I thought i read somewhere that Gail said she doesn't watch Arrow.

 

She doesn't. And if I were someone who loved Dinah the way she does, I wouldn't watch it either. 

 

She does occasionally passive-aggressively tweet about how ridiculously easy it is to write for her character that she doesn't understand how people get it wrong - like when BC trended the day the photo of Katie in her costume was released.

So basically it takes 7 - 8 weeks to do an episode?  3 - 4 to write, two to prep, and another two to shoot.

They're shooting 3x16 now, so they would be prepping 3x17 and writing 3x18 and 3x19.  Their season is almost done.

 

I'm not sure, let's see using 314 as the basis since there's no holiday

 

https://twitter.com/mguggenheim/status/542739826068291584/photo/1

 

314 started shooing on 12/10-12/19

314 started prepping on 12/1-12/9

Script takes 3-4 weeks to deliver and is usually delivered on first day of prep.  So let's say 11/3 or 11/10 start for writing 314.

 

That looks like 6-7 weeks total depending depending on the script.

 

From MG's comments about

mama smoak's return he said that the script hadn't been written yet but if all goes well we should get more answers on Felicity's dad in 318

 

So 16 starts filming today, 17 is begin prepped, 18 is being written and if they stick to Smallville's format 19 is being broke.

 

Basically anything 19-23 can have major/minor changes made at this point but 16-18 would only allow for some minor changes (scenes getting cut, dialogue re-writes etc).

@Morrigan2575 What does it mean when an episode is "being broke."

The way I understood it was what happens in Act 1, Act 2, etc.  I'll look for more details because it's been awhile but that's the way I think BQM explained it waaaaaayyyy back in the day.

Breaking an episode is the term for coming up with an outline for the episode. Sometimes it's scene by scene, act by act, sometimes it's just the story beats and plot twists they need to reach, it depends on the show. On Arrow, we know the full writers room breaks the episode together into that outline, and then the assigned writer for that episode will actively write it, adding dialog and minor beats to reach the outlined ones. Guggenheim mentioned it on Tumblr recently, even.

A girl got the script for 3x01, not sure how she got it, but she posted bits on twitter, the first thing she posted was that the kiss in 3x01 was supposed to a real love kiss.

MG said that the scene in which 

we find out about Felicity's father

hadn't been written yet; he didn't say that it was in episode 3x18.  It could be something nearer the finale to set up the storyline for next season.

I think she won one of the scripts that SA auctioned off on eBay for charity, and there was an issue with the shipping (I think it might've somehow gotten lost on its way to her), so Stephen sent her the script for 3x01 as a replacement. Although I thought she'd said several times that the material wasn't hers to release since it's property of Warner Brothers, so she wasn't going to do it. Hopefully this doesn't discourage SA from auctioning off other scripts in the future.

oh ok so it's from the same person that one the SA signed script in auction.

 

ETA: So it could be either the girl that one the signed SA script (that's the one that posted the True Love Kiss) or someone else who won different version of the script from MG.

Was told that Marc was giving out original scripts through DMs on Twitter. SA was auctioning S2 scripts.

 

Right, but like I wrote, I'm pretty sure the script she won was lost in the mail (or something happened with the shipping) and he sent her the script to 3x01 as a replacement. I'm like, 99% sure I'm not making up that story - I remember seeing her tweeting him thanks. There was a big to-do when she posted that the kiss was described as a "true love" kiss, and she wound up posting a pic of it with a bunch of other stuff blacked out because people on Tumblr were calling her a liar. 

 

Assuming the same person posted this screenshot, of course.

I remember MG asking for people's email address when they asked for the page of the goodbye scene from 309. If he's sending entire scripts now, I might consider getting a twitter account!

That is the story from the girl who posted the True Love information, she won the script in the auction, it was lost in the mail and SA sent her another one which was signed by most of the cast.  I saw the cover page online

I'm so glad they cut that. It would've mad Oliver look like a huge (HUGER) asshole for that "trick," and my anger would've been mighty. That said, the whispering? Gooooood. The I love you? Gooooood. The kiss? GOOOOOOOOOOOD

It was better to cut it. If we had seen her hand clench his arm and then she found out it was a fake, I would have been furious for her.

Seriously. I thought it was a shitty thing to do sans kiss. With a kiss? BURN IT ALL DOWN.

Why does her arm go back at the end? Is that when he handed her the syringe?

So glad they cut it considering the circumstances under which it was done, but holy mother of amazing chemistry. That is a kiss.

 

I think so, yeah. He moves a little when handing it to her and she moves with him.

I love the fact that it is on continuos loop...That's why I've already watched it multiple times.

 

Glad it was cut, because it's dark and the way that Felicity's hand changes from clenching Oliver to drawing back suggests that she thought is was real and realised it wasn't    as he handed her a syringe.

 

Shitty thing to do yes...but on the bright side a new kiss for fanvidders.

Upon multiple rewatches, I like the I love you they kept. This one seems fake and almost a little...slick is probably the best word for it.

 

I like the little smile he makes before he says "I love you" in the cannon version. I need tumblr to explode and I need a side by side comparison...for science.

He puts the syringe into her left hand,which makes sense since it would have been shielded by their bodies from the camera.  Presumably that's when her right arm moves back, when she realizes it's just for show.

 

Poor Felicity.  all her dreams happening, and then to realize it's all a fake.  And then he does it again in The Calm.  At this point, I'm wondering why she should give him  a chance at all.

Thank you @Soulfire.

 

I have a new theory, that makes Oliver less douchey. 

 

They both know it was meant to be a ruse, but get a little swept up in the truth behind the "lie", hand clench. Then reality sets in.

 

So the idiotic grinning on the beach, was bout how much they enjoyed the kiss...and "sold" the ruse
