I think they normally must know that Laurel is going to use it and add earpieces accordingly.

Yes, having a very strong villain and a brilliant performance from Neal McDonough is really helping Arrow. But so has losing the angsty romantic plotlines (which is why last week's Arrow was a step back).

Agreed. Laurel's best at being slightly snarky on the sidelines. Pretty much every Laurel-focused story line has been unbearable (and angering) to watch.

I'm really glad they showed Laurel looking happy during the proposal scene at the end. Any sort of Laurel jealousy would have been a bad move.

Yeah, I'm trying to ignore that part.

I think the only episode of Flash that has beaten Arrow so far would be last week's. And that was only because tonally it was basically an episode of Arrow.

There's always an aunt/uncle or a grandparent. Hopefully. Adding a kid to this show would not be a good move.

Killing the kid would be dark, but probably good storywise because of the impact on Oliver and the fact that adding a nine year old kid to a fairly dark superhero show where 90% of the story happens in the middle of the night would suck.

My fear is that Felicity getting through this will have us all feeling a false sense of security and then the writers will go ahead and kill her anyway. That would be unexpected and brutal.

Yeah, but I think we can agree that the one character on this show that is definitely safe until at least the final episode of the final season is Oliver.

Agreed. Barrowman is delightful, but should be used sparingly for maximum effect.

That would super, super dark. Especially given they promised a lighter tone for this season…which has really only involved Oliver being a bit more smiley so far.

We're getting to the point now where I think the showrunners need to gently suggest that the cast stop showing behind the scenes photos on twitter/facebook/instagram until the episodes they're from have aired. That said, you could also tell something was going to happen to Roy last year because Colton Haynes suddenly…

While they showed the grave at the start, they also had Felicity reiterating how long they've been back in Star City - three months. The flash forward was six months later from their return, so the trailer is purely designed to have that most Twitter hashtagging and Tumblring group, Olicity shippers, go into meltdown…

Stephen Amell's wig is not great, but it's not even close to being in the same league as the rest of these.

Firstly, are they actually calling the Underworld Hades? Hades is the king of the Underworld, not the name of it. And I realise that in the scheme of all the things OUAT has screwed around with, this is pretty low on the list of priorities, but STILL.

Hopefully that flat and carefully enunciated voice she used as Dark Swan is just as gone as the hair.

Agreed. How many episodes ago did he proove he was a hero? Like, three?

I didn't enjoy this.

I kind of hate how every immortal character JUST HAPPENS to run into all the historically important people.
