AyChihuahua March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 I'm waiting for the surprise surprise, the fake wedding ends with them really married LOL It wouldn't work like that IRL, but with this show, who the hell knows. I think it'll be interrupted prior to even in-show completion, though. I love how we specced this, but it seemed like a ginormous flag that there are no guests, and surely Cupid would sense a trap if there are no guests. I guess she IS Oliver and son-levels of dumb! 2 Link to comment
Primal Slayer March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 Lord these writers are just stupid and lazy. Olicity are really going to pose for a fake wedding just to draw out Cupid? They can't find her ANY other way? Just kill off Laurel ASAP so I can be done. 2 Link to comment

I doubt they'd want to endanger civilians (considering LL is in court, Diggle/Thea are probably there or hiding in order to get to Cupid). I'm just going to headcanon the lady officiating them is ARGUS or something. Yep. Plus, I doubt Oliver/Felicity have many friends outside the team/ The Flash team haha BTW i just looked up thise writers and they're total noobs.

I'm just going to headcanon the lady officiating them is ARGUS or something. Yep. I absolutely get why they don't have guests. I don't get why Cupid doesn't think "Hmm, no guests at an otherwise formal wedding, and I've been murdering couples at their weddings...I WONDER if this is a trap?" Felicity's a well-known billionaire CEO and Oliver was a budding politician. If they had brains in their heads they'd have tons of guests. Not inviting important people to important people's weddings is a good way to lose out on future business with those important people. They would have had quite a guest list. But they certainly would have had SOME guests, and those chairs were empty. 2 Link to comment
Coop33 March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 The staged wedding plot line is definitely falling under "so bad, it's good" for me. I am curious as to whose idea it will be though. 4 Link to comment

Not inviting important people to important people's weddings is a good way to lose out on future business with those important people. They would have had quite a guest list. But they certainly would have had SOME guests, and those chairs were empty. It could be that the public Oliver and Felicity, after hearing that there is a serial killer out attacking couples on their wedding days and after recovering from a kidnapping from a magical domestic terrorist and after being attacked the same night that they got engaged, would not want to take any chances and have a very private wedding with just the two of them to get through it together before something else bad happens to them, but that's just me trying to defend Cupid's judgment... The staged wedding plot line is definitely falling under "so bad, it's good" for me. I am curious as to whose idea it will be though. Same, I can't help but be excited to see what goes down. If the writers want to avoid making this plot completely cruel instead of just indirectly, they'll make the plan Felicity's. Honestly, I can't picture anyone else actually standing up and coming up with that plan, but I've been surprised before. To me, Oliver wouldn't agree to this plan otherwise unless it were Felicity's plan or if Felicity immediately jumps on the idea to support it. 2 Link to comment
Angel12d March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 (edited) I mean, it's bad because they probably could've had a couple of ARGUS agents pose as bait, if they wanted to, especially as Lyla's in charge now. Having it be Olicity is so contrived. But it's also good because I get to look at their faces while they have to pretend to get married all the while knowing that they both really wanted nothing more before it got ruined by lies. And I really like their faces when they gaze at each other. LOL. Either way, low expectations. I've never really liked the Cupid episodes anyway. They tend to be OTT and cheesy.

lemotomato March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 They skipped scenes of Oliver holding vigil at Felicity's bedside, but they'll make a whole episode with the fake wedding when they're broken up trope? Meh. 14 Link to comment
Starfish35 March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 I think it sounds awful, and I usually like the Cupid episodes. Or rather..I like Cupid. Both her episodes so far have had other storylines that I didn't care for. Anyway. If it weren't for being curious about what Malcolm's going to do to Damien, I actually think I would skip this one. :( 1 Link to comment
Ann Mack March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 LMAO so it just had to be Oliver and Felicity posing as a married couple. Had to be! Hahaha. That sounds terrible and funny and I'm totally gonna watch. This predictable show why couldn't it be Diggle and Laurel? They have being pushing that "friendship" pretty much all season but when they need a fake marriage it just has to be the 2 who just broke up. Sometimes regardless of how much I like Oliver, Felicity and this show I just want to scream GET A DAMN CLUE AND DO BETTER SHOW, DO BETTER!! That's way too close to Smallville for my liking, haha. What happened on Smallville I never finished the series? Thanks. Link to comment
Chaser March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 (edited) Ooookay. Wow. Never would have guessed that. Mind Blown. I'm shocked. Yeah, I'm going with so bad it's good. Hopefully? I'll tune in just to check out the writers. Surprised there is no mention of DD and Laurel. Question for people who may know. Do you think they will hold off on releasing the description for 4x19 till after 4x18 airs? Edited March 4, 2016 by Chaser Link to comment

Cupid knows Dig and Lyla are married. Zatanna sent the gang some magic champagne, they all went crazy and had a ~night of adventures, and everyone woke up with no memory of what had happened.

Yeah I remembered after you said she knows that she and Deadshot were with them on that assignment to save the Senator.

lemotomato March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 (edited) She's not the only one. How do we know they're ot filming? SA mentioned it on facebook. After 88 episodes and over 700 days of production, Arrow finally called an insurance day (Day Off!) on account of the Great Set Flu of 2016. Not me though. Got up early, worked out, had a Belgian ale with lunch and spent the afternoon versing my daughter in the arts of parkour. Best I can tell, the days only half done.

lemotomato March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 (edited) Maybe she was, maybe she wasn't. If she was (which I lean towards), it puts those tweets with EBR in a new light. How could she not know they weren't filming? Because she doesn't work there anymore! I mean, if Friday was really her last day, she wouldn't be up-to-date on what's going on on set.

HighHopes March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 The episode description reminds me of every fanfic pretending to be a couple trope that I love and would have loved to have seen on this show two years ago. Before Oliver and Felicity got together. Now it's just cruel for them to do this, and not just to the fans, but also for the characters. Felicity doesn't deserve this (unless it was her idea), she doesn't deserve to be lied to for months and then forced to offer support to the woman who made her fiance lie to her, and then be forced to pretend to get married. I am really hoping this show handles this episode right, because it could come off as mocking fanfic/fandoms... 14 Link to comment
calliope1975 March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 I do remember excitedly getting the newspaper's weekly TV guide and immediately turning to see the blurb for Lois & Clark every week. I think Roswell was my first online fandom. Anyhoo, I read EBR's tweet about KC. I didn't take away that it had anything to do with filming or being on set. Did I miss something? I thought it was about Skyping. Which is totally a thing that would/could happen if KC was no longer employed by Arrow. 3 Link to comment
wonderwall March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 (edited) When I first saw that, I just figured "Oh KC, you tried" because I thought she was trying to imply she was at work... But if I were desperately looking for clues that she isn't in the grave, I could also see this as some hope. KC didn't claim the photo to be new or to be at work, she just said this is her office, present tense, which can give people some hope. Does that sort of make sense? IDK lol I'm just really tired haha Edited March 4, 2016 by wonderwall Link to comment
Chaser March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 I just find it weird that EBR wouldn't mention that they weren't filming that day due to a super flu bug. Apparently that doesn't happen offen and KC worked with those guys for 4 years. Link to comment
wonderwall March 4, 2016 Share March 4, 2016 Also IDK why I'm so sure that this wedding/ruse idea is Felicity's. She's the kind of person to put her feelings and her life second when it comes to saving the city so it would definitely be in character. 12 Link to comment

Oliver is going to miss what might have been and start running his mouth before he can stop it, and Felicity is shooting herself in the foot with her own plan feelings-wise, believing that they can push their feelings aside for the mission but being completely mistaken. Maybe, like all of the Olicity moments from 409-414, it'll make me forget the details of why they are broken up and just make me focus on the basic facts and feelings of them being broken up and brokenhearted, which I would be ok with until we need to get to the reasoning of them getting back together. 9 Link to comment
