Test your Arrow knowledge... Arrow Questions @Heroes & Villains Fan Fest in Chicago Published on Mar 12, 2016, by Up Your Geek Arrow "True or False" Q&A With Fans @Heroes & Villains Fan Fest 2016 Published on Mar 13, 2016, by Up Your Geek

To clarify, those tweeting will focus on what they're most interested in. So if there seems to be a disproportionate amount of tweets about Felicity or Olicity, that might be the reason. When we watch the full panels, there may be a lot of other things that are said about other people and other stuff. That's what I meant. From the few short video clips I've seen, I don't think anyone on the panels is anything but sincere (other than the times when they are clearly joking around).

I think we're pretty much stuck with a universe filled with superpowered beings and metahumans. Given that, I'd like Oliver to acquire some magical powers (maybe via magical artifacts) to even the playing field when he has to go up against super/meta abilities. (I don't care if it isn't comic canon.)

Who else would @amellywood like to see play Diggle? "Stephen Amell!" (That's his Diggle impression!) https://twitter.com/heroesfanfest/status/709101298017288192 ETA: A lot (though not all) of these tweets are coming from Felicity and/or Olicity fans. We have to wait until videos of the full panels are posted on youtube, so we can watch what all was said at HVFF-Chicago.

Some fan tweets from today's Men of Arrow panel at HVFF-Chicago... [Tweet includes video clip of following Olicity response by SA:] SA: "Oliver wants to be with Felicity. Uh, Felicity does not want to be with Oliver... currently. And I think that Oliver is going to maintain his position... like an adult." (Audience and other panel members laugh) CD: "A very stubborn adult?" SA: "Like an adult that maybe occasionally stomps his foot on the ground... whenever he wants, but an adult nonetheless. Maybe he'll sucker her into a fake wedding and, uh - never mind. Sorry." https://twitter.com/Olicityibelieve/status/709088354676174848 On a scale of 1 to 10 in levels of heartbreak, https://twitter.com/lschin12/status/709084696811081728 Someone asked if Diggle and Felicity end up together on Earth 2.

"@RobbieAmell" yells the audience! https://twitter.com/heroesfanfest/status/709086132106108934 "Can you imagine those legs coming at you at full speed?!" @amellywood on sparring with @david_ramsey https://twitter.com/heroesfanfest/status/709090077692059650 "Don't focus on what you can get in life - the job, the things - focus on what you can give" @PaulBlackthorne #HVFF https://twitter.com/heroesfanfest/status/709090222013743106

Here's a video clip of David Rapaport answering fan question: "How much chemistry are you able to capture during the Audition Process?"... http://olicity-i-believe-in-you.tumblr.com/ My transcription of Rapaport's response to a fan who asked how much chemistry are you able to capture during the audition process: "A lot of it is guessing, you know. I'm a bit of a matchmaker sometimes. I try to guess who would look good together, or work well together, or have chemistry. Um, sometimes you get lucky. Sometimes we do have chemistry tests where we bring in the two lead actors and have them act opposite each other. I know, for example, on The Flash - or actually, on Arrow, when we were casting the Barry Allen character, we had Grant Gustin do a chemistry read with, um, Felicity - with Emily, and they just had chemistry in spades. It was amazing, and it was so obvious to us that they should be together. And sometimes, you know, the actors are up in Vancouver, and the role that we're casting, we're down in L.A., so we don't get an opportunity to test that chemistry, and we just sorta hope for the best. And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'll take, uh, full responsibility for the ones that work. And the ones that don't, I'll just blame it on someone else."

I think another consideration is that they might want to do another tie-in comics series this summer (since there was none last summer). So you have to have Oliver fighting as GA over the summer. If S4 ends on a cliffhanger, then what's going to happen over the summer? If they go with real time like they usually do, they can't have anything real significant happen while the show is off the air for 5 months. That's why I think that S4 will end on some kind of hopeful note, with an opportunity for minor storytelling over the summer hiatus. But I could be completely wrong. Maybe S4 will end with Felicity disappearing and then Oliver will spend the next 5 months searching for her with no success. Then there's SA saying that S4 ends with a more finalized, balanced Oliver (according to fan tweets from HVFF-Chicago). So hopefully, Oliver will realize he was wrong about how he handled the whole BMD and will also have defeated Darhk without succumbing to the darkness. Maybe he and Felicity agree to try again in 423, but their relationship will slowly rebuild over the summer hiatus while he earns her trust on a personal level again. In contrast, flashback Oliver will have succumbed to the darkness - maybe due to Poppy's death. Then hopefully next season we'll get the Bratva storyline and Oliver doing more fight training (which we haven't seen much of in flashbacks).

More fan tweets from HVFF-Chicago yesterday... David Ramsey is the sweetest!! He said that https://twitter.com/TriciaTesH/status/708807540855873536 OMG Stephen just teased Sara from the pilot was his fave girl on Arrow to kiss he refused to really answer the question https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708725330291376130 Guy just asked about BC and Arrow getting together and dissed Felicity. Katie acted coy, but no on else even entertain the Question. https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708719334055616512 Caity just joked the hardest scene forever one to film was her death scene, because everyone was so sad https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708714263511228418 Willa https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708711461829419008 Katrina on not having training in fighting " it's kind of a free for all, you just hope for the best!" LOL https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708710626684706816 Basically Paul said he can't reveal his emotions about who's in the grave, but he has some https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708697219847884801 Guys, Mama Smoak inadvertently revealed a big spoiler to me but I am not going to post it out of respect for her. She didn't mean to. https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708697604511678466 Mama Smoak did not confirm she was a season 5 regular, but https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708700946629578753 She didn't tell me who's in the grave but inadvertently revealed a major player in the grave theories who's not https://twitter.com/Felicitys_Arrow/status/708703425140236289

Laura Hurley gives three examples of what she thinks were "organic plot twists" ... slowcookedvig asks: I'm also a fan of character development, and get frustrated with Arrow over it. It's interesting that the EPs talk about "organic" development, when their plot twists are often not. I suspect that it's hard to be organic with the way they write: a season-long outline of both plot & character, which is then split between teams of writers and implemented by directors & actors. So, in a search for hope: when have they been especially successful in making their plot twists feel organic?
