Spoiler Discussion Thread

[Ariah]

This probably belongs to the bitterness thread, but you're right - all new and returning characters will probably now prop Laurel as BC.

Let's see who we have:

- Nyssa. "I was wrong. You are worthy of Sara's memory."

- Helena. "I was wrong. You have light inside of you!"

- Maseo. "So you are the warrior who kept the city safe while Oliver was gone? You are a woman of great courage and skill."

- Tatsu. "I will gladly tech you how to fight with swords!"

- Malcolm. "Teach me how to fight, o brilliant one! Also, i wish Tommy was alive so that I could give my blessings to your holy union!"

- Ra's. "Come and join my League and be my bride!"

 

Guggenheim, you can use my prompts if you run out of ideas. I know they're right up your alley.

[tv echo]

Lol. As if I needed any more evidence of this show's Waller's incompetence. Seriously, Merlyn, a mass-murdering psychopath that has been gallivanting all over the world, is able to infiltrate A.R.G.U.S.' maximum detention island prison to release Deathstroke, one of their highest security risk inmates, so that Merlyn can use him as a live training dummy for Thea and Oliver, and Waller does nothing about that? Logic fail #547.

Hey, Malcolm was able to infiltrate the LOA's secret sacred dueling site and retrieve the bloody sword and find out what happened to Oliver, even though the LOA has been scouring the globe for him.

 

I like it, especially Laurel going off to Nanda Parbat, but what doesn't make sense to me is why she would.  She's there to "save" Starling City so to go off to Nanda Parbat for months would leave the city defenseless without her.  (I don't think she cares about her day job any more so I'm not going to bring that in to the argument.)

What makes even less sense is why Ra's would allow any LOA member, even Nyssa, to train Laurel.  What does he or the LOA get out of it?  (Malcolm trained Thea but he was rogue.)  If Laurel goes off to Nanda Parbat to train, it'll take place over next summer's hiatus so she'll return fully trained in a few short months.

 

Gotta do a BoP ep again with the real Black Canary! 

The EPs are still planting seeds for a possible future BOP spin-off show.

 

I guess I can believe Thea fighting Slade for a short while - she did nothing but train with Malcolm during last summer's hiatus.  It's not like she had to get a job since she was living off her bio dad.  And it's not like she has a full-time job like Laurel the lawyer.  But Slade still has years' more fighting experience than Thea, plus greater physical strength and stamina - so I don't think Thea could beat him in a fight.

You know what?

Let them spin this off. Let the New and 'Improved' BC and Helena leave Starling City and go around the globe taking names and kicking asses. Let them guest star on Arrow once a season during sweeps. I have some savings, who should I send them to to make it happen?

[newbie]

Me too!!!

[Hook75]

me 3....and take Ray with you.

[tv echo]

Here's my wild and hopeful speculation for 3x18 (which won't happen, but half-joking here)...

 

Felicity is injured in the head and wakes up in the hospital with short-term amnesia.  She doesn't remember anything that happened after "Unthinkable" (2x23).  So she doesn't remember Oliver asking her out on a date and then rejecting her, Sara dying, Oliver almost dying and then teaming up with Malcolm, Laurel becoming the BC, or anything about Ray Palmer at all. 

[Kordi]

Haha. I mean, I'm sure he meant "laying the groundwork" or something, but still.

 

Urban Dictionary includes the following definition as well.

 

LAYING PIPE:

A term used in TV writing. It's things that you wouldn't actually say in life, but they say it on TV to help you understand what's happening in the story. Example: A character saying, "You're my sister and I love you...", so that we understand that she is the character's sister is laying pipe.

 

Could MG have meant his remark that way?

Okay.. This is interesting, based on the pictures and all... I may have a theory regarding the episode title. I actually signed to my twitter account and posted on MG twitter(cause it's harder for him to ignore it there than on Facebook) we'll see if I'm right. I have to admit it is a fun little game, i hate mysteries, and this is a nice one to try and crack.

I'd take it! Especially the Forgetting Ray part and it could give Oliver a chance to redo things with Felicity lol but this is MG

Maybe it is. If the episode is what was speculated by someone on here it would be possibly be good. Except for the Oliver being in a cell while Felicity is hurt in the Hospital so creepy Ray can be there for her

[Guest]

I've noticed that for all the episode titles he's denied he's never addressed Public Enemies...makes me wonder if that is the correct title after all

 

From what we know about the episode, with Oliver presumably in jail (from the looks of it), and Roy being arrested, I would say that is very likely the title. 

[KirkB]

Going back to Huntress for a moment, the only real problem I had with her previous appearances came from Oliver, when he got on her for killing people during or after fight scenes where HE was killing people. Hypocrisy is a pet peeve of mine.

 

I get the feeling, based on nothing really, that Ra's will let anybody train with the League that he or someone else sponsors. Nyssa, presumably, was the one who brought Sara to him, and now apparently Malcolm as well. Let them train. The majority of people probably don't survive the training, and if they do they may actually be worthy of joining. The way he talked about Sara, how she was never really one of them, may have been either because he had a sense she was never a true believer or else he just didn't like his daughter's girlfriend.

[Sakura12]

I think it's more that Sara was never a true believer. After almost drowning in her second shipwreck, Sara was probably like fuck it and shut herself off from the world and just did whatever Nyssa and League told her to do. But she never actually believed in their cause. 

 

However with all the talk of Oliver or Laurel maybe joining the League doesn't that take away the point of the League? You can't just join, then leave whenever you want too. They are not a gym that just trains people for the hell of it. If you join, you kill for them, then die as one of them. Even Sara, whom Ra's didn't like. He realized she was a part of the league and should be avenged as one of them (or Nyssa was on his case about it and changed his mind). Either way you can't just be part of it to get trained then go do whatever you want. They said he knew Malcolm was a mistake why would he do that again?

Yeah, I have three Tumblrs (don't ask), and each time he did a Q&A without addressing it, I resent the guess. Could be that he didn't read any of them, but I can't be the only one who's sent it, so I think that's what it is too.

Why would he take Laurel? Because he never had a unicorn before. Also plot. Lots of plot.

[KirkB]

I get that Malcolm is rich and obviously well trained but how intimidating is the League really supposed to be if one guy can turn against them, wreck half a city, earning a blood threat, and successfully elude them for years, killing one of their own in the process?

[jay741982]

I wonder when we are getting the episode Description for 317.

Of course I mean the summary for things going on I know half of it is Sucide Squad

[apinknightmare]

I don't think Oliver or Laurel are joining the League. I think Ra's is going to make an offer of tutelage or whatever to Oliver, appealing to him for some kind of reason, maybe to do with Thea. Maybe he hopes that he'll be able to compel Oliver to join or to get Oliver to do something for him. Since MG spoiled that Ra's is going to make Oliver long for the halcyon days of Slade Wilson terrorizing him, I'm guessing Oliver declines? 

 

As for Nyssa training Laurel, it's probably some kind of non-League-sanctioned pet project she embarks on, or maybe she has a falling out with her father and walks away for a bit (he'd never kill Nyssa for leaving), and she trains her then. Assuming Nyssa does become her trainer and not Oliver. The only reason I don't think it'd be Oliver at this point is because he must have bigger fish to fry. I think he's going to focus on defeating Ra's and let everyone else take care of the city for the most part. 

Edited February 16, 2015 by apinknightmare

[Sakura12]

The League that they've showed on this show is the least threatening group of assassins I've ever seen. Sara took out a few easily and with just Oliver's help she killed the man trained Malcolm (which they seem to have forgotten). They are pretty useless. And Ra's has been an even bigger disappointment. It's another one of the Arrow writers tell not show storylines, until of course they need to rush in an illogical storyline to suddenly make Ra's the big bad. 

 

I'm surprised you aren't all getting whiplash watching this show.

It doesn't really make sense for anyone to call her Black Canary, does it? Sara was the Canary, and Laurel has that precious light inside her that dirty, foul Sara didn't so... Black? Surely Laurel is Light Canary (or Canary Lite)?

No it doesn't which is why they are going to do it.  I hope this isn't the Felicity moment that breaks the internet.  Some will be raging others rejoicing. I think I'm going to cry just thinking about it.

Same. Stupidly I'm hoping that moment will be about Felicity. LOL @ me. 

 

Someone on the team would have to call her Black Canary, or else it would be a HUGE coincidence, since the media was referring to Sara's Canary as "the woman in black," so no one even knew she had a name. If it is someone on the team, I hope it's a tongue-in-cheek mention that eventually sticks or something.

I won't like it but I'm not going rage cause yet again I'm not gonna dislike or hate Felicity for saying. More proof MG didn't get how mad some people will be. Again it's depressing seeing people dislike Felicity for being nice to a unlikable character who while she's been a Bitch hasn't committed mass murder

MAYBE Felicity says she loves Oliver? Then again probably not but I can't think of a moment where it would break the internet and put a smile on our face. Her calling Laurel would NOT do that

Don't I know it and he said this weeks ago if I remember correctly BEFORE he was STUNNED we saw that light comment as throwing Sara under the bus

This next episode is the one where Oliver and Maseo come back to Starling, right? We already know he sees Tommy and Laurel together. Maybe he also stops by QC and sees Felicity? He wouldn't know who she is but the implication could be that he remembers the cute blond techie come his real return and that is the reason he picks this one random IT person to help him? Now whether you could consider that good or bad....

If I had to guess, the internet-breaking, smile-making scene with Felicity will be Olicity related - not Felicity calling Laurel Black Canary. Although I can definitely see her being the one to do that.

- Malcolm. "Teach me how to fight, o brilliant one! Also, i wish Tommy was alive so that I could give my blessings to your holy union!"

- Ra's. "Come and join my League and be my bride!"

 

Love them, especially Ra's.  (Are you going to finish Feathers?)

 

The Tatsu one made me wonder if we could have Tatsu train Laurel. It would make more sense than Nyssa.

 

I could forgive Raylicity if they had a BoP spin-off that took Laurel off the show.

 

 

However with all the talk of Oliver or Laurel maybe joining the League doesn't that take away the point of the League? You can't just join, then leave whenever you want too. They are not a gym that just trains people for the hell of it. If you join, you kill for them, then die as one of them. Even Sara, whom Ra's didn't like.

Either way you can't just be part of it to get trained then go do whatever you want. They said he knew Malcolm was a mistake why would he do that again? 

Maybe after Oliver defeats him, Ra's can open a gym like Wildcat's.  Ra's al Ghul's Gym -- all the sword and archery training you could ever want.

[WaitandHope]

I just think there is going to be a fun flashback with Felicity in 2010 SC and Oliver making the googly eyes at her without her awareness. MG doesn't even have to retcon that much. Oliver did say "I did my homework on both of you!" To Felicity in 209 about she and Dig - so he will covertly observe Dig being awesome in 314, as well. I know that the comics indicated that Walter told Oliver about Felicity but I think this is pretty easy retconning that he had already seen what she could do and was impressed and a little smitten. As for breaking the Internet...we shall see. People are so Olicity starved, it could happen.

[Ariah]

 

Love them, especially Ra's.  (Are you going to finish Feathers?)

 

:) I was so bitter about the episodes after the break I couldn't get myself down to write... Actually, I have most written down, but I need to edit.

 

Damn you, Guggenheim and your spirit-breaking plots!

An idea about someone calling Laurel BC:

Roy walks in, sees Laurel painting her nails before going out to fight: "Are you painting them black, Canary?" => there you have it.

So Quentin is going to be on the Flash?  Proving that if you want to get some decent scenes, you have to move over to the other show.

Joe West and Quentin Lance with special guest Harrison Wells. I'd watch that

Maybe Quentin is in the same episode as Felicity and Ray and that then explains why there are CC cop cars in the following Arrow episode. They must be linked.

Personally since she is on Team Arrow she should get arrested too if the rest of them are. Oh if only there was a way to have Oliver and Felicity in the same holding cell or interrogation room so they could Talk their problems out lol

the timing doesn't lineup. Flash is filming 119 rigjt now, episode after 318, Felicity should be back in SC in 318.

AFAIK

118 - Felicity/Ray in CC

318 - Mama Smoak, CC cops in Starling, etc. I wonder if Joe or someone else from Flash shows up in SC?

119 - Post 318, Lance in CC. No idea why.

I don't think Oliver or Laurel are joining the League. I think Ra's is going to make an offer of tutelage or whatever to Oliver, appealing to him for some kind of reason, maybe to do with Thea. Maybe he hopes that he'll be able to compel Oliver to join or to get Oliver to do something for him. Since MG spoiled that Ra's is going to make Oliver long for the halcyon days of Slade Wilson terrorizing him, I'm guessing Oliver declines? 

I don't think Laurel is important enough to join the League, no matter how much I may want her to get some training off of my screen.

 

Ra's may make Oliver an offer but he won't accept.  What would be the point of Oliver joining, since his crusade is about saving Starling City.  He can't be a League assassin and still stick around SC.

What strikes me about that those tweets is just how far MG has pulled back on promoting the Olicity scene, from "break the internet  in the best possible way"  down to " ish ".  Maybe he got a clue that people aren't reacting the way he expected.

To be fair, the Felicity scene that's going to break the internet might not be Olicity related, so that could be why his answer is different regarding the two. And I'm guessing the Olicity scenes in 3x14 are going to be Oliver talking about Felicity to Thea and/or Slade, so it'll be Olicity related, but not typical in that Oliver and Felicity won't actually be in the scene together. And then there's also the possibility that he realized he's terrible at gauging reaction.

I'm kinda terrified of the scene but Ray is not in the episode. I'm really hoping it's her and Oliver almost cross paths in a FB or something.

[Carrie Ann]

I don't expect anything Olicity-related in the present day scenes. I think what MG's talking about will all be in the flashbacks. I think they'll either have a close encounter or work together indirectly, and yeah, maybe this is how Oliver knew to bring the laptop to her in 103. That's about as exciting as I think it's going to get.
