《綠箭俠》第四季反派之間的聯(lián)系

　　現(xiàn)在，《綠箭俠》(Arrow)和《閃電俠》(The Flash)已經(jīng)建立最新的在CW播出的DC漫畫衍生劇——《明日傳奇》(Legends of Tomorrow)，這兩個節(jié)目也都已經(jīng)回歸到各自的主線上去了。在《綠箭俠》中，這意味著劇集首映會從冬歇處，也就是在第四季季中末集中，反派Damien Darhk(Neal McDonough飾演) 對 Oliver(Stephen Amell飾演) 和Felicity Smoak(Emily Bett Rickards飾演)的攻擊處繼續(xù)下去。

　　IT女的命運如何，是誰在攻擊中被槍殺，是季中末集的一大懸念，由于澳大利亞冬季首映宣傳活動上的透露，使大家產(chǎn)生了一個新的推測，這個綠箭中的技術高手將會轉變成DC漫畫中的角色神諭。然而執(zhí)行制片人溫迪最近否決了這一理論，現(xiàn)在她對另一種粉絲理論做出評論。

　　EW向制片人詢問關于即將來到綠箭中的新反派Noah Kuttler又名The Calculator(Tom Amandes飾演)是否是IT女的父親的推論時，她沒有完全否認這一理論——不像之前完全否決IT女將成為神諭一樣——但是她也僅僅證實了兩者之間會有聯(lián)系。

　　“可以確定的是，我們對于這個與IT女有聯(lián)系的角色是很激動的。我們真的很興奮。Tom Amandes在這個角色中的表現(xiàn)是讓人驚嘆的，并且他給這個角色帶來了許多的善與惡。”

　　根據(jù)這個角色描述，The Calculator“利用他在計算機和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)方面的特長來要挾Roy [Harper (Colton Haynes)]出山為他做事。” The Calculator將首次出現(xiàn)在第十二集，‘Unchained’作為兩方連接的一部分，我們現(xiàn)在知道了如果IT女真的和這個角色有關聯(lián)的話，那么她將會有新的感情線。

　　考慮到制片人Mericle對關于神諭的理論和The Calculator是IT女的父親的理論的評論，似乎她所指的更有可能是后者。另外，從我們所知道的關于IT女的父親的事——她從父親那里繼承了的高智商以及他是一個在她很小的時候就遺棄了她和她母親的罪犯——The Calculator都十分符合。

　　也就是說，我們目前不能夠確切的知道The Calculator是不是IT女的父親，并且我們估計只有在等到12集播出之后才有可能知道，畢竟這是個相關人員都會保密的大梗。但是，考慮到我們所知道的關于The Calculator和IT女父親的所有線索，他們是同一個人是完全講得通的。另外，這將會在綠箭劇集中給IT女一條不一樣的感情線。

　　Now that Arrow and The Flash have set up the newest addition to their DC Comics universe on The CW, Legends of Tomorrow, both shows have returned to their respective story lines. In the case of Arrow, that meant the show’s midseason premiere dealt with the fallout from the winter finale, which ended on season 4 antagonist Damien Darhk’s (Neal McDonough) attack on Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) and Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards).

　　The fate of Felicity, who was shot during the attack, was a major cliffhanger of midseason finale and, thanks to an Australian promo for the winter premiere, reinvigorated theories that Arrow’s resident tech wiz would become DC Comics character Oracle. Executive producer Wendy Mericle recently shot down that theory, and now she’s commented on another fan theory.

　　EW asked Mericle about the speculation that upcoming Arrow villain Noah Kuttler a.k.a. The Calculator (Tom Amandes) is Felicity’s father. She didn’t completely shoot down the theory – unlike in the case of Felicity becoming Oracle – but she only confirmed that Calculator will have a connection to Felicity.

　　“Definitely tune in. We are very excited about this character. He does have a connection to Felicity. We’re just really thrilled. Tom Amandes has been amazing in the role and is bringing a lot of kindness and a lot of malice to this character.”

　　According to descriptions of the character released when Amandes was cast, The Calculator “uses his advanced skills in computer science and internet manipulation to blackmail Roy [Harper (Colton Haynes)] out of retirement to do his bidding.”The Calculator will first appear in episode 12, ‘Unchained’ as part of a two-part arc we now know will have an emotional component for Felicity if she has a connection to the character.

　　Considering Mericle’s comments about the Oracle fan theory versus the theory about The Calculator being Felicity’s father, it seems more likely that could be the connection to which she refers. Additionally, from what we know about Felicity’s father – she inherited her intelligence from him and he was a criminal who abandoned Felicity and her mother when she was young – The Calculator could certainly fit the bill.

　　That being said, we don’t know for sure whether The Calculator is Felicity’s father, and we likely won’t until episode 12 airs since it’s the type of twist the showrunners will keep secret. But, considering everyone we know about Felicity’s father and The Calculator, it would make sense that they’re the same person. Plus, it would give Felicity a different kind of emotional arc to explore during that episode of Arrow.
