ok so i decided to write out every single passing thought as i watched the show, so this post turned out EXTREMELY long of literally just me screaming, here you go, take my pain, all episodes under the read more lol

Episode 1

i’ve heard merlin say douxie’s full name like five times now and i STILL cannot pronounce it lmao

i CANNOT get over archie and his beautiful cat-dragon form!!! love it (also, seeing him without his glasses for the first time was EXTREMELY disorienting asfghdgfj-) double also, i love how they’re using the arcadian monsters’ love of eating cats as bait

i’m like five minutes in and i already love douxie and archie’s relationship SO much, i would die for these absolute bros

douxie you’re yelling about magic in the middle of the street, you are SO lucky everyone in arcadia is oblivious and stupid or you’d have been caught ten times over by now-

i LOVE that i’m seeing steve and aaarrrgghh and toby right now but i’m also laughing SO hard at their conversation because i’m trying to imagine how the people who haven’t seen trollhunters/3below are gonna react to those opening lines of “it’s hard to top destroying an alien god” and “i lost my butt-stomping, ninja-space-angel girlfriend and my creepslaying partner in the same afternoon”

HOLY SHIT THE THEME SONG IS ACTUALLY AMAZING THIS TIME????

archie setting some clear boundaries with aaarrrgghh, i see... lmao

why is there a painting of a dog in a knight suit in the bookstore? is this undertale now???

“did you lead them here?” “No!” “yes we did” ok it’s official archie is my favourite so far-

“ship just got real” STEVE ARE YOU KIDDING ME

aghsgfdfjgk archie does the go-on-the-shoulder thing i LOVE THAT they’re so cute alsO I SEE CUTE ELF FAIRY GIRL PERSON IDK WHAT SHE IS BUT NARI’S ALSO SO CUTE-

i am EXTREMELY loving how toby is already hella in murder mode towards green knight binch who hurt his friend, nobody messes with jimbo bean without facing toby’s wrath y’all

“oh, i hate that lady” you and me both, toby

rest in hecking pieces galahad (i’m sure he’s fine)

ok i SWEAR, that ice person of the arcane order HAS to be an akaridion, right??? right?????????

oop, never mind, ice person has normal feet, definitely not an akaridion lol

i love how the last episode of 3below ended on steve screaming, and now the first episode of wizards continues that trend lmaooo-

bro the end credits art is SO GOOD what the heck-

well that was one hell of a start... time to binge the rest of the episodes and die!!!

Episode 2

DID LANCELOT REALLY JUST PULL THE PRINCE CHARMING HAIR FLIP FROM SHREK. IS THAT WHAT’S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. i am both appalled and thrilled

steve being a bi icon as usual... nice. (though i can’t tell if this reaction is just because lance looks like him or what lol)

steve i love your bi energy, i feel it in my soul, but can you stop being gay for a second, these racists boutta hang you all for having a troll friend oh my heckin god-

“thanks for always tipping, by the way” jim may not like douxie but he RESPECTS RESTAURANT STAFF LIKE THE 10/10 GOOD LAD HE IS, i love jim so much

i’m very much relating to claire’s reaction to morgana right now, but i understand that this is the past, and she technically hasn’t done All Those Horrible Things yet... still salty, though

i’ve known arthur for like two minutes and i hate him. like i get that trolls have definitely murdered his wife or something. but like. bruh i’m willing to bet cold hard cash that some humans in camelot have murdered each other at some point or another BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN 100% OF HUMANS ARE MURDERERS SO STOP USING THAT STUPID LOGIC ON TROLLS, ARTHUR

i’m not disagreeing with morgana in this episode at all but my fight-or-flight instincts are still being very much activated whenever i see her lol mostly fight

claire’s such a mood right now asgfhdfj

callista has so much salt and i am living for it, because mood

steve is taking this whole time-jump thing unsurprisingly well

D U M B L E D O R K

“well, here’s to hoping this doesn’t break the time-space continuum” -douxie, the least frustrating time-travel protagonist i’ve ever seen so far

watching morgana and merlin arguing (but while they’re still friends(?)) is so unsettling in the weirdest way... this show is going to destroy me, i just know it

douxie’s face when the vault got locked. omg

i definitely don’t think lance is steve’s dad, because like... time frame, obviously. but i feel like he’s gotta be at least SOME sort of ancient ancestor? the resemblance is too uncanny

slorrs terrify me more than any nyarlagroth ever did

claire looks SO uncomfortable with morgana right now, poor girl’s still traumatized from the whole possession thing and morgana doesn’t even KNOW, this is already messing with me oh no

... is morgana missing her hand already, or is she just wearing a glove...? i feel like she woulda gone apeshit if merlin took her hand by now, and i’m pretty sure she had both hands in one of the teasers???

ARTHUR YOU ARE TAKING ENTIRELY THE WRONG MESSAGE FROM THIS CONVERSATION

oh god, you guys are ALREADY gonna mess up history??? my heart can’t take this

steve finally getting the appreciation he deserves for his rapping

“your squire seems touched in the head” b r u h

go claire go, shadow-magic all their butts-

what thE FU- GUNMAR JUST??? SAVED JIM???? EXCUSE??????? WHAT??????????

ahh, it’s just a power trip for him, that makes more sense

i am VERY unsurprised at how fast merlin caught them lol

Episode 3

“my planning is flawless” merlin you and i both know that’s not true, i’m sorry dude but you mess stuff up just like everybody else

arthur. dude. why are you like this. “hurdehur i lost my wife so let’s kill my sister too” arthur you’re a dumbass

OH MY GOD I SEE BESSIE. OR BESSIE’S ANCESTOR. BUT S T I L L

eeeuuuggghhhh i’m not sure i like the possibility of this new timeline thing. this is what i was worried about, making the plot of trollhunters and 3below irrelevant... but i wanna trust this will work out somehow while not making all the previous stuff irrelevant

my heart is hurting for jim

and jim’s heart is just hurting, like in general lol

why is callista SUCH a massive mood every time she says anything oh my GOD-

OH MY GOD CALLISTA R U D E, NEVER MIND I GUESS-

“hug and make up and not die” is like. the ideal life goal. lol

i love how morgana’s name is just. chillin’ under arthur and gwen. lmfao, the big third wheel mood

arthur you bitch, leave cute child nari alone

STALKLINGS!!!!! also, oh nooo gwen, oh heckerdoodles

both morgana and arthur have VERY pretty eyes, it must run in the family

oooohhhhh no, they’re attacking a gumm-gumm, you IDIOTS-

BULAR HECK YEAH- i mean this is bad but yo i LOVE seeing bular again lol.

oh no you attacked gunmar’s SON oh heck he is going to get y’all’s asses, aaaAAAAAA

i’m already in so much pain you guys

OH YAY THEY’RE GOING TO OLD TROLLMARKET I’M SO EXCITED AM I GONNA SEE DICTATIOUS????

oh gosh... steve... you poor idiot omg how are you not dead yet

oh, we not in old trollmarket, we in tombro... i feel so bad for callista. :(

“he was tall for his age!” shgfdjfgkhj jim omg-

stuff is happening to jim and i CANNOT handle it, stop HURTING my BOY AAA A A AA A A A A A

uh-oh, i’ve seen THIS clip already... shadow clone jutsu time lmaooooo

steve is REALLY mvp in all these scenes lmfao

i’m liking these episodes, but this arc between morgana and claire feels a little rushed. like i get the general message and that the timeframe doesn’t allow for a lot of fleshing out, but they both seemed to trust each other a little too quickly, it makes the whole “betrayal” thing less heavy as it could be

“oh hey, feelings lol” callista is literally just all of us but saltier lol ...

OH HER HAND

W H A T

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

i was JUST talking about how things didn’t feel as heavy as they should’ve and then morgana got her hand sliced off and died holy CRUD what IS THIS

BLINKYYYYYY AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH YES HERE WE GO

Episode 4

oh dang, we starting out with claire’s trauma nightmares, why must you DESTROY ME LIKE THIS, WIZARDS?????

ok i gotta say it... merlin is a simp for arthur

“that doesn’t sound like a REAL problem steve” well if you take into consideration that steve’s dad probably gave him crippling self-worth issues, then it kinda could be

this ride to the lady of the lake is making me think of that one scene from half-blood prince with all the creepy water goblins... same cave/water aesthetic

AAAAAHHHHH DICTATIOUS THERE HE IS!!!!! HE LOOKS SO CONCERNED AND ADORABLE I LOVE HIM

dwoza!!!!

dictatious is being SUSPICIOUSLY nice during this scene lmao... i’m used to him being such a petty bitch

i love seeing archie transform omgggg he’s so beautiful

i knew merlin was going to have some angst, but i was not expecting this dark turn so early asgfhfjgk (i don’t blame him for not wanting to lose douxie after seeing morgana just die though tbh)

aaarrrgghh!!! AAARRRGGHH!!!!! kick gunmar’s ass bby

i very much do not like gunmar touching my boy aaarrrgghh

evil aaarrrgghh makes me so uncomfortable. but like. in the good way. this was the intended effect, i think. lol

“open up!” *steve starts talking about his problems and the doors actually talk to him about it* - this is the best play on this joke i’ve ever seen ashfgdgjfgkh it’s literallY LIKE THAT ONE FREAKIN’ VINE-

steve is CRYING oh my GOD lmao-

that was a REALLY ghostly flashback of morgan- oH SHIT THERE WAS A GHOSTIER ONE HOLY HECK I’M SLIGHTLY SCARED OF THIS-

oh god claire i am SO SCARED FOR CLAIRE RIGHT NOW WHAT THE F UC K

oh hey morgana’s... alive???

HOLY SHIT ARE THEY TRYING TO TRAUMATIZE KIDS WITH THIS SHOW???? those soulless black eyes, the way she turned her head, it was legitimately terrifying what the HECK YOU GUYS-

this episode is feckin me up you guys

!!!!!!! my boy dictatious again!!!!! i love him so much lol (i mean i know i’ve seen this scene already but i just love these stupid galadrigals so much aggshfgdfjg)

blinky you are RUDE my dude

oooohhh, i think i’m starting to see why dic switched sides. the whole “join gunmar or die” ultimatum makes that kinda clear now sgfhdgjgdhfsgdg

NIMUE!!!!!!! she’s so tall and pretty!!!!!

nimue is literally just calling out the whole team right now lmaooo

oh yay more nightmare fuel, thanks toa nowhere near as terrifying as claire trauma visions but still

“oh hey, merl” steve p l e a s e

FIRE-BREATHING ARCHIE IS MY FAV THING

.... rest in feckin pieces, steve

AFDSGHDJF HE’S CRYING FOR ELI OMFG- gay

claire PLEASE don’t go making assumptions about edgy knights, he’s not necessarily a morgana person just because he’s edgy my girl

“blinkous, you know how we’re both complete cowards?” “you more than me” OK BUT THIS IS LITERALLY HOW MY BROS AND I TALK TOO ASFGJDHFJ

well... goodbye, cool changeling dude

arthur i still very much don’t like you

dammit angor why did you have to go and save her. i know she wasn’t evil yet but things went SO BAD SO QUICKLY

YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE TO THOSE GOOD TROLLS WHEN YOU GO BEGGING FOR HELP, YOU BITCHES

merlin is a simp for arthur and gunmar is a simp for morgana no you cannot change my mind

Episode 6

oh shit callista IS deya isn’t she??? i saw theories, but i wasn’t sure if it’d actually be true or not

OH HEY IT’S DRAAL

SHUT UP DRAAL, IT’S TOTALLY GONNA BE CALLISTA

gunmar, morgana could beat your ass, don’t test her, man

this training montage is killing me jfc-

aaawww this is a sweet jlaire scene :’) date night!!!

A M U L E T T I M E

“at least she can lend a hand eh???” DOUXIE OMFG

i actually really like how merlin and douxie’s relationship’s been developing, it’s been frustrating at times but i like how it’s going

IT’S ABOUT TIME, ARTHUR YOU TURD

oh shit here comes the eldbitch queen-

morgana you look SO COOL but i wanna FIGHT YOU, YOU ABSOLUTE HECKER

sfgghgdjhfgj they made morgana REALLY creepy in these things... i love it and hate it at the same time lol

STEVE VS BULAR OMG

STEVE VS LANCELOT OH BOY

WHAT THE FUCK???? BULAR JUST SLICED LANCELOT??? IN FRONT OF STEVE???? OH MY GOD THAT POOR KID’S SO TRAUMATIZED

that was brutal, but it also doesn’t surprise me

OH SHIT

ARCANE ORDER WHAT THE HELL YOU GUYS????

merlin get back up you old dramatic fart

i REALLY love how incredibly bi steve is for ANYBODY that can kick ass lmao

where did my coward boy dictatious go

oh my god bellroc cries lava-

GET GUNMAR’S ASS, DEYA

also i’m seeing a major lack of akaridions in this “everybody returns for the world of magic” thing

deya you’re amazing sweetie aaaaaaAAAAAA

how is lance’s face still in one piece

i know this is a kid’s show but bular LITERALLY SLICED HIS FACE

nari why are you with these assholes???

aaahhh so the book canon about dictatious was right after all

i always preferred the “he was a sympathizer/with them all along” theory, but this one probably makes more sense lol

YO IS JIM SERIOUSLY GOING TO DIE????

i DO NOT believe they would actually kill jim lol

so i guess the future still happens normally??? but nobody remembers jim at the battle???

“why don’t they ever talk about that in the history books?” “my burden to bear” oh boy looks like i’ll get my answer to that soon

Episode 8

back to the present we go!!!! i wish we had seen more angor rot, there was only like ten seconds of him :(((

OH NO, JIM D:

well, the future LOOKS normal so far...

“took you long enough” BRUH THEY WERE GONE LIKE TEN SECONDS TO YOU GUYS, CUT DOUX A BREAK

!!!!! shannon!!! be careful what you wish for girl omg

“i have magic powers!” AHSGFDJFGKHLJLK

so merlin remembers the past... i’m so confused about this

LEAVE MY CHILDREN ALONE, YOU GREEN-KNIGHT BASTARD

JIM NO WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?????

WHAT IS GOING ON WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE THAT????? LEAVE MY JIMBO ALONE!!!!!!!!!

i love how incredibly used to the world-ending shit the arcadians are lmfao that is the BEST reaction

... will somebody please get steve out of the outhouse. please.

!!!!!! is it akaridion time???

KREL! KREL!!!!!!!

MY BEST ALIEN SON!!!!!!

zoe is doux’s wizard friend!!!! fandom also called it lol

or... is zoe an akaridion???

aww, poor uhl lol

oh, she’s a tech wizard!!! cool

THE GAY GIRL SHANNON KISSED IS A TECH WIZARD OMG!!!!

zoe has DEFINITELY dealt with her fair share of stupid customers

ohh, so these genesis seal things, was one of them that thing in the deep? it looks like that door that they used to get to gaylen’s core

jimbo :’(

SON of a BITCH is morgana coming back AGAIN???

GODDAMMIT YOU GUYS

i’m getting real tired of this arcane order, screw you guys

even morgana is sick of your bullshit lol

W H A T

ARTHUR IS THE GREEN KNIGHT????

not gonna lie i NEVER saw that coming, not in a million years

“PLEASE! YOU BOTH HAVE VALID POINTS” douxie is literally me trying to reason with fighting people jfc, big mood

“even I know it’s dumb and we’re STILL gonna go inside???” why is EVERYONE in this show SUCH a MOOD

come ON jimbo let’s GOOO don’t do this to me

GODDAMMIT ARCHIE WHYYYY

nari is so precious i love her

WIZARD DAD??? DID STEVE JUST CALL MERLIN WIZARD DAD??? WHAT

skrael’s little chuckle at steve lmfao, i died

okay, now that we’re back in the future, i don’t know if i can get behind a morgana redemption arc, but i know it’s what’s probably coming :/

i still feel bad for her, but she’s done so much extreme things of such a horrible degree

sfghdjfgkhl ARTHUR, HOE, YOU GOOD???

arthur needs to moisturize more

get their asses, merlin. i’m so tired of this arcane order

holy shit, merlin DOES die???

oh my god-

GET THEIR ASSES, DOUXIE

oh dang, good catch doux

he still gonna die though, oop-

this scene hurts, how DARE everybody toy with my emotions like this WHYYYYY

for real though the relationship between merlin and douxie was done amazingly in my opinion, even if the timeframe is a little tight, but i see what aaron meant by this being like a full-length action movie now (though obviously longer lol)

Episode 9

are we?? back in the past????

oh douxie, what are you doing...

oh, this is a flashback, i get it now

oof, my heart

omg the music here is KILLING ME you guys, my heart can’t take this

my heart is broken like the heart of avalon

ARE WE GETTING DRAGONS??? YOOOOOOOO

DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS DRAGONS!!!!!!!!

shut up skrael you bitch

morgana are you ACTUALLY sad about merlin’s death when you just had a major murder boner for him at the eternal night in arcadia????

nari’s eyes are SO beautiful omg, the detail in her design is AWESOME

no jim soul :’(((

maybe jim soul????

DRAGON TIME

ooo, BIG dragon time

that is... not the face i was expecting for a dragon. but i’ll take it lol

awww, archie’s dad! :D they’re both stupid and adorable hsfgdhfjgkh

mmmm not trusting this team-up yet

GODDAMMIT CHARLIE.

oh shit, we have another “destroy the amulet” situation

JIMBO!!!!! OH NO MY SON D:

dammit morgana please don’t poke fun at claire’s trauma you gave her

AGH WHY DOES THIS SHOW HAVE TO HURT SO MUCH

archie has the same reaction to his baby pictures as i do to mine lmfao

my heart hurts for douxie :’(

OH BYE, I GUESS-

this cool blue weird room is hella aesthetic

OH, MERLIN’S SAFE HAD THE SEAL THINGIES

funky

oh shoot, arthur/morgana angst time

“i fought for magic’s freedom, not destruction” hoe you tried to kill a bunch of people AND killed a bunch of trolls don’t pull that card on me-

i’m still slightly sad about this though

ADSFGHDJFGKHL THEIR REACTION TO MORGANA LMAO-

yet ANOTHER episode ending on steve screaming, omfg i’m dying here you guys, i am a simple lady and that dumb scream cut-off makes me chortle like an idiot

Episode 10 (LAST ONE!!!)

krel you are NOT helping-

“she’d leave any of you for dead if it meant her freedom” i don’t know if i should be annoyed or excited that i have a line EXTREMELY similar to this in htfas... different context though, obvs

not liking bellroc’s voice so much anymore

On Arrow, Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) is still behind bars and unable to protect his family, his team and his city in the way that he’d like to. Meanwhile, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) is getting in deeper when it comes to tracking down and dealing with the growing threat of Diaz (Kirk Acevedo) once and for all, and Curtis (Echo Kellum) goes undercover on a mission for ARGUS with Diggle (David Ramsey) and Lyla (Audrey Marie Anderson).

During this one-on-one interview with Collider, which was held at the Warner Bros. Television offices in Los Angeles, actor Echo Kellum, aka Mr. Terrific, talked about the changes of season 7 and what new showrunner Beth Schwartz brings to the show, what it’s like to be living his dream of becoming a superhero, getting to be a part of Team ARGUS, whether Curtis prefers to be in front of the computer or out in the field, the dynamic between Curtis and Felicity, what’s it meant to him to work with Emily Bett Rickards, how Curtis feels about the new Green Arrow, his involvement in the upcoming “Elseworlds” crossover episode, and his dream mission for his character.

Collider: I love the trio of Lyla, Diggle and Curtis. What were the Team ARGUS scenes like to do? Echo Kellum: It’s definitely fun to work with Audrey [Marie Anderson] and David [Ramsey]. They are absolutely extremely talented and professional, but they’re also just so much fun and down to earth and silly. It’s always such a pleasure to work with them. It definitely feels different. That’s the thing I love about our show. You can really mix and match some pieces to get some different dynamics and gold, in a lot of aspects. In season 4, I had never worked with John Barrowman until the last two episodes. It’s so funny that you can have an entire season and never see the actors, and then come in together and have these fun, interesting scenes with each other. It’s really cool.

Is it fun for Curtis to feel like he’s the one who’s sort of in charge of the mission because they’re relying on him to guide them? EK: Yeah, it’s really fun! I always love Curtis when he’s focusing on tech and that aspect. I always love him being in the field, too, but it’s nice to switch it up and have him be in charge, in the van and on computers, and telling them what to do.

Do you feel like Curtis is much more comfortable with hanging out in a van with computers than he is going out in the field and fighting as Mr. Terrific? EK: Just based on seeing his trajectory, going out into the field, I would have to say that he’s probably more comfortable in the van. There are less punches being thrown his way, so that’s always nice. But I really do feel like he was coming into his own in the field, too. If he had a preference, it probably would be behind the computer with tech. He can send the T-Spheres out.

When you think back to when you first signed on to be a part of this TV series, is where you’re at with the story and character now, in season 7, anything like you could have imagined? EK:: No way! You can think many different things, but until you’re actually thrust into it, you just don’t have the perspective. It’s interesting. But I really love where the characters went, and I love what the writers have done for them. It’s a blessing, just to get to see how it all has been playing out, over the last four years. There’s definitely been a lot of surprises, along the way, but I think they do such a good job with the show. I do my job, but then I get to go home and look at the rewards from the hard work that we’ve put in, and see how much the fans love it and reach out. It’s been really cool.

As someone who’s clearly a fan of this type of project, did you have any hopes or expectations when you signed on, and did you meet them? EK: Yeah. What’s funny is that, before I auditioned for this show, a couple of best friends and I had come up with this thing, called Let’s Take Over Hollywood. Basically, what that meant to us was working out every day, writing as much as we could, and really giving in fully to our careers. I went to the gym and was going hard and was like, “We’re gonna be superheroes!” And then, I booked this show. They said, “Well, he has the potential to be Mr. Terrific,” and I was like, “That’s pretty sweet!” And then, when it actually started happening, I was like, “I can’t believe it! This was a game plan of mine, two years ago, and now it’s actually happening and coming into fruition. This character is really dope!” It’s still very surreal. I look back now and I’m like, “Wow, that’s part of my life!” This is all still a shock, and I pinch myself. It’s one of the coolest things in the world, coming up and getting picked on for being a nerd, my entire life, to having the privilege to show people what I saw, as a kid. To get beat up and then rewarded for the same thing is really cool. I’m just in a constant state of shock that I even get to do this in my life, and to get to do it with such a cool character on such a great show, and run by a great studio and network is like all of the cherries on top. I’m just so grateful. And I’ve got a super suit. I literally have a suit that will forever be tied to me. That’s so cool, that I will be in the echelon of the DC comics lore.

As a fan, do you ever think about how you’re a part of the show that launched all of the other DC shows, and that you also get to have crossover episodes that bring everybody together? EK: That is never lost on me. It’s very surreal. I’m still very close with my best friends, from when I was nine and ten years old. We still talk, almost every day, and every once in awhile, we’ll be like, “Dude, life is nuts!” This is really, really, really, really not something we thought would ever happen, getting to be on a comic book show for the comic books we used to read, as kids. I’m so fortunate, and I’m so thankful that I get to be in this position in life, where little kids get to look up to this character and say, “I wanna do that!,” or “I wanna act!” That’s the most amazing thing. That’s what I saw as a kid, watching people on TV, like Will Smith and Jim Carrey, when I said, “I wanna do that!” The fact that there might be a group of four friends out there who love comic books, watch the show and go, “I wanna act!,” that is one of the dopest things in the world.

Are you a part of this next crossover? EK: Yeah, I did get to be a part of the crossover. It was really cool. It definitely has a different feel, and it’s awesome. It was really awesome to be on set, during this crossover, and get to work with everyone, to get to see Grant [Gustin] and Stephen [Amell] like I’ve never seen them before, and to get to work with John Wesley Shipp. It was the coolest. I feel like this whole interview is just me saying that I’m blown away and can’t believe my life, but it was just one of those moments where you have to take it in and be like, “Woah, this is my life. This is what I do.” It was very, very awesome to be a part of the crossover this year.

Without revealing any spoilers, was there a specific stand-out moment for you? EK: Absolutely, there was a moment. The biggest moments for me were when I got to work with John Wesley Shipp. I can’t really go into detail on what was happening in the scene, but I had to keep reminding myself to stay in the scene and not get lost in working with him.

It seems as though the team is pretty spread around this season. Everyone has the same bigger goals, but all of the characters also have their own things going on. Has that been an interesting shift for you? EK: Yeah. If you look at the first part of last season, especially before we split up, there was a lot of team stuff. Especially when Diggle was Green Arrow, we were all heavily teamed up. So now, to be in these different pockets is a very interesting perspective. I really like it, though. It’s nice just to mix it up sometimes, but we definitely still get to play with each other, which is great, and have those team aspects. It’s nice to be in your own zone and have the different dynamics with the characters.

With Felicity seemingly willing to go to any lengths to get Diaz, is Curtis starting to worry about her? EK: How traumatizing is it, everything she’s been put through with Diaz? Her husband is in jail, and this guy is still trying to terrorize her. She’s off, trying to live her new life with pink hair, and this dude is still coming at her and William. The thing is that she’s just tired of running and tired of being chased by this guy. She wants to be proactive and take him down. Sometimes when you’re blinded by revenge, it might not work out best. She almost left John hanging on the train. I get that aspect of enough is enough. That will create some friction between her and Curtis, for sure, but in the end, he will support his friend. They all know that Diaz is a problem and they want him off the grid, not creating and sewing confusion and destruction in the city. Curtis will go about it the traditional way of using ARGUS and the police. They’re all supporting the same mission, but they have different ways of going about it, which they definitely will discuss with some tense back and forth conversations.

Because we’ve really gotten to know Curtis through his relationship with Felicity, what’s it been like to have Emily Bett Rickards to share this experience with? EK: It’s been amazing! She really set the tone for what the show was, when I came on. I remember when I first booked the role and I was watching it, I was like, “Oh, man!” It’s a little intimidating to go onto a hit show because you feel everyone is gonna be like, “Don’t look me in the eye, and also refer to me as Mr. Amell!” But then, when I got on set, Emily treated me as if I had been there from the beginning, and that’s how everyone is. Everyone is super accepting and loves working with each other. It was a very amazing moment to work with her and see how down to earth she was, and the rest of the cast. I literally love working with her. She’s a really great person, and really funny, too. Everyone is so funny. We laugh so much on set, and they’re screaming at us like, “Actors!” We’re like, “Sorry!” When you have fun on set, that really comes through on screen. You can see that people really enjoy each other, and we do that. That’s what I learned from Emily.

What can you say to tease what’s next, after this week’s episode, especially for Curtis? EK: Definitely, you’ll see Curtis getting into the field in some different ways than you ever have. He’s gonna be going undercover with ARGUS in some capacities. Whether he’s 100% on board or not doesn’t matter, he definitely will do what he can. You’re also gonna see him really struggling with the consequences of last year and what he wants to do, in terms of either getting back out into the field or chilling at ARGUS. There will be some really interesting things happening for him, in the future.

How does he feel about where things are at now? EK: He’s definitely torn. A part of him definitely enjoys being at ARGUS, and a part of him misses being more active, out in the field, doing what he can to help the denizens of Star City. I think although he is torn, he’s probably landed on the side of doing what he can while abiding by the plea deal and running the innoventions department at ARGUS.

How does Curtis feel about the new Green Arrow vigilante? EK: He definitely doesn’t agree with everything that the new Green Arrow is doing. There’s a part of him that thinks, if the person is doing the right thing by the citizens, that maybe it’s a good thing, but he also wonders what’s going on with this person.

At the beginning of this season, when they clued you in on the general idea of where things would be headed, did they tell you who the new Green Arrow is? EK: Nope! They stopped telling me secrets about the show, a long time ago. I used to give out way too many spoilers. I spoiled who Prometheus was before the show ever aired, and no one caught it, thankfully. I posted a picture of the whole cast, and Josh Segarra as Prometheus was right there. I posted it online, and then one of the people in the office was like, “I don’t think you can post that picture.” I was like, “Oh, my god, I’ll take it down!” Nobody ever saw it, but now they know not to share stuff with me, so I have no idea. I’m definitely curious. I think that what Beth [Schwartz] and her crew are doing is some really fun stuff. People are in for a great time this season.

What’s it like to have a new showrunner in season 7, with Beth Schwartz taking over? EK: It’s always nice to switch it up and get a fresh pair of eyes on it. Obviously, Beth has been in the trenches of the show. She started off as an assistant and now she’s so showrunning, so she has a personal feel for the show and knows everything about the show. She’s such a brilliant study of all that comes into this, and she’s done such a great job, jumping in feet first. We’re all really thankful that she is as talented and brilliant as she is, and that she’s breathing a lot of new life into the show. I think people are gonna be really, really happy with where it goes this season.

If you could have Curtis go on any type of mission, what would it be? EK: A mission to get the T-Spheres to have the ability to fly Curtis around the world. That’s the mission I want him to work on. He needs to be flying. We need to work that out. If you could talk to the effects people, Warner Bros. and Beth, tell them that I want to get that in. I wanna fly and go through different dimensions.

THE FINAL PROBLEM (PART 1)

“May be the hardest case of your career”

1. THE GREAT GAME

JIM: D’you know what happens if you don’t leave me alone, Sherlock, to you? SHERLOCK: Oh, let me guess: I get killed. JIM: Kill you? N-no, don’t be obvious. I mean, I’m gonna kill you anyway some day. I don’t wanna rush it, though. I’m saving it up for something special. No-no-no-no-no. If you don’t stop prying, I’ll burn you. I’ll burn the heart out of you. SHERLOCK: I have been reliably informed that I don’t have one. JIM: But we both know that’s not quite true.

2. A SCANDAL IN BELGRAVIA

Making Sherlock aware of John’s feelings for him & making John jealous. So The Fall will have a bigger emotional impact on them.

IRENE: And somebody loves you. If I had to punch that face, I'd avoid your nose and teeth too.

IRENE: The key-code to my safe. JOHN: What was it? IRENE: Shall I tell him? My measurements.

You quote the whole episode but the Battersea scene is the key here (the conversation between John and Irene which Sherlock eavesdrops)

SHERLOCK: Oh, you’re rather good. IRENE: You’re not so bad. JOHN: John Hamish Watson – just if you were looking for baby names.

(Sherlock’s monologue shows him opinion on love at that point but it’ll also be important later on) SHERLOCK: I imagine John Watson thinks love’s a mystery to me but the chemistry is incredibly simple, and very destructive. When we first met, you told me that disguise is always a self-portrait. How true of you: the combination to your safe – your measurements; but this is far more intimate. This is your heart and you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any random number and walked out of here today with everything you’ve worked for but you just couldn’t resist it, could you? I’ve always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage... Thank you for the final proof.

3. THE REICHENBACH FALL

SHERLOCK: So how’re you going to do it ... burn me? JIM: Oh, that’s the problem – the final problem. Have you worked out what it is yet? What’s the final problem? I did tell you... but did you listen? How hard do you find it, having to say “I don’t know”? SHERLOCK: I don’t know. JIM: Oh, that’s clever; that’s very clever; awfully clever.

Okay, let’s stop here for a minute... Sherlock geniuely didn’t know what The Final Problem was, and he didn’t even get it on the roof (SH to Jim: I am you. Prepared to do anything. Prepared to burn.), distracted by the ‘code’ and Jim’s fairytale stories. The suicide was exactly what Moriarty wanted, because TFP was all about the consequences of Sherlock’s ‘death’.

“What’s the final problem? I did tell you... but did you listen?”

Back to TGG: I’ll burn the heart out of you. SHERLOCK: I have been reliably informed that I don’t have one. JIM: But we both know that’s not quite true.

The heart is John Watson. Jim’s (or Mycroft’s really, but I’m not gonna get into that here) plan was to break John. By ‘killing’ himself Sherlock saved his friends. But.. did he really?

JOHN: You ... you told me once that you weren’t a hero. There were times I didn’t even think you were human, but let me tell you this: you were the best man, and the most human ... human being that I’ve ever known and no-one will ever convince me that you told me a lie, and so ... There. I was so alone, and I owe you so much. No, please, there’s just one more thing, mate, one more thing: one more miracle, Sherlock, for me. Don’t ... be ... dead. Would you do ...? Just for me, just stop it. (He gestures down at the grave.) Stop this.

4. THE EMPTY HEARSE & THE SIGN OF 3

John trapped in an unhappy relationship with Mary, pining for Sherlock

I’ll burn the heart of out you... literally.

MARY: Oh my God, oh my God. Do you have any idea what you’ve done to him? SHERLOCK: Okay, John, I’m suddenly realising I probably owe you some sort of an apology. JOHN (in a whisper): Two years. I thought ... (He groans, unable to continue and gesturing helplessly. Mary stares at him in sympathy. John finally straightens and turns to Sherlock.) JOHN: I thought ... you were dead. Now, you let me grieve, hmm? How could you do that? How?

In TEH, Sherlock still hasn’t figured it out. He accuses John of overreacting and plays a trick on him to force forgiveness. Although the realization of all the pain he put John through starts to slowly sink in.

The wedding, both John and Sherlock pining for each other, Mary stands in the way. There’s no hope for Sherlock to be with John anymore, even though he wants to.

MRS HUDSON: I remember she left early. I mean, who leaves a wedding early? So sad.

(He walks through his bedroom to his wardrobe, where a morning suit is hanging from the open door. He looks at it.) SHERLOCK: Into battle.

SHERLOCK: Ah, that’s why he’s bouncing round him like a puppy. MARY: Oh, Sherlock! Neither of us were the first, you know.

MYCROFT: Oh, by the way, Sherlock – do you remember Redbeard? SHERLOCK: I’m not a child any more, Mycroft. MYCROFT: No, of course you’re not. Enjoy not getting involved, Sherlock.

Just... the whole episode, It’s all p a i n

5. HIS LAST VOW

John’s just back from the honeymoon, already missing Sherlock. Sherlock finds relief in drugs, sells John a lie it was for a case. In TRF, Moriarty talks about pressure points, so does Magnussen in HLV.

MAGNUSSEN: Very hard to find a pressure point on you, Mr Holmes. The drugs thing I never believed for a moment. Anyway, you wouldn’t care if it was exposed, would you? But look how you care about John Watson. Your damsel in distress. JOHN: You put me in a fire... for leverage? MAGNUSSEN: Oh, I’d never let you burn, Doctor Watson. I had people standing by. MAGNUSSEN: I’m not a murderer ... unlike your wife.

(In S4, Mary is a mirror for Sherlock. If you think S3 is EMP as well, you could say Mary is a mirror here, as well)

Mary shoots Sherlock. Forwards or backwards? Backwards. So from now on, we’re going through everything that has happened before.

6 .THE ABOMINABLE BRIDE

This episode is extremely important, because Sherlock finally realises what’s The Final Problem, then S4 is solving it.

In TAB, Sherlock tries to figure out how Moriarty survived and what happened on the roof. (Funny thing is, we’ve got three final problems in BBC Sherlock - TRF, TAB and TFP. Proof that it’s what Sherlock is still working on)

HOLMES: Gun in the mouth; a bullet through the brain; back of the head blown clean off. How could he survive?

Deep waters, going deeper into his mind (will be important in S4)

I shall have to go deep. Into What? Myself.

These are deep waters, Watson, deep waters. And I shall have to go deeper still.

You're in deep, Sherlock, deeper than you ever intended to be.

H: Still not awake, am I? Moriarty: Too deep, Sherlock, way too deep. Congratulations, you will be the first man in history to be buried in his own Mind Palace.

MORIARTY: This is how we end, you and I. Always here, always together. HOLMES: You have a magnificent brain, Moriarty. I admire it. I concede it may be even be the equal of my own. MORIARTY: I’m touched. I’m honoured. HOLMES: But when it comes to the matter of unarmed combat on the edge of a precipice you’re going in the water short-arse. MORIARTY: Oh, you think you’re so big and strong, Sherlock! Not with me! I am your WEAKNESS! I keep you DOWN! Every time you STUMBLE, every time you FAIL, when you’re WEAK ...: I ... AM ... THERE! No. Don’t try to fight it. LIE BACK AND LOSE! Shall we go over together? It has to be together, doesn’t it? At the end, it’s always just you ... AND ME! WATSON: Professor, if you wouldn’t mind stepping away from my friend. I do believe he finds your attention a shade annoying. MORIARTY: That’s not fair. There’s two of you! WATSON: There’s always two of us. Don’t you read The Strand?

What’s different here is that John saves Sherlock, rather than Sherlock being like ‘alone protects me’. Sherlock should have trusted John in TRF. He finally gets it. And we get this beautiful moment:

HOLMES: Thank you, John. WATSON: Since when do you call me John? HOLMES: You’d be surprised. WATSON: No I wouldn’t. Time you woke up, Sherlock. I’m a storyteller. I know when I’m in one. HOLMES: Of course. Of course you do, John. WATSON: So what’s he like? The other me, in the other place? HOLMES: Smarter than he looks. WATSON: Pretty damned smart, then. HOLMES (smiling): Pretty damned smart.

This is a huge turn, because from now in Sherlock will be aware of the consequences of TRF and what it did to John, then he’ll solve The Final Problem.

7. THE SIX THATCHERS

There are so many parallels in S4 not because the writers are ‘lazy’ but because Sherlock’s going ‘backwards’. Lemme bring a few lines from TAB: 1. MORIARTY: Is this silly enough for you yet? Gothic enough? Mad enough, even for you? It doesn’t make sense, Sherlock, because it’s not real. None of it. This is all in your mind. 2. MORIARTY: Doesn’t it remind you of another case? Hasn’t this all happened before? There’s nothing new under the sun. What was it?

Btw, I listed the deep waters quotes form TAB. Now think about water in S4.

S4 is just a cont. of TAB.

What’s important in S4 is that Mary is a Sherlock mirror.

MARY: My darling. I need to tell you this because you mustn’t hate me for going away. I gave myself permission to have an ordinary life. I’m not running. I promise you that. I just need to do this in my own way. but I don’t want you and Sherlock hanging off my gun arm. I’m sorry, my love. I know you’ll try to find me, but there is no point. Every move is random and not even Sherlock Holmes can anticipate the roll of a dice. I need to move the target far, far away from you and Rosie, and then I’ll come back, my darling. I swear I will.

Isn’t it familiar...? Yes, this is a reference to Sherlock hiding after TRF. Many Happy Returns. Just replace ‘you and Sherlock’ with ‘you, Mrs Hudson and Lestrade’.

MARY: I didn’t know what else to do. JOHN: You could have stayed. You could have talked to me. That’s what couples are supposed to do: work things through. MARY: Yes, of course. JOHN: Mary, I may not be a very good man, but I think I’m a bit better than you give me credit for, most of the time. MARY: All the time. You’re always a good man, John. I’ve never doubted that. You never judge; you never complain. I don’t deserve you. All I ever wanted to do was keep you and Rosie safe, that’s all.

Sherlock’s trying to untangle the mess he’s done.

SHERLOCK: What did you hear, Ajay? When you were a prisoner, what exactly did you hear? AJAY: What did I hear? Ammo. Every day as they tore into me. Ammo. Ammo. Ammo.

SHERLOCK: How’s your Latin, brother dear? MYCROFT: My Latin? SHERLOCK: Amo, amas, amat. MYCROFT: I love, you love, he loves.

Sherlock tortured by love/thinking of John when in Serbia...

NORBURY killed Sherlock Mary

SHERLOCK: If you ever think I’m becoming a bit full of myself, cocky or over-confident would you just say the word ‘Norbury’ to me, would you?

Wasn’t he cocky and over-confident on the roof? He definitely was and as it turned out, he had no idea what he was doing. Idk about you, but I’m amazed at the character development.

Sherlock Mary dies - and it breaks John.

Sherlock asks Ella for help: I need to know what to do about John.

He finds a CD - MISS ME?

I’m giving you a case, Sherlock. When I’m gone – if I’m gone – I need you to do something for me. Save John Watson. Save him, Sherlock. Save him.

--------------------------

I’ll post the second part as soon as I have some free time & energy. Didn’t want to squeeze everything into one post, because it’s too long anyway. I didn’t reread it, so sorry for all the mistakes. Transcripts x
