I like to think he sees her as a bit of an equal and thus assumes a little aristocratic privilege on her part.

He knows that if he says no, he would have to deal with spiky rodent-farts again.

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

I think Felicity's there as sort of an on-demand specialist anyway. So far the only work we've seen her doing is repairing a hard drive everyone else thought was scrap and being a sounding board for the boss.

Watching the episode again. Why did everyone freak out about Laurel sending ESU to deal with the bank situation? Even Felicity describes it as a riot.

Also Lilah is on a mission to Santa Prisca! Bane!!!

Well when you have a group of people at an angry gathering usually sending the cops in just escalates the situation because now those people have someone they can hit.

I still can't decide if the guy is actively hitting on her or just clueless about how it looks because his brain is focused on ten other things.

The other option being to let them go hog wild and tear up a city block? That one dude was busting out the window. From there it only gets worse.

It would be dumb for Roy to be the killer because it's likely nobody would ever forgive him and that would ruin him for the show.

Why can't the hitting on her be one of the ten? I think Routh's character is the typical ADHD genius.

The more I see of Routh in Arrow the more I'm kind of bummed out that he got anchored to Superman Returns.

The guy is actually a really great and charismatic actor. Hell his run on Chuck was some of the best stuff in that show IMO.

He really is. He brings up the rest of the cast just by being there to interact with it feels like. I never saw Chuck.

As someone else mentioned, if that were the case then he wouldn't know her final words. He either had to have been there, or else someone made him know her final words somehow, but either way it's not just his subconscious playing tricks.

Sarah's final words remind me of the episode of NTSF:SD:SUV where the president of the navy's son is kidnapped.

"Hey what are you doing here? You're a person I recognize! I know your name! Your actions are unexpecteeeeed!"

I knew for sure it wasn't him when I saw in the promo for the next ep that he is instantly telling Felicity about it, which usually isn't done when hiding a sinister secret

Ollie uses his bow. Diggle shoots arrows out of his gun I guess. Felicity has hacked an arrow shooting robot.

I assumed she has the applied sciences job that Lucius has in the Batman franchise. AKA VP in charge of impractical but cool superhero gadgets.

And did anyone else howl with laughter at Wildcat offering Laurel her choice of... were those boxing robes or karate gis?

Uh, is that Captain Boomerang at the end? Because if it is, that was actually properly menacing and not a joke.
