I didn't post WeWatchforthePlot's review of 3x20 "The Fallen" last week because Kerry has gotten SO negative about Arrow that I was turned off by it. Anyway, I decided to post it fyi, so here it is (shrug)... Nanda Parbat, Sex Club April 28, 2015 Kerry https://wewatchfortheplot.wordpress.com/

Also loved Hurley's "deleted scenes" review -- that reference to "Bows, Staffs, and Beyond" was funny.

If you like Felicity and her romance with Oliver, then this article will have you seeing red. According to this writer, Olicity is to blame for what's gone wrong with the show, and the EPs apparently have no will of their own but just blindly obey the demands of Olicity shippers. I guess it's true that different people can watch the same show and see completely different things (I've noticed that that website has several writers who really don't like Felicity, except maybe as a minor supporting character)... Why "Olicity" is killing Arrow *spoilers* by Michael Barone ⋅ Posted on May 2nd, 2015 at 8:48pm http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/05/03/why-olicity-is-killing-arrow-spoilers-2904151?lt_source=external,manual Personally, I was ready to quit the show after the first two episodes of season 1. The introduction of Felicity and the development of the original Team Arrow trio of Oliver, Diggle & Felicity are what kept me tuned in.

Regarding that TVandFilmReview poll for The Most Beautiful Women on US TV 2015, the website posted the following message today (I'm assuming that date is May 3 and not March 5, since the poll closed today): http://tvandfilmreview.com/2015/04/26/the-most-beautiful-women-on-us-tv-2015-vote-now/ https://twitter.com/tvandfilmreview

I think that someone at CW Arrow is definitely keeping track of fan complaints. They addressed the Diggle not having a costume complaint in the last episode. Now they've addressed the how-can-Oliver-beat-Nyssa complaint (although it still doesn't explain his beating her in all prior fights).

I'm probably wrong, but I'm now leaning toward the completed wedding being Thea/Roy. Hear me out... If the spoilers are true, then we know that: -- Ep. 22 has the "most insane" cliffhanger they've ever done. -- Ep. 23 will have Ra's targeting Starling City. -- Ep. 23 ends in "kind of" a cliffhanger. -- MG felt like they were writing "a series finale" (when writing Ep. 23). -- S1 through S3 have been a trilogy of sorts, and Ep. 23 puts a "punctuation mark" on that trilogy. -- The EPs haven't decided yet if the marriage will carry into S4. If Oliver & Nyssa actually get married, then I don't see how their marriage is consistent with the above spoilers. Who would end a series with a main character still trapped in a forced marriage? (Also, I'd like to believe that the EPs do realize how terrible an idea it would be to force Nyssa to marry Oliver.) Plus, the EPs do love their fake-outs. So here's my current crack theory: In 3x22, with Maseo's help, Team Arrow escapes from the dungeon and interrupts Oliver/Nyssa's wedding. They fight the LOA. Ra's and Oliver just watch. Nyssa may be forced to watch. Team Arrow is overwhelmed and losing when ARGUS agents (contacted by Maseo) sweep in and help them, but Ra's, Oliver and Nyssa have disappeared. Cut to Thea and Roy getting married. 3x22 ends with Ra's, Oliver and Nyssa on a plane headed to Starling City with the bioweapon. In 3x23, Oliver and Nyssa turn on Ra's - who is maybe defeated when he finally shows a sliver of human weakness of love for his daughter at the end (maybe Nyssa is indeed his daughter by his dead beloved?). Nyssa becomes the new Ra's (so she can continue to train Laurel in Nanda Parbat over the summer hiatus). Diggle and Lyla agree to help ARGUS in the future. Oliver doesn't know what he's going to do with his life now that the city thinks the Arrow is dead, but for now he enjoys a drive with Felicity in his new Porsche (he either left Nanda Parbat with some treasure or was gifted some gold by Nyssa, giving him new assets with which to buy back QC in the future?). We see Damien Dahrk for the first time. The EPs may not have decided whether WH/Thea is returning as a regular cast member next season. On the one hand, Thea could stay married to Roy and live far away from Starling City. Then Thea & Roy would only return in recurring roles, and Thea never fulfills her comic destiny as Speedy (unless she shows up as Speedy in the same way that Roy shows up as Arsenal on Arrow, The Flash or the Spinoff). On the other hand, sometime during the summer hiatus, Thea & Roy decide that marrying was a mistake (she's only 19 or 20 and was grief-stricken at the time of their marriage, he's still on the run and starts to feel guilty for dragging her into his fugitive lifestyle). They divorce or annul their marriage, and Thea returns to Starling City to become Speedy. P.S. When the EPs said that we'd find out how CL returns for the spinoff, I don't think they were talking about finding out on Arrow or The Flash. I think they were talking about the spinoff teaser that is going to debut at the May upfronts in NYC. The CW Upfront is scheduled for May 14. (source)

As usual, great analysis by Laura Hurley! Keep an eye out for her "deleted scenes" article...
