Sober posted:While I'm excited I'm worried about how S6 onwards will go. Will it just become generic superhero fodder? Half the charm was the 5 years vs 5 years format (as dumb as the flashbacks got). Feels like all the major Oliver Queen character study beats will or should be done with by the end of it. I'd imagine the framing for S6 will focus more on the team and their issues going forward and away from Ollie's. Obviously they'd drop the year for year flashbacks, but I imagine they'd still do flashbacks when relevant to the character being focused on. Is Black Siren promised for S6? If so, I'd really hope for an Earth 2 flashback for her.

Could do what several goons have suggested and shut down "Arrow" and reboot as "Arrow and the Outsiders" as a more heavily ensemble show now that the flashback framework is done with.

Or they could just rotate flashbacks for the other characters. I wouldn't mind getting some more stories centered on the rest of the cast.

I'm still baffled why they think two canaries is a good thing. I'm really really hoping that's not a misdirect.

Oh yeah, there'd be nothing stopping character-centric flashback stuff from continuing. I just know a lot of goons have suggested that the increased cast and team this year was moving things towards something in the comics where the Arrow basically has his own team called the Outsiders, or something like that. Rebranding the show to better show that state and that it shifted away from the specific framework of Ollie and his 5 years, as told in flashbacks, would make some sense.

That sizzle reel has me so hyped for next week. I'd hoped that there'd be a similar one for Flash but it doesn't look like it.  The Guest Cast list is going to take up half the episode.

Alternatively, they could just use flashback time to have concurrent stories taking place in the present that eventually meet up at the end of the season.

I miss Roy just because it felt like he was barely Arsenal at all with all the Mirakuru/I killed a cop drama. I'm rewatching the show right now though and am on Season 2 so it could just be my memory playing tricks on me. He leaves before the end of Season 3 though, right?

I don't think Arrow should be rebranded. If they wanted to rebrand it, I think the best new name would be Green Arrow.

I don't think anyone seriously means renaming the show. I don't think. Just that thematically they should probably put a period on the five years of Oliver's stories and pain and the book and secrets and island and everything else, and just start a new chapter with "Green Arrow and the Outsiders."

I mean, yeah, that's the entire point of the "Outsiders" thing. Is that getting lost in translation somehow? Batman's side team is the Outsiders. Oliver is Bootleg Batman. Oliver's team should be the Outsiders. I mean, there's an Arrow side character right on that cover. Bonus points if CW ads Black Lightning to the universe. And I can't wait for Metamorpho. edit: There's actually 2 Arrow side characters on that cover. I missed Firestorm. And well, Barry too, I guess. But 1 Outsider who is an Arrow side character. Oh poo poo, they went to Markovia too. Was G-Force there? Also didn't "Dibny" get dropped somewhere in Flash/Arrow? drat, they reference a lot of comic stuff.

Guys! Guys! Next season should have...flashforwards! And then Season 7 should have...flashsideways! This is a totally original idea don't steal thanks. Also, imagining Batman saying "I've had enough of your two-bit Justice League!" In everything from a Conroy voice to a Bale voice might be the funniest thing I've encountered in a while and totally made my day!

Most people stop at doubling-down. Manu Bennet is not most people and will quadruple-down.

I'm guessing it'll start not too long after he breaks with Bruce and discards the Robin identity. I imagine they'll also ignore one of the naming origins that involves Kryptonian mythology. Here's hoping this is what they were saving Blue Beetle for

Argh I hate Felicity. Somehow this episode made that even worse. Argh. e: I really hope her realization here is going to be "whoops sacrificed my integrity to have it literally blow up in my face" but no, it's going to be more cry-talking and hypocritical speeches. Who is writing this character now? Can we ship them to an ARGUS black site?
