    so that´s why Felicity and Oliver won´t go to second date, she will get hurt and Oliver will blame himself

    ReplyDelete
  6. Surefire way to piss Oliver off? Attack the people he cares about. Surefire way to make him hunt you down and slaughter you? Attack Felicity.



    After that promo I almost feel sorry for whoever did that to her. A whole lot of pain is coming your way dumbass.

    no footage of thea or Malcolm......wish we have more footage

    ReplyDelete
  8. Huh, it said Star City on the screen

    ReplyDelete
  9. Emily Bett and Katie Cassidy not attending the panel. I am disappointed. Willa and JOhn Barrowman is there though.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Oliver is clearly going to have a crisis about having a life while being a hero. This might be what makes him tell Diggle that he can't be in the field with a baby otw. Same reason he won't actually date Felicity. Felicity's flirting with Palmer might be her trying to get back at Oliver for trying to "protect her"..


    It feels a bit cheesy in the promo but it is just a promo.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Caity, Emily and Katie will be there tomorrow at the WB thingy.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I know. But still :( I loved last years panel with these ladies. Now only Willa. She looks beautiful in the photo on twitter.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Yeah EPs or production really messed it up a bit, they should have admited who is not coming, not 3 hours before, some fans were very desolate and angry in room 20.

    ReplyDelete
  14. New footage begins from the 1 minute mark, BTW.

    ReplyDelete
  15. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 02:03

    Don't know where to put this but they wanted to use Ted Kord but not allow to......

    ReplyDelete
  16. Holy crapola!! No words! So good!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Looks awesome!


    There's a hell of a lot of Sara/Canary in that promo considering she's only signed for three episodes. Wonder if they're setting her up for a spin-off.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Sounds great. Cannot wait for season 3 to start.... Glad that Sara is in the promo.

    ReplyDelete
  19. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 02:26

    anyone want to guess what LAurel meant by business partner.........she isn't leaving the DA office.... right

    ReplyDelete
  20. But in an upcoming episode, we'll start getting Felicity flashbacks to her time at MIT!



    The first episode they do that is titled "Oracle" :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. he catches them and maybe she prosecutes them.

    ReplyDelete
  22. This years panel was kind of meh... Nothing new much other than what we heard in the interviews. I thought they will reveal Laurel's new love interest. Felicity flashback news is good. Don't know how to feel about "Oracle". They are still stealing Batman mythology. Why not give her a new monicker. Isn't she coming to GA comics. Or will they introduce Barbara Gordon in the episode?

    ReplyDelete
  23. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 02:40

    with Kate Cassidy not there........I guess we just have to wait until tomorrow

    ReplyDelete
  24. who do you think they will bring as her LI/mentor? since Ted Kord is out of the question

    ReplyDelete
  25. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 02:44

    Ted Grant is Wildcat Ted Kord is blue beetle

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ted Grant may be..

    ReplyDelete
  27. i am getting all confused already :). So i am guessing he doesn't appear in the first episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Re watched the trailer. I liked the energy of Ray Palmer. He looks like a smooth operator. Loved the Hong Kong flashbacks. The look is so good. Martial arts will be amazing this season with Asian artists. #daddy Diggle issues already. I am glad to see Oliver being more open to Felicity this season about his past. No Thea or Malcolm *sad:(*

    ReplyDelete
  29. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$#%^&%$^&@$#&*(^%$#@%&*()&^%$#^&*(^%$#%^&*() OMFG WTF WAS THAT?!?!?!!!!!!!!! SOOOOO EPIC!!!!! AND FELICITY IS NOT DEAD!!!! SEASON 3 EPICNESS!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Juliana Carvalho26 July 2014 at 02:52

    I'm actually really excited about the flashbacks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm with you. I was expecting something much bigger but they revealed almost everything before comic-con.


    It is possible they will reveal something big at the huge DC panel tomorrow(Amell is moderating).

    ReplyDelete
  32. I hope so. Last year's panel was so entertaining. John Barrowman or Willa could not say anything about their characters. What is the point of the panel then?

    ReplyDelete
  33. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 03:05

    any chance we get extended version without season 2 footage

    ReplyDelete
  34. This are episodes one and two right? damn looks awesome

    ReplyDelete
  35. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 03:20

    it only episode 1 more than likely....episode 2 just started shooting this week

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'm excited about EVERYTHING!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. It's just footage of episode 1.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ted Kord/Blue Beetle was mentioned in several episodes of both seasons of Arrow. He is the owner of Kord industries which the clock king hit to get that universal key. Arrow producers wanted to bring in Ted Kord as new owner of QC and Felicity's LI. But they were denied and so they went for Ray Palmer/Atom.


    Now Ted Grant/Wild Cat is a boxer turned hero who trained BC in the comics. Since Stephen posted a photo in a boxing ring everyone is expecting Ted Grant to come as the new person in Laurel's life and train her to be BC.


    Since they are mum on the issue who knows? The love intereset may come after few episodes maybe.

    ReplyDelete
  39. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 03:36

    I think it obvious that Vertigo attacks Felicity and Oliver dinner......and she get hurt

    ReplyDelete
  40. Epic!!!! So glad to see that Sara is back!! :) can't wait!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sorry, they have to pander to Olicity shippers.

    ReplyDelete
  42. This looks beyond epic - can not wait for this season!

    ReplyDelete
  43. "YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY! BOOM!!!!! YES!!! BRING IT!!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. They ALWAYS reveal much more at the SDCC...i seriously can't wait to watch the panel tomorrow!!! I can't believe i made it. lol i lated this long! Was going through some serious withdrawal. I even started writing a fanfiction. lol (my first one ever).

    ReplyDelete
  45. So Starling City could become Star City. Finally!

    ReplyDelete
  46. they already said at season 2 finale, that Thea will be missing for few episodes due to the training with Malcom. So they had that planned for a while. And Barrowman has some other obligations.

    ReplyDelete
  47. And he says they can't go out, and then she starts dating Palmer Oliver gets jealous and realizes he was wrong, and I die a little inside.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Seriously they haven't said anything about her being called Oracle. Role wise yes, but that's to be expected given they can't use Gordon and her role on Team Arrow. Shouldn't jump to conclusions. They won't introduce Gordon thanks to Gotham and Fox.

    ReplyDelete
  49. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 03:59

    and QC become Queen Industries... like in the comics

    ReplyDelete
  50. More teasing given they'll rip any chance of them apart in episode 1. Even then they've never pandered. Pandering would be having them make out and become couply about 20 episodes ago.

    ReplyDelete
  51. You haven't even seen Ray for more than three seconds.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Yep and it'll be so awkward.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I'm so happy it's back.

    ReplyDelete
  54. That too. Those changes really bugged when I watched the pilot two years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  55. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 04:13

    I don't expect we will get anymore footage but just info from interviews

    ReplyDelete
  56. this trailer looks amazing! So intense great! Felicity seems to get hurt at the date!

    ReplyDelete
  57. When he said it this past season i was so happy!! I missed that!! Like sometimes i use that. My friends have no idea what i'm talking about. (only few watch the show). And sometimes i'll use it to myself, like say if i'm making toast but i left it in too long and it gets burnt, i'll be all...."You have failed this breakfast." Ctfu!!

    ReplyDelete
  58. That's what i meant. Just more interviews. This is the only footage we're getting. I already knew that. = )

    ReplyDelete
  59. Lol that's hilarious. I do that all the time, except with Shiny (it means cool in Firefly).

    ReplyDelete
  60. You clearly aren't aware that them simply staring at each other is enough to make them go nuts.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Oh I am. But that's not pandering. That's audience interpretation. What's more many Olicity fans want more then the minor teasing and jerking they throw them.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Bodies are gonna drop, fast.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I doubt it but a birds of prey spin-off would be even better. But then I remembered that failed spin-off from 10 years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Why they didn't just start that from the pilot, was it the rights to the name or something?

    ReplyDelete
  65. That's because They aren't in the first few episodes and they've only started filming episode 2 or 3 :/ But I get the feeling Thea/Malcolm will have a big arc this season :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 07:28

    do you know if they broadcast interview or do we have to wait until after.....or monitor twitter

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh no!!! Poor Felicity. I'm scared, she looked really banged up! And Oliver's face!! This is not going to be good. Also I really really HATE Waller. She's such a pain...

    ReplyDelete
  68. hahahah thanks! I didn't watch that but great to know i'm not the only one. = p

    ReplyDelete
  69. No, you'll only see it after. anddd Stephen is doing a LIVE Nerd HQ Sunday morning. at 9am.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Well Felicity is NOT dead. She's unconscious. Most likely from the bomb (or some type of explosion) from the date they were on. I'm assuming Oliver went to stop whoever, and pushed her out the way but she got hurt anyway, and he took her back to the lair. But she will wake up, b/c she says "still not the worst date i been on." So that's when he'll console her then when he takes her home, after fixing her up, then he'll have to pull away from her. Orrr he'll take her to the hospital also and she'll say that on the hospital bed. That's my theory.

    Waller pisses me off too. When she revealed to Dig that he was going to be a father, i thought that was so lame. Her standing there with two guns posing for like ten minutes with a serious face before she actually said it. Ugh, i wanted him to shoot her. lol

    ReplyDelete
  71. Hahah I know she isn't dead, but still it will be crazy. Yeah I wish Oliver could have at least taken her down a peg or two

    ReplyDelete
  72. IGN is live sreaming Arrow cast interview. check out their site.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Thanks for the reply. I don't understand why everyone is accusing me of jumping to conclusions. I am speculating on the spoilers given just like everyone else.:) I never said I wanted her to be Oracle. Already a part of Arrow fandom accuses Felicity as a Oracle knock off. They used this title for that episode so that mere mortals like us will sit and chat about it. I am sure I am not the only who had a thought like this...

    ReplyDelete
  74. I love to hate Waller. She is so deliciously cold and ruthless. I like such characters.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Still there is no one saying that she'll be called Oracle. Really people are saying that? That's ridiculous.

    ReplyDelete
  76. I love Caity Lotz but I don't think she has the acting chops to carry a show on her shoulders.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Apparently it was or realism or something like that.

    ReplyDelete
  78. i don't even know where to start...this was SO good.!
    i can't get enough of oliver's goofy grin after he asked felicity out x3 i also love the fact that he tells her about China, i think that's a pretty big deal...
    aparently felicity is going to get hurt on their date and that's the reason why it's going to stay on that one date for now...
    i think we all expectet Oliver to say something about digg going on the field and he's reaction wasn't really a surprise either...that's going to be a intresting talk
    i can't wait to see ray palmer.!
    ps. roy looks good in his suit :P

    ReplyDelete
  79. i somwerhe heard that there are going to be falshbacks of felcity, do you know if that's true?
    'cause that would be so amaizing.!

    ReplyDelete
  80. for real.?
    i can't wait to see these.! finally a bit of felicity's backstory x3

    ReplyDelete
  81. i hope not(.!) but it probaly will..

    ReplyDelete
  82. Are Willa and John series regulars?

    ReplyDelete
  83. Red Arrow suit looks great! Ollie needs a new tailor...

    ReplyDelete
  84. I hate it when writers rewrite their series and characters due to
    shipping. Arrow has literally turned into TVD, that show at least had
    two and a half good seasons while Arrow only had one! I mean look what
    happened on Once Upon a Time due to shipping. I honestly can't take
    writers seriously when they do fan pandering. And now it looks like The
    Walking Dead is following the same steps due to this Bethyl *beep* that
    came out of nowhere. Why can't writers simply have the balls and tell
    their original story? Like I get it that they listen to the fans, but to
    listen to them all of the time and give them every single thing that
    they demand? It's ridiculous.

  85. Barrowman was just in the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony in Glasgow. I imagine he's been there for a little while rehearsing and stuff. It's a pretty big deal so I guess he would have been row paring for a while, which may have kept him out of the first couple of Arrow episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Yes, worry not.

    ReplyDelete
  87. If I were fanboying any harder right now, I'd be having a seizure.

    ReplyDelete
  88. As first dates go, looks like that one kind of sucked.

    ReplyDelete
  89. No doubt about that, that man is such a Guilt King (see also: "I created the Huntress", pffft).

    ReplyDelete
  90. It's probably just because this promo is only about up to episode 3, and she's in those early episodes. Not a whole lot of footage to choose from.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I wondered about that too, maybe she'll help Oliver with the legal battle of trying to get QC back.

    ReplyDelete
  92. people love to use the word fan pandering if they don't like the direction the show is taking. Its starting to really annoy me. Sometimes people have other obligations and miss a few episodes. And Willa is training in the meantime.

    ReplyDelete
  93. It would work for me if the casting was better. This actress doesn't bring any menace and presence to the role in my opinion. She just has a permanently sullen, bitchy look.

    ReplyDelete
  94. Since I was not much into DC comics before my only knowledge about Waller was what was shown in that Green Lantern movie. I think this Waller is so much better than that iteration.Cynthia Addai Robinson is a good actress. Maybe they will give her more compelling material to work with this season.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I think this is what Andrew Kreisberg meant in that interview when he said Laurel and Oliver have a new kind of partnership where "he catches them, she cooks them" kind of thing. I think she prosecutes each and every villain Arrow catches and makes sure they are put away.

    ReplyDelete
  96. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 20:07

    WHAT SHIPPING? they are just friends........

    ReplyDelete
  97. I didn't read the comics either, so I'm not comparing this version of Waller to any other. I just feel like she's supposed to be scary and powerful and CAR's performance isn't conveying that. I have not seen her in Spartacus or anything else so perhaps she's better in other roles.

    ReplyDelete
  98. AK gave a dialogue tease in an interview

    "There's actually a line in the script where after you see what happens on the date, she even says, 'That was still not my worst date!'" executive producer Andrew Kreisberg shared with us at the CW's 2014 Summer TCA Party.

    If this is not her worst date I wonder who this girl was dating before she met our dudes.

    ReplyDelete
  99. I still think Gina Torres would have made one hell of an Amanda Waller. Well what can we do. I hope this season Waller also get better.

    ReplyDelete
  100. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 20:40

    he probably will at some point because his enemy just get more dangerous

    ReplyDelete
  101. That's probably a good way to go about things - making Laurel an outside contact for the team, like Quentin. That way she finally gets a useful role but without interrupting the Team Arrow dynamic as some are worried about.

    ReplyDelete
  102. i've come up with sooo many scenarios, and i'm hoping half of them com true and half don't. lol...and i think Oliver needs Amanda in some way on a professional level, so i don't really see him crossing her anytime soon.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I saw this trailer so many times. I have been in many fandom. But Arrow is the only one that pushes me to fangirl this much.

    ReplyDelete
  104. How cool is Roy's little smirk after he shoots the arrow? He looks great in his suit!

    ReplyDelete
  105. I think they will get more angry since what Stephen just said: Stephen Amell says there is only one girl for Oliver this point forward: Felicity. #Arrow #SDCC

    ReplyDelete
  106. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 22:43

    and of course he probably joking.......I don't think Lu watches the show just here to attack the show. There is NO shipping only 1 or 2 minute

    ReplyDelete
  107. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 22:45

    I think Palmer is not going be like Isabel and try to take full control......I think he wants to be a partner with oliver unlike ISabel who just want full control.......hope they will become fast friends

    ReplyDelete
  108. I know its getting ridiculous, there was no uproar when other relationship were taking place. If the EP wants to try it out, let them. Its their show. And seems everything is fan pandering unless it takes place like in the comics.

    ReplyDelete
  109. SHIELDNCISArrowfan26 July 2014 at 23:01

    The only relationship that has been together for the most part is Thea/Roy no one esle last this long

    ReplyDelete
  110. Yeah and the relationship/romantic part of an episode lasts like 2 mins top as you said earlier. Its still gonna be a bad-ass show no matter who hooks up together.

    ReplyDelete
  111. From what I saw on the promo my speculation is Ray will take complete control of QC with Oliver having no role. May be a board member. They will be at odds. But Ray will run QC better than Oliver. We know Ray is trying to develop something using QC applied science department which will come to a head by mid-season finale and from there on they will become friends. In between all this Ray will try to charm Felicity maybe for her assistance in his project... Is this all really far fetched?

    ReplyDelete
  112. His suite is BADASS!!! I'm seriously looking forward to his scenes with Oliver!! I've been waiting for this, for a long time. Did you watch the panel? Stephen made a joke and i laughed so hard. Colton didn't see it coming. He goes, yeah now we have the second best suite in the house. LOL And then Colton replied, the suite is pretty badass, and everyone cheered. That was great.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Okay, wait. They have only shot episode 1 which is the one the scenes in this promo are taken from. But EW said the Roy will put on his suit in episode 3. I am confused now.

    ReplyDelete
  114. SHIELDNCISArrowfan27 July 2014 at 00:48

    I just heard Amell interview on IGN and he confirm new footage of Arrow season 3 will be shown during the event at 8 pm with the other shows (DCTV) that was not covered at the panel yesterday

    ReplyDelete
  115. Wr are getting a new trailer with new scenes during tonight's panel Shannon.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Okay but still doesn't explain why he's your favourite. Do you hate Diggle, Oliver, Slade, Felicity every other non Roy character? I just don't understand why you would assume and say something like that. I mean I think Routh will be good, but I don't get it why you would say that purely out of speculation.

    ReplyDelete
  117. Now I need to see Oliver (not Stephen) pouting when he realizes his sidekick has a cooler suit than he does. MAKE IT HAPPEN, WRITERS.

    ReplyDelete
  118. She played a great villainess in Alias, the nemesis of the heroine, Sydney.

    ReplyDelete
  119. What Makes You Think I Hate The Other Characters I Didn't Say That, I Think Every Actor On This Show Give Such Amazing Performances Every Episode, It Is Just Many People Have A Favourite Character On A Show And Roy And Soon To Be Ray Palmer Are Mine.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Juliana Carvalho27 July 2014 at 07:46

    Yes, she's gonna get flashbacks from her time at MIT and the episode is going to be called "Oracle"!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Well you kinda put a character you've seen three seconds of as one of your two favourite characters on the show without seeing the rest of him on Arrow. It just seemed odd that he would outweigh every other Arrow character.

    ReplyDelete
  122. He Doesn't Outweigh The Other Characters.
    He Just Stood Out To Me I Don't Really Know For Sure If He Will Become One Of My Favourite Characters, He Just Seemed Like He Will. It Is Just Andrew Kreisberg Said At Comic-Con That He Wanted To Bring New Additions To The Cast To Stay On The Show He Said Like Faith In Buffy We Look Back And Couldn't Imagine The Show Before That Without Them.
    So It Seems Ray Palmer / Atom Will Stay On The Show Long.

    ReplyDelete
  123. He's signed up for 12 episodes.

    ReplyDelete
  124. thx :)
    i'm so looking forward to that

    ReplyDelete
  125. thats true I dont think she does too, but since birds of prey focuses on at least three or four characters, maybe she wouldn't need too. But yeah I sadly cant see her lead material.

    ReplyDelete
  126. The problem here is they already introduced two out of the main three characters in BoP on Arrow. Jessica de Gouw as Huntress and Caity Lotz or Katie Cassidy as BC depends on how season 3 goes. Sadly all three of these actresses have not shown any excellent acting abilities. Also the backstories are tailored for OQ's journey not theirs. So that's another disadvantage.

    Also any BoP based on Arrow will be OQ ex club.

    ReplyDelete
  127. I heard!!! And it's posted, but i'm waiting for my damn laptop to charge! My youtube is giving me shit on my phone. ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  128. Lol...that would be funny. Personally I want to know who made his suite. And which one of the characters suggested he should get one. I mean it didn't necessarily have to come from Oliver.

    ReplyDelete
  129. Be prepared in the (likely) case he doesn't stay.

    ReplyDelete
  130. Juliana Carvalho28 July 2014 at 13:24

    Me too!

    ReplyDelete
  131. As Long As He Stays For At Least A Little Bit Im All Good.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Ditto. I'm looking forward to Routh. Liked him on Chuck and in Scott Pilgrim.

    ReplyDelete
  133. Sorry for the late reply, haven't had internet access for a while.

    I usually love to hate the villain, but in this case I can't. I think it's because I see Oliver being a pretty helpless situation when it comes to her. He doesn't do anything, for probably a secret reason we don't know yet, but she's mean to everyone in the meanwhile ... In that respect, she is a good character since she's truly fulfilling her purpose!!

    ReplyDelete
  134. Yes exactly!! It really seems that way.

    ReplyDelete
  135. I consider Waller to be an out and out bad guy. Slade and Malcolm both had attachments to other people which made them kind of human even in their madness. Now Amanda is simply mission oriented. She just does not care who she kills to fulfill her goal. I like such villains too. Yes she goes after terrorists and bad guys but she is no less of a bad guy.

    What I don't understand is why would Amanda need Oliver to be her operative? She could recruit soldiers with more skill than Oliver with the snap of her hand. Is she making him pay for thwarting Fyers plan of bringing down the plane?

    ReplyDelete
  136. Point. I don't really see what she gets out of Oliver so far. She must have something more than his secret identity to keep him in line. Was she involved with the plane thing? Was A.R.G.U.S. Fryers' client? They haven't told us who was yet right?

    We'll most likely get some answers with the Hong Kong flashbacks. Maybe she was in a fix while in Hong Kong and she got Oliver to her dirty work, and then she decided to keep him on as an ace in the hole. It's an intriguing relationship for sure...I still hate her though lol.

    ReplyDelete
  137. SA said in an interview the woman in heels in season 1 was Amanda Waller and we will know why Fyers wanted to shoot down that plane very early on season 3 flashbacks.
    What I can't understand is unless Waller had need for an operative without knowledge of her superiors why on earth would she need Oliver in Hong Kong. At that time he hardly had 2 years training in fighting.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I'm glad we at least have confirmation that Waller was Fyers' boss, I was worried that would be left unresolved. Although they should confirm it on-screen as well. Hopefully her connection to Fyers is mentioned in one of the Hong Kong flashbacks.


    I too am curious about the reason Waller "recruited" Oliver. The best I can come up with is that since he's believed dead, he makes a disposable operative, like the members of the Suicide Squad - if he gets killed on a mission, or if she has him killed once he's no longer useful, no one will ask any questions. But that alone isn't a sufficient answer. I'm guessing that Waller having been behind Fyers and then arranging for Oliver's capture isn't a coincidence, so hopefully we'll get some answers about how Oliver got on her radar.

  139. I would have understood Waller's agenda if it was Slade Wilson, Yao Fei or even Shado she was recruiting. They are all seasoned fighters and soldiers where as Oliver is a survivor with barely a year and a half training. He would be more of a hindrance than an asset. SA said we would be surprised by the blackmail Waller use to make Oliver comply to her mission. I am guessing something to do with his dad as Oliver said in season 1 he heard from his dad after he marooned in the island.

  140. But Oliver's dad shot himself in the head on the rescue boat before Oliver got to the island... am I missing something?

  141. In season 1 episode 11 trust but verify when Ted Gaynor's (Digg's commanding officer) name comes up in Oliver's little book Digg and Oliver has a conversation where Oliver tells Digg his father explained to him every name in the book has a reason to be there. Then Digg asks when did he chat with his dad about the list if he took the book out of his father's dead body. Oliver says a few yeats before I found a message from my father explaining the list. Digg asks him how is it possible on a deserted island and Oliver says I never said I got the message at the island. This was the first indication in the show that Oliver did not spend his 5 years on the island.

    I just re watched season 1. There is a lot of bread crumbs they are planting through out the series. Its very clever of them.

  142. Thanks.


    Haha, yeah I'm stumped. I'm pretty bad at trying to figure out shows as it is. Yeah though, why Oliver Queen! Just because he's 'dead'? Unlikely. She could probably get any professional who can keep off the grid. I wonder if Tommy fits in somehow.

  143. I think Tommy being there might be a coincidence. Malcolm I am not sure he must be there for some league business or he followed his son there. I still think Amanda somehow has a hold on Oliver because of his father. It must be Amanda who gave Oliver the message from his father. Or maybe she threatens to kill Tommy who knows. They shouldn't give out these many spoilers. The wait for October is killing me.

  144. Yeah I'm thinking she'll use Tommy against him too. I know!!! It's such a long wait and there are so many epic spoilers.
