I agree with what Laura Hurley wrote about what if Felicity's S3 love interest had been a normal guy.. I we're done with Raylicity THANK GOD but I just wanted to ask this because I feel like the idea of Felicity having a love interest outside of Oliver was an interesting idea but the execution fell flat because it was Ray Palmer The Atom. Do you think this triangle would've been better had he just been a normal, nice guy who is a lot like Felicity in intelligence and wit but not trying to be propped up for a spin off? Oh and also not take her away from Digg and Oliver, the two she works best? Jun 29, 2015 4:01 pm http://laurawritesabout.tumblr.com/post/122786911276/i-were-done-with-raylicity-thank-god-but-i-just

The song is spot on... really good job. Thanks.

I just don't trust these EPs. Yes, Felicity was the last thought in dying Oliver's mind - but he also stared at a picture of Laurel on the island in the first year. Yes, Felicity has been tied to Oliver's humanity - but she could be turned into just a necessary stage in his hero journey, like Gwen Stacy or Lana Lang - the one that changes him from Arrow to GA. It's really all up to the EPs. Plus they have shown no compunction about retconning the past to set up their desired future. With all due respect to others' opinions here ;), I don't think that S3 was the season where the EPs would've started hinting at a GA/BC team-up and laying the foundation for a future O/L reunion, because S3 Oliver needed to be isolated from everyone else in service to the becoming Ra's storyline. I think that S4 will the season where the EPs could - if they want to - start teaming up GA & BC and - again if they want to - start dropping hints about a future O/L re-hookup. I really hope not, but this next season will be critical. Because I've been watching Poldark... I see Laurel as Elizabeth and Felicity as Demelza. Laurel is the girl that Oliver loved before he went away and the girl that he still had lingering feelings for when he returned home, only to find that she hooked up with his best friend during his absence. Felicity is the girl that was an unexpected surprise and the girl that becomes necessary to Oliver's happiness in his new life after he returns home. She is the one who fits his future. With respect to retconning O/L, I agree that it was done to prop up O/S in S2. I still suspect that the EPs were (at one point) considering keeping Sara as the BC and either dropping Laurel or making her a different superhero. I think that Warner Bros. & DC Comics wanted a BC on TV in S3 for their own reasons, so the EPs had to choose between Sara or Laurel, and they ultimately went with Laurel for whatever reason (her name, contract, story options, etc.). I have no facts to back up my suspicions, just speculation based on the unwarranted O/L retconning, CL being given BC comics to read by DC Comics when she was cast, Sara's heavy presence in S2, and KC's lack of promotions/silence during S2 and her subsequent giddy joy over being given Sara's jacket at the end of S2.

After watching four seasons, I wanted to watch the fifth and final season... but I really don't know how long I can stick it out. I forgot how annoying I found parts of this show until I watched last night's episode. How many times now has Tom Mason gone off and been presumed dead, only to turn up miraculously alive? I still can't stand the Hal/Maggie/Ben love triangle. Weaver has been reduced to a sidekick. I do like Anne though.

The relationships that really grabbed me were Ross & Demelza, Caroline & S1 Dwight, and Drake & Morwenna. Bit of trivia - Robin Ellis (Ross) and Angharad Rees (Demelza) co-starred again in a 1980 TV movie, The Curse of King Tut's Tomb. He played Howard Carter and she played Lady Evelyn Herbert: Ellis first appears at 1:06 and Rees first appears at 5:40... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uK96GA8V454

Here's an interesting NY Times article on SDCC... Comic-Con, Defending Fantasy Culture and, Now, Its Brand By MICHAEL CIEPLY and BROOKS BARNESJUNE 28, 2015 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/29/business/media/comic-con-defending-fantasy-culture-and-now-its-brand.html?partner=socialflow&smid=tw-nytimes&_r=0

Laura Hurley writes about why she thinks the Lauriver romance was canned (combination of factors) and why she thinks it will not be revived (I'm not so sure about that)... Here's a random q (if you have the time/interest). I'm watching S1 of Arrow and as a dedicated Felicity/Olicity fan I was surprised at how I didn't have an issue with Laurel/Laurel and Oliver. I keep hearing no chemistry between SA/KC etc. but I'm not seeing a huge warning light for them In your opinion, why do you think they canned the Lauriver plot. Or do you think they've just shelved it? Thanks in advance - I love reading your metas :).
