Featherhat September 5, 2019 Share September 5, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, Trisha said: It wouldn't make since to resent the flashforwards before the crossover...right? (She asks hopefully...) It briefly flashed through my mind that they mind do something annoying like reset the entire universe for some reason so that some crucial things are different with no explanation needed, which always frustrates me (especially if I liked those things). However I think that's more likely (almost certain) during/after Crisis than 2 episodes before it. Unless Oliver's experiencing a dream world like the 100th or a "time loop" ep (that would be pushing it for Arrow I think). If the FFs specifically get reset I think that would be after COIE as well with 2 eps of fallout afterwards. I don't think they'd let their Baby Team Arrow go after only 6 eps even if there's no intention of a potential spin off. I'm almost certainly overthinking things and it's not a huge deal. It's a fairly common ep title anyway and Arrow's titles can get pretty generic to what the episode actually deals with. And we don't know which of potentially three storylines it actually deals with, though the Funko Pops seem to be more FFs than Oliver and Dig, they could be SC19. Should be interesting to keep an eye on guest stars for though.

tv echo September 7, 2019 Share September 7, 2019 (edited) The Flash's Candice Patton Says Oliver Queen's Death Will Be Devastating By AARON PERINE - September 6, 2019 https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/09/07/the-flashs-candice-patton-says-oliver-queens-death-will-be-devastating/ Quote Season 6 of The Flash is almost here, and fans can't wait for the show to start up this fall. Candice Patton plays Iris West on the series, and she's happy to be back with Team Flash. But, things are going to get darker this season in the Arrowverse. Oliver Queen and Arrow started it all at the CW, but the character's time is growing short. The final season of that show is here as well, and the main character sounds like he won't be making it out alright. Patton told Comicbook.com her reaction to Oliver Queen's demise. "He's so beloved in all of these cities and by all of these superheroes. I think its going to be devastating. I mean, it's Oliver Queen. You can't replace Oliver Queen, you just can't," She said. The loss of Stephen Amell's character wasn't the only thing Patton talked about in the interview. She also had a lot to say about how influential Arrow was during its run. The Flash star mentioned that Oliver Queen's adventures on The CW paved the way for the storytelling that they're doing now on their show. For her, there is a reason it is called the Arrowverse. The legacy Arrow left is something to be proud of, and the remaining shows are going to send the cast off right. "It’s really weird, I didn’t notice that until someone said it earlier. We’re the senior class now, it’s crazy," Patton explained. "You have to give credit to Arrow, they’re the ones who started this. This show, this cast, these producers. They laid the groundwork for what makes these shows successful and we followed the template. We did our own thing, but they really figured out, through trial and error, what makes a show last for eight seasons. We owe them a lot for giving us a pathway to be successful."

Plus it would confuse audience and characters alike to have both Dinah and Black Siren going by Black Canary. Better to keep Black Siren's name as is and just say she's a member of the Canary Network once Dinah has it up and running. I do hope hey have her still going by Black Siren on Earth 2 rather than just taking the Black Canary name. Keeping the former allows her to demonstrate to the general public that she's trying to atone for her crimes whereas taking on Black Canary, in addition to just being a continuation of her stealing Laurel's life, would be just another mask since there's no indication that the Earth 2 general public knows her identity. Which I'm sure means that she's running around telling everyone that she's Black Canary with no mention of her criminal past and hoping no survivors of Zoom's reign of terror notice that his top henchlady looks a lot like this new vigilante with the exact same powers. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/15/#findComment-5591427

Which is a shame because Moira was at her most interesting self (imo) when she was manipulative and cunning because she loves her children fiercely. When she shares those sentimental saccarine scenes with Oliver like in the 100th ep, it hides her complexity. I hope they won't do it again. This is a shot in the dark but I'm hoping she realizes that's not her Oliver by the end of the episode. Maybe they can finally have an honest conversation and earth-whatever Moira can also get closure knowing at least one version of Oliver got to come home and build a life and a family like she had wanted for him.

And whether that's local thugs or cosmic beings, it's still the same position for John Diggle. Like, we can get through this. Um, that's going to prove challenging obviously with Crisis On Infinite Earths and the crossover, which - which, by the way, every single episode is gearing up for. Like, that's kind of - um, we're all at a race in very episode up to that crossover. ... I almost don't know what's going to happen in 9 and 10. I don't really. I know a little bit of 10.

tv echo September 11, 2019 Share September 11, 2019 (edited) ETA: ETonline subsequently corrected their article as marked below. The more I read about the final season, the less enthused I become... 'Arrow' Boss Says It's 'Surreal' Writing Series Finale: 'There's Going to Be a Lot of Tears' (Exclusive) By Philiana Ng 10:00 AM PDT, September 11, 2019https://www.etonline.com/arrow-boss-on-series-finale-theres-going-to-be-a-lot-of-tears-exclusive Quote * * * While Arrow's farewell season doesn't officially kick off for another month, the writers have already begun working on the final episode of the series -- and the reality that the end is near is starting to hit home. "In the [writers'] room [Monday], we started working on the series finale so it felt very real," showrunner Beth Schwartz confessed to ET, which exclusively debuts a new photo featuring members of original Team Arrow the original Arrow cast, Oliver (Stephen Amell), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy Rodgers), all suited up and ready for battle. "I couldn't believe it. Just saying it, it felt a little bit surreal. Towards the end of every season, we start breaking what's happening next season and this year, there isn't a next season. It feels very strange." Unlike previous seasons, the CW superhero drama only has 10 episodes to wrap up its eight-year run and Schwartz shared that she and the other producers are treating these final 10 episodes like a "greatest hits" album. Though they've "always had a plan for the series finale," Schwartz revealed that the plan for the series' swan song has evolved since this season started. "Now that it's here, we're obviously going to add more things that did evolve from this season specifically," she said, adding that she and fellow executive producer Marc Guggenheim haven't shifted on "where we wanted to end it." * * * "This season is definitely a reflection of all the previous seasons," Schwartz said. "The premiere is very nostalgic of the pilot and of season one, visiting those sets, like Queen mansion, that we all love and we all have [people] we've tried to bring back a few times -- those characters that were really there from the very beginning and helped to create this series and what made it so successful." Crafting those pivotal final scenes with characters like Moira and Tommy didn't prove challenging for the writers, Schwartz promised. Instead, they provided new opportunities to these key characters -- many of whom died valiant deaths over the course of the series -- proper goodbyes. Other familiar faces popping in for one last go include Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra), Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman), Tatsu Yamashiro (Rila Fukushima) and Yao Fei Gulong (Byron Mann). "It felt nostalgic and kind of perfect for the end of the series to have these final scenes with these characters we haven't seen in a while. It felt right that this is how we should end the season and it was fun to write for Moira again and to write for Tommy and all the characters we wrote for eight years ago," she said. "It felt natural." * * * Schwartz revealed that there is one other thing that will be different this season on Arrow: There will be a new introduction voiced by Amell for the show's final run. "Yes, we will have a new one this season," she said. "We had a new one last season and there will be a new one this year as well. It's the last one." Production is past the midway point on the final season, a fact Schwartz still hasn't quite wrapped her head around. "It definitely feels like this is the right time for the series to end, but I feel like it's not going to feel quite real until that last script of the finale comes out. And then I feel like there's going to be a lot of tears," she admitted. "I'm sure it'll be the same thing on the last day of filming on set. That's when it's going to feel even more real when we're actually going through it."

It was scripted to the group, but I wanted to make sure, going into season 8, that it was actually to her and that they shook hands, because as character I purposefully never called her Laurel until that moment. So her being the mix this year, it’s been a lot of fun. I think she’s nailing it.” In the video that accompanies the article, SA mentions that the Monitor will put him through some sort of "test" in episode 7 before the crossover.

olicityfan25 September 13, 2019 Share September 13, 2019 Yeah, no to that entire premise. How pathetic it is they can't figure out something else to do but have to throw a bone to the ones that have been bashing the show for forever. You can tell there are slim pickings for this final season. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/15/#findComment-5598122
insomniadreams88 September 13, 2019 Share September 13, 2019 Yeah, I’m not particularly looking forward to more than a couple scenes of Oliver, Diggle, and Laurel (and only partly because of the reaction that’s guaranteed to get from some fans). That dynamic just doesn’t interest me. I also doubt there will be a decent in-story reason for Laurel joining them if it’s not just on Earth-2. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/15/#findComment-5598319
Primal Slayer September 13, 2019 Share September 13, 2019 I'm excited can't wait to see their dynamic. If my theory of E2 biting the dust in the premiere, it'd be a perfect motivation.

Yeah, it's like how Antonio was supposed to direct 414 but had to drop out right before then too. Like, I get once it gets close it's easier to just use Bamford, but I still miss the director that was supposed to be there (especially, yeah, I liked 622, and I liked what she did in 720 as well). 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/15/#findComment-5599052

Transcribed from the video in this article... -- SA: "When we're doing 22 episodes or 23 episodes, as we did for the first six years, we're very serialized, you know. And obviously there's a - there's a throughline for this year, but every episode feels unique. Episode 1 is like Season 1. Episode 2 is about a very specific part of Season 3... Every episode feels like an event." -- DR: "Diggle is, as he should be, at Oliver's side. That's how we begin this season. And ultimately that's how we end it." -- DR: "It's the three of them. Oliver, Laurel and Diggle. A good chunk of what we're doing will be with the three of them, um, in a way that they haven't been before." -- SA: "I don't know what the test is per se. I think the biggest thing is, is just him believing Felicity when she says, ‘Whatever happens, whatever happens to you, I’ll find you.’ That’s his guiding light." -- DR: "We had our first day on the set and we're in the same area where Felicity usually is, and it was just a noticeable absence." -- SA: "He might face a test, apparently in episode 7, which is our last episode before the crossover." -- SA: "This final season is more about resolve." -- DR: "I think there's something in the Monitor that - that brings this Crisis that hasn't happened before. It's a five-show crossover. All these shows are kinda gonna to be together. And I'm a geek. I'm a - I'm a fan of the show. I remember growing up and wanting to see the Bionic Woman team up with the Six Million Dollar Man, you know what I mean? And now we have like a five or six show - it's a crazy amount of characters. Logistically, we're going to approach it the same way we approach every single crossover, which is gonna be, 'there is no way this is gonna happen,' and then it happens, we watch it and go, 'wow, look what we just did.' So I'm looking forward to that."

tv echo September 14, 2019 Share September 14, 2019 (edited) If you're freaked out about these latest comments from SA and DR, here's a new Watchover podcast from Jen (jbuffyangel) and Calli, in which they talk about the latest spoilers and speculate about what's coming in S8. I don't know if they'll prove to be right or wrong, but they're always interesting to listen to (although I find Jen's voice often abrasively loud)...
