The Redemption of Black Siren

Image
               Katie  Cassidy posted an  image of herself with a plaster cast  on her head.  People now speculate that his will be for her new mask for the  Redeemed Black Canary. We also know that the next episode of Arrow will be a battle between OTA and NTA.  Dinah and Oliver will have a huge disagreement that will lead to a  battle.  Dinah and the others on her team want to see BS punished for her role in Vincent's death.Oliver and his team believe that everyone, including BS deserves a second chance.  That fits with who these three are as people.  Oliver had a second chance to prove that he could be better.  Diggle had a second chance after he killed his brother.  Felicity knows the value of a second chance that she had with not only Oliver but her own father.  They are family, and you don't give up on family.      Family is the theme this year on Arrow....

Arrow Season 6 Premiere No Olicity Kisses?

Image
          Marc Guggenheim has stated that Oliver and Felicity are on a certain trajectory, and it would be schizophrenic to take them off of it, but how they get there is uncertain.  He did say that in the premiere episode there are no romantic kisses between any  characters.  Now, does that shock you? It did me, because you would think, that if someone you loved was in danger, and you had to search    to find them, would you not kiss them if you did find them?  Several years ago, Arizona experienced a major 100 year flood. I was separated from my husband for 4 days.  He had no clue if we had been air lifted out, or if we were still in our home.  He found a way to get to our house, and the first thing he did when he saw the children and I was to give us us kisses. Are you surprised? Were you hoping for a Felicity and Oliver kiss?

Felicity and Oliver Taking things Slow? And Other Spoilers

Image
I've been out of town and enjoying time away from all technology, and seriously this has been good.  It gives a fresh perspective, but now it's back to work.             According to comicbook.com the big reveal of who made it off the island and who did not, but be a long reveal.  Wendy Mericle has said that by the end of the premiere we would not, but according to comicbook.com, Marc Guggenheim has said it will be a slow reveal. The new season will commence at five months after the explosion with flashbacks showing the minutes before and after the explosion so we may not know who in truth is really dead or alive.  They have Felicity, Curtis, Rene, and Quintin all in jeopardy.  The showrunners have given us too much information on Diggle, Dinah, Oliver, and Slade to know they all made it out safely.  So do any of us seriously entertain the idea that Felicity is dead?  I  don't.  I even doubt that Rene would be de...

Will we meet Diggle's Parents?

Image
I've been gathering information from trusted resources and  found out the following for season 6:          Stephen/Oliver's  first scenes in season 6  are with William.  Probably  as they try to find out who has  lived.  He'll want to try and find William's mother, for the child's  sake. Raisa, as I have indicated  before will  return, probably to  help take care of William. Stephen has teased that assuming  Felicity lives, Oliver and Felicity are in a great  place when season 6 returns. David teases that season  6 will focus on the  significance of familyfor Diggle in terms of Lyla and in terms of Oliver, and one of his parents.  So, we may see either Diggle's mother or father. That would be cool since that will give us more background on Diggle.  Also, Diggle is hurt and hurt worse than anyone imagines.   In episode 2, we may see Black Siren/Laurel Lance and Quent...

Thoughts on Stephen Amells Two Truths and a Lie

Image
I've been thinking about Stephen Amell's two truths and a lie.  To remind the readers the three statements Stephen made were : Oliver and Slade have a talk in present day.  Diggle deploys his gun, it doesn't fire and he misses  someone. Thea and Oliver have a talk in present day.   Stephen has confirmed that Manu Bennett will return in several episodes as Slade Wilson, so unless they are just flashbacks that he will  be in, then this would seem like the likely truth.  Diggle deploying his gun and having it not fire seems rather unlikely knowing Diggle skill as a soldier.  I know military men having been around them all my life, and they know how to keep their weapons in working order, so on the surface this would seem like the lie.    Thea having a talk with Oliver in present day, would be a truth if she survived the island, as we all think.  However I think back to Marc Guggenheim's talk, which you can find on this site, and he said ...

Marc Guggenheim's Talk with Sirius XM

Image
 Marc Guggenheim gives an interview on Sirius XM Radio and he says some interesting things about the show and about the episode Underneath which was one of my personal favorite episodes. Here are some things I took away: Just because the actors have contracts doesn't necessarily mean  they all come out alive They want to try new things, but they must be driven by the story They will do a Topical Episode like the gun violence episode (my least favorite episode) each year. They won't all deal with gun violence, but they will be topical to the news Oliver is going to have a different sense of himself. Oliver will be giving advice for a change instead of needing advice As to the finale episode, death is not the only  consequence that could happen.  He felt the talk about who lives or who dies was too binary.  There are other consequences As to that last point, I wondered if there could be someone who has amnesia.  Does Diggle get taken by someone? ...
