chaos is welcome

Did anyone notice that the crypts of Winterfell and several underground parts of Kings Landing were included in the opening sequence? It was very, very different and I commented to my hubs that it is super odd that they changed up the sequence that much and that it seemed significant. Hm.

This episode was so meh for me. I'm so tired of all the "WWLD" references (What would LAUREL DOOOOOOOOOO?). Lame. The fight sequences were awful. Please, please, no more magic anything EVER EVER EVER again on this show. The only time I felt a real emotional connect was everything Diggle. Dig and Lyla talking to Sara on the phone, Dig saying goodbye to Lyla and Sara. That I did NOT see coming, and I suspect a large part of S5 might be Diggle's journey back. That is the only truly interesting thing for me, because I remember DR saying how, during S1, Dig was five years ahead of Oliver in his coping mechanisms, and was more mature. Andy's return and betrayal has POTENTIAL for good stuff next season. I only say potential though, because these show runners are dumb. Lots of good Diggle/Everybody moments. I liked the Oliver/Thea hug. I want Thea to run away and find Roy. They can work on those babies they talked about when he visited us. Lance/Donna was nice. The O/F moments were nice, but the lack of physical touching bothered me. The world was ending and all. I feel like they nipped a whole story line out of the finale, with that whole bit in the ep description awhile back about Oliver finding something out from Noah, or whatever. Dear old dad loses major points for listening to Donna and splitting, and NOT returning when doomsday was upon them again. I feel like the past few eps have been a revolving door of additional hacker help. The only good thing about the island, besides Poppy's death FINALLY, was the book in the chest. They DO remember season 1 sometimes. I'm having a really hard time rectifying this version of Oliver with where he was in S1, so we'll see what Russia gives us. Weird that they didn't even tease how he gets there a little. Which worries me, because that means they aren't thinking ahead at all. Excitement for next season is <0. It's amazing that Laurel can continue to suck my enjoyment out of the show even after her death. Did I mention, PLEASE NO MORE MAGIC? EVER AGAIN???

That's what I thought lol. Yay!

Who was sara smootching on though in that lot promo???

Loved Macha's latest, it was wonderful!

Glad to hear I am not the only one who found anthfans did-ing of felicity to be ott. I read the pregnancy one...i think it was the ice and future queen? She writes well, don't get me wrong. I for one love smokin billionaires

Lmao. The what is the point q could be asked about laurel as well. But see exhibit a. I have no excitement left for this show. I expect them to use laurels death to drive the show into the finale. Tired of the same old plot. Glad she's dead, but it's still getting old.

Speaking of thea's wardrobe choices, her safety pin shirt in this last ep was awful. I got one am not liking forward to this ep at all. Fake black canary, breaking Quentin, laurel flashbacks, and taking about what the she'd want for the team. Just not interested. Considering they took six-seven months building up top here, I am horribly apathetic.

I imagine that the thing laurel asked was for him to stop blaming himself? Really, the writers did her an injustice in this episode. It was awful and poor Tommy.

Also, so tired of darkness rehash. Felt all that came out of nowhere. Color me annoyed.

That episode actually made me less excited for the rest of the season, even laurel free, because it was so, so bad. So many mentions of the picture after we hadn't heard about it since mud s 2 (shado...I miss you). The only emotion I felt other than god, is it over yet, was being pissed that Oliver would stay by laurel but couldn't be bothered to stay when felicity was paralyzed. And then lance made me feel bad because awww , poor lance.

Just another example in a long line of "because plot," and the reason I am having a hard time being excited even about the spoilery thing coming up. I miss old dig. The one who walked out on Oliver in s1 when Oliver didn't help with deadshot. Dig has done several things in s3/4 that seemed ooc for me. That plus helmet plus lack of felicity interaction has me so grr.

So Curtis is def let in on secret.

Dude with the helmet in promo pics...same kind of thing that was in flash comics w bri? Hurt thea. Everyone is going down lol.

Is sara fighting hawk man in the above pic, or is that kendra? Does she fly her through the black hole lol? Sara looks wonderful.
