The scarlet letter was her passport into regions where other women dared not tread. Shame, Despair, Solitude! These had been her teachers, stern and wild ones, and they had made her strong, but taught her much amiss.

Once Laurel is suited up he and felicity will be the only ones without a costume, Diggle doesn't even wear a mask half the time just his regular leather jacket or once in awhile a ski mask. Dig needs a costume!

Presumably her or their son. The remaining one would probably have the Soultaker though.

This was my hypothesis through half of season 2, but it was possibly disproven or simply made highly unlikely by her mom showing up and implying that Felicity's dad stuck around for a few years before ditching them.

Also, if both her parents were blond, wouldn't her having black hair be less likely?

Her Mom could die her hair too. She is a vegas cocktail waitress.

She mentioned in season 1 that she is not a natural blond. I assumed her natural color is black due to the flashback, but it could be neither blond nor raven-haired.

I'm pretty sure it's just a shade of brown. The black was almost definitely part of her late teenaged rebellion.

From an interview with Colton about what's next for Roy

quote:

What element of Roy from the comic books would you still love to play?

The drug aspect and the losing an arm. I think Roy's very emotional, and we're toying with that. He's toying with how he's going to cope with his deep issues. And I think that would be fun to do that kind of dark, edgy aspect of it.

Losing one arm moves his horizontal center of balance allowing him to do flips easier.

Given that we have Ray Palmer, I don't doubt that they could go down the "Roy loses an arm, gets a prosthetic one" that ends up being provided by Palmer personally.

I would be much, much happier with them using the Lazarus Pit explanation than most other potential bullshit that they might use to explain a guy who was run through with a sword and thrown off a cliff surviving, but I shall wait and see what they end up going with.

Half the posters in this forum have been made up. This website is a goddamn ghost town.
We'll see. TV writers and actors have flat-out lied so much about future plot developments in interviews, I don't pay attention to these things anymore.

quote:

"We just saw him fall," Amell said when quizzed about how they might justify bringing his character back from the apparent dead on the show. "We’ve seen Oliver survive. So, [we don’t know] whether he went straight off the cliff, whether something broke his fall, whether he hit the ground. We have mystical herbs on the show that have healing powers. We’ve seen a Lazarus Pit, although that’s not something that’s going to be used for Oliver. I hope he survives. I like playing him."

I don't think it's the fall part that people are so hung up on.

To be fair, Oliver got stabbed in the chest as opposed to the heart, which in TV land might as well be a scratch if the writers want it to be. I could see him being recovered right after he fell and slowly nursed back to health with the stab wound being hand-waved away as "a very serious injury that almost killed you" or something similar. I mean, it'd feel pretty cheap to just have Oliver recover from a fight to the death with Ras by putting some scooby-doo bandaids on his wounds and having him take some magic flintstones vitamins, but it certainly isn't unthinkable.

Still, my money's on that quote from Amell being simple misdirection or maybe some kind of technically correct thing where he isn't just dunked in it but gets healed/revived by it anyway.
