Arrow titles tend to be quite generic anyway and it doesn't seem to have changed much this season. Even if there was a big twist and a title of "Tragedy" etc, it still doesn't tell us much. 7 Link to comment
apinknightmare October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 I loved when she blacked out the title for 7x04 and when "Level Two" was announced no one knew exactly what it meant, LOL. This is all so stupid. 9 Link to comment
lemotomato October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 I didn’t know that Bamford was directing 707; is he directing the Arrow episode in the crossover too? That would give him 3 out of the first 9 episodes. ? 7 Link to comment

way2interested October 1, 2018 Share October 1, 2018 The episode titles get revealed in the press release anyway, 3 weeks before the episode comes out, so what would be the difference between know the title of 704 before 701 or the week of 701, etc.? 4 Link to comment
way2interested October 2, 2018 Share October 2, 2018 This actress Sea Shimooka posted on her instagram about filming a shirtless scene last week after following SA and the Arrow instagram and SA and other crew members followed her. After a fan tagged her for Arrow, she set her instagram to private. Might be the Koonami character? Link to comment

Mary0360 October 2, 2018 Share October 2, 2018 Maybe Beth has made her mind that the reason the last few seasons have been so poorly recieved is due to spoilers and not the fact that they are increasingly mediocre writers who value repetitive plot driven writing over logical characterisation? 9 Link to comment
kes0704 October 2, 2018 Share October 2, 2018 Half the fun of getting teases or episode titles is in speculating about what they might mean and reading everyone’s theories. I don’t need to know the whole script - just a little something to keep my level of interest up after a long hiatus. All the secrecy might also have the side affect of setting expectations for the episodes too high and people will end up disappointed if those expectations aren’t met. 5 Link to comment
Featherhat October 2, 2018 Share October 2, 2018 Unless the 'new' narrative has a huge impact on the first few eps there's no point. They've already done a 'shocking' flash forward before so even if it's 'watch how this unfolds throughout the season' there's no reason not to drop no hints whatsoever. It's not even the titles, which are as bland as always, there's almost complete radio silence apart from SA's SM and that is 90% about the beard. With the titles maybe Beth is just enjoying the gentle trolling? Link to comment

Angel12d October 3, 2018 Share October 3, 2018 (edited) Actual pictures to speculate over? Whaaaat?! ? Is this for 708? So it's technically the midseason episode? I have no idea what kind of fancy event they'd be having. I'd be surprised if SA and EBR aren't filming too, though. Those big event scenes usually include everyone. Gotta admit I'm bummed Curtis is still around. Or any of NTA tbh. My immediate reaction to any of them is UGH. LEAVE (even though I know they're going nowhere). ?

Terrible, terrible way to get people anticipating the new season. My first thought on looking at that picture of RG, JH and EK all on their phones was that while android phones have brought a lot, they've also taken away a lot. A break in shooting should be a chance to talk to other people, your fellow cast, the crew who works on the show, and get to know them as people, maybe walk around a bit, but they're glued to the fake intimacy of their phones.

Maybe they’re busy scrolling through fans’ timelines looking for untagged tweets to respond to. Wasn’t there supposed to be a nightclub scene? That last photo looks nightclub-ish to me. Is the new narrative going to put Oliver and Felicity together and leave Digg to babysit the n00bs? I’m slightly ashamed to say i’ll take it. 6 Link to comment

All I know is I better not see Rene near a microphone or giving any sort of speech. Or Curtis. Or Dinah. Or Black Siren (because who knows at this point, especially if she’s still DA). From now on, the only ones allowed to talk about Oliver and/or Felicity are Oliver, Felicity, William, Diggle (but not S6 Diggle) and Raisa. Maybe even post-mirakuru, forgetting about S3 Slade. 4 Link to comment

tv echo October 3, 2018 Share October 3, 2018 (edited) Posting this article here (instead of in the Starling City Times thread) because it mentions spoilers... EW's Fall TV comics reading guide for viewers interested in going beyond the screen CHANCELLOR AGARD and CHRISTIAN HOLUB October 02, 2018https://ew.com/tv/ews-fall-tv-comics-reading-guide/ Quote If you watch Arrow...then read Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino's run on Green Arrow (2011-2016) ... Given that Arrow will introduce the Longbow Hunters in season 7, you may be tempted to read Mike Grell’s very ‘90s miniseries Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters in order to prepare for the new season. But we’re here to warn you that said miniseries actually has nothing to do with Ricardo Diaz’s (Kirk Acevedo) deadly group of assassins. If you want to learn more about the Longbow Hunters, your best bet is to read Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino’s critically acclaimed run on Green Arrow, which ran from issues 17 to 34. Start with Green Arrow, Vol. 4: The Kill Machine and then move onto Vol. 5: The Outsiders War, and finally Vol. 6: Broken, which sees Oliver Queen go head to head with Dragon and the hunters. Not only will this run expose you to two of the Longbow Hunters (Kodiak and Red Dart), but it’s also a fun read thanks to Lemire’s sprawling story, which brings a new sense of mythology to the New 52 version of the Emerald Archer, and Sorrentino’s dynamic and striking artwork that’s well-suited for the story many’s tonal twists and turns. Furthemore, Arrow has borrowed from Lemire/Sorrentino’s run a few times already, so this series is worth a read anyway. — Chancellor Agard Edited October 3, 2018 by tv echo Link to comment

Yeah, it is a conflict that actually MAKES SENSE. Truly the biggest s7 plot twist so far. They are probably both hyper-focused on stopping this dude who is the reason someone they both care about very much is in prison and both think their way is the way to go (Diggle probably with the logic of the team can't act in this situation while Argus can give them what they need, Felicity probably with the logic of so far Argus/FBI haven't done anything). Also, bless Oliver's heart for trying to get back at Diaz for going after his family while still in prison. 5 Link to comment
KenyaJ October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 Rebecca Bellotto co-wrote 519, which was one of my favorite episodes, so Now I'm even more excited for this episode. I just really like it when Felicity takes matters into her own hands. And I'm also really excited for the Felicity/Diggle conflict. They've never had much conflict with each other, and I know it won't veer into anything personal, so I'm all for them butting heads, though Diggle should know better than to think he can deter Felicity. I don't know why these boys won't learn! 12 Link to comment
Angel12d October 4, 2018 Share October 4, 2018 (edited) I wonder if this leads to Felicity asking Watson for help in the following episode? Wasn't SN in 703? I could see Felicity asking Diggle and her old team members for help but they can't/won't help her for whatever reason so by the end she knows she needs to go to someone else.

Wasn't SN in 703? Yeah, she's in 703. Actually, I'm wondering the opposite in this case, considering that the episode is titled "Crossing Lines." Part of me wonders if Watson finds out whatever Felicity does in 702 and then tells her to stop (the snippet of the script at least looked potentially contentious), which then leads to one of the "crossing lines" parts of the plot. 1 Link to comment
BkWurm1 October 5, 2018 Share October 5, 2018 4 hours ago, KenyaJ said: Episode description for 702. The way they phrase it, "can no longer rely on her...old methods" and being clear-eyed and resolved to find a new way really does sound like we are going to get something completely different. If she has no back up anymore (the NTA or Diggle) and Argus is getting in her way, then I can see her either aligning herself to another agency (like Watson and the FBI) or outsourcing like Alena did and hiring her own team. No matter what happens, I am sooo ready for it. Felicity is no one to mess with so I expect her to push lines so yeah, now I'm expecting really good stuff for her in episode 3 as well. Which seems like it's too good to be true! But it seems like it's true! What is this feeling? :D 6 Link to comment
