ARROW NEWS:
- Spoiler Room: Scoop on Once Upon a Time, Arrow, Riverdale, and more (Date: 17 March 2017)
Can you provide any Felicity scoop for Arrow?— Aligning with Helix, and therefore using even more unconventional methods than she does with Team Arrow, is certainly going to take Felicity to an interesting place — in particular, one in which she may come to understand her ex a bit better. “We’re starting to put her in Oliver’s footsteps a little bit,” EP Marc Guggenheim says. “She’s going to get a chance to experience things a little bit more from Oliver’s perspective. I think the reason they broke up was her difficulty to see things from Oliver’s perspective. They broke up fundamentally because she didn’t trust Oliver, and the reason she didn’t trust Oliver is she couldn’t understand why he made the decisions he made.”

Stephen Amell took to social media to hint the return of the Island. The actor posted a familiar photo with the caption, “Hello old friend.” The picture itself shows Slade Wilson’s Deathstroke mask placed upon a stake. The monument is one that was left on the island, and an arrow is shown sticking through the mask’s left eye slit.

Revealed early to ComicBook.com, the title of the twenty-second episode of Arrow's fifth season, which should begin shooting in the next couple of days, will be "Missing."

Question: Have any scoop on Arrow‘s Olicity to tease?— Though Oliver has bigger fish to fry for the foreseeable future, Stephen Amell had this to say about Oliver’s take on Felicity’s recent secret-keeping: “Look, he does trust her, but that doesn’t mean he has to agree with her.” That distinction will be put to the test in Episode 19, which is officially titled “Dangerous Liaisons” but “you could almost call it ‘Team Arrow vs. Team Felicity,'” Amell shared. Felicity and her Helix hackers and Oliver’s associates “are both after the same objective, but after it in different ways. And that pushes us into a real exploration of why Oliver and Felicity have been behaving the way that they’ve been behaving this year.”

Meanwhile, at the Hall of Doom, “Legends of Tomorrow’s” Legion of Doom has used the Spear of Destiny to create their own reality — and that reality includes a big nod to the 1973 “Super Friends” cartoon from Hanna Barbera. On his Twitter, executive producer Marc Guggenheim unveiled the establishing shot for “Doomworld,” the penultimate episode of Season 2. The photo shows a structure not unlike STAR Labs; however, the building has a rounder shape with concave windows, making it look almost like a helmet… much like the Hall of Doom from “Super Friends.”

FEEDBACK
From FaceBook:
Starling Tribune shared Entertainment Weekly's post.March 18 at 7:18pm ·
No speed villain for Flash next season? Yes, please!
Steven Carl Wait what? Why would they choose a villain without super speed?
Starling Tribune Because they've done that each season. Remember, not every viewer is a comic fan, so they have to mix things up to keep viewers.
Steven Carl I was being silly. You can't have effectively the same bad guy each season. New metas for the BBG .
Haley Malle What madness is this?!
