Arrow: I keep worrying (because I do watch TV, y'all) that they're going to do something annoying with Oliver/Felicity. But their relationship is so healthy and grown up. YAY.
And shout-out to that scene with Diggle and Oliver. That's how you BROTP!
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

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.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

The 'ship name for Felicity's mom and Quentin Lance is SmoakNLance. That's actually awesome.

Arrow: Not to be all...whatever...but while I appreciate hiding behind a table or a wall, what would make Sarah think that hiding behind a comfy couch would stop automatic weapons fire?

People have been using Smoakin' [Whatever] for a while for a lot of ships involving Felicity. (And, oddly, the other person in those is almost always named by their superhero name or by some other identifying characteristic, rather than by their actual name, even though actual names are used in most of the other ship names. Smoakin Canary was a thing for a while, for Felicity/Sara. Someone was trying to get Laulicity to trend a few weeks ago, but aside from nobody actually shipping them, that's just impossible to say.)

That makes sense. I only just saw it today on Paul Blackthorne's Instagram account.

Now I'm wondering why and how the convention got started that Smoakin' generally goes with superhero names, rather than regular names. I think that Lance is the only time I've seen it used with an actual name, and even there, it's his last name. Internet language is neat. (It even gets used in ways that don't really make much sense -- I saw something labeled "Smoakin' Driver" and it took me forever to figure out that the "Driver" part of that was Diggle. Who doesn't have a code name. But apparently, the "Don't use Smoakin' with first names" thing was strong enough that he needed some other name in order to get a pairing name.) (Even though Diggle is his last name.) (Here endeth the abuse of parentheses.)

Diggle. Who doesn't have a code name.
Felicity called him "Spartan" last night. I don't know if that's meant to stick, or not.
I'm also waiting for her to be called "Oracle." She said, several episodes back, that she thought she deserved a code name, too, and I was SO READY for someone to say "Oracle." But I guess it has to happen organically.

I think that whoever deals with that stuff at DC might not approve "Oracle," if they have any plans of using Barbara Gordon in anything in the future.

True; they wouldn't let Arrow use Ted Kord (even though Ray Palmer *is* Ted Kord in everything but the name) because they might want to use him in a future property. (I guess the show can namecheck "Kord Industries" as long as they don't actually use Ted Kord the character.)
But man, I REALLY want her to be Oracle.
