I stopped watching this show some seasons ago and it's funny because back then most of you liked Felicity and now apparently she is The Worst

She used to be a good character, but now she is a bad character

This is some great revisionist history.

Most of you were on board until like the last 6 episodes

Episode 15 was Felicity breaking up with Oliver and then immediately regaining the ability to walk

Legit wondering if I should grab a six pack and finish the season where I left off.

Peaced out right after Laurel's last words were "Felicity is so much better than me, go put your dick in her some more."

Honestly, if you're just catching up for the next season, it'd probably be better to just read onbenchnow's commentaries

Also Felicity left her apartment door open when she came home and it annoyed the poo poo out of me.

Let's not nitpick. The main thing is that she's not letting the fact that she's responsible for the destruction of a town and the deaths of ten thousand people get in the way of her love life. Get yours, girl.

*checks thread*

Okay cool, no. I'll check back around the midpoint of the season. Good luck and godspeed, the rest of you.

I think the response to this season has been pretty positive. We're making GBS threads all over the Felicity scenes, but that's mainly the legacy of last season

Unless you apply the context of her being responsible for the deaths of thousands and living in a stolen apartment. That's what I mean by the legacy of the last season. Just ignore that and they were fine

Just stealing scripts from the Doctor Who dumpster I guess.

The difference between Doctor Who and Legends of Time is that I think with this season the Legends of Time writers realized that the show they're making is stupid

The comic version has white panels and red piping, that, IMO, make it look a lot better than the all black of the TV version

I feel like Ragman has a distinct advantage over the other recruits. He's apparently a magic Golem man with a mystical cloak that makes him bulletproof. And explosion-proof.

And *nuclear explosion*-proof. Didn't he survive the blast because of rag powers?

According to Wikipedia, the reason he doesn't get hurt is the rags are full of the souls of evil people, and the souls take damage instead of him.

It really helps that they scaled everything back and made the lead villain an ordinary if enjoyably charismatic crimeboss. No more saving the world, just lowering the crime rate in Star City and building a legacy of crimefighting. And looking good while doing it

Yeah, in the comics his weakness is being on fire. Literally, his powers don't work when he's on fire. Also, he is burned by fire. Not more than you or I would be, but that's still enough

Everybody talking about E2 Laurel coming on the show clearly don't realize what it will do to Quentin. Poor guy would probably just implode with grief and confusion.

Really great episode and kinda obvious even to people who don't know comics that the DA fella is the Vigilante. Also this reporter lady/Ollie romance is kinda shoehorned in but it isn't too in the way. It seems like the only drama we really get anymore is between the newbies and Ollie which I am okay with since it doesn't pop up too often. Do we have anymore theories about Prometheus's identity?

It's Tommy

They could end it and restart as Green Arrow and the Outsiders. It'd be really good. Season 5 is suppose to be the "last".

That's what I've been saying. They need to change formats after season 5 anyway, because they're out of flashbacks. Switching to an ensemble piece would prevent them having to do the "Oliver can't trust people" and "Oliver can't decide if killing is good" storylines over and over again. Plus it'd let Amell skip the odd episode so he can do other projects.

Why does every shared hallucination have an easily accessible exit door and why are the pods never locked or in a locked room?

Bad guys fumble this ball every single time.

I mean, they were presumably monitoring the shared hallucination since they were scraping data from it. Those data miners must be disgruntled since they didn't warn the rest of the crew that team arrow escaped.

They weren't getting data from the shared hallucination, the hallucination was just to keep their minds busy while the Dominators probed their subconscious. I think the Dominators were looking for general anti-human intel, not specific anti-Oliver and Company intel
