Ugh - Tinah is not the first person to call Oliver out! Oliver has been called out by Diggle, Felicity, Quentin, Laurel, etc.... ‘Arrow’ Recap: “Bratva” – To Russia with Love BY ALLISON KEENE FEBRUARY 8, 2017 http://collider.com/arrow-recap-bratva/

On Arrow, you can take Oliver out of the Russian mob, but you can’t take the Russian mob out of Oliver By Alasdair Wilkins Feb 9, 2017 2:35 AM http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/arrow-you-can-take-oliver-out-russian-mob-you-cant-250011

That's lower than last week in terms of total viewers.

I seem to recall a KC interview once (although I can't find it now) where she said something about how SA was almost at producer level, in terms of his input on the show.

From CBR interview with DR (posted in Spoilers thread) - sounds like a hint about Adrian Chase's story...

How to Destroy a Popular Ship in 3 Easy Steps: Develop the relationship between the hero and another character slowly over the course of four years, evolving from strangers to engaged couple. Break up the couple in the most contrived, non-organic, stupid way possible, while simultaneously making the hero look like a giant asshole. Write the next season as if their relationship never changed/happened during the previous four seasons.

Today is the last scheduled shooting date for 517 (Kapot).

I don't believe that Oliver told Tinah about Prometheus in 511 (there's no mention of him in their on-screen dialogue). However, they've had an entire week to talk and become BFFs. I'm sure he's introduced her to the Arrow Bunker, exposed the real identities of all his teammates, told her all their secrets and problems, and brought her up to date on the past four years' worth of news. Someone upthread asked about WM's "all in" quote...

I thought this was an interesting article - I'm not going to quote or comment because it touches on politics, but I'm just posting it here for your interest (also includes a MG quote)... Less Politics, More Superhero Stories for Marvel Comics in 2017 By Ian Miles Cheong 8:49 am, February 7, 2017 https://heatst.com/culture-wars/less-politics-more-superhero-stories-for-marvel-comics-in-2017/

Can't wait to see the Season 6 poster! (sarcasm)

Only if you're prepared for SA to say, "You can't always get what you want," and then have the audience laugh at you.

Back in October, @SmoaknArrow wrote this great post, "Does Arrow Want Me to Watch?"... http://forums.previously.tv/topic/7318-target-practice-poisoned-arrow-the-bitterness-thread/?page=89#comment-2668096 With every batch of new spoilers that come out, I become more convinced that the answer - sadly - is "No" for Felicity/Olicity/OTA fans like me. Perhaps an example of the disheartening nature of this season - I posted this morning in the Golden Arrow thread that Eonline is taking nominations for "TV's Top Couple 2017". Based on their rules, Olicity is still eligible. The nomination deadline is 5pm today, but I have yet to see any mention of it in the few Olicity fan twitter accounts that I've checked.

Well, 515 does have this spoiler...

Oh no - the "crossed arms" stance is spreading... Iron Fist - Promo, Promotional and Cast Photos + Key Art *Updated 7th February* Posted by SpoilerTV at February 07, 2017 http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/12/iron-fist-first-look-promotional-photos.html

That last pic of Tinah and Oliver reminded me a little of Aeryn and Crichton on Farscape, in terms of similar facial/body types. The HUGE difference, of course, is that Crichton and Aeryn had tons of on-screen chemistry, which I don't see with Oliver and Tinah.
