After reading the 417 writers' tweets, I also think that Felicity uses the T-spheres in 417. That would both be a technical challenge and also cause strong viewer reaction (both ways). Oliver is supposed to be seriously injured in 416 or 417, so he may be hampered in his ability to swoop in and save everyone. Also, Brie's expertise is teckky computer stuff. So he likely enlists the help of Curtis, who manages to somehow communicate with Felicity who's inside Palmer Tech. Together, they manage to outmaneuver and defeat Brie. Also, remember, MG's Bily Joel song pick for 417 is "She's Always a Woman."

Curtis' T-spheres could be considered copyrighted material and/or patentable inventions... As copyrighted material, they would likely be considered the property of Curtis' employer, Palmer Tech: http://copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf As a patentable invention, it may depend on Curtis' employment circumstances: http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/who-owns-patent-rights-employer-inventor.html

Per MG, Genesis song for 420 is "Land of Confusion" - here are its lyrics... I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street Now did you read the news today They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There burning into the night There's too many men, too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see this is a land of confusion? Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in Ooh, Superman where are you now When everything's gone wrong somehow? The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour This is the time, this is the place So we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why, this is a land of confusion This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in I remember long ago when the sun was shining Yes, and the stars were bright all through the night And the sound of your laughter as I held you tight, so long ago I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know, we'll never keep Too many men, there's too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see, this is a land of confusion? Now this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to http://www.metrolyrics.com/land-of-confusion-lyrics-genesis.html

Exclusive Preview: ARROW: DARK ARCHER Chapter 5 DC Comics 20 hours ago http://www.comicosity.com/exclusive-preview-arrow-dark-archer-chapter-5/

The CW Seed is airing the old Birds of Prey tv show (you can watch for free)... http://cwseed.com/shows/birds-of-prey/pilot/?play=8f54ed05-ae79-4a64-ba8f-b923d362182f I got a kick out of watching the pilot again.

I watched the 416 extended promo video again (page 32 of Spoilers thread) and noticed there's a shot of what appears to be Malcolm visiting Darhk in prison ("HIVE is going ahead with Genesis but not with you"). This puzzles me. Doesn't the world still think that Malcolm's dead? And isn't he still wanted for conspiracy and mass murder - and also maybe the kidnapping of William (if Oliver shared the identity of the one-handed man with police)? So how is it that he can walk into a correctional institution and visit a prisoner there?

There's this MG quote (although he doesn't say when they "pick[ed] a horse")... GUGGENHEIM TALKS NEW "ARROW" CHARACTERS, CALLS "LEGENDS OF TOMORROW" HIS "CRAZIEST SHOW" EVER Thu, August 13th, 2015 at 8:02am PDT http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/marc-guggenheim-talks-new-arrow-characters-legends-craziness

Isn't the Marvel costume designer already doing some work on GB's shows? I saw pics of a new female DC character that just appeared on Supergirl who looks like a clone of a well-known Marvel character. ;) (spoiler) I don't watch The 100, but I'm surprised that Lexa's death came as such a shock. As soon as Fear the Walking Dead was renewed for a second season, didn't people expect that Lexa would be written off The 100 somehow? It would've been difficult for Alicia Debnam-Carey to be a regular cast member on two shows at the same time. Incidentally, I was channel surfing last night and came across this 2010 movie, Legion, that starred both Adrianne Palicki and Willa Holland. They both looked much younger, but AP acted completely different from Bobbi, while WH was pretty much just being Thea.

MG debunked a fake Arrow script page... https://twitter.com/mguggenheim/status/707009976191963136

FYI, I just posted some news reports from 2013-14 on CL's casting (including quotes from AK and CL) in the Social Media thread. I think that we can fully expect the death to be a heroic one - whoever dies. I'm imagining something along the lines of Jean Grey sacrificing herself to save everyone else in the plane in that X-Men movie.
