statsgirl September 22, 2019 Share September 22, 2019 Looking at it from the perspective of what I would do if I were the showrunner, I think that if I couldn't have Felicity for the whole season, I would put her in only in the last episode or two when she would be there full time. I don't think that I would put her in one or two of the episodes in the middle like WH because it would take away the punch of the ending (and you know how MG likes his gotchas). Tech support doesn't really have a place for Oliver visiting different Earths, fighting strength like Diggle makes much more sense and the COIE episodes are going to be so full of characters from all six shows that there won't really be room for Felicity. (Also I'd be wanting to promote characters from the shows that are continuing rather than ones from the one that is ending). So if EBR is going to make an appearance on the show this season, I don't expect it to be until the last episode or two, and I don't expect the information to be released until the very end because it's going to overwhelm other spoilers 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5619369

But they’re only shooting 807 now and then they have to shoot the crossover so the finale won’t shoot until what, late Oct/early Nov? That’s plenty of time for her to come back to Vancouver for 810, if that’s the plan. And if she is coming back, they still want all the press/buzz right now to be about the season premiere and the crossover. If they announce her return before that, it’ll drown out everything else.

insomniadreams88 September 22, 2019 Share September 22, 2019 (edited) I've said it before, but I just don't want them to write to the people still there, i.e., don't expect us to care as much if we see Dinah, Rene, Laurel, even Diggle (especially considering how much he gave up on Oliver and his family at the beginning of Season 7) mourning for Oliver assuming the future isn't changed and he "dies" — and don't even get me started on anyone on another show, even Sara — as we would seeing Felicity mourning her husband, even if she knows he's only "dead" and she'll get to see him again. Also, I really hope they don't plan on suddenly making Oliver's bonds with everyone left appear to be so strong that they'll be so upset when he's "dead" — especially considering what we've seen from Dinah and Rene in the future. I just don't have high hopes for 809 (or maybe even 810) if they don't get EBR back, don't change the future, and expect us to care about those left behind after Oliver's "death." (I won't even entertain the idea of so much being changed after COIE that Felicity's presence/absence won't matter. I at least trust that Olicity will get a happy-ish ending, whatever that may be — the writers seem to think reuniting after 20 years apart is perfectly fine after all they suffered prior to that — together, with EBR or without EBR around.)

tv echo September 23, 2019 Share September 23, 2019 (edited) I am curious as to how Diggle can travel around the multiverse with Oliver but still be able to resolve his storyline with Lyla/ARGUS and his kids. Is he able to hop back and forth to Earth-1? And if so, why can't Oliver do the same and visit his family? Or maybe Diggle's present day issues are resolved in flashbacks to present day from the flashforwards. 😕 If it turns out that EBR doesn't return for the final season, I hope that fans won't turn on her. We don't know what happens (or happened) behind the scenes. I know that MG said they'd be "darkening her doorstep" and that it's in the show's best interests to have her back, but EBR also said that it wasn't entirely up to her. The point it, I don't trust MG not to throw her under the bus in order to preserve his popularity (such as it is) for his other TV and comics projects. I was trying to figure out Arrow's remaining production schedule. We know from the posted title page that 807 is scheduled to finish filming on October 1. And, according to two papps (@yvrshoots, @lemon_buzz), the show's final production ends on November 14. Therefore, counting forwards and backwards... 808/COIE October 1-23 ? 809 October 23-November 4 ? 810 November 4-14 ? This is just my rough guess. I realize that the papps could be wrong. That does seem like a long shoot schedule for the crossover. It's also possible that crossover filming could overlap with regular episode shoots.

It being "not entirely up to her" could refer to multiple things though (like TPTB and not necessarily MG or Beth's call) or even just a line to cover up reasoning for not coming back (Like CH's "it wasn't up to me" for not being asked back as a series regular, when it seems like it was because of his own personal problems he was let go. Yeah, it wasn't up to CH, but it was hardly a malicious power move from the EPs or TPTB). I would just hope that if she didn't come back that no one would put the blame game on anyone, since I think the most logical explanation would be simply EBR didn't want to rather than foul play (unless there is actual evidence from a source, and even then I would guess it would be more about TPTB refusing to pay the extra amount specifically from EBR's team). 54 minutes ago, tv echo said: This is just my rough guess.

I know Arrow has a history of prioritizing setting up/servicing other CW shows over their own, but to do it when we only have 10 episodes left is a real kick in the pants. Quote The project, which comes from Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros Television, is being set up as a backdoor pilot that will air as episode from the upcoming eighth and final season of Arrow. It will be written by Beth Schwartz, Marc Guggenheim, Jill Blankenship and Oscar Balderrama. I'm assuming it'll be episode 9.

It would be a bummer if William got killed or undone in COIE (never thought I'd say that) or stuck in the future/past without his sister who he just found. And they're going to need an Overwatch. It would be weird to make JDJ and BL regulars and have them in potentially only half of 10 eps. If it is the future they will probably improve the older make up or have it so they look similar to 2020, like the "sexy" dwarves of The Hobbit vs LOTR movies. I'd still go for some sort of reset/merge but wait and see if any other characters new or current are announced I guess. It might be the show KC and JH pitched knowing having KM aboard would help sell it. ETA: Not that it was in doubt but this is official confirmation that Mia becomes the new Official Green Arrow. I bet we get some form of "My Name is Mia Queen" even though she'll probably still go by Smoak in general.

scarynikki12 September 24, 2019 Author Share September 24, 2019 30 minutes ago, Trisha said: I'm beginning to wonder if this actually is the future spinoff -- but they just announced it like this because the CW wants the show to seem female-centered, and because they think KC and JH are more recognizable than any of the other future actors. Susanna Thompson was a big part of the press when Arrow first premiered because she was a "name," but it didn't really reflect the size of her role. I agree. I’m sure there will be some post-Crisis shenanigans that will allow Dinah and Siren to look their actual ages rather than old but they’ll balance the show between all the characters. I’ll even go so far as to posit that one will be the Mandatory First Season Death. And they better bring William and Bronze Kitten on as regulars no matter what their general plans are. William=Oracle (I hate the Overwatch title) and Connor can become Bronze Tiger 2. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626649
Guest September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 I never planned to watch the spin-off anyway, even if it had been Mia centric, but this just made me LMAO. Poor Mia stuck in a show with Dinah, one of the worst characters ever, and whatever version of Laurel they settle on. I am laughing.

William=Oracle (I hate the Overwatch title) and Connor can become Bronze Tiger 2. I could see one of them dying. I guess it will be two bickering Canaries with opposing approaches. Really curious about William and Connor now, especially as they were doing a bit of Mia/Connor last season. JDJ was the first to be announced, I guess Kat's took more time because of Spin off discussion but BL was the last announced. Shrug. Guess it really depends on how and when this is set. There's also Zoe to consider, she's a Canary and in S8 as part of the FFs. I'd rather it be set in the future or future plus shenanigans because it's more likely to mean Felicity's ending with saving the city and going off to find Oliver etc remains intact if they can't get EBR back. It's worth noting that Supernatural has had at least two backdoor pilots, the last one with pretty popular characters that didn't get picked up (Legacies did instead) and so have other shows so it's not a done deal, although this is the Arrowverse. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626712

Starfish35 September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Trisha said: I'm also wondering if it'll be set in the future or if the crossover does some timey-wimey thing that allows a full-grown Mia to be in present day? I can't imagine JH and KC wearing old age makeup on their new show. CW wouldn't launch a new series and have three of their four female leads appearing like they're in their 50s. Yeah, I think bringing Mia back to current day might be more likely. Maybe that timeline gets wiped out by Crisis so Mia gets trapped in the present? Hard pass for me (wow, I really can’t believe they’re giving KC another show) but I feel bad for those who were hoping for a Mia/Conner/William spin-off.

Trisha September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 I'm not sure how planned that was (SA tweeted that the trailer was going to drop about an hour ago) but that took the wind out of the new show announcement's sails in a rather hilarious way. Good to see Talia is back! And is that Lyla fighting the guy with the gun? I guess if Oliver says "this year is repeating himself" then the first episode is him stuck in a time loop, not travelling to a different Earth? 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626747
KenyaJ September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 New Green Arrow, same ol' Canaries. That killed any interest I might have had in the spinoff. But good luck to Kat McNamara.

And hopefully they announce later that Connor and William will be in the show, I still dont understand how they seriously think a show with a DESPISED character as one of the mains Is something fans would watch. Why cant we have Mia William and Connor as the 3 leads? So tone deaf its seriously like Juliana Harkavy has dirt on people 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626836
Primal Slayer September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 Well this was unexpected! A 3some I never expected to headline a show together but....I'm kind of down for it...if it doesn't take place in the future. I'd prefer time displacement but with LoT and Flash, time traveling should be easy to fix unless COIE makes it harder. But this still needs to make it past the pilot so I'm not getting my hopes up that high. If it does get to series....I guess BS may be showrunner? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626860
Chaser September 24, 2019 Share September 24, 2019 I’m genuinely baffled at this combination. These are the fandoms you are trying to appeal too? I cant say I’m surprised KC is involved. She has a vice grip on the network. Including JH is something else though. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/94593-spoiler-discussion-thread-the-final-countdown/page/17/#findComment-5626904
