I actually didn't notice family and friends were not in those pics, so it cannot be the actual weddings?  Joe would never miss his daughter's wedding and none of the super friends either. 

It's the weddings..they happen exactly like the call sheets say..I guess they'll just decide to get marry on the spot and won't think about calling anyone. Just Dig since he has to officiate..

[Featherhat]

Because for some reason the EPs decided they'd go for all options, a lead up to a big wedding that's crashed by Nazi's a big death and then two very tiny weddings for their big couples. I wouldn't want LOT there if Stein has just died, it's weird enough Barry and Iris appear to be in their funeral gear. Must have been *very* spur of the moment because yes at least the rest of Team Flash should want to be there, especially Joe. I suppose any follow up to the situation will come in their own episodes/MSFs.

It seems to be exactly what the leaked "call sheets" described a couple of weeks ago that people weren't sure were accurate or not, but it seems they were.

That's just what I wanted to say. Oliver and Felicity are like, you're the greatest. And Barry and Iris are looking at them all, you guys are the greatest. :)

Looking at all the pics at Just Jared, they all look so happy during filming. And the post-wedding hug reminds me of the post-proposal hug. Aw.

In Donald Trump's words: SAD. So SAD.

Does it matter that I want it or is it bad because I am not a 'real' fan? Maybe he should make a list of what he wants and send it to MG. 

Can anybody tell me maybe what they spoiled for Arrow on the Flash? Was that significant? I still don't watch the Flash..

From what I got, Felicity and Curtis surviving the island. It seems Cisco worked with them to get Barry out of the speedforce.

[Belinea]

Thanks. Now I have to overcome my absolute shock that Felicity and Curtis are alive. 

[insomniadreams88]

Okay, so I still think a double wedding is going to be awkward, but I also still think SA and EBR will sell me on it, even more so the more I see from the wedding. I also think that if we get vows (which it looks like we will?), Oliver and Felicity's will probably kill me. 

[Guest]

I LOVE the pics of Oliver cradling Felicity's face as he kisses her. That is just perfect and my favourite kind of kiss, visually speaking. ? ?

I'm still surprised that they filmed it so out in the open for everyone to see though. Because there were actually fans out there who didn't believe it was happening and so would have been surprised when the episode airs so it's weird how they let it be spoiled like this.

Apparently I missed a ton of what was going on in the promo, including Oliver in a jail cell. It could be about the GA accusations, since he's giving a press conference about it, but I'd almost be willing to bet he escaped there to think for a bit.

Doesn't Oliver get arrested in the Thanksgiving episode?

[bijoux]

He does, but I didn't think they'd include footage from episode 7. I'm sure you're right, though.

I can't remember where I saw it mentioned but I'm pretty sure the trailer includes footage from the first 7 episodes. MG's twitter, maybe?

Also, HE'S ALIVE. OH, THE SHOCK!

Also I am loving all the Olicity pictures, I want to thank whoever took those kissing pictures. Also it's funny that Stephen and Emily were doing a lot of rehearsing for the kiss. Thanks for taking your job seriously even though you've kissed plenty of times and you dont need to rehearse.

Thank the spoiler gods for all those pictures. They're making me feel better that it's a double wedding.  (Is there a pool for who breaks up first?)

Quote

A duo wedding took place today. Yes, a DUO WEDDING.

....

While The Flash characters looked dressed for the occasion, it was pretty clear Oliver and Felicitys wedding plans were pretty spur of the moment, as they were both dressed in casual clothes.

It's dual, not duo.  sigh

Of course it's all Olicity's fault because they crashed Barry's and Iris' happy day.  Without their mutual dad or brother.

[Cleanqueen]

Iris and Barry look like they're dressed for a funeral, how are they dressed for the occasion?

[insomniadreams88]

The more I see reactions like GATV's, the more I can't wait for the wedding. And for the official promotion of Olicity to begin for the season. 

And maybe for the interviews after the wedding. (I say maybe because we have no idea what Qs will be asked/if we'll end up getting word salad we have to make sense of.)

His opinion counts and if you have another then he will do stuff like that twitter post. He is not better or worse than most on reddit when it comes down to it.

Going by Barry's and Iris's expressions during Olicity vows, my expectations are running high there.

I was just going to say that - he is literally defining bias. This is such a small thing but if Nyssa survives (fingers crossed) I pray that there is some throwaway line about how she "releases" Oliver from their union before the crossover. Cause I really can't deal with the fanboys yelling about how the Olicity wedding is not valid for the remainder of the series...

[TwistedandBored]

Seriously, who would have thought we would be here back in season 1. I remember just being happy EBR will be made a regular and now here we are. Olicity is getting married and Felicity is one of the most important DCTV character out here. Dreams do come true.

Yep. Also, so Nyssa is released from it. She never deserved that. And I get that they seem to love the "husband" jokes on the show whenever she shows up, but seriously, think of Nyssa. It's not like that "marriage" was anything anyone ever wanted. 

That being said, I'll be shocked if Nyssa isn't, if not dead, presumed dead in the premiere and there are zero lines between her and anyone else since there have been no reports of KL filming and only of her double being on set for the 601 FBs.

LOL. His bitterness gives me life. I honestly think I’m enjoying that even more than I’m enjoying the pictures, which is a lot. Look at those two goofy idiots!

 

Is their marriage license from S4 still valid? As much as I’ve been enjoying the pictures, the practical side of my brain keeps wondering about this, and I’ve never been married, so I am ignorant as to how these things work.   ETA: Just found out that in my home state of Florida, you have to use the license within 60 days of issuance. So now I’m really interested to see if this gets addressed on the show.

This is me, but I'm petty like that.  In fact, it's not just limited to Craig...I'm over here enjoying the hell out of everyone's salty tears.  People reap exactly what they sow, and after listening to nearly five seasons of people whining about every non-canon move the writing made and harassing/belittling anyone who didn't tow the comic book line, I'm ecstatic that the EPs pretty much ignored them in the end and did what made sense with what was happening on the TV screen.

To clarify, I'm not exactly thrilled with how the show has handled Olicity the past 1-1/2 seasons and was furious that they essentially made Felicity apologize for Oliver lying to her, but I'm just happy that there's finally something positive to look forward to in what has become a rather boring, repetitive, tedious show to watch in general.  I was one who really enjoyed the show from the start because of the story, family dynamics, and the stunts and became an Olicity shipper wayyyyy later than everyone else.  Who knew that nearly 6 seasons later they would basically be the only thing that's still keeping me even remotely interested.

Hey guys I have a question about the comics. 

Someone posted a pic of GA and BC in comics hugging some boy that was their son and tagged it Olicity, presumably to irritate us. Did GA or BC have a child in Comics?

Because if that's GA's son it is hilarious that the show has pictures of Felicity playing happy families with William!!!! Bahahahahahaha

In the comics he also is well known for having a kid NOT with BC.  Maybe two even?

He is a bit better.  I mean, Reddit is REALLY bad.  He's as bitter but so far he isn't begging Slade to "keep his promises" like the rest.  He even claims he's open to them if they are written well enough.  We'll see about that, lol.

I dont know about the States, but in my country all black for funerals is kind of obligatory, and then 6 months wearing black when you mourn. 

[BunsenBurner]

I have been to 4 funerals in the past 2 years. Almost everyone has worn black. The only one where everyone wore color was to my mother's. Everyone that was contacted was asked to wear red and the more outrageous the better. It was awesome.

[statsgirl]

Here it's still black for the close relatives, dark blue or grey for others.

But it makes sense that Oliver and Felicity wouldn't have brought funeral clothes to Central City for Barry and Iris' wedding.

[Midnight Lullaby]

Here too black or at least dark clothes for funerals..

[bijoux]

Regardless of real world customs, black is common for Arrowverse funerals - Moira, Laurel, I think Malcolm's wife (we saw kid Oliver and Tommy after it in a flashback, didn't we?), and while I haven't watched, I'm fairly sure I saw photos of The Flash characters wearing black to some funeral on their show.

[bijoux]

Oooh, Felicity's dress has a big ole' slit. Crossing my fingers hard for some indication of pre-wedding shenanigans there. Maybe the bride isn't in the church yet because it takes the bridal party a while to find Felicity and Oliver groping in a supply closet.

[Mellowyellow]

The back view on EBR is rather nice already!

I wish @bijoux!!!!! We'll all hope hard! Try to channel it like a rain dance or something!

I really like that dress. It demands an Olicity moment.

Oliver believes Black Siren is capable of redemption. He’s been down that road before. However, what does Black Siren want?

Black Siren is such a great, complicated character. It’s fun to have Katie Cassidy back on the show. She’s done an amazing job with that character. For her, we have gone down that road in terms of redemption. I think the difference here is she may be the Earth-2 Laurel, but she is still Laurel. It’s really a question of Laurel inside this version of Black Siren, drawing her our and seeing if that’s truly who she is. This season is really about parenting and family. One of the things that Oliver is going to be exploring is the question of nature versus nurture. Why is Laurel from Earth-2 so evil, when Laurel on Earth-1 is not? We will answer that question through the course of the season and figuring out if she really is incapable of redemption. We don’t answer that for quite a while.

I really hope they don't spend a lot of time on this because it sounds like they're just going to draw it out until they go, "nope, no redemption." Also, it means that we're going to be stuck seeing this Q (and probably very similar answers to it) "for quite a while" during the season.

Quote

Most of Arrow’s opponents get physical with him. It’s difficult to imagine Michael Emerson trading blows with Arrow. What makes Michael’s top-secret character a worthy adversary?

He’s super-smart. He’s one of the most intelligent villains we’re going to have on the show. Michael Emerson himself just brings this level of malevolence, intelligence and unpredictability. He’s not physical, and he’s not able to hold his own against Green Arrow or anyone who survives the island. But, he can do things in an unpredictable way. The show has been on for five seasons and we wanted to change it up in Season 6. We were looking for someone who could do things, who could wreak havoc and commit crimes and cause problems for Oliver in other ways.

AKA more of the "we're not saying ME is Cayden James but we kind of are at the same time."

Quote

With everything going on, where does Vigilante fit in?

We’re excited about that. We left that thread dangling in Season 5. We are definitely going to ask the question of who he is and who he is involved with. He won’t make an appearance initially. The reveal of who is he will take everyone by surprise.

Stop saying that. I hate when EPs promote a storyline with "it's going to surprise you" or "you're going to be surprised!" because most of the time, it doesn't and I'm not. 

Also, this is something they've been drawing out since last season. If we don't know who Vigilante is by midseason break, I'm really not going to care when we find out. I'm hoping they reveal that to the audience soon-ish. Keep the team in the dark, fine. But tell the audience.

Good grief, its like the whole Caitlin and KF thing over on The Flash.

I hope their answer is that, NO, she is evil. Anyone who demolishes a building and keeps hurting people for no apparent reason and keeps aligning herself with villains is NOT A GOOD PERSON,,period.
