Not necessarily the guy barely described Olicity scenes in the crossover and had to watch again to see if there was a wedding reception because he missed it the first time. I'm guessing he'd miss or purposely ignore Olicity dessert. 

Good point but I thought it would at least horrify him and he'd gag about it or something.

If there is dessert I'm wondering where they would have inserted it. 

Still it looks like Oliver uses his superpowers to generate the biggest set of heart eyes ever! I'm excited!

If Stephen wasn't leading the fan on then I personally think it'll be less a full on 3x20/5x20 type sex scene and more a post sex naked morning in bed 4x01 type scene that Stephen probably thinks falls into the 'dessert' category. So it could come at the start of the Ep?

[Chaser]

Dessert is going to be in The Flash episode. Olicity gets a quickie and The Flash gets their first scene.

Not sure if it's happening or not, but if I were to guess, I would guess something at the end, like a montage of what all of the characters are doing or something (ending with the villain team being revealed) and they show a shot of Olicity real quick or something like that.

Isn't the dessert going to be in 609, not the crossover?

[tv echo]

Regarding the updated reddit "spoilers" about the mid-season finale...

See, this is why you keep the team trust circle small, Oliver. 

I also would be happy with the newbies permanently gone, but I'm sure they'll be back. Oliver doesn't have to be outed and pardoned. Rene can always recant his testimony and say that he was blackmailed into "lying" about Oliver being the Green Arrow by the FBI/prosecution threatening his daughter. And Team Arrow can somehow destroy all copies of any video footage of what goes on in the Arrow Bunker after they defeat Team Cayden.

Unclear...

-- Fan report on what SA said: "Me: So is Oliver ever going to get his dessert? I mean we have the 9pm time slot now and it hasn’t been put to much use yet. Stephen: I know. I know. Certainly by the end of the year. Me: End of the year or season? Stephen: Certainly by the end of the year." (Nov. 24, 2017 andyou loveher88 tweet, page 1670 of Spoiler Discussion thread)

Did he mean it was filmed by the end of the year or air on TV till the end of the year?

If Cayden hangs onto that footage and doesn't use it to put the heat on the whole team then he's a terrible villain, LOL.

[thegirlsleuth]

I remember when Malcolm Merlyn put cameras in the bunker in season 3, used it once, and then just dropped the thread. The Arrowcave does need better security.

Quick question:  Does the spoiler person on Reddit have a proven track record for getting spoilers?  I have no reason to doubt him/her since what they say matches up with the videos and photos, but I wasn't sure if they've been reliable in the past.

I'm assuming that it will air by the end of 2017. But here's the tweet:

[tv echo]

I wonder if the Cayden James storyline is a version of something the EPs wanted to do with Noah Kuttler, but there wasn't time and then Tom Amandes wasn't available to shoot more than a guest spot this season. That would've been an interesting dynamic, to have Felicity battling her father all season long.

In any event, it seems a shame to have someone like the Calculator pop up this season and just be a wedding guest. It's a waste not to have at least one scene of Noah helping Felicity battle Cayden James, hacker versus hacker. In fact, in my speculative version, Alena is Cayden's daughter - and we would get a father/daugher versus father/daughter battle.

Edited November 27, 2017 by tv echo

[statsgirl]

Since Malcolm put in a secret camera in s3, and then BS invaded it, and they know she's working with Cayden James, you'd think basic intelligence would have made them doing triple sweeping for cameras and other tech.

Right now, I have a hard time feeling sorry for Rene.  Not only did Oliver and Lance have to keep trying to encourage to Rene to apply to get his kid back, and prop him to keep trying, Oliver gave him a good job at city hall..  He knows Felicity and Curtis have mad tech skills -- why not tell them what Watson has and get help to stop her?

[Belinea]

I just don't care about the newbies. Once again the storyline proves Oliver right that he shouldn't trust people. Also how did BS get into the bunker and why didn't they clean it up after she was there. I really don't like this repetitive idiotic storyline of villains breaking in and nobody caring.

Also, why is Curtis such a weird character.

Tbh I was thrown off with how CJ seems to be connected to both Oliver and Felicity when Oliver already had his direct villain in Anatoly. Like, I guess he wouldn't necessarily be against the person who helped free him from Argus over someone who apparently cost him his relationship with his son even if Oliver and Felicity are together/work together, but I guess they got a good deal with ME to make him the big bad and then had to give him a vendetta against Oliver instead? Unless maybe it's something the team and not just Oliver did to him?

Yeah, I think it's probably Overgirl gushing about her husband. Or at least I hope it is because our Oliver has his faults but he's more than 10 times the man Hitler was.

[Belinea]

So Earth-X Oliver is an even better Nazi than Adolf Hitler,  am I getting that right? What a promising storyline.

Edited November 27, 2017 by Belinea

[Midnight Lullaby]

Yeah, I took it as the Nazis saying Oliver is even more awesome than Hitler ever was because why not. Great line of dialogue writers.

[leopardprint]

Ummm...that dialogue...

so like either Oliver-X is ten times the man as in not as horrible or he is ten times as horrible and in either case, it's a terrible line of dialogue. Why, show, why? 

I'm assuming Kara-X is saying it to Evil Flash or Kara. But again, why?

Something is bugging me about how Curtis supposedly was fixing Diggle. His cure for FS was an implant, she had surgery. He gave Diggle a shot like it was nannites or whatever they called them when FS put them in Ray. So what are they telling us?  Or do I just not get it?

[Guest]

Sounds like Oliver is the new Hitler.

Oh Hello, Face! Meet Palm.

I can't even put into words why it bugs me so much (the Nazi stuff) because I watch movies/shows that deal with the material but I don't trust them to get the tone right. Looking at you gun violence episode.

The reddit spoiler guy mentioned in his spoilers for the Arrow (I think?) episode that there was a new fuhrer (but they didn't know who it was) - I think it might be Oliver based on this dialogue, and it's meant in a ten times as principled/honorable way to the person who's saying it, and time times more awful way to us.

I've had the same issue with articulating why it doesn't bother me in Captain America or Indiana Jones. Maybe because those are set in the 30s/40s and not importing Nazis like they are apparently fantastical creatures that don't get NYT puff pieces.

For me it's because I know they're not good enough writers to handle this the way it deserves to be handled. And I feel like it will be watered down for entertainment reasons when it shouldn't be.

It doesn't help that the Nazis are being played by the faces of our heroes. Big mistake, IMO.

It bugs me for two main reasons: 1- those writers can’t even keep what they write in their own shows straight, imagine tackling topics that aren’t frivolous; 2- I don’t care to see superheroes fight Nazis. This isn’t their story. It’s the story of real people that went through hell and survived. If they wanted to tell a story that really mattered they could have done that, making the EX story about the Jewish, POC and lgbt characters they have but no, it’s important to talk about how the Nazis version of the characters we know are real people with real relationships.

Oh dear. That definitely could be read a number of ways.

Hopefully it means that EX Oliver is comparatively better than Hitler because he's a leader unwilling to do the awful things Hitler did? I dunno..I HOPE it's along those lines. 

[Midnight Lullaby]

I see people on twitter saying “OLICITY WEDDING” is trending but it’s nowhere in the US or WW trends. Where is it trending? Or these people have the tailored trends on?

And it turns out he's better because he's even more willing to do awful things.

However I'm so pumped for Felicity proposing to him in the LoT episode (I hope) that I don't even care any more.

[Guest]

I have to give them some credit. I enjoyed the Olicity scenes so much that they actually managed to make me excited for Felicity's proposal and their wedding tomorrow tbh. And I honestly haven't been excited at all because Nazis. 

[TwistedandBored]

I was wondering why would Felicity be asking Oliver to marry her out of the blue when they were both hesitant based on previous spoilers but now it makes sense. 

[lemotomato]

It also makes more sense why both parties are OK with a double wedding-- once Felicity decides she does want to get married, Oliver isn't going to want to wait, and Barry and Iris have been so supportive they won't mind sharing the impromptu ceremony.

[SmallScreenDiva]

I was really against the whole idea of Felicity proposing but now that Oliver actually did propose and has shown that he really, really, really, wants to marry Felicity, like right now right now, I'm actually pretty psyched about it. I thought they set up the last act with the double wedding pretty well.

LOL! Is that how some are reading that tease?

I think sacrifice means Stein, which makes me angry and sad that a Jewish man dies on a show that included Nazis in it despite being totally unnecessary.
