Mary0360 May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 I don't think we are suppose to take the 2046 timeline as canon since didn't they start the episode off with Rip saying this (2046) wasn't a real future? 2 Link to comment

They really arent big on relationships outside of their OTPs so Roy will most likely still be dedicated to Thea. The relationship I'm familiar with for Roy and Chesire didn't last and I don't recall them ever being super friendly even when they were together so who knows how they'd want to play it. 6 hours ago, Angel12d said: That "Daniel Porter" sounds like someone who might be involved in Helix Dynamics and can we not with that? Ughhhhhh, I don't want all these new characters. We have enough terrible/useless ones as it is. How about Curtis decides to get in business with him instead leaving Felicity to have to go it alone? So sad, she'll just have to name her company after herself instead. 3 Link to comment
Featherhat May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 Not enthused by so many new recurrings again, with the noobs going nowhere but I guess some of them will be there for specific arcs and then go and they probably want to explore other possibilities for keeping some around for show longevity etc. I'm slightly worried about them doubling up so much on the tech side means for Felicity's storylines, although it could be a Curtis S4 and Alena 5/6 situation rather than sidelining her, or in the case of the teen, being antagonistic "slaying superheroes" (eyeroll). 1 Link to comment

Featherhat May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 Maybe they'll genderbend the name Emiko or even bring in maternal cousin Mia Dearden to rub it in about Thea. Given Robert's philandering this is probably one of these least surprising soapy plots since William. I was actually kind of surprised Isabel never revealed that she'd had Robert's kid and that's why she thought the company should be hers over the affair. Though that kid would only be a few years older than William right now. 1 Link to comment
JJ928 May 28, 2018 Share May 28, 2018 Ok crazy idea... but what if the fighting family isn't actual family but a version of Tommy. I know it's unlikely but Colin posted a cryptic tweet, and it seems his fate was left up in the air on his show. I know that would be something that would have the cast excited for. Link to comment

I thought she was 9 or 10 which means the child would have been born around 2005. Sadly, too young to stage a coup. But not Robert's first infidelity. Link to comment

way2interested June 8, 2018 Share June 8, 2018 (edited) I don't think it's weird. She's said a bunch of times how she doesn't want to know things unless they do happen or she happens to catch a glimpse of the writers' board. No one can force her to be that interested or visit even if fans and even the writers want her to, and she still seems just as excited as SA and DR who do know more of what's going on. Plus she's probably been way more focused on that play for the last few months. Edited June 8, 2018 by way2interested 5 Link to comment

tv echo June 8, 2018 Share June 8, 2018 (edited) From Spotlight Report interview with DR today (in Melbourne, AU)... Quote SR. Season 6 was a massive roller-coaster. (Spoilers ahead) The team got divided, Oliver went to Jail, Diggle is now working at Argus and Quentin Lance died. What can we expect from Season 7? DR. I wish I could tell you (laughs). I saw the script for the first episode of season 7 as is amazing. This season will probably be one of the biggest and most ambitious to date. We now had a show-runner of the series who will be taking the role full time, and her vision for the show is superb, I’m sure she will take it to the next level. Oliver’s time in prison will be hard, and many things will happen while there. Regarding my character, I can only share with you that he is still working at Argus with Lyla, and teaming up with the others once in a while to take down Diaz once for all. But, many things happen, there are some huge twists that nobody saw coming. It’s so good…I’m so sad I cannot tell you more. Edited June 8, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

And really to Mark and Wendy’s credit, and to Beth’s credit, for season six, I think we ended in a way people didn’t think we were going to end it. There was no big bad guy ending finding justice, it’s continuing into season seven, putting Oliver in the prison and all that. I mean, that was a risky for our show. 2 We guessed the whole ending long ago but just hoped that they would realize how CRAPPY of an ending it would be and decide not to do it, both with the GA reveal to the public and keeping Diaz around. We figured it out but also figured out why it was a terrible idea. Wonder when they will. 10 Link to comment

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't really care about seeing Felicity building a company for the company's sake if it doesn't tie into the larger plot. Just like I wouldn't really care about Oliver sitting around being mayor just to give him something to do, because that's boring. I would like to see something like an investor being interested in her company who isn't what she/he seems (not necessarily a villain, just someone duplicitous for personal gain or whatever) that she susses out rather early, and has to figure out how to defeat on her own. Or a villain interested in her tech (but done in a less cheesy way and for a longer period of time than Brie Larvan), or her developing tech for a specific need within the team - I like the implant, but I don't think that's a very interesting long-term story, because there are limited ways to make that tie into a larger storyline (and because they kinda already tried that once with Brie Larvan). I'd like to see her succeeding (with some stumbles), rather than the nonsense they did with Palmer Tech where she wasn't fully committed because of stuff going on beyond her control, and because the CFO had it out for her. I'm not super picky, but I'd like for them to do something they haven't done yet - and I'd rather them not do it at all if it's going to be a half-assed mess. 22 Link to comment

Yeah, it's a tight spot for the writers. If it's too connected to Oliver/the main plot, then it won't seem like it's Felicity's own plot. But if it's not connected to the main plot it might fizzle out (Felicity's s4 plot) or feel very out of place and might even be uninteresting to some (Laurel's s2 plot). Tbh I also want the plot to be basically just how you described it. 6 Link to comment

As we've seen over the course of six seasons, there are so many ways to tie that into villain of the week stories or the season-long arcs. I don't see any way that Helix Dynamics can tie into the plot, unless the new big bad is trying to create an army he/she can control through people's bio-stimulators. 1 Link to comment

Break ins, stolen tech, late nights, rendezvous after dark, clients, employees, investors, products, press and government interaction, being a target other than because she's married to the fricken Green Arrow, using tech to save the day or cause the problem - it feels like there are oodles of ways for her own company to bolster what Felicity personally brings to stories. 4 Link to comment
