Sorry, Nonnie, I have no idea what you’re talking about, because unless we read different responses to those spoilers, I didn’t see either one suggest any such thing. So, unless @jbuffyangel or @callistawolf have added extra thoughts somewhere that I’m unaware of, I’m going to go ahead and assume you’ve misinterpreted what they’ve said. Correct me if I’m wrong, ladies. I don’t mean to speak for either one of you. :)

HOWWWWW did this person get that from what I posted?? Just… *goes back to look at the post, scratches head, shrugs* HOW.

I’m so much the OPPOSITE of thinking that it’s actually kind of hilarious to me that anyone would think that’s my opinion. So… to clarify:

YES. I have ALL the hope for the direction the writers are taking Olicity in and am more certain of their eventual reunion than ever before.

NO. I do not believe the writers intend to get Oliver and Tina together. Or Oliver and Earth 2 Laurel. Or Oliver and anyone who isn’t Felicity, besides Susan and Susan is very much in the short term.

Speak for me all you want Lou, you know how I feel about all this stuff. Which is to say it’s basically the same way you feel about this stuff. And I’m fairly certain (given the long phone call I had with her earlier this evening) that Jen feels the same as well.

This is why I’m not even remotely worried about Tina: I think the writers are trying to “reset” the whole Black Canary thing. It just did not work with Laurel. They did the GA/BC relationship with Oliver and Sara and even Oliver and Laurel had that history so I definitely don’t believe they intend to go down that particular path AGAIN. But what they do want, I believe, is to have a believable and enjoyable version of the Black Canary on the show. Not to be a love interest, but to to be a crime fighting partner for Oliver. This way, they could have their cake and eat it too. Have the organic and far more pleasing relationship of Oliver and Felicity, but also have the GA and BC teamup. Again, did not work with Laurel. So they killed her. But they still want it. So they bring in Tina, who has the metahuman cry (apparently?), who is a kickass fighter already, who can be the type of BC they want to have on the show. BUT… they don’t need her to be the love interest. They’ve already put their eggs in the Olicity basket. This way, we can have a BC who has not slept with Oliver. No toxic backstory to drag that partnership down. BOOM. They can FINALLY have that cake and eat it too.

This is why I’m not even remotely worried about Laurel: KC was FIRED. FIRED. Great lengths were gone to to wiggle out of the contract with her. Part of that wiggling is evidenced by what we’re seeing this season with these sporadic appearances. She’s not a regular on anything, she has a deal. Huge different. It’s just a little something to appease her, something probably drawn up in negotiations with her agent or manager or whomever deals with these things. What I do know is that she was fired and they wanted her gone and there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that they’d want to have her back on any kind of regular basis. Just… no. NO, guys. Sure they’ll tease that maybe she can be redeemed as Black Siren, blah blah blah, let’s bait the LL fans a little bit more cuz they apparently fall for ANYTHING… but I am not even close to being worried. NOOOOPE.

This is why I’m not even remotely worried about Olicity: They are endgame. The show has spent 5 years building their story. Crafting this foundation. Showing us all the many ways in which these two idiots are perfect for one another. They have chemistry for miles and are instant internet buzz and promotion for the network. They ARE the love story for this show. If 5x08 didn’t prove that, 5x09 certainly did. But I think it was proven long ago, before this season, before season 4 and even before season 3. I’ve been paying attention, guys. I know what I see and I see a couple that this show, while they are keeping them apart for now, have every single intention of bringing back together. Frankly, I’m a little amazed that anyone can doubt it at this point in the game.

There you have it. No worries here. 5b looks amaze. Bring it on, show. I’m ready.
