Social Media and Behind the Scenes: AKA Everything Else Not "News and Media"

[EmeraldArcher]

I just love the fact that they had a photoshoot specifically for pictures of their time away so they could put them in photo frames for their house or whatever. Normally you can't see details like that up close on a set/in a scene. 

 

Yes!  This is so much better than the wedding picture of Oliver and Diggle displayed in Diggle's home--it was so easy to see that it was just a screen shot from the wedding scene.

 

I can't wait to see more photos, but I don't want them to be spoiled before 4x1!  This one should tide us over, and then they can post them all after the episode airs.

[AyChihuahua]

Just remember, the last time a happy picture in a frame was panned over on this show was when Oliver was faking being evil and broke his team's hearts, and they showed the happy brother wedding pic.

[wonderwall]

I have a lot of issues with that photo:

 

1. Is Felicity even an outdoorsy person?
2. How does she look so flawless after a hike?
3. Why is she wearing that on a hike?
4. Why don't I care one bit and completely love the photo anyways? 

 

So many questions...

Neh. Season 4 for me is about forgetting Season 3 ever happened. 

[dtissagirl]

They actually spent the entire vacation in bed. Then they went into a studio with a bunch of different clothes and props, took a bunch of pictures behind a green screen and then Felicity photoshopped the pics, because Mama Smoak and Dig asked for them, and the pics they took in bed are ~private.

[apinknightmare]

Could be that they're staying in a cabin and Oliver was the one hiking and he was just getting ready to go out on the trail with his lil' poles.

1. I think she'd do anything on vacation.

2. She's flawless always. 

3. My guess is she's wearing shorts and proper shoes. It looks just like a flow-y kind of top to me.

4. Because it's Olicity and they're beautiful together and we're actually getting framed photos made especially for their house, or maybe even Felicity's desk. Haha.

That is by far the most believable scenario. They just drove the Porsche to a Best Western right outside Starling and never left their room.

[dtissagirl]

No frizzy hair + perfect makeup after a hike: I think we finally figured out what kind of magic and mysticism is gonna be going on around season four.

 

[wonderwall]

@dancingnancy please never stop your comments are hilarious!

 

@AyChihuahua, a Best Western?!? DON'T SULLY THE QUEEN NAME :p

[Chaser]

Maybe they are in a secluded cabin at the top of the mountain and this picture was taken before they went on their hike. Would explain why they look perfect.

[NumberCruncher]

All I know about that photo is that it made me ridiculously happy that they look so ridiculously happy.

[AyChihuahua]

@dancingnancy please never stop your comments are hilarious!

LBR, it could be a Motel 6 and they'd be happy. All they need is a bed and some privacy.

[Sakura12]

The privacy part is key. No one would think to look for them there. 

 

With the pic, I think it's a before the hike pic. Although that outfit Felicity is wearing is not something you'd want to wear on a hike. So I'm going to assume that Oliver went on the hike, came back, took the pic with her, then they went to have a picnic at their cabin in the mountains.

For reals; I can't remember the last time I was so verklempt about a pair of fictional characters

[foreverevolving]

 

 

@AyChihuahua, a Best Western?!? DON'T SULLY THE QUEEN NAME :p

My thought exactly..

[calliope1975]

I'm thinking I'm gonna need that scarf, wrap, whatever that is Felicity's wearing in that pic. The colors are calling to me. If anyone finds a link, please share. Thank you kindly. 

 

Also, that pic is making me way too excited for S4. Must rein in expectations.

Y'all... Stephen is a fangirl at heart

Oliver and Felicity look so stinkin' happy in that photo. Hopefully they'll handle the relationship better than they did in season three. I have no qualms about them going through ups and downs but please let have more agreements than disagreements next season.

I want it, too! Also, the colors kinda match Oliver's backpack and shirt, LOL!

Does anyone know how many likes the fight club promo had? Because I'd like to compare it to the 18k+ likes the Olicity picture has... You know, for science .

hahaha fire away ... it is so much fun seeing him spiral and then the whole twitterverse explode.

 

Everyone - including me - is speculating what kind of sexy times scenes they are shooting today since his "Monday's sorta sexy" tweet.

 

So far, most votes are in for sexy times in the kitchen

It's a bit of an apples and oranges comparison, because the superhero fight club promo was originally posted to the Arrow FB page, which has 2x as many subscribers as SA. But here are the stats for it: 37k likes, 2.9 million views (posted early April).

 

The Olicity picture has 247k likes, 4k shares. I also wrote down the stats for the new suit picture posted during SDCC: 246k likes, 13.7k shares.

He's definitely throwing a clue at us. He's never been subtle on social media when it comes to the show (or Olicity).

Who is he playing? Someone put him down on IMDB as Hal Jordan.

Aaaand the firplace tweet is gone. Too spoilery?

Edited July 21, 2015 by lemotomato

According to one of his tweets, he's playing "a friend."

 

He removed those tweets. Should I delete the pic?

I don't see why - he wrote that the fireplace was in his trailer, so it doesn't seem spoilery to me?

He tagged it trailer fireplace....I kind of assumed it was a pic from his trailer Edited July 21, 2015 by Morrigan2575

That's pretty swanky for an extra. I didn't even know they got trailers

I don't think he's an extra, but that was a nice fireplace for a trailer. If that's actually where it was.

Didn't they say that Oliver and Felicity

settled in Coast City because Oliver has a friend there? Could be the friend if he's just shooting with those two.

Excited.

I know he's teasing about shippers, but I couldn't make out what he was saying before this part, haha.

 

I think he says something like "do I need an injection?"  And later David holds out his coffee cup to him.  I'm guessing Stephen was pretty tired when they did the interview and his first take in reaction to the "Olicity Ship of the Year" stuff was subdued.  So the outtake was him hamming it up a bit.

 

They better combine those votes. Can anyone see current rankings? I'm not on facebook and it keeps telling me to log in.

 

You can vote twice for Emily, so a simple combining of the numbers won't work.

I'd love if they opened the show with Oliver goofing around with a bunch of kids including lil' Batman.  Bruce Wayne is never going to be in this universe so the little nod would be perfect.
