But I've also seen tweets of hers saying she hates what they did with BC which is not surprising considering she's a BC expert. I need that Oprah gif that says 'So what is the truth?' LOL.

Her one arm way behind her is super high (you can just see it over the top of her head) and her balance looks terrible. KC's stance is always bad. When they let her be in the scene with CL she left her entire body open for an attack. Sara could've destroyed her if she wasn't most likely thinking what she should get for lunch in during that. I think GS wanted more attention, she knew mentioning Arrow would get her that attention. She doesn't think the Black Canary on Arrow is the Black Canary but yet she wants to write a BOP episode? Of which Arrow already had an episode titled that. That shows how much of an Arrow expert she is. If she had watched it she should've said I want to write an actual BOP episode of Arrow.

I don't know what asking Gail Simone to save Laurel Lance will do tbh and the scenes have already been filmed and the show has moved onto episode 20, so I doubt the show will re-write the plot in regards to who dies....

SleepDeprived March 3, 2016 Share March 3, 2016 I am, honestly, contemplating signing up and joining Twitter because I have no idea what the heck is going on. Thank goodness for this thread. At least, I'm able to follow some of what's happening. It's either some people in the writer's room are ridiculously happy about certain events that will be happening on the show or certain people leaving it . Or they've absolutely lost it for some reason or another. Or, maybe, they're just genuinely curious and want to sort of gauge reactions for upcoming events? This is making me so, so curious about the BTS stuff. And it's really instensifying my secret wish that someone releases a tell-all book about Arrow sometime in the future.
