Or maybe Felicity Queen. Who died at the alter. Right after the vows. Because they just can't not touch the emo grimdark.

Am I misremembering- didn't they set up (in Arrow S2 and Flash S1) that Ollie had had a child with someone he cheated on Laurel with before the Island? Could be the mother and/or child- cause for angst without actually losing any cast members we currently care about.

Might be a little dark to bring them in and immediately kill them off.

Like 50 percent sure.

I really hope they DON'T kill Felicity because I kinda like them together and I hate the comic book "I CAN ONLY BE WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN DEFEND THEMSELVES" plot.

David D. Davidson: Nov 17, 2012; Orca lady?

I honestly hope that it gets to be a running gag this season that every time Ollie tries to propose to Felicity they get interrupted by a crisis.
"felicity will you m-?'
"count Vertigo's back!"
"Dammit"

Ollie has a kid but IIRC he doesn't know because his mom paid her to leave town.

Not planning stuff out all the way works pretty well sometimes considering Felicity wasn't originally going to be a regular.

Dead Snoopy: Mar 23, 2005

In all likelihood, they have an idea of where they want it to go but are keeping the options open up to and including mid-season for fan feedback.

DrVenkman: Dec 28, 2005; I think he can hear you, Ray.

That final scene with Barry was so weirdly choppy. It feels like it ran longer and they cut a chunk out of the middle. It could just be poor editing though.

Anyway, I appreciated that it just kicked into action right off. Usually they take a few episodes to lay out their big bad.

Sadly this is the case. I know it's the name in the comics, but I think Star City is a stupid and generic-sounding name for a city, especially compared to Starling City. Plus now we have Star City on Arrow and STAR Labs on Flash. Too many stars!

I really want Vertigo to come back multiple times and each time he gets killed with even more arrows than the last.

They are generic. Coast City, Hub City, Central City, Metropolis, even Gotham. They're not names, they're adjectives.

I agree, I like them together too. Felicity and Oliver had much better chemistry than Laurel and Oliver. They fit better all around imo. I also think Laurel deserves to make her own way outside of Oliver Queen.

Although after last season it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that Oliver can still like Felicity.

Hal Jordan is such an rear end in a top hat, I hope if he appears in this season, he is played by William Zabka or something.

Oliver and Felicity together is much, much more enjoyable to watch than Oliver and Felicity getting together was.

Yeah I hope they just treat it the way they treat Diggle. They're just in a relationship, don't try and drive wedges between them at every opportunity.

Last season was ridiculous for all the hurdle jumping they had to do, not to mention her and Palmer were just the better fit.

For real grimdark its the kid that he didn't even know he had that Moira shuffled off to Flashtown.

Actually since Barry is also there that makes way more sense.

Good first episode.

Random thoughts: Thea's superhero crouch above the warehouse was silly, moreso in that leather. Olly's reveal of 'the green arrow' was also very silly.
