What bugs me is the implication that if you are not patient, you're watching it wrong. Naw, son. You don't get to tell me how I watch TV. I'm an actual pro at doing it.

Oh wow, Emily. I'm impressed because this is really brave and I'm really proud that she said this in such an eloquent way.

Ha. Reading those stage directions, and realizing how EBR went the opposite way [curious and skeptic rather than faint by hot guy] makes me understand 100% how fucking lost they were at that time, and

Marc should consider that the person carrying the child for nine months and pushing him or her out of her body might want a say in the name, LOL. It was the same with Dig's child..did Lyla even meet Sara?

forget Lyla, why Diggle would even want to name his child after a chick he had no connection to made no sense.

Eh, I could see Moira for a child,  or at least the ancestral Dearden for a middle name.   Moira might have been shady as fuck but she threw herself on a sword to save her children. 

But the Sara thing I can totally get.   My partner is ex Air Force and its actually pretty common for soldiers to name their children after fallen soldiers that they fought alongside.   They tend to do that or really quirky names that you don't see a lot.

Nonspoilery posts at https://marcguggenheim.tumblr.com/ on May 10...

fight--for--now asked:
It was Felicity Smoak appreciation week on Tumblr last week and the amount of great stuff that's come out of that puts a on on my face. Thank you for creating a character (along with the amazing Emily Bert Rickards) that's inspired so many young girls and women to go into STEM or to fight through challenges and be a positive influence. She's an amazing role model.
Thank you for watching.  Without you guys, there would be no show and, therefore, no Felicity.

forgetabouttheory asked:
Do you think Felicity Smoak is age appropriate to have kids now
Biologically or…?

olicity2fs-4fr asked:
Also, I was gonna go with Robert or Tommy too as for the names. So you rock again!
I’ll take it!

olicity2fs-4fr asked:
In 4x05 when Constantine said to Oliver "...Places of Nexus, draw bad people to them. This island is such place. It's no accident that you're here. " Did it have a deeper meaning or just Oliver going down the dark path?
It was my way of explaining how many bad guys tend to show up on what’s supposed to be a “deserted island.”

mailboi asked:
How can Chase's real last name be Morrison if his father is Clayborne and his mother is Westfield
Mother’s real name is Morrison, but she changed it when she left Star City. This has been established on the show.

hotsforlaurel asked:
the transitions between flashbacks and present and back again are phenomenal. absolute props to the directors and cameramen.
It’s a huge part of our process.  In the case of tonight’s episode (521), however, I have to give a shoutout to our VFX house, Zoic, who really made them sing!

ibelievenu asked:
Marc, that was the best episode of the season. We had Queen siblings, OTA, Olicity, with the lance and Rene B storyline. All terrific. Can't wait for the last two episode. Thanks. Wonderful stories are why I am here. #imwitharrow.
Thanks for watching!

I doubt think the script would reveal anything but I am curious as to what the instructions were for season 2 when Dig and Felicity went to find Oliver to give him a pep talk.

He kept staring at Felicity like he was going to snog her any minute for the entire scene. Like he was thinking about it while she was talking to him. Nothing happened but that's one of my "up there" Olicity scenes. 

That's one of my all-time favorite scenes , because I distinctly remember being totally sucked into thinking he was going to kiss her, and then when he walked away I convinced myself I had imagined it. Then 2x23 happened. :-)

I 100% agree with you that 508 just sounded awful from the getgo BUT I think they could have done a full on, goatee, chilli, fishnets, comic book translation for the 100th. That could have been silly and fun to see the literal comic book versions for just one episode. 

 

On 5/10/2017 at 1:26 PM, statsgirl said:

And the acting failed to sell anything deeper than two people together for the sex.

Now I'm imagining a "What If" scenario that would have had complete comic book style, with Oliver and Laurel both unashamedly just friends with benefits -- not even an alternate reality, but a truly "here's a completely different show for one episode" look and feel. As long as there was no pining or actual relationship from either of them, I might have actually enjoyed that -- mainly because it would be clear that it had no bearing on the actual show. So... probably not a great 100th episode idea, but I still would have been more interested in that than the one we got. (Also would have been a fun excuse to have all those people in masks that will never be in masks on the actual show.)

And really, what was the point of that ad-libbed ILY from DreamLaurel? Who thought that was necessary?

You know who. ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hoping you'll clarify something for me. The EMP, was that the flash drive or was there something else? I keep hoping that Helix didn't completely sell Felicity out.

It was something else.  But that’s an interesting read.  Not our intention, but interesting.

Can you give praise to the person dressing Emily this year. She looks amazing; someone has impeccable taste and knows exactly what suits her. Even her "mission" outfit in 5x19 was gorgeous.

Maya Mani is and has been our awesome and talented costume designer for the past five seasons.

Not our intention?  Holy Crap that seemed the most direct connection.

"That's an interesting read." Felicity inserted the USB and a few seconds later - while the program on the USB which was created by a shady unknown started working - her computers went kaboom. Interesting? How...how do you not think that's the main connection people would make? Yikes. That this show isn't more of a mess with this dude and Miracle Wendy in charge is pretty impressive, haha.

That's funny, because I actually never even thought it could have been Helix's doing until I came on the board to read the commentary. 

Granted, now I'm worried what that says about me, haha.

You're not alone. There was a debate here about it being Chase vs Helix. I think it would have helped their cause if the previous Felicity/Alena scene didn't feel so shady. I actually thought Helix was going to betray Felicity there. Maybe that impression carried forward?

I'm glad it wasn't Helix but, I really did think they were telling us the EMP came from the USB and that the Chase tracking program was just tracking the USB in order to send the pulse.

It just seems to me that there are two pretty obvious takes - one is that it was the doing of the Big Bad that the program actually traced, and the other is that the chain of events leading up to the explosion were the cause. I think it's kind of weird that he finds the second one interesting is all, haha

I think maybe the shot of the USB was misleading. As for why he thinks this reading is interesting, probably it's because he's "too close". I mean, he knows what the chain of events is, and the expected outcome. Probably any other option  didn't even occur to him, haha.

My impression of his use of "interesting" was that he was now thinking, "hey, that would have been a good angle."

ninjahackergoddesssmoak asked:
Wendey has been on Twitter saying the nicest things about Olicity and SA/EBR! It's such a joy to see her be excited about the same things fans are excited about. How much directorial control did she have over the 5x20 Olicity flashback sex scene we all loved?
Total directorial control. She was the director. :)

Yeah.   I think they would have rejected it though to go all gung ho with Chase unless Cayden James/Helix is going to be a villain next season.

I wonder how often, if ever, they say "that sounded better in my head."

What about it is off putting? 

I just find the guy soliciting EBR/Felicity fans to his site off putting. 

Hey I'm a total nobody with semi-famous friends doing me favors so quick all you EBR fans become a member/supporter of my chabbel/twitter/blog etc blah blah blah.

I mean,  I make money by working.   I don't make money by asking strangers for money online because I'm friends with a popular actress who has legions of fans trying to support her.

Seems like he funds his cover videos through his Patreon page - all of them, not just this one - (lots of YouTubers do this) - and it also seems like (based on his Patreon post) that this particular video was supposed to be locked to only his patrons until Wednesday, but it wasn't. So...if it had been then, they'd only need to become a patron to see it early, since seeing his videos early - not just this one - is a patron perk. As it worked out, no one had to pay anything at all to see it.

I don't get the limited release thing. Did he put it on Youtube or did one of the subscribers rip it and put it up?

I'm not entirely sure how Patreon works on the user side, but it seems to be linked to his YouTube through his Patreon post, but it doesn't show up on his YouTube page. So there must be some kind of timer/unlock feature for stuff like this. So, I think people are just linking to the YouTube on his Patreon page, which is supposed to be locked to just his patrons until Wednesday.

The thing that confuses me is that I'm definitely not a memeber but the Youtube video @Soulfire posted plays just fine for me.

Yeah, because his post is unlocked - not sure why. You can go on his Patreon page and view it there, but you shouldn't be able to. He wrote in his post (the unlocked one) to his patrons that they were getting a first look at it and that it would be available to everyone else on Wednesday. But he for whatever reason never locked that post so that just his patrons could see it - as a result everyone (even non-patrons) can.

That's the new thing. I listen to podcasts recapping Buffy and Housewives, they do the same thing if you want exclusive content. I'm sure EBR kmows about it and is fine with it.
