Greg Berlanti's new series, Riverdale, is looking more and more like a cross between Dawson's Creek and Veronica Mars - but not in a good way... New ‘Riverdale’ promo highlights start of Betty-Veronica rivalry Michael Logarta December 19, 2016 4:03pm http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/592990/lifestyle/artandculture/new-riverdale-promo-highlights-start-of-betty-veronica-rivalry

I'll post an updated summary closer to the airdate (this preliminary summary does not include the reddit spoilers because they were just posted here and it seemed unnecessary, they'll be included in the updated summary)... PRELIMINARY SUMMARY OF 510 SPOILERS: S5, Episode 10: Who Are You? -- Production code: 510. Shoot Dates: Oct. 21-Nov. 1, 2016. Director: Gregory Smith. Writers: Ben Sokolowski & Brian Ford Sullivan. Airdate: January 25, 2016. (MG tweet, page 47 of Spoilers thread, and Dec. 7, 2016 SA facebook video post, page 50 of Spoilers thread) -- The CW app has a 510 preview clip of Oliver talking to Diggle in jail and telling him about Laurel just popping up in the Arrow Bunker and about the team trying to track down Prometheus' mother. (Dec. 8, 2016 AmellDaily tweet, page 1250 of Spoiler Discussion thread) -- 510 sneak peek video posted. (Dec. 11, 2016 SpoilerTV article, page 50 of Spoilers thread) -- MG: “We’re going to pick up a scene for episode 510, not because the scene didn’t turn out well, but because there was just one moment that wasn’t landing the way it needed to land to pay off another moment. Even in season 5, we have no problems with doing reshoots, or pickups, or anything we need to do to make each episode as successful as it can possibly be.” (Nov. 29, 2016 Entertainment Weekly article, page 49 of Spoilers thread) -- On what ways we might see KC appear in Arrow outside of just flashbacks, WM: "I can tell you that we're really excited about having her back. You will see in the episodes where she appears - Episode 510 definitely, our midseason premiere. Keep your eyes out for that. We're so excited about getting to work with her again and her willingness to come back. It's one of the fun parts of the show. People can leave and get killed and you can still find new and crazy ways for them to come back. I can definitely tell you that there's a way we're going to bring her back and she's going to be alive and well. And Flashpoint might have a little bit to do with that." (Oct. 2, 2016 TV Guide article, page 45 of Spoilers thread) -- On whether Laurel is really alive, SA said we'd have to tune in when Arrow returns in January to find out. SA: "Obviously, people don't just come back from the dead. So, there has to be some sort of vetting process to make sure it actually is Laurel. Because the group has seen some, uh, some peculiar things, but we delve into that when we come back in - in the new year." (Dec. 7, 2016 SA facebook video post, page 50 of Spoilers thread) -- Matt Mitovich: "On a scale of 1 to 10, Laurel is going to be a 9 on the emotional wallop scale. That's what Wendy Mericle told me earlier today. Um, and she said specifically the Laurel storyline - or should we say 'Laurel' (using air quotes) - I dunno, depends on what you believe. (Other person asked, "Who is she?") ... That will be revealed. And, but, uh, that storyline as a whole will do a - will have an emotional resonance as a whole for not just Oliver, but Oliver and Felicity. Felicity, actually, is going to be the biggest skeptic about 'Laurel' (using air quotes), um, while Oliver's a little bit more into seeing his old friend again, under whatever circumstances he thinks she came back." (Dec. 12, 2016 TVLine's Ask Ausiello facebook video, page 50 of Spoilers thread and page 1261 of Spoiler Discussion thread) -- When Laurel returns in 510, EK: "Curtis definitely will interact with her. I can’t really give up too much as far as what that interaction will be… We’ll see how it plays out." (Nov. 22, 2016 We Got This Covered article, page 49 of Spoilers thread) -- Talia al Ghul will debut in 510. Lexa Doig has been cast in the recurring role of Talia, another daughter of Ra’s al Ghul and half-sister of Nyssa. Described as worldly and cultured, Talia is “an elite warrior who doesn’t pick sides but rather creates her own.” (Nov. 2, 2016 TVLine article in MichaelAusiello tweet, page 48 of Spoilers thread) -- SA: "Tina is a character that the team tracks down, who is operating in another city. And, uh, that happens once we're back from our break, sort of, 510, 511 time. And, um, I think she could be a really - I think she could be a really cool character. Um, you know, and as for Talia, Talia is, um - we learn about her before we meet her. And she is, um, I think, our gateway to really accelerating the flashback storyline and buttoning up that list I spoke of." (Nov. 3, 2016 Seat42F video of SA interview, page 48 of Spoilers thread) -- Brian Ford Sullivan tweeted: "Of course I care! Sincerely hope you stick with us. Lots of cool Felicity stuff coming. (Hint: my next episode, amongst others.)" (Nov. 11, 2016 briforsul tweet, page 1213 of Spoiler Discussion thread) -- Brian Ford Sullivan tweeted: "Malone's death uncorks what Felicity bottled up (re: Havenrock). Events in 510-512 force her to re-examine her life (or lack of) as of late." This was in reply to fan who asked what they introduced in 502 that's still paying dividends in 512 for Felicity. (Dec. 12, 2016 briforsul tweet, page 50 of Spoilers thread) -- On Oct. 17, 2016, SA said: "Right now we are still filming 509, although I have filmed some stuff for 510."

(SA tweet, page 47 of Spoilers thread) -- On Oct. 23, 2016, MMcL tweeted: "With my girl Tally, Artemis' double, and our @JamesBamford. Bambam, this show, Artemis and my life are all better for knowing you."

And in response to fan who asked if he was going to let EBR do a stunt for once, JBam tweeted: "She's standing right in front of me....would you like me to pass on a message from you?" He also tweeted a pic of himself with EBR. And in response to fan who asked for three words to describe EBR's fights/stunts this season, JBam tweeted: "@EmilyBett Hmmmm....... Wicked Right Hook." In response to fan who asked if EBR will do stunts this season, JBam tweeted: "Yuppers." In response to fan who asked if she has a badass right hook, JBam tweeted: "Most def.." (JBam tweets, page 47 of Spoilers thread) -- On Oct. 30, 2016, Brian Ford Sullivan tweeted: "Off to Vancouver to witness the wonderful insanity that is #Arrow 510!" (briforsul tweet, page 1198 of Spoiler Discussion thread) -- On Oct. 31, 2016, EBR posted b-t-s pic of Prometheus inside some abandoned warehouse. (EBR instagram post, page 47 of Spoilers thread) -- On Nov. 1, 2016, papp tweeted: "#Arrow started the day shooting interior scenes in North Vancouver today with #Olicity @WhatsFilming" and "#Olicity was searching for a new #blackcanary today onset of #arrow ... What does that mean exactly lol ?? More questions than answers lol" and "#Arrow wrapped shooting with exteriors at Vancouver dry dock with #Olicity and #laurel , ok seriously wtf does this mean ??!!" and "A full day of shooting #Arrow with #Olicity and #Laurel ... A mix of interior and exterior shooting , and no I do not have pics or graphs."

That's all I'll say on the topic for now (partly because that's all I know too) #BlackCanary #Arrow."

Maybe it's the limitations of 3D animation, but I was looking at the poster for MG's new series Troll Hunters and thinking 'now why do these characters and their slightly smirky facial expressions look so familiar?' Then it hit me...

Further clarification from the reddit poster (this would fit with the ending scene involving either an escaped BS or a metahuman Tina)...

Original poster (Yonkou Productions) answered some questions in the comments section following its posted summary in that reddit thread...

If you click on the above quoted summary, it'll take you to the reddit page where it was originally posted.

Top 10 DC Moments of 2016 Published on Dec 17, 2016, by DC Entertainment 10 - Justice League vs. Suicide Squad 9 - Ben Affleck's Batman 8 - DC's Young Animal Launch 7 - Classic Superman Returns 6 - Young Justice Season 3 Announcement 5 - Suicide Squad 4 - DC Super Hero Girls 3 - Wonder Woman Comic-Con Trailer 2 - Four-Part CW Crossover 1 - Rebirth

I think that Berlanti's DC TV shows all have multiple showrunners. LoT has MG and PK. Arrow has MG and WM. Flash has AK and the Helbings.

I just want to point out that the show left a loophole in terms of who is the love of Oliver's life. Per current show canon, Laurel is not the love of Oliver's life, but it's never been said outright that Felicity is the love of Oliver's life... Oliver: “You kept this? (Holding up old photo of Laurel that he had on the island) Laurel: “Yeah. Just a little reminder of when things were simpler. For us - the way we used to be. I'm really glad that you found Felicity, and I hope you find your way back to her. And Ollie, I know that I am not the love of your life… but you will always be the love of mine.” It's written so that they could go either way with Felicity.

A fan did these amazing side-by-side gifs to show the parallels between Oliver's real life with Felicity last season and the alien hallucination of Oliver's 'perfect' life with Laurel (sample posted below) - I had forgotten that, when he was with Felicity, Oliver told Barry that he had everything he ever wanted... http://lyricalarrow.tumblr.com/post/154601293916/parallels-part-two

I still like Oliver overall. I find that the things he does that really anger me are, imo, very out of character for where he's supposed to be in his character evolution - like last season's deceiving Felicity about the BMD and this season's opening up to a reporter. I've read some reviews which love that Oliver has gone back to being the S1 killer. Putting aside the inaccuracy of that statement, Oliver is not supposed to regress to his S1 self. He's supposed to progress toward a more balanced and mentally healthy state, as he recovers from what he suffered during those 5 years away and figures out who he is now. As others have said and I agree, it was Diggle and Felicity who made Oliver likeable in S1. Even four years later, I find that it is still Diggle and Felicity - and now also Thea - who make Oliver likeable.
