really enjoyed this episode, one of the rare times they manage to put all of the cast to decent use.

One of the things I enjoyed was seeing all the different interactions that we got. Just about everyone got to work together and we finally got to see everyones reaction to Felicity working with Laurel.

Felicity has been on a path of revenge since the season began and she almost gave into full temptation tonight, I'm sure to help support the suspicion that she went dark in the future which I doubt though I wouldnt be against it. Felicity taking on The Calculator name makes me want an E2 crossover SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO bad! I want to see everyone get to interact with their counterparts and see truly ruthless Felicity. I'm just really hoping that they let future Felicity (because she aint dead) have a ruthless side to her and something that she just lets go after this Diaz arc. I had to laugh when Roy was all "who would want to hurt Felicity" ugh.....plenty of people...she's made a lot of enemies over the years by being part of TA. Diggle giving her a pep talk like dude you havent been there for her emotionally at all this season. Do you two even go out to lunch and just talk about whats going on in each others lives anymore or how she's dealing? You're being a ****ty friend. All of this just makes me think "Where is Felicity living right now?" this is something I really need to know and does she even still have protection? All of this was dropped pretty quickly. I'd expect her to move in with Diggle and fam but at this point just let her live with Laurel until Oliver gets out.

Laurel got plenty of to do tonight and I loved it. I enjyoed that she hit a road block in TA/Oliver because getting in on their good graces shouldn't be easy, they should doubt her and she should have to deal with "I'm trying to be a good person but these people just tell me I'm bad, am I just bad? Can I be redeemed?" and she was about to let go and just give in when she didnt results she wanted. I noticed that they have gone out of their way to put her in white when she has 1:1 scenes with Dinah and Dinah in black/darker colors. TA talking about her as if she isnt there and her being "ugh standing RIGHT here" was a good comedic moment, I got a laugh out of it. Curtis chiming in about "you forgot my birthday!" was not though. Laurel/Oliver scene was also really good though I could've used a pinch more snark from her and remind Oliver that he's worked with bad guys in the past so Felicity working with her shouldnt be a surprise. Here's hoping we get a scene with those 3 in the future.

The team getting Diaz seemed way to easy and then Felicity/Laurel are able to waltz in like its no big deal? I cant belive that Dinah would not have an entire team guarding that room, let alone Diggle not getting Argus involved.

^ I enjoy hearing your thoughts about the episode. I never really thought about those questions in regards to Felicity, but it's true that we don't know where she's living or if she has even had Diggle's support before this since the writer's have been ignoring the fact that they've been around each other and worked together for years.

I really enjoyed the BS and Oliver scene. I agree that redemption should not come easy to her, but Oliver's always been a hypocrite when it comes to certain people since he had done and worked with worse people, so it was nice to see him being called out for only seeing things in black and white when he should know better.

I definitely think things are getting more interesting, I just hope it stays this way.

funnily enough it's usually Laurel who calls him out on that. E1 Laurel has done it before. maybe others don't have the balls to do it but all version of hers tells him when it's due


it's really amazing how Katie can sell comic and emotional scenes equally. her scenes are the real quality and I love that she's getting more screen time with the girls

That's true! And I think it helped that E1 grew up with Oliver, so she wasn't afraid of calling him out. E2 tells it like it is and isn't going to let Oliver get away with what he says and how he's acting. It's such a great thing. Every Laurel sticks to her morals and what she knows is true.

I agree with that statement. Katie is such a great actress, and I love her being able to extend her wings when it comes to acting. She has amazing range that she rarely gets credit for. And yes to more scenes with the girls! I hope we get more soon.

JoJoF92

her performance really isn't praised enough and it should be all the time only her scenes make the watch worth it to me


btw Nic, love your icon

I agree! She can nail so many characters and emotions. It's amazing.

Thank you. The person who made it (credit in my signature) made a bunch so it was hard to decide!
