The remainder of the season will closely follow the plot of the hit film Swordfish.

So... Felicity would be the Hugh Jackman character, then.

So it doesn't necessarily mean much, but apparently the title of 2x20 was just revealed: "Seeing Red." Now, knowing about the original plans for 2x20, you have to wonder exactly what shade of red they'll be seeing.

Just to provide even more speculation fodder: it just so happens to overlap filming with the Flash pilot. In other words, they're shooting it right now. :flashfap:

If the head of WB ever went crazy and decided to cancel Arrow, they should just pump out ridiculous episodes involving Flash time travel destroying continuity.

Prior to the end of Season 3 they'll have a big network media push about how they're ending the show, but then the season finale will have Flash run so fast he breaks the fourth wall and convinces studio execs to get a fourth season of Arrow.

Unless that is Spider-man if Spider-man were a backyard wrestler or Kurt Cobain, your costume looks shitty.
I'm pretty sure it refers to either Summer Glau as the Red Queen or Roy as Red Arrow/Arsenal. Likely the prior, because they really need to pay off that plotline.

Yes, because when people think of Arrow and Supernatural, their first inclination is "oh that girl that was in three episodes total between the two shows."

I think there's a good chance it was click-bait with them expecting people might think that. Because the idea of Katie Cassidy wanting to move to another show isn't at all far-fetched. She's spent two seasons with the writers having very little idea what to do with her character and almost the entire fanbase absolutely loathes her. I can't imagine it's very fun being part of a show where the fanbase despises you (especially when you're supposed to be the love interest and someone who was only supposed to be in the show for an episode or two completely upstages you in the eyes of the fans for the position of love interest).

It was pretty clear she was never meant to stay Love Interest, though. Her character was supposed to serve Ollie as a reminder of his past humanity, while he went out killing all those other dudes.

Well, we don't for certain how big a role Felicity was meant to play in the show. She did end up supplanting Laurel as Oliver's morality anchor and potential love interest.

Also, Tommy was a way more interesting morality anchor than either Laurel or Felicity.

Tommy was a true bro. Although he was still a little bitch for whining about Ollie killing people. Get over yourself, Tommy, jesus.

Unless I'm missing something, nothing in the title suggests the actress is currently on Arrow? Which means, "previously appeared on Supernatural" perfectly accurate.

Was hoping for somebody more notable like Katharine Isabelle or Amber Benson, though.

No, Oliver's company was in trouble after season 1 because his family name was ruined, so Summer Glau tried to buy it out, but ended up owning just half of the company because Business Jargon. She's appeared in four episodes so far, with (evidently) one more to go.
