The CW’s Slate Of Female Writers And Producers Is Truly Impressive BY JESSICA GOLDSTEIN AUG 12, 2015 3:22PM http://thinkprogress.org/culture/2015/08/12/3691069/the-cw-showrunners-on-rape-storylines-hiring-female-writers-and-women-on-tv/ Shonda aside, female TV showrunners remain the exception in Hollywood By Joanne Ostrow POSTED: 08/13/2015 11:03:27 AM http://www.denverpost.com/entertainment/ci_28634367/shonda-aside-female-tv-showrunners-remain-exeception-hollywood

Question: Is that Oliver's bike? Or Laurel's new bike? Or are there two bikes there? And where's the black van that Diggle drives? What about Thea's mode of transport?

Continued Arrow Season 3 Encore Ratings as noted by SmoakandArrow... http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2015/08/14/thursday-final-ratings-astronaut-wives-club-under-the-dome-flat-at-lows-big-brother-slips-beauty-and-the-beast-rises/447869/ Remember, this was a Thursday night airing.

I've been thinking about the explosion of DC Comics properties on or coming to TV (Arrow, Flash, Gotham, LoT, Supergirl, Titans, Powerless) - and I think the argument can be made that if EBR had not been cast as Felicity, then none of them would currently exist. Sound farfetched? If EBR had not been cast as Felicity on Arrow, then: Felicity would've stayed a one-episode character with an Easter egg name. (MG said as much in that CBR interview: "Had we cast anyone other than Emily Rickards, she would have been a one off.") There would be no original Team Arrow with its complementary team dynamic among Oliver, Diggle and Felicity. There would be no natural chemistry between Oliver (SA) and Felicity (EBR), giving rise to Olicity, and attracting the attention of network execs, producers, writers, fans and media. Arrow likely would not have lasted past one or two seasons without the original Team Arrow dynamic and Olicity potential. (How many people would've kept watching a show that focused on dour Oliver, sour Laurel and stoic Diggle?) Without a successful Arrow, there'd be no Flash spinoff and likely no Gotham - and certainly GG would not have been cast as Barry Allen since GG chem-tested with EBR. Without the amazing success of The Flash and continued success of Arrow, there's be no LoT spinoff, and likely no Titans, no Supergirl and no Powerless. Also, arguably, without the success of his superhero shows, GB would not have gotten a green light for Blindspot. Of course, the counter-argument is that Mark Pedowitz was so determined to attract the male demo to the CW that he would have made sure the Arrow EPs made changes - such as adding a bunch of new cast members, including a lighter character to bring humor to the show and maybe a new love interest for Oliver. Would it have worked? Who knows... but we certainly would not have had the original TA or Olicity.

Note the partial view of the three monitors on the far left side of the pic of the Arrow Bunker. It looks like the Flash in the top monitor, a woman with white hair(?) in the middle monitor, and a city in the third monitor. Maybe TA will be monitoring Central City and wherever LoT is located, as well as Star(ling) City, from their new lair.

Under the Dome - Episode 3.11 - Love is a Battlefield - Press Release + Promotional Photos Posted by Bradley Adams at Thursday, August 13, 2015 http://www.spoilertv.com/2015/08/under-dome-episode-311-love-is.html

They could just have her walk away from Oliver, leaving her alive and options open to having her show up in present day in future seasons.

I'm now thinking that Oliver's flashback love interest will not turn out to be a baddie who betrays him. I think she'll be Oliver's first attempt to have a relationship with a "co-worker" while he's also involved in missions. Present day Oliver will be trying to have a personal relationship with someone he works with, while still fighting bad guys, without going down the dark path he was on before. Maybe in the flashback, he failed and descended further into darkness, which either ended his relationship with her or resulted in her death somehow. That's how the flashback love story would parallel or potentially contrast with Oliver's relationship with Felicity.

Parker Young looks like he should have some chemistry with WH.

Unfortunately, it's not just fans perpetuating that fan-service myth. I've read articles where media types talk about how Oliver & Felicity's relationship was due to popular fan demand. I love this part of that Stardust interview:
