And that's a great seque into this producer's preview for the next episode, which looks to be fairly Felicity-heavy. Definitely getting a Oracle vs. Calculator vibe here, despite neither of these characters being those characters.

Clearly designed as a male nerd fantasy. It helps that she's an actual character that had a bunch of scenes before joining the team. She's not wholly defined as "the nerd who does some nerd crap" like most techy/nerdy characters are on bad shows. They also strike a nice balance of having her be confidently competent in some episodes while still struggling a bit in others, which once again helps establish her as an actual character and not just some kind of magic plot device generator. And lastly, they avoid the most annoying nerd cliche: the super-smug nerd who vomits out a bunch of patronizing techno-babble every time they do something, as if the audience is supposed to be impressed by this obviously fake thing that the writers made up because they don't actually understand how computers work.

She probably doesn't have a father, so Ollie's kinda in this weird flux for her because he's super hot and her age, but she really wants his fatherly approval. That's what's in my head whenever she acts weird around him. She just wants a dad to tell her she matters. Black Dad apparently doesn't do that. Green Dad to the rescue.

Felicity has specifically said she never knew her dad and the producers have said that's plot relevant. Also, it's Barrowman because why not.

I hope Dinah had an affair (or two) with Merlyn, as did Felicity's mom, as did Sin's mom, as did Digg's sister-in-law. Make everyone a Barrowkid.

Barrowman's only truly evil act was to have kids and not stay to be a real father. The earthquake machine murders was a metaphor, not a crime.

That has not stopped the fans from believing the actual actors themselves are secret gay lovers and both their wives are beards. It has not stopped them from getting Jensen Ackles' wife erroneously kicked out of a convention by lying to security and telling them that she was a stalker. There's a reason that every single female character on Supernatural has been written off and that reason is jealous fangirls. Arrow fanbase has a looooong way to go before it even gets close to how bad Supernatural fandom is.

All I'm saying guys, is every second Ollie's arrow is not inside Felicity's quiver is a slap in the face to every single fan out there. And when she flirted with Barry I cried for hours. That's all I'm saying guys, and I think you'd all agree.

He is Ollie, if he is not flirting with everyone he is doing something wrong.

Baldwin should be Hawkman since he has lovely political opinions and he can argue with Ollie about them.

Ignoring Diggle, you have Deadshot, who H.I.V.E. hired to kill Diggle's brother, Diggle's wife Lyla, and this guy called Shrapnel I guess. EDIT: Shrapnel was the guy who tried to bomb Blood's campaign event a couple episodes back.
