During last night's episode, Felicity Smoak got a codename. Not the one that most folks expected, Oracle… but rather Overwatch. Though Oliver Queen mentions that Oracle was already taken.

So where did the name come from? Maybe it was from here:

Marc Guggenheim's novel Overwatch, available in print, digital or audio on Amazon.com, was published back in April of 2014. With the following synopsis:

Alex Garnett has spent his life in the shadow of his father, a former Chief of Staff and Solicitor General to two presidents who's been responsible for getting Alex every job he ever had, including his latest: attorney for the CIA. However, a seemingly routine litigation leads to a series of unexpected events, including poison, kidnapping, torture and murder. As casualties pile up, it becomes clear Alex is the final target in someone's blood-soaked attempts to cover their tracks.

As a fellow novelist I give Marc all the credit in the world for plugging his novel… wonder if I could get him to mention Lucius Fogg on the show… maybe as a movie poster in the background… in the far back.
