Laura Hurley's 'deleted scenes' from her 3x18 review - I love that she did this (only one excerpt quoted, but recommend reading entire thing because it's quite funny in parts)...

I didn't care for McKenna so I was glad that she left. I agree with whoever said that anyone from Oliver's past, pre-island life should stay in the past as a romantic interest. The old Oliver essentially 'died' during his five years away and was reborn as this new, completely different Oliver. Speaking of the Huntress, isn't she a superhero in some comic incarnations (part of the BOP)? So that would make her the first masked female superhero shown on TV "at this point".

Ray had an Atom epiphany after having sex with Felicity. What epiphany will Oliver have after having sex with Felicity (assuming it actually happens and they aren't interrupted)? BTW, I just posted a new Robert Dougherty article in the News thread that talks about the Olicity sex scene preview and how it might be good or bad, depending on the context:

This also served to drive a wedge between Oliver and Felicity, causing her to say that "I don't want to be a woman you love" line, and partly leading her to hook up with Ray. Otherwise, Oliver returns alive and Felicity is overjoyed; she doesn't become disillusioned by Oliver teaming up with Malcolm.

I don't think the reviewer at Emertainment Monthly has ever had a negative review of an Arrow episode. This time, she praises James Bamford and his stunt team, PB as Quentin, and CR as Mama Smoak - and even uses the term "game changer"... ‘Arrow’ Review/Recap: “Public Enemy” Posted on April 4, 2015 By Nora Dominick ‘17 http://emertainmentmonthly.com/2015/04/04/arrow-reviewrecap-public-enemy/

Reading your "baby Justice League" comment made me envision baby Sara in a mini superhero costume and brandishing a nerf baton. This "who is the floater" question is being discussed on three threads here - it's confusing. I've given my thoughts in the Spinoff thread on this issue here - basically, I'd like it to be Lyla as the new head of ARGUS (replacing Waller, who could be written out because of the Suicide Squad movie). I don't see Laurel having anything that would qualify her for the job. I don't want it to be Felicity or Diggle because it would reduce their roles/screentime on Arrow.

For a show that started out purporting to be grounded in realism, it sure plays fast and loose with legal issues, financial issues, and medical issues. I get that we have to suspend disbelief to a certain extent (mirakuru, superpowers, etc.) but sometimes I get tired of just how much we're supposed to hand-wave away.

An Arrow character who will "sort of hover between all three shows and it will be their job"? My immediate thought was Felicity in an Oracle-like role. I agree that it would be the obvious choice, but that might mean that her role/screentime on Arrow gets reduced and I really don't want that to happen. In fact, I hate this idea. I think that it would be a sign that they are pushing her aside as a main character on Arrow (possibly in order to bring Laurel/BC to the forefront again). I don't think it's Laurel because she has nothing that would qualify her for that description. The shows take place in different cities, so as an ADA she would have no legal jurisdiction outside of Starling City. And as a lawyer, you can only practice law in the states in which you are licensed (passed the bar). She is likely only licensed in the state in which Starling City is located. Of course, they could have her jump to a federal organization like the U.S. Attorney's Office or the FBI (like Becket did in Castle) which would give her a broader jurisdiction. Yes, I know she's not qualified, barely does her DA job, and has violated legal ethics and the law - but when has that stopped the EPs' plans for "always trying to save the world" Laurel? Quentin? Nyssa? Roy? Malcolm? Thea? Maseo? None of these seem likely. I think that Lyla or Diggle would make the most sense, if one of them somehow becomes head of ARGUS (replacing Waller). I'm hoping Lyla, because I don't want Diggle's role/screentime on Arrow even further reduced - which would happen if he's spread across three shows. (I don't want him to become like Director Vance on the NCIS shows.) Lyla would make the most sense. Plus it would enable Diggle to still have a happy home life without making Lyla a regular cast member on Arrow. She could be away frequently on her job. I would've guessed that Waller is going to be the floater -- but there's going to be a different Waller in the Suicide Squad movie and, considering they x-ed Deadshot on Arrow because of the big screen Deadshot, they probably won't want 2 Wallers either (despite the claim that the movie-verse and tv-verse are going to be different).
