I'm pretty zen about whatever drama that comes since I feel sure it won't be drama between O/F. They basically want to do a Civil War storyline between the noobs and OTA, who seem on the same page (spying wise) and not (yet) interpersonal drama between O/F or OTA. Maybe we're meant to side with Team B, in which case they vastly underestimate how much I care, even if Rene betrays them to get his daughter back and Felicity is wrongy wrong wrong in an argument with Curtis. He could always stop being a vigilante and make sure he has a safe home and go to court dates. Maybe the "twist" is that Arrow now has it's on LOD ala LOT. There might be an Olicity twist but I think they'll save any drama or "she might be dying!" for 6B proper. Quentin dying at the hands of BS I can see happening but again, not until later in the season. Then again maybe they are holding back something terrible but I think they mainly think Civil War was a really cool movie. 1 Link to comment

BunsenBurner December 3, 2017 Share December 3, 2017 Since Oliver and Felicity got married outside Star City he violated the terms of his bail. So... The real reason Oliver and Felicity are having this reception and maybe a fake wedding behind closed doors is so that Felicity won’t lose the bail money. $$$ Right? Link to comment

We don’t know if the terms of his bail preclude him from attending an out of town wedding, and, if they do, he could have gotten special permission. I doubt he would have been a groomsman in an out of town wedding if it would get him in legal trouble. His picture would have ended up on at least a few people’s social media if the wedding hadn’t been interrupted by Nazis. I think the real reason they’re having this reception and possibly real ceremony is because they didn’t have a valid marriage license in Central City and they wanted a party with cake and fancy clothes.

tv echo December 3, 2017 Share December 3, 2017 (edited) From Men of Arrow panel at HVFF-San Jose yesterday (video is posted on page 651 of Social Media thread)... -- Male fan (sounded like kid or teen) asked Rick how he would describe Wild Dog's relationship with Felicity as of this moment in the show. RG: "I think, uh, his relationship with Felicity is, uh, not a great - it's gotten strained a little bit. I think that - (Manu jokingly interjected, "That's what she said.") - I left myself open for that one. Um, he doesn't exactly get along with, uh - he doesn't hate her, he doesn't dislike her. I mean, I think he just, uh, looks at her as someone who, you know, uh, who believes everything that Oliver feels is right in terms of how he handles the team and, um, she echoes those sentiments. And I think that frustrates Wild Dog in some ways because I think that Wild Dog has his own sensibility and idea of how things should be run for the team. And, uh, I mean that strictly in terms of when Wild Dog's the field and, um, some of the choices that he has to make in the field. And I think, when he gets back to the bunker and there's these conversations happening, there's a frustration that she echoes from Oliver that kinda rubs off - rubs, you know, Wild Dog the wrong way. And I think a little frustration is there. But, needless to say, he does respect her and what she brings to the table." -- Panel then responded to fan question of who they would want to be if they could be any character on any show. MB joking said Wild Dog. RG said he wanted to be a character on M*A*S*H or The Love Boat. EK said Kramer on Seinfeld. RG then said: "Okay, I think I can say this... We shot an episode that's coming up soon, and I literally told Echo - I said, 'I feel like you're Kramer walking into my place.' It was an amazing moment. It felt like a sit-com."

Trisha December 4, 2017 Share December 4, 2017 That was a surprisingly spoiler-free panel (where were the OTA and Olicity questions?) but one thing that stuck out was when DR was asked how long Diggle wanted to be the GA and he answered "That whole Dominators thing, we're going to play that out throughout the season. I don't know if he wants the mantle as much as feels as if he...the mission has now become just as much a part of him as it is Oliver. And I think that's where his trajectory is. I don't think he wants necessarily to wear the hood as much as it is he can lead the team. And he can help the city and I think he realizes that through the crusade that Oliver began. So I think that's more of the adjustment that I think we're going to make and you'll see that play out. " I wonder if that means they're going to walk back this idea that the Dominators showed them all their "perfect life"? Fingers crossed! 7 Link to comment

The thing is he's been with the team a year and pushed back against Oliver in a fairly obnoxious manner for most of that time, so this is nothing new and he's not a very good vigilante on his own. I know Digg and Felicity pushed back almost immediately after joining but the team was much smaller and Oliver was obsessively focused on the list to the exclusion of anything else. If he wants to leave he can, it doesn't mean he has to betray them, there were other ways to get his daughter back that he flaked on. So WD will bug in this ep I think. And to say Felicity never disagrees with Oliver is absolute bunk considering the moaning from the Comics! fans that she's always bitching and yelling at Oliver, including being very hesitant to marry him. 3 Link to comment

While I don’t blame Rene here, neither can I see how he can be accepted back into the fold. This isn’t the first time he’s sold out the team either, he did it last season when Church tortured him. Now, I actually thought that humanized him, but this is a pattern now. I’m not wishing him ill, but I do think he’s a liability to the team and should not be trusted. 7 Link to comment

Giving in under Church’s torture and selling out Oliver to keep his daughter are, by themselves, understandable if not commendable.

tv echo December 5, 2017 Share December 5, 2017 (edited) From "Women of Arrow" panel at HVFF-San Jose on Sunday (video posted on page 652 of Social Media thread)... -- JH: "Vigilante coming back threw a big wrench into Dinah's life. And, um, she needs to figure out to deal with it and, um, how she's going to tell the team and, um, it's going to grow into something that, um - that's going to be difficult for her to deal with... It's going to be a big deal for Dinah that he's back." -- JH: "But I also just shot a fight scene that I think is going to become one of my favorites. It was one of my favorites to shoot at least. And that's coming up in 512. You guys can look forward to. Pretty, pretty dope... I'm sorry, sorry. 612. Thank you." -- On 2 truths and 1 lie about an upcoming episode, WH: "I'm awake. I'm out of the hospital gown. But I'm still inside the hospital." -- When a fan asked how their characters are going to feel about missing the double wedding of Olicity and WestAllen, another fan in the audience made a vomiting sound. WH noticed, laughed, and said, "Did someone make a throw-up sound? For real? That was awesome. I'm sorry. I think it was on both. I think it was after both. Who was it? Raise your hand, cause that was awesome. You're dope." Then the mod repeated the question of how the characters will feel in the next episode about the wedding taking place without them. WH snarked: "Like really? Seriously? It's been this many years, guys. Wow. Wow. I see how it is. Shade. Shade." KL joked: "I think Nyssa might have something to say to her husband about it." WH added; "I get I was asleep, guys. I get I was asleep. But still, you could've wheeled me there. Shade... (Someone said, "You were technically awake when they got married.") ... I know. Shade."

I'm just not necessarily as annoyed as I could be because I can guess where her anger is really directed, and it's not Stephen or Emily. I mean, I've laughed at David shitting on KC, and Stephen's inability to lie about how much he hates Laurel/Oliver as a couple, and I can't recall many other times Willa has expressed negativity toward Olicity as a couple. I also just watched the individual clip, and she sounded annoyed, but more at the writers and the showrunners. She also seemed to be half joking with the Shade comment. 1 Link to comment
