![]() There was a Van Wayne Industries billboard in this episode. So, to be able to have all those huge episodes speak to each other instead of ignoring what happened was really important to us. The idea that Mia is wrestling with this thing that has happened in her past/our future-that was just really intriguing.īS: That was the challenge for the season-the crossover, the backdoor pilot and then the series finale. And one of the things we were kind of debating was do we need an A-story? Do we need a final villain? And the writers room had pitched the idea of William being kidnapped, and the moment they pitched that, it really resonated for both of us because it did connect so strongly with the ending of the previous episode. The very last scene we've known for months and months. We knew the finale would be a coda, we knew there'd be a season one flashback, we knew the build-up to the green box. Originally, Beth and I, we had almost all the pieces. MG: The idea of William being kidnapped in the present day came out of the writers room, actually. Why did you decide to kidnap William in the present day? Was it to parallel the ending of the previous episode? And so, it just felt like we would short-change her if we didn't really honor the growth that her character went through. She's come such a long way from murdering people all the time to becoming the hero she was at the end of season eight and will continue to be in the spinoff, hopefully. ![]() She's just always been a more interesting character to us.īeth Schwartz: In seasons seven and eight, she was really able to redeem herself and we felt like that was such an important story for her character. We love Katie's take on that character, we love writing for that character, we love the complexities of that character’s sort of moral seesaw. But we had a lot of conversations about which version of Laurel we wanted on the spinoff and we've all really fallen in love over the years with the Earth-2 version of Laurel. I think if we weren't doing a spinoff, we probably would have gone a different way. MG: We went back and forth on that a great deal and truth be told, that was really driven by the ( Green Arrow & the Canaries) spinoff. Why did you decide to keep Black Siren after “Crisis” rather than bringing back the original Laurel? I think we've done some justice to the six-year tease. With the tease, I think there's been a bit of a payoff, but we'll see what all that means. We very specifically negotiated and discussed the parameters, and I feel like to say anything beyond what we have shown you would violate our agreement.ĭavid Ramsey: It’s exciting. He said, “It's going to be on Christmas in Russia.” And people are like, “Why?” And he's just like, “That's what I was told.”Įvery time David and I field questions about what was in the box, it’s basically like, “That's what I was told.” And what I mean by that is this was something that was worked out over a year ahead with DC Entertainment. I feel a little bit like in Rocky IV when Rocky did the press conference for his Ivan Drago fight. Marc Guggenheim: We're just going to continue to tease you guys. So, John Diggle found a green box! What can you tell us about that? Arrow is part of a shared universe, after all, and it feels pretty likely that we’ll be seeing at least some of these characters again in one form or another.Īnd “Fadeout” certainly left us with no shortage of questions about them! Was that green box that John Diggle found what we think it is? Why didn’t Ollie choose to save the other Laurel? Is present day William finally safe? And have we really seen Stephen Amell’s Oliver Queen for the last time? We were on the hunt for answers, and fortunately Executive Producer Beth Schwartz, Consulting Producer Marc Guggenheim and actor David Ramsey were gracious enough to provide some of them. ![]() And while we won’t be seeing Oliver Queen tangling with the likes of Deathstroke, Prometheus, Ricardo Diaz or the League of Assassins anymore (though, it’s possible that we may see another Green Arrow pick up the bow), that doesn’t mean that the events of “Fadeout” might not still be felt in the future. ![]() If there’s one thing Green Arrow knows how to do well, it’s bow out.Īfter eight seasons and 170 episodes, Arrowhas come to a close. Don’t read and further if you haven’t seen the episode! SPOILER ALERT: The follow feature contains spoilers from the Arrow series finale. ![]()
