kismet March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Thinking about what @TrueMyth said. The mystery of the nude undersuit is still bugging me. If it was for warmth off set I would imagine she'd just wear a jacket. It if was warmth on set I think that would be unflattering unless the shots are far off in distance. They could also be trying to light a scene, but that seems to be a lot of effort to have someone put on a nude suit under a dress for lighting, and I would anticipate they would have stand in & not the principal be there instead. It being used for modesty then that would be logical, but its illogical for her to throw her dress over it for the interview, again a sweater would have done the job to cover the costume. Im thinking that TrueMyth might be on to something and it is being used for protection from explosives or squibs. And if that is the case then she must be pretty close for reaction shots, because otherwise I would imagine they would simply put in stunt double. Another theory that had been passed around earlier in the threads was that the nude arms were covering up injury/wounds make-up. Which could be possible too. My guess is it was for stunt protection. So it should be interesting what happens. I believe they were filming 19 at the time, but it could have been end of 18. It was too early for them to be filming 20. 1 Link to comment
Guest March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Didn't MG debunk the 'Felicity dying and getting LP'd theory? I swear I saw a reblog of his answer on tumblr. Link to comment
kismet March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Read a tumblr post (http://ah-maa-zing.tumblr.com/post/114160901774/arrow-speculation-who-dies) that was trying to figure out who would die. After deliberating they decided Thea would die & be put in LP. It made some good points. Im beginning to agree with this theory. I too can only see OQ becoming Ras to save the 2 women whom he loves the most. Maybe Diggle as well, but we all know DR is not gonna get killed. FS is too obvious an answer, plus we need to disentangle her from Ray to even make it possible. If she gets injured in r/t Ray, then Ray would be involved in saving her & I don't see or hear about him in NP. If FS gets injured the minute she starts working just for TA, that's too cliche & predictable. But Thea on the other hand has been teetering on death & darkness for most of the season. And this season was all about saving Thea's soul. What if in saving her life via the LP, they lose her soul in the process? Then we have a nice arc set-up for next season or the comics trying to get Thea back from the darkness. The special effects mask fitting pic that was leaked & removed could have been her getting fitted for prosthetics required during the LP or its aftermath and not a superhero mask. It did seem like a lot of molding just to make a mask, esp. if it is likely just an eye mask. I'm guessing that there are rule & consequences to the LP, perhaps only those chosen can use the waters without injury - which is why Ras seems unaffected. While those not chosen can survive but are scarred in someway at least temporarily. I just think going into NP the first time OQ knew 2 things and somehow I think the end of the season will all link back to those 2 people he was sure about (Thea & Felicity). Roy is my next guess. But would OQ become Ras to save him in the LP? Not sure. Think it is more likely that he is locked up in the house of corrections. I do recall that pic they released from the production office that had him in a HOC issued jacket. Explaining why he's been off set & unable to help TA. Perhaps LL will help him get out the legal way. Also explains why he keeps on suggesting that RH is not gone from the show. Again provide good arc for comics or s4. There having trouble writing LL into the comics, perfect opportunity to have her defending RH & vigilanting at night for clues to prove his innocence, esp if it comes out about his role in the cops death. LL will go far for OQ but I can't see the writers choosing to LP her, not now that they are also bringing back Sara. Unless & this is absolutely crazy - but what if they LP LL and both her & sara get simultaneously resurrected from the pool. I know wicked crazy & unrealistic, but who knows. Perhaps somebody dropped Sara in earlier, and it just took until LL got there for it to be completed. Although I think is more likely that the Sara we know was never really killed (either Ras or MM), rather the person TA buried was someone who had been chosen or volunteered to die as Sara to set Ras or MM plan in motion. Nyssa would be really upset w/ her father, if he was involved in keeping Sara hidden & faking her death. Perhaps that is how Ras will actually die. Nyssa will kill him because of what he did to her & Sara. Season Finale problem fixed. OQ takes Ras offer, the mission to destroy SC ends. However, he never becomes Ras because Nyssa killing her father trumps the prophecy. In order to become Ras you must defeat Ras. OQ is only getting the offer because of a small print clause on the prophecy, not because he fulfilled the big prophecy. OQ can return to SC as the Arrow & Nyssa takes her rightful place & is now ally to TA. LL remains on as BC since Nyssa now trained her & SL is released from her oath to LoA and chooses to have a normal life outside of SC or NP wherever the spin-off is likely to take place. Didn't MG debunk the 'Felicity dying and getting LP'd theory? I swear I saw a reblog of his answer on tumblr. Yes he did. But I think he's debunked just about every other theory too. Just keep watching is the gist of most of his answers these days. So I think he's just playing this one close to the chest, as he should. I love speculating & trying to figure it out amongst fans. But I don't want it actually spoiled for me from the writers/producers, that would ruin all the fun! 1 Link to comment
Chaser March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I love the idea of it being Thea and I think storywise it would be the most cohesive with the story told so far. There are two things they are really building on right now: they kickstarted Roy/Thea back up and they are really focusing on Thea/Oliver. The EPs said that this season would be an award for KC and WH. KC got her BC trilogy mid-season. This feels like WH's time. 3 Link to comment
Guest March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) I think it's very possible it's Thea, if the LP is going to be used at all. But it does link back to Oliver saying he would do anything - anything - to save his sister and with him now being adamant about his refusal to be the next Ra's, I can see that being the only thing to change his mind. It also links into how this season is Thea's crucible - what's bigger than dying and being revived? The Oliver/Thea parallels are great - about the only thing that is this season.

looptab March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) Thinking about MG's weird response re: Thea/Felicity scenes, I think maybe he answered that way because they won't exactly go as we expect? What I see is people generally expecting good interactions between the two, but what if Thea somehow is adversarial towards Felicity? I wouldn't mind an exchange like that, personally. Let your Moira show, Thea. I kinda crave the two of them just serving truth tea to each other. (When they first announced those Thea/Felicity scenes that were then pushed back, I imagined a similar scenario haha). I just don't know that they would be instantly friendly.

That thought crossed my mind too. If maybe the reason he didn't respond with a keep watching or something more teasing is because it isn't a positive interaction. Thea is close with Laurel, maybe she still thinks its Laurel for Oliver (I really doubt this btw, he hasn't bothered with breadcrumbs for Oliver and Laurel shippers so why start now). Maybe she is super protective of Oliver and doesn't like to see him hurting. Another option that I much prefer is that, the scene is too spoilery for him to talk about. 1 Link to comment
apinknightmare March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) If they do have a negative interaction, I wonder what it'd even be about? As far as we know, all Thea knows about Felicity is that she is Oliver's friend/former assistant/partner in vigilante-ing. Maybe she could notice Oliver looking a bit lovesick at her and she could not like that, but wouldn't she talk to Oliver about his feelings first before being nasty to Felicity over them? Then he'd tell her that he didn't think they could be together, which is his issue, not Felicity's. If she thought Laurel was still it for Oliver, what's the point of being nasty to Felicity about it? That's Oliver's issue - especially considering Felicity will be at the wedding with Ray, so it's not like she's "keeping" Oliver from Laurel or whatever. I guess maybe Thea could think she was stringing Oliver along, but then that would go back to them not being together being Oliver's decision, and she's not really stringing him along since he's the one who told her no first. I wonder if Thea knows or finds out that Felicity's the one who found out that Malcolm is her father and told Oliver about it, therefore "causing" her whole current crisis? Never mind the fact that Malcolm was pretty much going to come back and get her regardless after Moira died, but I could see Thea being nasty about that, if she was going to be nasty to Felicity about anything.

Chaser March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I can't think of a really plausible reason for Thea and Felicity to interact negatively, which is why I'm leaning more towards a 'Spoiler Alert Scene.' I just find his answer to be worded a bit oddly. 1 Link to comment
kismet March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I can't see an overtly negative relationship. But I can see an over-protective Thea trying to protect her brother. But honestly, I see her turning to Oliver with her concerns first before turning to Felicity about it. I could see a little Moira coming out in her and calling Felicity out. Thea does not seem to have a filter when it comes to truth tea. Which is amazing btw, luv her one liners. As for the whole MM is her father and FS finding out before her, I can't see how that has any bearing on what is happening right now. The former DA knew about the affair and was going to bring it up in the trial, so it was bound to come up. TQ chose to go with MM at the end of s2 so thats on her. Moira chose to overly protect her children & that is on her (RIP Moira, miss u). RQ knews & Walter likely knew, perhaps they should have told her or helped convince MQ that it was Theas right to know. I can't see how FS finding out & then immediately talking to OQ & MQ about it has any bearing on the current relationship drama between MM/OQ/TQ. Even if FS had told TQ (which would have been completely wrong & not her place) it would probably not have changed what went down this season. Now if MQ or OQ had told Thea earlier, like they should have then we could have probably bypassed a good portion of this MM drama. 1 Link to comment
Guest March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 The only way I see Thea acting negatively towards Felicity is if she thinks Felicity is hurting Oliver in some way and her protective sibling side comes out. But I wouldn't even see that lasting beyond an episode. If anything Felicity and Thea have a common ground this season, now that Thea knows what a disgusting human her father is. They both hate Malcolm and I'd love it if they teamed up in some way to destroy him, even though that will never happen because I'm feeling more and more certain that they're trying to redeem that bastard. UGH. Link to comment
looptab March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I don't know either, honestly. I made pretty much the same suppositions, her seeing Oliver all puppy eyed and blaming Felicity for stringing him along. Considering it's the wedding episode I'm expecting they'll beat us with Olicity teasing and whatnot. I'm not so optimist about it, haha. I also wondered about Felicity's role in finding out Thea's parentage. I would like her to say that Oliver found out just two weeks before Thea did. Link to comment

kismet March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) 321 could be the episode when Sara returns. Thereby being a close & happy moment between all 3 of them. MGs recent tumblr responses seem to have taken on the form of indexing more than anything else. You want to see X, then watch episode #. If u like y, then episode # is your episode. Im choosing to read nothing into what he says... Sidenote - That poor girl shipping anything that smiles & breathes, what rough show she's chosen to follow. Barely anybody smiles on this show.

Chaser March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I think Felicity is going to be torn between defending Ray and agreeing with Oliver. I really get the impression she doesn't know what all Ray intends to do. I highly doubt they are going with a Laurel/Nyssa pairing. I'm just assuming more bonding time, esp if Sara is the one coming back. Link to comment
wonderwall March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I really hope Felicity gets pissed off at Ray for not telling her about the suit. Like what kind of ass does that? Regardless, what do Ray and Felicity actually talk about? Because I get the feeling that Felicity doesn't know Ray's intentions with the suit at all. Do they even have any meaningful conversations other than tech talk? I mean, the only things they talked about over the season that was remotely meaningful was when Ray talked about Anna and when Ray/Felicity had that uncomfortably close moment in episode 11 where he told her that he was doing this for her now (which imo makes the least amount of sense because they barely know each other). Anyways, back to the topic at hand. I'm really really hoping that the writers don't make a complete 180 and turn whatever's going on between O/F into yet another cliche by dragging R in the middle of this. I hope Oliver is respectful of Felicity's decision to have a something with Ray. I hope Ray doesn't get jealous of O/Fs renewed closeness. I hope this whole thing between the three of them has more to do with their vigilante activities than the whole love triangle crap. Last episode gave me hope that the writers can actually write themselves out of this contrived mess without making it into yet another cliche and I feel like that's dangerous lmao 1 Link to comment
Guest March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Omg no, that Laurel/Nyssa thing. NO. NO. NO. Is there not ONE thing of Sara's that doesn't automatically end up with Laurel? I don't mean to call Nyssa a 'thing' but come on. Laurel has Sara's mask, she's taken her name, they shared Oliver back and forth (gross), could we please leave Nyssa out of it?! Omg. This is horrifying. The only thing that's saving this right now is that MG exaggerates big time. Link to comment
Password March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Considering Oliver didn't throw a jealous hissy fit (as he's won't to do with Felicity concerning other men) I really don't think it'll happen. Or maybe I'm terribly hopeful it won't happen. Link to comment

Password March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) To be fair, the suit is an unknown entity. It wouldn't just endanger Felicity but civilians too. Ray, as Laurel, has (had?) no vigilante experience therefore bad things could happen from his lack of experince...and there's the possibility that things could blow up accidentally. Even Barry has things happen and he's SUPER fast...and really should be able to stop them but anyway. Edited March 21, 2015 by Limbo 2 Link to comment

apinknightmare March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Do we know why Ray ends up in hospital in 3.18? Could it be after his confrontation with the Arrow goes badly? No, it's during an attack on the mayor's office. “Public Enemy” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)DONNA SMOAK RETURNS — During an attack on the mayor's office, Ray (Brandon Routh) is critically injured. Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is pleasantly surprised when her mother, Donna Smoak (guest star Charlotte Ross), shows up at the hospital to offer her support. With the SCPD out in full force looking for the assailant, Oliver (Stephen Amell) and his team work hard to stay one step ahead of the police to find the man responsible. However, things come to a head when Ra's al Ghul (guest star Matt Nable) kidnaps Captain Lance (Paul Blackthorne). Dwight Little directed the episode written by Marc Guggenheim & Wendy Mericle (#318). Original airdate 4/1/2015. I forgot about this synopsis, haha. So I guess Felicity isn't so devastated and/or worried that she calls Donna and asks her to come. I'm just confused about the timeline of it all... Do Felicity/Ray visit CC before Ray goes to the hospital or after Ray goes to the hospital?

wonderwall March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 It was supposed to be before, but the network-mandated break pushed it until after. That makes very little sense to me. If Ray is critically injured, how can he be up and running in his suit n CC afterwards? Charlotte Ross tweeted something along the lines of "Who do I tell her to choose"... I mean in my mind obviously it won't be Ray because he's essentially a tertiary character nobody cares about... so if Felicity is supposed to be at a crossroads regarding her life and who she wants to be with and whatnot, it'd be strange to see her and Ray take a vacay to CC afterwards.

dtissagirl March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Thanks, guys. I imagine editing out any mention the characters make to events from their recent past would solve most of the weirdness. And since AK said they did make adjustments to the 118 script, that's gotta relate to Palmer being injured a week prior. Here's hoping it's not TOO wonky. You know, this has got to have the EPs thinking about future crossovers. It makes me wonder if one of the changes coming is they'll scale back on the serialized nature of Arrow, and go more villain of the week, procedural style. That would certainly make crossovers work easier. Link to comment
Velocity23 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 So it seems Deadbolt escapes from Starling city since he shows up on the Flash in 1x22. Link to comment
catrox14 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) Thanks, guys. I imagine editing out any mention the characters make to events from their recent past would solve most of the weirdness. And since AK said they did make adjustments to the 118 script, that's gotta relate to Palmer being injured a week prior. Here's hoping it's not TOO wonky. You know, this has got to have the EPs thinking about future crossovers.

That would certainly make crossovers work easier. Man that would suck if they do that with Arrow. Serialization is critical to Oliver's SL. It IS the storyline. That will really piss me off if they do that. Edited March 22, 2015 by catrox14 1 Link to comment
dtissagirl March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 I wouldn't mind half mytharc, half monster of the week, a la X-Files. But there are two lumps of Arrow episodes mid S2 and mid S3 that I'll never ever watch again, and that's because they went full serialized with Laurel [and Malcolm this season], and spectacularly failed imo. I'd be willing to try something new so the mid-season slump would stop. 7 Link to comment

I'm in this thing for Oliver. 5 Link to comment
dtissagirl March 22, 2015 Share March 22, 2015 I totally don't think these writers have 23 Oliver-focused episodes per season in them, but agree to disagree. 1 Link to comment

If they weren't using the comics to tell part of the story...that would certainly help them keep the story on screen. That bugs me more than anything 3 Link to comment
