Starfish35 December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 (edited) Yeah, she was supposedly supposed to appear on Flash and LoT as well as Arrow, but so far we have not had the dubious pleasure. All three of her appearances so far have been Arrow. So....yay, we have that to look forward to. /sarcasm. Edited December 8, 2016 by Starfish35 5 Link to comment

I watch both Arrow and Supergirl regularly. I watch the Flash and LoT randomly if there is something I'm interested in that affects Arrow or Supergirl or vice versa. If she gets her own show altogether like a Birds of Prey spinoff or something, she's less likely to pop up as randomly on the shows I do watch. Or at least I can plan accordingly. Like her showing up at the end of 5.09 just pissed me off. If she's Black Siren posing as Laurel for like ONE episode, fine. But it sounds to me like she's gonna be a floater as a real and alive Laurel Lance, if I read WM's comments correctly. I'm hoping all the talk about how she's 2nd most important to the Green Arrow and all the canonization of Saint Laurel since she died is the set up for her to be spun off.

This is like a game of "Whack-A-Laurel" because she just keeps popping up randomly and annoying the crap out of me. Take comfort in the fact that it seems like KC was only in Van for a couple days to film all her scenes for 508, 509, and 510, as well as possibly an appearance on Flash, before she had to go back to Boston to film her movie, and then to Hawaii for vacation. 1 Link to comment
Chaser December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 I'm not convinced she didn't fly back to VanCity during 5x10 for some filming. She posted an IG story during that time and it looked like Laurels hair and makeup. Link to comment
Velocity23 December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 (edited) But that was most likely for 1 day.

Morrigan2575 December 8, 2016 Author Share December 8, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the info Quote I joked about Dream World Laurel hitching a ride on the alien pod to get Oliver, but you guys, she's dressed the same. At least it looks like it to me. Not, the crazy, hilarious version is that it actually IS Dream Laurel. A more plausible one is that Susan gave Oliver hallucinogens that makes him see dead people. This would be fun, except for the 510 preview scene that's already been released which seems to contradict the vision theory. She probably just filmed multiple episodes over the same days and they didn't bother with wardrobe changes for the cameo. Edited December 8, 2016 by Morrigan2575 Link to comment

insomniadreams88 December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 I'm assuming the Russian vodka is just another thing like the comment about a Twitter thing or whatever with a Russian reporter? (I'm not rewatching that scene to check that fact.) I wouldn't even be surprised if they explain the reporter's absence in an upcoming episode by having Oliver say she's in Russia for a story ... and still not finding that suspicious. Then that could lead to the Bratva episode? At this point, I really want the reporter to completely screw over Oliver and for Thea to just tell him she warned him. But I'm instead expecting everyone to comfort him and tell him he couldn't have known it would happen. 4 Link to comment

My crack theories how Laurel can be alive in her own meatsuit. 1) Given all the canonization of her by the writers and characters and an actual statue in her honor, a higher power decided resurrect Laurel in her own meatsuit. 2) Her statue had a piece of Laurel's soul (think horcrux or the the fobwatch from Doctor Who) and it came to life because someone wanted to resurrect Laurel and got help from Constantine. . 3) The Power of Love resurrected her from the shared dream walking and she became a living breathing Laurel who came out of the dream akin to @bijoux's theory which I love BTW. 4) Laurel is a revenant. 5) Laurel was never really most sincerely dead but only mostly dead. Nyssa with the help of the doctors squirreled her off to Nanda Poorbutt where she was fully trained by Nyssa and now is back as the The Black Canary. 6) Someone had Laurel's DNA and gave it to some science genius to regrow Laurel as a clone. 6 Link to comment

I had anticipated her showing up while Oliver and the gang were out fighting or something, not insinuating herself into the group as the real Laurel. It would redeem this season a lot if Felicity is suspicous and trying to find out who this doppleganger is. But more likely they'll just have her kiss St. Laurel's parts too. 1 Link to comment
Aeryn13 December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 It wouldn`t make sense to me if it was real!Laurel. Sure, people have come back "from death" before but those had an explanation, either we didn`t see them actually die onscreen or it was the Lazarus Pit. Would be ridiculous if noone asked questions. And it can`t be because of Flashpoint because those changes came into effect after episode 2 and Quentin was still deep in his grief-drinking by then so obviously Laurel`s death did not change. 1 Link to comment

LeighAn December 8, 2016 Share December 8, 2016 IIRC he swore up and down that Emily was not at the mansion set filming which we now know she was. Even on his Twitter in response to that tweet he was implying the reason Emily has been filming less is because Felicity has less screen time when in reality she is fairly on par with the same screen time she had last season and is still getting the second most screen time on the show. Im not saying he's a troll but I think them spoiling all of last year has created this idea (not here just speaking generally) that KP and CG are always right which I don't buy. I think they had a good source last year one they don't have this year considering they haven't scooped a single storyline. Therefore they are just going back to who they happen to see on set and it's possible Emily might not be filming but it's also possible they just haven't been there when she was. It's possible they can be wrong. Honestly I think this biggest thing that got me was when CanadaGraphs a couple of months ago was all I'm posting this now that it's official about I think the Talia or Tina casting or something like he knew before hand but was just waiting for it to be made offical when all last season he spoiled just about every single major surprise the show had in store and didn't care a crap that it wasn't official. 5 Link to comment

way2interested December 9, 2016 Share December 9, 2016 Just now, Morrigan2575 said: Is BS working for Prometheus? Seems awfully convenient she shows up when she does and, has the pass codes. Honestly that was my first thought, and it's still in the back of my head after hearing in the clip that it seems like she's playing dumb with Oliver, but I'm wondering if that's reaching too much. Then again, Prometheus seems to be quite the elaborate plan-maker. Ultimately though, I'm just getting the feeling that she pushes them somehow to get them to start looking for a new BC like the real Laurel wanted. But in keeping with the idea of complicated plans, since Malone was actually good and not working with Prometheus, how in the world did he get Oliver's old arrows from inside SCPD? Unless that becomes a twist in the Prometheus reveal later or if that was just some throwaway idea that writers had in that one episode so they could set up the Lance red herring at the end of 506.

I think the likely answer is it's a plot hole. Or they will say she hacked it or something. No idea how he would know her but, the guy seems to be the Chess Master type of villain. The only things I know about 510 are that Oliver/Felicity are looking for a mystery BC, they're on a Pier, the statute (most likely gets blown up), Diggle's in jail, LL/BS just pops up and doesn't know anything that's been going on and there's a scene with Felicity and Prometheus. I think we can safely rule out Flashpoint or Timetravel because any changes that brought Laurel back to life would be unknown to TA. Just like no one knew about Baby Sara until told them. They would just think she was there all along. So that leaves BS. Why would BS just decide to pop in just then? Of course it could be a plot hole but, I don't know. If she showed up in 10 as the mystery BC I might buy it. Instead she shows up at the end of the Prometheus episode and, she's apparently hanging out with the group during whatever time jump there is. When she was on Flash, we learned that she's a follower, not a leader and, she was used to create distractions while Zoom did his thing. Now she shows up, while the gang is trying to find out who Prometheus really is, trying to find his mother and, she's another distraction. They're dealing with someone miraculously coming back from the dead, no explanations, they're filling her in and, probably chasing after her while she's blowing stuff up, like the BC statute.

tv echo December 9, 2016 Share December 9, 2016 I need to correct a previous post above. It was the Vigilante (not Prometheus) who said that the GA had never experienced loss, thereby indicating that the Vigilante didn't know that Oliver was the GA. This cuts against Adrian Chase being Prometheus. From 507: Vigilante: "Shut up! You're not getting the job done because you don't take it seriously enough. Maybe because you haven't lost anyone. You don't have a full understanding of what's out there." Oliver: "Oh, I've lost people. Almost more than I can bear." Vigilante: "Then it hasn't been more than you can bear. Maybe you need a push!" Also, TR tweeted a thank you/goodbye to Arrow cast and crew. So that rules out Billy faking his death and being Prometheus. 1 Link to comment
insomniadreams88 December 9, 2016 Share December 9, 2016 We don't know that there's going to be a time jump between 509 and 510 - at least not a significant one. Maybe a day or two? (Though given that the clip has Oliver saying Felicity's working, I'd hope they gave her time to mourn before calling her up and going, "Hey, gotta deal with a Lance family member again! Need you at the computer!" Since everyone wanted her back when they needed her when she was paralyzed, though, I'm not holding my breath.) The thing is, unless KC's going to be around full-time, I don't get how it's possible she's not Black Siren. If she's Laurel, is she just going to decide to leave town at the end of her guest stint now? Disappear because of some other change to the timeline? Die again? Decide to go traveling with her sister even though she's not going to be on Legends of Tomorrow? Having her be Black Siren, con the team, then be put back in the pipeline/sent back to E-2/etc. seems like the easiest way to have her only be in a couple of Arrow/Flash episodes. (She's in The Flash too, right?) 2 Link to comment

Malcolm Merlyn breaks into the lair all the time, so he would be able to provide her with the info on access. For the 5.10 preview clip (I've got bad audio) - was Felicity and Lyla looking for Talia?

The scene moves to an alley/parking lot where GA approachs Tina about coming to Star City. Tina's stunt double is also there so some type of action. Does CG normally know what the scene is about? I feel like he normal describes what he sees not the dialogue. Im curious about what makes them seek out Tina to join the Team. An anti vigilant cop from another city seems an odd choice for recruitment. I wonder if the police is super duper corrupt again and they are looking for a cop to trust on the force? Link to comment
