They might have to slow the pace down if they want a few more seasons

Bah! Crisis on Infinite Earths for Season 3!

Bah! Crisis on Infinite Earths for Season 3!

Zero Hour for 4, Infinite Crises for 6, and Final Crises for 8?

 

[DrRocket]

^ welp, full steam ahead!

Stephen Amell has said on twitter there will be about 13 bombshells in the next 3 eps.

He's getting himself a harem? Well, I hope they all look especially hot.

He said this on facebook:



Yesterday via mobile
The actual title of next weeks episode is, State vs Queen.

For the next six days I will be calling it, The Jaw Dropper.

You should too.

 

[DrRocket]

I think most of them will be island related.

I doubt it. Of the bombshells I expect 1 to be island related Slade getting a dose of Japanese super soldier formula. Another will be the formula being in Blood's hands in the present and a 3rd Slade showing up there. 4th somebody will probably die in 2x09. I don't expect Shado or Sara to die on the island so soon and I don't see much other potential for island bombshells.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe Moira will actually get the death penalty. Perhaps that's the jaw dropper for the next episode - that she doesn't get off but is sentenced to that fate. If she is acquitted, how can that be a jaw dropper?

Arrow getting up close and personal with Laurel. She cannot have sent Moira to death row. Here it is:

How can sara die on the island?

How can sara die on the island?

Oliver said he saw her die. He could have been wrong or there might have been a Lazarus pit involved.

Sara will either die or appear to die on the island or Amazo at some point. Unless her flashbacks continue into S3 which could happen but I think that unlikely.

 

[Dark Raven]

But even if Sara dies on the island, it's not a bombshell at all, since we know she's around in the present day.

I agree unless she dies and we see her tossed into a Lazarus pit, then it becomes a bombshell.(at least for people who don't know about Lazarus pits) Anyway I think that(her apparent death) will happen later in the season.

It's still not a bombshell. Doesn't matter what happens to her in the past. She could be tossed into a Lazarus pit, sliced, diced and mutilated, but because she's alive in the present, we would know it was not a real death as such.

I don't expect it happen in the next 3 eps (where the 13 or so bombshells will drop) anyway. So this isn't worth arguing over to me.

Sorry dude, but that looks like an extraction under fire, not a "personal moment". Ollie could still be pissed as hell at Laurel and he still wouldn't let her die.

That's up too close. It would be really contrived for

Spoiler

her not to know Oliver up that close. If she doesn't close her eyes she will see his face. I suspect her learning his ID is one of the 13 bombshells Stephen said will drop in the nest 3 eps.

If that's the case, then

Spoiler

Laurel could potentially be one of the 2 new people in the Arrow cave.

He's already explored her cave.

Well played!

I think that Roy will find out that Oliver is GA, and possibly Thea. Some of Moira's secrets will probably come out. The Japanese SS plot will have a shocking twist, etc.

I thought he said he saw her die via the boat sinking..

He told Diggle and Felicity that he thought Sara was dead in that conversation in the Arrow Cave.

 

[The_Manhunter]

Come on Oliver. Can't a guy and a girl just be friends? (Looking at you Felicity)
