I have no idea. I think TV-aired promos were fair game, but online promos, even an official one like this one? I can't remember having this particular issue before.
This one's fairly spoilery for several upcoming eps so probably not in black font.
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yeah, I'm not sure either. I'll whitefont for people who didn't see/don't want to see the promo. (I'm utterly amused that 3 different people, none of whom know each other, shared this promo on my FB wall last night...within 5 minutes of each other.)
So, Sara is totally dead, right? I mean, after last week's episode, when she told Sin that she would "never leave" or "always be around" or whatever, that was the most anvillicious dialogue I've heard in a long time. And now in this promo, telling Ollie she isn't that hard to kill? Yeah, she has a HUGE target on her back, doesn't she.
Holy crap, I am ALL ABOUT Deathstroke. (I don't know that that needs whitefont, but hey.)
And finally, holy HOLY crap, I am so excited about Suicide Squad!!!! I was disappointed with how Sean Maher's role played out in his episode, so I'm glad to see him back. And I loves me some Deadshot.
I'm fairly meh about Huntress returning. Just not feeling it.
Mostly, I am boggling at how freakin' cinematic that looks. I remember hearing somewhere that Arrow pulls the highest rating among the CW shows, but still, it's CW -- their budget can't be that big. Whatever it is, every dollar is showing up on screen.
Re. Sara: yeah, I share the same worry. She's getting some major spotlight in this promo (not to mention the dialog), which does not bode well. I am preemptively annoyed because 1) I enjoy Sara a lot and 2) having *two* love interests of Oliver's fridged in the same season would be the height of lazy storytelling. I'm hoping they'd defy expectations and do something more interesting than that.
Everything to do with Slade, YES. I still want Oliver and Slade to have their confrontation and somehow end with Slade not dying (because I love him), then next season, they team up (reluctantly, like Diggle and Deadshot but on a more epic scale) to battle a common enemy. Um, The League of Assassins or whatnot. What, it could happen.
My main interest in having Huntress return is so that we would see a Huntress/Black Canary face-off. I did like her line about letting the darkness in at the end there.
Diggle's line made me snorfle. I am psyched for Suicide Squad but wish they'd found a way to include The Clock King, who was my favourite.

Especially since S.H.I.E.L.D. always looks so chintzy.

While the title of the March 19 episode is Suicide Squad, the March 26 episode is called Birds of Prey.
Whoever's the DP of this show (wait, do TV shows have DPs or is it just the director?) does a wonderful job with kinetic camera shots and unusual angles. It makes for a very dynamic-looking show. SHIELD looks quite static in comparison -- honestly, whoever initially decided to have the plane as the main base has to shoulder a lot of the blame. It makes everything look so cramped and gray.
Yeap, I did hear about that March 26 ep title. I am hoping that Felicity would be an Oracle stand-in! Uhm, without the whole paralysis bit. And then I laugh at myself for being psyched about a Bird of Prey ep because I have not even read a single issue of comic book in my entire life. This show may get me to start though.

Next week's Sif/Lorelei smackdown in the interrogation room from the previews looks really dumb. They barely have room to swing their weapons!
I neglected to mention this last week, but last week's credits were new, right? Because I don't remember seeing the salmon ladder in the credits prior to last week. Bless this show.
I *really* didn't need to see Slade's eye socket.
Did flashback!Slade stab Crazy Dr. Ivo, or just cut off his arm? I couldn't tell. It sounded painful, though, which is what I wanted.
Cut of his arm, I think. I saw a bloody stump. Yay?
The action scenes on the freighter were big and loud but I actually preferred the present-day scenes -- they were super-tense.
Hi, Zelenka! It sounds like we're gonna see the motley crew from ship for a few episodes? Is that preacher guy from the comics? Thomas Flynn, I think his name was?

Tell me about it. Oy.
Cut of his arm, I think. I saw a bloody stump. Yay?
Tim did, too. I got all disoriented, I guess. I suppose Slade wouldn't make it quick in this case.

I did, too. I loved Slade immediately realizing Roy had been Mirakuru-ized.

I don't recognize him, but he could be.
Oh! Promo for next week -- there was a shot from behind of a female inmate with a blonde ponytail, wasn't there? Oh god, I want it to be Harley Quinn.
