Apparently he is South African and just pretends to be more Scottish than Scrooge as another way to one-up him.

My fanon is that Roxanne was the woman in the interview as well as the journalist later. The reason she sat in the interview was some kind of undercover investigation.

That comic wasn't a must read, but i quite liked it, to be honest.

Good point. He can be mature though, if needed.

Richard Castle for one.

No Malcolm Merlyn? Ignoring your son and having your daughter kill unkowingly while under the influence of a mind control drug to further your convoluted plans certainly qualifys him imho.

Yep, but at least the season got back on it's feet in the last two episodes. (At least imho. YMMV of course).

"The secret origins of felicity smoak" seems to be one of the most polarising episodes of the show so far. Some people called it "one of the worst", other "one of the best" episodes.
Personally, i liked it.

You should keep up with the payments though, else your home could be repossessed.
