Regarding the spoiler of Oliver running around a hospital (that looks curiously empty) and MG's comment about Mama Smoak not interacting with any of the other characters... Here's my current theory - Oliver accepts Ra's offer to become the next Ra's and goes to Nanda Parbat. While there, he has an herb or LP-induced hallucination or vision of what happens to his friends in his absence. Roy impersonates the Arrow and is arrested and then either killed or jailed. The foundry blows up and Felicity is critically injured. Etc. So Oliver sees bad things happening to everyone he cares about because he wasn't there. After that, he tells Ra's he's changed his mind and returns to Starling City. Then Ra's decides to wreak vengeance on Oliver. P.S. I'm not worried about an Arrow v. Atom fight. I'm sure Oliver has a trick arrow that can short-circuit Ray's exosuit.

Felicity & Oliver are currently losing to Lauren & Bo in the Sweet 16 Round of the 2015 TV's Top Couple Tournament - voting closes Sunday, March 8, at 5 p.m. PT.

As a huge X-Files fan, I found it interesting to see how many of these guest stars I remembered (Shia LaBeauf?! Jack Black! Ryan Reynolds!)... The X-Files: 15 Guest Stars Who Made It Big Laura Hurley March 3, 2015 http://whatculture.com/tv/the-x-files-15-guest-stars-who-made-it-big.php

Someone else is skeptical about the Atom spin-off -- btw, article refers to Sara as the "original Black Canary" ;) ... Does The Atom Deserve His Own CW Spin-Off? By Paul on Mar 5, 2015 http://www.tvovermind.com/arrow/atom-deserve-cw-spin-off-252388

I love this gif so much because of Oliver's expression and because the chemistry between them is almost tangible...

That was a no-win question (due to its phrasing). It's the loaded questions fallacy (a question with a false or questionable presupposition, and it is "loaded" with that presumption - example: "Have you stopped beating your wife?"). Incidentally, Oliver and Laurel have already been put together on the show... and then they split up - just like in the comics. Granted, they didn't get married on the show - but then Laurel isn't a master martial artist on the show either.

Pure speculation - btw, I think this writer is wrong (about a lot of things)... When Will Oliver & Felicity Get Together For Real On 'Arrow'?

Arrow Is Starting to Go Off the Rails Thanks to Oliver’s Spinning Moral Compass By Paul on Mar 3, 2015 http://www.tvovermind.com/arrow/arrow-starting-go-off-rails-thanks-olivers-spinning-moral-compass-252249

Round 2 Results: Game 1.1 April and Jackson, Grey's Anatomy 60.4% Thea and Roy, Arrow 39.6% Game 1.3 Felicity and Oliver, Arrow 60.0% Booth and Brennan, Bones 40.0% (Nothing posted yet about Round 3 voting...)

I would be shocked -,shocked - if Felicity was killed permanently. Felicity, EBR and Olicity generate too much fan buzz and media attention - not to mention all those news headlines that networks love (end of year recognition, nominations, awards, polls, etc.).

Things that make you go 'huh?' (it's hard to think of EW as an adult)...

Talk about loaded questions (non-spoilery)... http://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/

Ugh... Sharon Carter. Emily VanCamp's Agent 13 was so bland compared to the other female characters like Peggy Carter, Natasha or even Maria Hill. For Steve Rogers to go from Peggy to Sharon will be a downgrade.

That's how I interpreted the asker's question and MG's response (sometimes the postings are garbled and difficult to understand). Here's the actual tumblr posting:

I find the sloppy reporting (see quote below) kinda hilarious, given the wishful thinking of some of us here... 10 Upcoming Comic Book TV Shows You Need To Know About Tom Baker 10 hours ago http://whatculture.com/tv/10-upcoming-comic-book-tv-shows-you-need-to-know-about.php

So MG will now also be working with Bryan Singer on a new movie (the additional projects being undertaken by the Arrow EPs is really piling up)... Bryan Singer Tackling Sci-Fi Classic 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' for Fox (Exclusive) "Arrow" exec producer Marc Guggenheim will adapt the novel written by sci-fi author Robert A.

Sounds like Roy is the sacrifice. Usually you refer to the death of a hero (as opposed to a villain like Malcolm) as "the fallen", right? And MG says they began production of 3x20 today.

FYI, Arrow also has an official Instagram account... https://www.facebook.com/CWArrow
