It's worth remembering that both S3 and S4 were relatively well received until after their midseason break. Not at positively as this season but still...

 

[The Silver]

There it is

The decline

Well at least she isn't blaming Ollie, it would've been far too easy for them to pull another S2 Laurel who was insufferable when she went after The Hood.

 

[Volimar]

God I'm so sick of moody, morose, dark good guy characters.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

If they ever do Shiva in this universe I really hope they just let Kelly Hu(China White) play her.

 

[Volotaire]

I've just realised that the flashbacks have not been present for the last few episodes.

 

[ZeroX03]

I've just realised that the flashbacks have not been present for the last few episodes.

There were plenty of flashbacks in the last episode. It's just Russia flashbacks that took a break in the last two episodes, because there was clearly no place for them.

 

[Volotaire]

EDIT: I see.

 

[GulAtiCa]

God I'm so sick of moody, morose, dark good guy characters.

At least goth Felicity has the chance to be much better then annoying emo Cisco..

 

[Platy]

Goth Felicity makes me smile because it remembers the crazy theory that she was secretly Death of the Endless when the pics appeared xD

There were plenty of flashbacks in the last episode. It's just Russia flashbacks that took a break in the last two episodes, because there was clearly no place for them.

actualy ... it was.

Oliver mentioned that a russian woman was the responsible for this show's biggest feats : the FLIPS

 

[ZeroX03]

No, he said a woman in Russia. Big difference.

 

[Sandfox]

So ...

Ollie's love for Laurel has been rekindled since her death. She was the one he was marrying in the "perfect life scenario", not Felicity

Laurel died thinking Olicity was OTP and she was leftovers

We have all the ingredients for "Radioactive 2," but with Felicity in the Tommy role.

I would absolutely love if this happened.

 

[Reptars Revenge]

How do I quote posts from the S4 thread that were telling me I was crazy for saying Laurel would eventually back (like every other character) because I am petty like that. Cough StaticJam Cough. Half of you guys had my back though haha.

 

[Platy]

I loved that the episode mentioned that people always came back to life ... and ended with that =P

No, he said a woman in Russia. Big difference.

Still ... flashback woman.

Also, in related news: Arrow Tragedy Will Push Felicity to a Darker, 'Morally Questionable' Place

That is a good example of justified drama aimed at the right person. Newbies can be mad at Oliver for shit he did, the OTA should be mad at the villains when something happens.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I was legitimately worried that they were going to try to play at an angle where Felicity blamed Oliver. That dog don't hunt this far into the show. Glad they left that idea in the ether.

The idea that Artemis hasn't always been a traitor but switched her allegiance after finding out more about Oliver is also pretty fresh. I'm not a huge fan of "they were evil all along" storylines. So a revelation in the show being what flipped her is solid.

 

[Volimar]

If it is a Laurel somehow, I hope she sticks around for a bit. She was getting better even as most of Arrow was dipping in quality.

 

[KonradLaw]

If they ever do Shiva in this universe I really hope they just let Kelly Hu(China White) play her.

I say go for the broke, cast JeeJa Yanin as Shiva

 

[KonradLaw]

It's worth remembering that both S3 and S4 were relatively well received until after their midseason break. Not at positively as this season but still...

S3 was well recieved solely because of awesome last three eps before the break. It was pure aimless mess before it.

Time to make it real, bring in A'dam west.

 

[morningbus]

Time to make it real, bring in A'dam west.

But I want him on Arrow as an old Bruce Wayne (or Matches Malone if Fox has a problem), not on Supergirl as a Martian.

 

[OdysseusVA]

They should save him for Gotham

The best of DCTV :^)

 

[Jorok Goldblade]

He should have been a retired Wildcat, but they already spent that cameo.

I want to go further, a real visit to Batman '66 world, in 60s style with West and if they can maybe Burt Ward or Julie Newmar. Too bad they lost about every villain actor.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Ugh... what a fucking waste.

 

[morningbus]

I feel like no one is appreciating me seizing on a stray apostrophe to make a Martian joke.

I don't laugh because it stresses that I'm too lazy to correct my phone's spelling.

Goth Felicity is best Felicity.

Noooooo not goth Felicity. Just Felicity who is going dark places but none of the hipster goth shit.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

[strafer]

Goth Huntress and Goth Felicity please.

[Grizzlyjin]

Goth Felicity was in the worst Arrow episode ever. I can't sanction this buffoonery.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

"The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak's Hair Color" was fucking awful but I have a soft spot for hot goth chicks and EBR pulled that off though could've gone a little further in with it.

 

[Platy]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

<3

 

[Joni]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

<3

This just convinces me she should come back.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Honestly surprised it hasn't happened yet.
Though im also amazed they haven't attempted a Gray Ghost reference either.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas.

<3

I approve this message.

 

[Sephzilla]

Goth Felicity is tied to some of the worst episodes of Arrow, so how about no.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Preach. Don't give into the darkness, y'all. I almost want to go back and rewatch it.

 

[morningbus]

I do think some of the Brother Eye stuff is salvageable, though, and probably what they mean by Felicity doing some morally questionable things.

 

[Sephzilla]

I'd personally just prefer we not get any more stories that revolve around Felicity. Felicity-centric plots are where Arrow seasons go to die. She works so much better as a supporting character than a straight up lead.

 

[carlsojo]

Not all Felicity-centric episodes are bad. The one with Clock King was pretty great actually.

I hated Secret Origins though. Haaaated.

 

[Dysun]

Felicity as anything but a bit character is a bad thing

The ending of the last episode actually made me worried about where it may go next year

 

[morningbus]

I swear, everyone spends so much god damn time talking about Felicity.

Go live your lives for the next few weeks, people.

 

[Dysun]

Its almost like people come to the Arrow threads to talk about Arrow

 

[Joni]

They always seemed to talk about another show where Felicity never did anything right and she is the most annoying character on TV.

Yeah, the Curtis/Felicity crying stuff at the end makes me worry we're going to go head first into more of the excessive drama stuff that sank last season. Granted, they did already downplay part of it by having Felicity acknowledge that it wasn't Oliver's fault. I'm worried, but I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt because Season 5 has been lights out so far.

They always seemed to talk about another show where Felicity never did anything right and she is the most annoying character on TV.

So we're talking about Arrow Season 4?

 

[BFIB]

Yay. She's back.

 

[morningbus]

Its almost like people come to the Arrow threads to talk about Arrow

I guess Felicity really is the star of the show.

Imagine if David Ramsey got this amount of constant discussion.

 

[Sephzilla]

David Ramsey's character isn't written into a bigger role due to shippers, though. And is written to be a rational human being.
