Considering that Ray Palmer is a scientist and a former professor in the comics, may be he was one of the TAs that Felicity had interacted with or was friends with back in MIT - you know while she was working on her bachelors, he was working on his doctorate or something. That could be such a great way to start that story as he is the guy Felicity already knows and trusts - at least academically and intellectually - if not personally.

Well according to Emily Bett Rickards, she was promised 'a parent' by the writers for this season. I just hope that they deliver it. We have had 46 episode with hardly any Felicity backstory while stupid characters like Laurel Lance get multiple chances and stories to get liked by the audience. It is about time the writers deliver what works - Felicity and her storyline.

I know. If they are giving Felicity a parent this year, I want it to be a mom, not a dad. Too many people on the show with daddy issues already.

Holy fuck ... now all I can do is picture Zachary Levi as Felicity's love interest. I mean why do you guys do that me. I want it so bad, it's not even funny!.

We only had two scenes with Felicity & Moira ... one where Moira points out that she shampooed her hair with 8 women and a guard looking at her and the one where Felicity encountered her about Thea's paternity and they were both rock solid. Yes, I too feel cheated because they were two very smart women, one is straight up honest and the other one is kinda diabolical but both fiercely protective of those they love. Would've been an amazing battle of wits - with Oliver in the middle - between Moira and Felicity. Oh the missed possibilities !!!!!!

Emily's trainer has been tweeting about her working with weights throughout the hiatus. Looks like "Bitch with wifi" will be getting her hands dirty this coming season. Can't wait.

but guys, teaching at K12 school and a university requires a different career trajectory. A university professor is required to do a doctorate, then post doc then lecturership and then a proper tenure track whereas for K12, you need a masters in the subject and a teaching diploma from a university. Some get an additional degree in education but they are usually in education management, if Mrs Lance was a school teacher, she cannot become a university professor in the present, it is kinda not possible - unless Mrs. Lance was a school teacher to begin with and is now teaching at a community college in Central City because she just wanted to get away from Detective Lance and her whiney ass lawyer daughter after Sara was declared dead. My brain is simply not willing to accept that in any universe, Laurel Lance (the TV version of that character played by KC) can be a viable/acceptable romantic possibility for Oliver Queen. Yes, I am that opposed to the idea of L/O relationship, either in the past, or present of future or even in a fucking alternative universe of reality. Yes, I feel that passionately about it.

In that dinner from hell in Time of Death, Dinah Lance mentioned that she teaches Latin and/or literature at the university in Central city but even if you are tenured professor in a top notch university, you make anything between 65 - 100 grand a year and I don't think a professor teaching Latin would be making the same amount of money that someone teaching electronic engineering would be making. They were definitely and decisively middle class and the kind of douche bag that Oliver was, it was unlikely that he would go out of his way too look for a homely girl from a middle class background. I also fail to understand how Moira was so okay with Laurel. Considering that she was a snooty/uppity person, she would not have taken too kindly to Laurel being from a different social strata. I mean what's the difference between Laurel and the girl who got pregnant with Oliver's baby. If that girl was not good enough, then why Laurel? The show has way too many discrepancies in the storylines. I can look over a lot because it is based on comic but I just cannot get over this epic love story of a cheating douche and his social climbing girl friend who drops her steady boyfriend like a hot potato the minute the cheating guy showed interest in her.

Lolz, they have written it like that. I mean what else will he do when he runs out of all the excuses? He has to fall in love with her - heck if his mooney faced smile on that last scene of season finale is any indication, he is halfway there already! Everyone falls in love with Felicity, Oliver is just there in line ....

you know what makes me bitter? Katie Cassidy telling everyone that she is gonna join team arrow! I mean have we not had enough of her bratty self when she was throwing glasses at her family, calling her sister a bitch (flashback), being a total diva to her dad when he was trying to help and knowing Ollie to the bones but now she has to come and ruin the team dynamics in the lair? I don't see her getting along with Diggle at all! Felicity and Roy may tolerate her but Diggle would not. Diggle is just not the type who would tolerate a drama queen!

after the fan reaction to finale 3 episodes of season 2 (where there was minimum interaction with Lances and Team Arrow was front and center) I don't think they will shoot themselves in their feet and keep Diggle and Felicity away from the main plot ... but then again, what they did in season 2 after an almost perfect 9 episode arc at the beginning of the season, they could do anything.

I can only see Amanda treating Oliver like a dog in training ... sit, run, fetch and repeat ... I mean she is the WALL and he was the old Ollie with really bad hair!

No one mortal gets to sleep with The Wall .... she shows affection to the processors that Felicity was salivating over ... Oliver Queen is no more than a blip on Amanda Waller's radar.

Oh we call her Blackmail Canary on tumblr ... I mean she has already blackmailed to get her job back and to get her dad back on duty, may be in season 3 she can blackmail Oliver into dating her again?

I can recall episode 12 where everyone was acting like an idiot to make Laurel look like the smartest person in the room when she was going after Blood. I mean uber hacker Felicity was outsmarted by some random security guy?

I don't think people in the Flash universe would like to be saddled with a character like hers. The writers should realize that there is no hope for KC and should they decide to do anything with BC, they need to build it around Sara. She can always take up her mother's name after her death to honor her or something and develop her independent of Oliver Queen. I always wonder about the comic purists who support Laurel. Shouldn't they support the character of BC and the actress who portrays it best instead of the actress who ruins EVERYTHING!

This sums up, rather nicely, the epicness of the train wreck called Oliver Laurel romance

Lolz, what's next then? Would she want Nyssa because Sara "has" her? Nyssa will break her neck like a twig if it happens. Not everyone is big on sharing like good ol' Ollie!

You are not the only one. Felicity has some fierce loyal fans :)

The only way I can accept Laurel as black canary if they turn her into one in the very last scene of the series finale. Anytime before that would be too soon.

Exactly at least Manu was intelligent enough to question the motivation for his character and then he did the best he could with whatever was given to him. He was also honest enough to admit it that sometimes it did not make a lot of sense to him. Compare that to Katie who sounds rather childish and all over the place. In any case an adult who uses the word cute and make out in a conversation more that twice sounds absurd at best.
