I'm guessing its either Diggle in Arrow-gear OR possibly Merlyn (especially since Merlyn is actually superior to Ollie in fighting skills due to League training and experience)
I agree. Oliver's not supposed to return to Starling until 3.12 I thought, so it's either Dig or Roy. Either way, I'm really excited for these next three episodes, I really want to see the other characters come into their own without Oliver. Especially Felicity, I feel like her only purpose on the show anymore (besides her techy techy) is that she loves Oliver. Don't get me wrong, I love Felicity and try not to hate on any character in the show but the character needs more to her, IMHO.
I don't even want to get drawn into this again but I just can't help it. I need to know how professional writers screwed up a strong and well-established character like Black Canary SO badly.
It's the third season and almost no one wants to see her suiting up. It's pathetic. How do you manage that? Is there some bts drama? Is there a monkey at a keyboard writing Laurel scenes? I need to know.
At last it looks like there will be some movement in Thea's story. I hope there is steady growth there. I have a feeling DJ douchebag might be Slade's son Joe.
It's going to hurt seeing team Arrow grieving for Oliver. Will they let Laurel and Thea know Oliver is dead. How will they explain the death to Laurel? Will they reveal the Thea killed Sara bomb?
Will there be few weeks time jump within the episode after team Arrow learns the news of Oliver's death from Malcolm (after 3 days according to synopsis)? That will be cool. It will make Brick's take over and Laurel putting on the mask really believable.
So many questions... This was a solid promo. Everyone looked awesome.
PS: CH is so pretty!!! That shot of him alone standing was just.... He is too pretty..
They already announced Diggle will use the Arrow suit. Well, the "techy techy" is her function in the team and is the only character that has a defined place in it when Digg and Roy sometimes are sidekicks and on other episodes they're on the deep background. She already had 9 episodes with a story only about her becoming vice president of Palmer Tech, her own episode, etc... I think is enough, she's not the main character. Her mother is coming back. I would rather get more info on Roy or Ray, for example, and let Felicity rest a little bit.
I was pretty satisfied with Brick. I couldn't think of him as a 3 episode villain... he so crappy, imh Jajaja But the Vinnie Jones "version" seems really badass.
They have to tell Thea because her story this season is really getting on my nerves and plz don't tell her that Oliver is "backpacking through Europe" or climbing the Albs to explain his absence! Tell her that your psycho daddy forced him to fight to his death to protect her after dear old dad made her a killer.
Brick looks cool, that episode is going to be awesome action wise.
I think they will tell Laurel about Oliver's death but I am not sure they will reveal Thea is Sara's killer. If that is revealed Laurel will be all about killing Malcolm for revenge not saving people. If it is up to me know I will tell everyone be it Thea, Laurel or Quentin all the secrets.
Cute??? He looks very beautiful. I like men like SA, Daniel Gillies etc in looks dept. But Colton's is like somebody sat and drew the perfect face. Too pretty. That jacket is really good. How much does he get paid by Thea?
Arrow's season always end on a positive note so maybe it's the cliffhanger and all these spoilers keep us more invested. New season is always fun but this ms cliffhanger just broke through the roof.
"This is everything Oliver was working for" "There's no this without him" "I don't know what happens next" "Please, Oliver, Where are you?" If anyone asks about me I'm in the corner crying....
That is true, I do want more of Ray and Roy, but I feel like they filled a lot of Roy in with that episode that ended with the "Don't abandon me" and when he thought he murdered Sara. There was a lot of development for Roy even in the third episode when he let Thea go because he wanted her to be happy. Thea's another character I feel like they need to develop further, we get a tiny bit out of her and then we don't see her for a few episodes :/
Season 1 definitely didn't end on a positive note but season 2 finale gave us closure. It left us feeling that we just watched a movie with a happy ending but the ms finale was different. Someone on Tumblr said that it was like someone snatching a book out of your hand after you just finished the most interesting chapter.
It could be because they gave her a sister who slept with her then boyfriend who then survives and returns to Starling as Canary. They didn't do that in the comics. In the comics it was the mom who was Canary and out of envy or admiration the daughter wanted to be like her mom and get training from Ted Grant . That would have been so much simpler.
It'd be weird to see her not take it poorly and I'm glad that she is. I've been baffled by a lot of comments recently saying Felicity's been ruined because of all the drama and angst (Olicity and otherwise) but if anyone were in her situation, who would be light and happy? It wouldn't be appropriate for Felicity to be like her jokey season 2 self this season what with Sara's murder, all that stuff with Oliver, her past coming back to haunt her, Ra's Al Ghul etc.
I'm glad the writers are expanding her character and that she isn't that person who just delivers the punch-line anymore. I hope that the last half of the season builds her character more :)
:D In this one it's a bit clearer, I think. AND... no Lazarus Pit for Oliver. Can you imagine how i sighed with relief? http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/index.php/2015/01/11/arrows-oliver-queen-really-dead-stephen-amell-gives-insights/
somehow Malcolm is able to grab scissors from Thea......she was have learn the truth or something........since Diggle is going to be Arrow will he wear Oliver mask? because it do not seem like that in the promo.
I saw that. But does she mean she will know immediately or after Oliver returns. I think it will be after Oliver's return. About her reaction she will never want to punish Thea whom Oliver died to protect. That would be character suicide. Writers are not that mad. Lol
Sadly Felicity's whole storyline revolves around the men in her life. The same way it happened with Laurel in Season 1 and Thea in Season 2. I fear that the writers sometimes use the women to prop the male characters up.
This was supposed to be the season of Felicity growing beyond being Oliver's IT girl. She finally got a backstory episode and a parents, she gets a new billionaire interested in her, she gets to be the VP of QC/PT, and she helps build the ATOM suit.
Roy always gets the short end of the stick. They cut his episodes last season for more Slade and Lance Family and they're going to do it again for Laurel and Ray getting their costumes.
Roy got mirakuru'ed, learned to fight from Oliver starting last January and has been a full vigilante for the last 8 months. Thea started learning to fight after the city fell, 8 months ago and is being trained by Malcolm Merlyn who was trained by the LoA. Sara and Oliver both spent 5 years being trained by people who were strong fighters Laurel has been taking boxing lessons for 3 months when she's got time away from her fulltime job. You don't have to be an Olicity shipper to roll your eyes at this one.
I expect Laurel to say "Poor Thea, she was brainwashed into killing Sara. No, I can't take it out on her." We'll see what she does. If she were still a lawyer instead of a vigilante, she could go after Malcolm, but his fighting skills are way better than hers.
Because of Roy's past issues with Thea regarding the truth that speech would be a little iffy coming from him but I have absolutely no problem with either Felicity or Diggle (or both) giving Thea an earful about her choices.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
The "it's him" i'm sure is Diggle in the costume... They fear The Arrow and a mask can be used by anyone.
ReplyDeleteSmh @ Laurel-Canary.....
ReplyDeleteWow!!!! Great promo! Just one week away!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteFeels like its been 3 months since the ms finale.
I like how much promotion they are putting for Arrow's return!
ReplyDeleteIt'd be sweet if it could come back to a 1.2 or higher
Jumps up and down over the amazing story that is Laurel as BLACK CANARY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing tbh!
ReplyDeleteAmazing promo. I can't wait to see Team Arrow step up in Oliver's absence.
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing its either Diggle in Arrow-gear OR possibly Merlyn (especially since Merlyn is actually superior to Ollie in fighting skills due to League training and experience)
ReplyDeleteMerlyn on a motorcycle? That would be new.
ReplyDeleteI am so here for Thea throwing scissors at Malcolm.
ReplyDeleteWell interesting promo, but the most interesting part was Thea that part would be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Oliver's not supposed to return to Starling until 3.12 I thought, so it's either Dig or Roy. Either way, I'm really excited for these next three episodes, I really want to see the other characters come into their own without Oliver.

nah her purpose is to make Ray likeable so they can make a spin-off.
ReplyDeleteAnd him catching them
ReplyDeletereally hot on knowing how their story will unfold.
btw. Brick looks badass
At last it looks like there will be some movement in Thea's story. I hope there is steady growth there. I have a feeling DJ douchebag might be Slade's son Joe.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to hurt seeing team Arrow grieving for Oliver. Will they let Laurel and Thea know Oliver is dead. How will they explain the death to Laurel? Will they reveal the Thea killed Sara bomb?

I was pretty satisfied with Brick. I couldn't think of him as a 3 episode villain... he so crappy, imh Jajaja But the Vinnie Jones "version" seems really badass.
ReplyDeleteThey appear to have reconceptualized Brick as a Kingpin-esque character. Wich is a pretty solid move.
ReplyDeleteAnd Vinnie Jones is usually pretty damn good, so I'm excited ^^
oh come on... no Laurel really??!!
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see someone read Thea in to all of this while Oliver is gone. That girl needs to get a clue.
ReplyDeleteThey have to tell Thea because her story this season is really getting on my nerves and plz don't tell her that Oliver is "backpacking through Europe" or climbing the Albs to explain his absence! Tell her that your psycho daddy forced him to fight to his death to protect her after dear old dad made her a killer.
ReplyDeleteBrick looks cool, that episode is going to be awesome action wise.
He looks cute in that brown jacket, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteOH MY, I can't wait anymore
ReplyDeletePlus, butt camera shot of Black Canary???!!!!!!! I'm dying.
ZZZZZZ
ReplyDeleteI really hope they tell Laurel already. I think Diggle is the one that tells her since they've have some emotional scene in this episode.
ReplyDeleteIKR? It feels longer than the summer hiatus. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteI think they will tell Laurel about Oliver's death but I am not sure they will reveal Thea is Sara's killer. If that is revealed Laurel will be all about killing Malcolm for revenge not saving people. If it is up to me know I will tell everyone be it Thea, Laurel or Quentin all the secrets.
ReplyDeleteAh Felicity is predictability taking this poorly.
ReplyDeleteCute??? He looks very beautiful. I like men like SA, Daniel Gillies etc in looks dept. But Colton's is like somebody sat and drew the perfect face. Too pretty. That jacket is really good. How much does he get paid by Thea?
ReplyDeleteI like ruggedly handsome men so to me he looks like a cute little puppy.
ReplyDelete"How much does he get paid by Thea?" good question. Apparently she is a very generous boss lol
Arrow's season always end on a positive note so maybe it's the cliffhanger and all these spoilers keep us more invested.
ReplyDeleteNew season is always fun but this ms cliffhanger just broke through the roof.
Omg, that almost made me cry. I want my show back!!! I can't take this. My feels!
ReplyDelete"This is everything Oliver was working for"
ReplyDelete"There's no this without him"
"I don't know what happens next"
"Please, Oliver, Where are you?"
If anyone asks about me I'm in the corner crying....

Thea's another character I feel like they need to develop further, we get a tiny bit out of her and then we don't see her for a few episodes :/
ReplyDeleteI really hope they don't have a Ray spin-off, I like him on Arrow and want to keep him there.
ReplyDeleteSeason 1 definitely didn't end on a positive note but season 2 finale gave us closure. It left us feeling that we just watched a movie with a happy ending but the ms finale was different.

Oh I agree completely. If she didn't it's be OOC.
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if she was all like "whatever" and turned emo.
ReplyDeleteOk. I'll let them know.
ReplyDeletedid you see this?
ReplyDeleteI can't stop grinning :D

:D

http://www.channelguidemagblog.com/index.php/2015/01/11/arrows-oliver-queen-really-dead-stephen-amell-gives-insights/
I can because I was SOOOO relieved. Our Oliver is still here :D :D
ReplyDeleteI have now. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYou are very welcome, sweetie :)
ReplyDeleteLol. That would be.
ReplyDeletesomehow Malcolm is able to grab scissors from Thea......she was have learn the truth or something........since Diggle is going to be Arrow will he wear Oliver mask? because it do not seem like that in the promo.
ReplyDeleteIt could be he snuck in and Thea was just paranoid.
ReplyDeleteKatie Cassidy did an interview and she said Laurel will find out and won't get the reaction people are expecting.
ReplyDeleteI saw that. But does she mean she will know immediately or after Oliver returns. I think it will be after Oliver's return. About her reaction she will never want to punish Thea whom Oliver died to protect. That would be character suicide. Writers are not that mad. Lol
ReplyDeleteThere is no this without Oliver!!
ReplyDeleteThis wait is interminable.
Sadly Felicity's whole storyline revolves around the men in her life. The same way it happened with Laurel in Season 1 and Thea in Season 2. I fear that the writers sometimes use the women to prop the male characters up.
ReplyDeleteI think the only one who should defeat Brick is Oliver......no one else should beside fighting the thugs
ReplyDeleteToo bad Wildcat won't be appearing he may be make more sense than Palmer to fight against brick and the thugs
This was supposed to be the season of Felicity growing beyond being Oliver's IT girl. She finally got a backstory episode and a parents, she gets a new billionaire interested in her, she gets to be the VP of QC/PT, and she helps build the ATOM suit.
ReplyDeleteIf that didn't come across, they failed.
Roy always gets the short end of the stick. They cut his episodes last season for more Slade and Lance Family and they're going to do it again for Laurel and Ray getting their costumes.
ReplyDeleteRoy got mirakuru'ed, learned to fight from Oliver starting last January and has been a full vigilante for the last 8 months. Thea started learning to fight after the city fell, 8 months ago and is being trained by Malcolm Merlyn who was trained by the LoA. Sara and Oliver both spent 5 years being trained by people who were strong fighters
ReplyDeleteLaurel has been taking boxing lessons for 3 months when she's got time away from her fulltime job. You don't have to be an Olicity shipper to roll your eyes at this one.
I expect Laurel to say "Poor Thea, she was brainwashed into killing Sara. No, I can't take it out on her."
ReplyDeleteWe'll see what she does. If she were still a lawyer instead of a vigilante, she could go after Malcolm, but his fighting skills are way better than hers.
Because of Roy's past issues with Thea regarding the truth that speech would be a little iffy coming from him but I have absolutely no problem with either Felicity or Diggle (or both) giving Thea an earful about her choices.
ReplyDeleteGood point about Roy. Okay, Diggle & Felicity give Thea the facts of her life, and Roy comforts her.
ReplyDeleteSomeone HAS to tell her. Like honestly. On tumblr MC said the Felicity/Thea scenes won't be for a while so maybe it's Diggle. Or maybe still Roy.
ReplyDelete
