Man, remember that time Felicity regained her ability to move legs to walk out of Oliver's life. Funny shit, bro.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
It was too much. And that's saying something for a show about leather clad vigilantes that fight gun carrying mercenaries with bows.
They piled Felicity getting Curtis' wildly fantastical device to fix her injury, on top of more relationship drama, on top of her being able to walk again right at that very moment.
Suspension of belief is a weird thing. Like, I can buy the Lazarus Pit. But Curtis pulling that device out of his ass or Felicity creating a quantum processor overnight make me go "Ehhh?" I don't know why, but they just do.

I mean, really, why should the world get to benefit from these revolutionary breakthroughs when Felicity can just have it all?

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
One of the most realistic things the show could do would be having the paralysis-curing technology not make it to market within the time span of the show.
Do you know how long a microchip you fuse to your fucking spine would be in testing?

Well every aspect of her grave disability has been glossed over / handled problematically, so whatevs.
Time waits for no Felicity.

I just watched the most recent episode, and man was it terrible.
Is it just me, or does Arrow feel like a comedy. I was literally laughing the whole time at the dumb stuff that kept happening.
Firstly, who is Vixen? I can't remember seeing her before, but she was pretty useless besides breaking Dark's totem. And the gorilla/cheetah/animal crap from her totem was absolutely ridiculous.
Then the scene where Sam tells Laurel she slept with Oliver while Laurel and him were together, and she was perfectly fine with it. I thought, "Ok, I guess she has moved on cause she didn't even blink". But then she talks to Lance and is balling her eyes out, wtf??
Then Felicity getting upset at Oliver near the end was pretty strange, cause she was totally calm and collected while they were finding William. I understand that, but taking off the ring, like really?
But the best part was after that, when the leg implant in Felicity magically started to work. After weeks of not using her legs, she gets up and crosses the length of the room in 1 second and exits. I'm positive her legs would barely even function after not using them for weeks. lol
Am I the only one, or are we all kinda shocked where Arrow has been going lately?

What about a battery with infinite juice, though?
I mean if all else fails, they could put the character on a bus to somewhere and have them show up occasionally. If you really feel Felicity should be gone, she could go back out to Coast City to start Smoak Technologies or whatever.
Best companion.
Not really, but I'm sad she's not gonna be on the show anymore.
In both cases, they are smart enough to realize it is bad to complain against the woman who just had her kid kidnapped.

Your right, but I wish they had done both scenes better. Maybe shown a sliver of emotion before composing themselves for Sam.

Ollie should just go back to his real wife Nyssa, the (former)assassin woman will probably end up being the least source of drama.
The problem is that she is a lesbian. That means Oliver's favorite hobby is probably off the table.

Which would in turn give him plenty of time and motivation to murder.
This plan just might work.

They would have an open relationship
He had one with Laurel, but that might have been a one-sided open relationship. At least Nyssa wouldn't mind him sleeping with Sara.
If they team up, Star City might be crime free by the end of season 5. It would also be population free with all the murders, but that is a detail.

With enough time watching Oliver doing the salmon ladder Nyssa, like some of us here could start questioning her sexuality.

I doubt it, for the obvious reasons. Why would she be entranced when she could easily watch Sara who's already done it in-universe? Sure she was a corpse up until a while ago, and now time-traveling and probably been like a year and a half since they last spoke, but I still hold out the hope!
Neither of those are Captain Jack
Donna what you skinny guys in suits are talking about.
Captain Jack is a weak companion, he's more fun as a leading man.

This person gets it.
Well, we probably won't see much of Nyssa for a while

Nah, anyone can book a pilot. Going to series is the death knell.

What? No. Miracle Day is TRASH.
Gotta keep the shows lined up timeline wise, probably marketing for BvS (releases same week as both shows return), and filming.
It was never that bad aside the giant vagina monster.

Bah, it totally fucks up the mythos of Jack's immortality, and the end result is something they couldn't possibly undo for a followup season short of a full on reset.
Also Bill Pullman
paedophile–murderer hero
It's just massively terrible, especially coming off of the brilliant Children of Earth. (And I like first series)
In the universe of Doctor Who, just about any bullshit can be handwaved.
That is our favorite hobby.Why would the salmon ladder be off the table?
It is a cop show on CBS. She is stuck for 15 years.
A. Barry forgot to tell Felicity was angry because he hid it; and B. He could have told her at the end of that episode. Like "I discovered something today. I have a son. I found out this morning, but I wanted to kill Savage first. Hope you don't mind?"
This show is doomed.

I don't know whether to laugh or feel sad.
