I didn't find a problem with accent? I didn't recognize the actress so I didn't even know it was a fake accent. The only time I really can recognize a bad accent is if it's someone trying to suppress one and failing badly.

I'll never not want Kacey Rohl as Batgirl. Could still happen - just have Batgirl as a Supergirl ally on Earth-38. She'd kind of be the darker, less sunny counter to Kara anyway, so her Earth-1 doppelganger being a different kind of morally-ambiguous crimefighter really fits.

Am I the only one who yelled angrily at the screen when Felicity inserted a random flash drive from a random possibly crazy person into her computer without taking any precautions? She really ought to know better and I was sure it was going to backfire.

Also holy loving poo poo Dinah Drake. That is out of left field and awesome as hell. Where did this fantastic season come from??? Like, the only thing to complain about is that terrible city backdrop in Ollie's office.

That backdrop is literally the worst on television.

Such a fantastic episode. I've never seen this actress who plays Talia but I thought she was great. I love that she never introduces her self as Talia al Ghul so there's an actual reason why Ollie never mentioned her when the League stuff happened during S3. It's amazing that the show did such a great turnaround in quality over the last two. Here's hoping the rest of the season is just as good.

Lexa Doig. She has a habit of showing up in TV shows filmed in Vancouver.

Fun fact: She's married to Michael Shanks (Daniel from Stargate SG-1)

I definitely feel like she'll show up again in some capacity since it introduced another pretty geeky girl character to the universe as well as another organization that's just riddled with plot hooks that can be grabbed at any time.

I was more caught up on the idea that it supposedly had petabytes of data on it (or did I hear that wrong?). And that Felicity told Ollie to go give Diggle the good news before she'd even looked at what was on there.

She's his wildly unqualified chief of staff, or something.

She's supposed to be at a conference on the show right now. I think they just don't put her in every episode to save money.

I have no idea. However, I didn't really miss her. The team seemed tighter recently and it's probably because they sidelined Diggle, Thea, Evelyn, and Lance. Roster bloat is a recurring problem with this show and keeping several cast members out of the picture gives the other team members more opportunity to develop their characters. Even Felicity revisiting her hacktivist roots was fun to watch and it will hopefully lead to interesting plot developments.

Agreed, it seems super obvious she's going to be a Prometheus agent or something.

Shocked at the amount of people itt who didn't know Kacey Rohl & Lexa Doig. It's almost like they have lives and don't watch every Vancouver sci-fi show... BTW, Kacey was also on The Magicians this week.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

I didn't get the vibe off the hacker girl that she'd become an ally/friend. If she returns I kind of felt like it will be as an antagonist. Basically the whole thing I got from her "you sold out" stuff and "Pandora" is that Felicity will be tempted to go all "cyber vigilante" but she'll find a line that the "hacktavists" don't have. I don't know if it will self contained to Felicity struggling with finding the line or if she'll end up at odds with whatever the name of that group was, but I assume this is going to be her own version of Oliver's "going too far."
