant, what other business could it be? A previously unheard of and hidden Queen asset that needed a little start-up cash? Verdant logically makes no sense for the characters, but it does make sense for proximity/plot reasons, which is why I do think that's it. I've been worried about it ever since the director of the second episode tweeted a bts photo of Laurel and Oliver in Verdant.

Maybe someone gets flowers and they're delivered by Sherwood Florist? Probably just an easter egg ::fingers crossed::
