Mellowyellow February 19, 2019 Share February 19, 2019 I'm glad Kat addresses the issue of the kids being second fiddle to their parents calling. I cut adult William a lot of slack for that reason. Must sting to know that despite being their child, you're not really enough. Not that I blame Olicity as it is part and parcel of who they are (although S4 showed Oliver could have taken the other road) and obviously for PLOT and show reasons saving the world HAS to be the bigger calling.

I might think something was up if they had revealed Mia is Oliver and Felicity's daughter without revealing that Felicity is pregnant in the current timeline, but I don't know if they'd complicate things like that at this point. There really isn't any point to showing us any future other than the one Star City is currently destined to have, and if they change it because of COIE, then that won't happen until next fall (if it happens at all).

They wouldn't just drop that storyline, right? Maybe she had a few weeks off and chose to move then? It's confusing. It's a 2hr flight from LA to Vancouver so there is no reason for her to be live in Vancouver if she isnt filming full time. Link to comment
Morrigan2575 February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 The title would line up with my expectations for Dinah following her injury. Of course they could be looking for someone else going by Canary. Maybe they're finally introducing Jade Canary 1 Link to comment

Too bad the entire Canary Network can’t be evil. Regarding the 718 title ... if this is the BoP episode, I’m going to laugh if it turns out to be led by/focused on Dinah, not Laurel, after that TVLine headline baited fans into thinking it was all about Laurel. Just because of some fans’ reaction to the headline. I honestly don’t care one way or the other. 1 Link to comment
SleepDeprived February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 There are so many canaries, I really wouldn't know which one they'd be referring to as the "lost" one, honestly. There's Sara, Dinah, technically Laurel's BS, future Zoe? Who is it??! Lmao! That character sucks in every iteration, though, so at least that's consistent. It would be funny if Laurel completes her redemption and dies in 7x18 making her the "lost" canary, though. BS is not anywhere in the ff so she's probably dead. Link to comment
Chaser February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 I think the episode will be about Dinah getting her groove back after the slash in the present (Hince the title) and we will learn more about the Canary Network in the future (all the Canary action figures). 1 1 Link to comment

It's probably a combo of scheduling, JH likely being the lowest paid regularly cast member and the one with the least leverage to make demands - so they use her as the exposition person in the future because no one will care enough for it to be worthwhile to make a mystery of her whereabouts, and she's around so much in the present because they (stupidly IMO) decided to make Oliver a cop. 1 3 Link to comment

JamieLynn832002 February 20, 2019 Share February 20, 2019 I actually think it's possibly both and was in Suicide Squad's case too. DC/WB has them push the property to sort of promote the movie but once the movie actually materializes they pull permission to use the characters/name. I doubt they'll actually lose the characters this time around though. Although I wouldn't exactly be heartbroken if I'm wrong. 3 Link to comment
