Here's why SA's 'friend-zoning' comments about Olicity make me uncomfortable... IIRC, similar comments were made about Oliver's relationship with Laurel in advance of S4 and we know what happened there. It's like the first step in distancing Felicity from Oliver's journey and then off the show.

This was retweeted by SA...

From HVFF-NY this weekend...

More nonspoilery HVFF tweets...

Yeah, that's why I prefer to watch actual videos of the panels. With tweets - even assuming they're accurate - you don't get the vocal connotations or the context.

John Barrowman Would Like To Play Captain America’s Boyfriend – Heroes & Villains Fanfest 2016 by Jason Borelli July 3, 2016 http://www.bleedingcool.com/2016/07/03/john-barrowman-would-like-to-play-captain-americas-boyfriend-heroes-villains-fanfest-2016/

My guess? "The Bachelor Mayor." (yes, that's sarcasm) Honestly, I've been trying to stay positive about S5, but it's really difficult. I do not want to watch a season of Oliver & Felicity moving on - or Felicity being stuck on another Palmer Island - or the show forgetting or ignoring the three-year buildup of the Olicity relationship. Just... no. IIRC, S1 and S3 had the highest ratings. So I feel like they're combining those two seasons with tons of vigilante action and love triangles.

Tweets from HVFF-NY yesterday...

FYI, from Laura Hurley's tumblr (hopefully, she'll still post in-depth Arrow episode reviews)...

Video compilation of portions of RC/SVS panel, SVS solo panel, SVS/MRyan/RC/VB panel, RC panel, MRowe panel and VB panel at Arc Con (in Brussels) on Jun. 25, 2016 (courtesy of yoshi monbailliu_)... ArcCon 2016 official Arrow and Flash Convention -- RC said that Iris was the love of Eddie's life. Yet another unrequited love of someone's life where that someone dies. -- MRowe said that Floyd Lawton (Deadshot) accidentally killed his brother and likes having a male companion in his life - like a brotherly figure - so he viewed Diggle like the big brother that he missed, even though he pretended like he didn't like Diggle and also didn't understand Diggle's having morals and such a strong conscience, but that's why he had an attraction to doing missions with Diggle. -- Spoiler or not? Fan asked if he liked playing Deadshot. MRowe said that it had its challenges. After Deadshot first showed up, he got shot in the face with an arrow. So he thought his character was dead, but they kept bringing him back and then kept killing him. He would "show up and blow up." He then mentioned that Earth-2 Floyd also got killed.
