Yes. It was a very very good episode!

She didn't get that much screentime but the minutes she got, she was epic. Her acting is always spot on. She didn't need to say a lot, but when she was in the bed talking about what happend to her and that's why she thought Oliver didn't come visit her - it broke my heart. I couldn't stop myself from crying

Emily is just getting better and better with her acting! Love her

The chemistry is insane. INSANE

I can't remember last time I saw chemistry like that. They are amazing in scenes together, great connection as actors and play off each other in a authentic way

And it it feels all natural

Wasn't expecting to see Felicity awake and relatively okay in the first five minutes of the show. I really thought that she'd be unconcious for the majority of the episode and they'd have everyone wondering through the ep whether she'd be okay.

Loved seeing Thea right there with Donna at Felicity's bedside. And then Diggle and Laurel come in.

"I have never been more ready to have a bunch of guys poking around inside me... Doctors! Doing doctor things." YESS. I needed another Felicity innuendo.. I don't think we've had enough this season, and even going through all this.. she pulls one out. Also loved that Diggle smiled even before she corrected herself. Heh.

Was good to see Lyla and get some Lyla/Diggle.

I'm glad Laurel found out about her dad and Felicity's mum. Hug was awkward.

I liked that there was little difficulties show in the ep with the team and technical stuff. Thea not being able to hack something.. and Diggle's "Couldn't work through all the layers without Felicity."

The Olicity scenes. Okay, despite me liking characters not being happy that Oliver wasn't there (Thea, Donna) I wasn't mad that he wasn't. I wished he was, but I don't think it was OOC and he apologised and I know that he's going to be there for her now. (plus she did have everyone else there for support)
The bali things was cute. Will we be hearing of them going to be Bali again..? Would it be too repetitive of the last season finale if they went there at the end of the season?
Great acting from Emily here! Her tears as she mentioned being paralysed and her fears that Oliver would leave her because of it.

On that subject - I'm a bit disappointed that we didn't get to see Felicity herself be told that it was permanant. I just hope that in the following episodes we'll get to see her emotions and reactions to her new situation.

"She's stronger than all of us."
"You wont get an argument from me."


DD's wife.. worse than him in that scene.

Now I get why they used the flash forward in the promo.. because it was shown again in the episode. I like that they put it at the beginning of the episode, and then ended the episode with more of it revealed.
First: YES YES YES. I didn't think it was Felicity at this point, but it was nice to have that confirmation.
But then there comes the bad.. Oliver and Felicity have this coldness between them and there's no ring on her finger.

And Felicity has gone from asking Oliver what the point is if he loses himself in the process.. to telling him to kill someone.. angrily.

I suppose Felicity being awake and relatively fine was supposed to make the impact of her paralysis at the end a bigger shock. Of course it doesn't work if you've been spoiled about it. I'm sad too that we didn't get a scene between Felicity and her mother alone.

Darkh's wife being worst than him explain why she wasn't all that bothered when he was outed as a terrorist

I'm good with everything in the FF : speculations about Felicity being in the grave can finally stop and I'm very ok with them being broken up. He lied to her for months about having a side family, the least she can do is to dump his ass. I won't even mind if they delay their reunion till next season

she was amazing
