Laurel's dying wish was that Oliver maintain her Olicity tumblr.

I thought that this episode was doing ok, considering the previous ones. Dumb plot and twists, but no more than what I consider the standard level for the show anyway. At least the fight scenes looked cool this time. And I think the Laurel-death is definitely a fakeout, going by what they have showed us. But, yeah, the writers have screwed themselves... they play this not-really-dead card yet again and have Oliver lie to the rest of the team (and to her heart-attack-prone father) again.

Oliver, I hope you and Felicity can get over this rift your lies have caused. Now I need you to promise me something. I need you to lie to everyone about me dying.

Maybe Sara and Laurel can do alternating seasons on Arrow/LoT.

BECAUSE LAUREL MAKES OLIVER PROMISE HER SOMETHING AND THEN SHE SUDDENLY CODES. Give that link a click, lots of great insight into their "writing process" in the rest of the article for those of you considering sticking with this show.

I don't know, I think he might just be trying to sell it. I mean, they can't possibly be stupid enough to have worked in TV this long and think that filming the ending the way they did says anything but faked death.

So my theory that all the good writers jump ship to whatever new show is being produced at the time holds true apparently.

XboxPants posted:http://www.ew.com/article/2016/04/06/arrow-laurel-death-spoilers I think the best part of the interview is this: Then what did Laurel tell Oliver? “You’ll know in season 5,” Mericle chimes in. So we'll have to wait until next season to find out what she said? Ugh. The Lord Bude posted:But seriously, a character was written off in a TV show. Get over it, it happens all the time and it doesn't magically make a show bad. How did you people ever manage to watch Joss Whedon's stuff? I think people are pissed because if it turns out to be another faked death, it's something the show has already covered. It would've been a neat twist if they hadn't done it before, but now it's just getting tired and old. Not to mention the character has really grown since the series started, and I felt like there was a lot more of a story to tell with her.

This episode officially cemented Arrow as the worst show I watch on TV. Seriously. Worse than Gotham. I'm just getting tired of their Boy-Who-Cried-Wolf bullshit. You can't keep having dramatic death scenes only to retcon them a few episodes down the line (or sometimes even in the same episode) and expect people to keep giving a gently caress. Is Laurel really dead? About the most damning thing I can say about this show is: I don't care. I really don't, because nobody on this show feels like real living, breathing, emotional people, anymore. They all just feel like forced plot contrivances that do dumb, melodramatic poo poo for the sole purpose of driving a stupid plot forward. Even Neal McDonough's forced jocularity shtick is starting to grate on me. I'll do my best to get through the rest of the season. I really hate giving up on shows. But I'm really starting to feel like this might be the last season for me.

computer parts posted:Nah, because she's showing up in the Flash. As an alternate reality version of the character with a different name. I don't believe she left due to conflict with Amell either, the cast posts goofy videos together all the time and the two of them are always full of smiles.

The Amell thing is just something people made up because he's a bad guy for saying he likes Oliver and Felicity together. So he's tearing the cast apart to keep his character and Felicity together, you see.

The last few episodes of Legends have been pretty good. Vandal Savage really was the weak point of the show so far.

He doesn't have to be, because the biggest threat to the universe is how the main characters all range from incompetent to actually retarded.

I don't get this thread, Felicity is so much better than Laurel who was never remotely believable as a fighter regularly taking town LoA fighters. I also don't get the fury over fake deaths on a comic show which is a staple of the genre.

Her drama drags down the show, but hey, this is a CW show after all.

Clearly Barry is going to bring alt-Laurel back from E2 to fill the void. Earth 2 is a recycling bin. We can put supervillains there and take out fresh backup copies of superheroes!

Questions: Did I miss where Merlyn grew a new hand or something? Or got a bunch of LoA people to just show up despite the league being abandoned and the daughter of Ras in the wind?

At least it was better than Walking Dead. Arrow writers have the guts to kill one of the shows core characters. The worst thing is Dig is now going to go into a shame spiral because he knows this is 100% his fault becuase he blindly trusted his brother, and we're going to get a lot of tearful scenes with him and Ollie. And tearful scenes with Ollie and Felicity, and Felicity and Thea, and so on. Something that does confuse me is hasn't anyone put that Damian Darkh and the new mayor are a couple? I mean, Darkh being arrested was on the news, and it's not like they being married would have been a secret.

Andy had been "keeping track of everyone's movements" since the idol was taken and once he found out who had hidden it, he went back to the places they had been. It almost makes sense. twistedmentat posted:it's not like they being married would have been a secret. Pretty sure it was though.

Give one piece to each person to hide. Fedex one to China and at the same time send 20 rocks to people around the globe.

Ooooorrrrrrrrr, "Oh, hey Barry, I hate to bother you, but how long do you think it would take you to take this sack of 10 rocks, run around the country/world, and deposit said pieces in different places? Lets say a rock quarry, 3 different oceans, 1 lake, an active volcano if you can swing it, then you can pick the last 4. Oh, say, do you think you could take a piece with you when you time travel and leave it there? Thanks, man! I owe you a pizza and some beers!"

Did anyone else find the pacing and editing incredibly fast in this episode? I dunno if I'm just tired because it felt like they were cutting between characters and points so fast it lacked all impact and cohesion. I mean, the episode was terrible anyway but the start especially felt ridiculously rushed even when the characters were just talking to each other.
