Is this the episode where Felicity and Curtis go out in the field? To save GA? Dig, baby, you're finally showing Felicity some love. It's so good.

I paused when Oliver and Felicity were looking at the files of the two Thea lookalikes. They are exactly the same apart from the names, right down to a birthmark on the torso. Like, how noticeable are those to be noted down at all? What, someone couldn't put down "stubby thumb" for one of them? Also, do you think the training area where Oliver and Thea were sparring is on a different level from the main lair area or just a separate room? It looks like a pretty open floor plan so I just assumed it was on a lower level. Can someone with Tumblr ask Guggenheim about this? How is he about answering questions on Twitter?

Felicity Smoak OHSHT hair index. :) I really like how the wisps around her face look though. Going by the Canadian promo I presume DD is only playing with Ray in order to draw out the Green Arrow. I approve.

He sent this message that was intercepted by whoever's holding him captive.

Apparently people are calling the number and they get a reply. I imagine a pre-recorded message?

Thea also said that Oliver used to be in love with Sara as well. Which, no. I do honestly believe Oliver and Sara love each other but I don't believe he was ever in love with her. I really doubt Sara was either. I imagine it being a result of a crush and her sister issues. I can maybe make myself believe Oliver was in love with Laurel in high school, not in the flashbacks we've seen though.

From Echo Kellum's Twitter: I'm live tweeting #Arrow (east coast) tonight y'all! RT if you're ready! You'll be #CelebsFakeLaughing and crying.

I laughed when I saw it in the leaked version and I'm still laughing now. Laurel's really in a dimension of her own. Also still chuckle worthy? This: Zombie Sara is a complete BAMF in this episode. Nope. Laurel told no one. Why should she? They only pass judgement, the pricks, This gives me life: Oliver Get Those Pesky Kids off My Lawn Queen. It makes so much effing sense that he's 30 but sees the world as if he's 80 with everything he's been through. Granted, not as much as Laurel, but still.

What is this madness? Donna! What are you wearing? It seems to be covering your entire torso.

Well, that's a lot to expect of them. Laurel's stupid actions - the biggest foil on this show. But they should definitely put a tracker on her. In fact, I think the whole team should have trackers, in fact. Oliver's put one on himself in the past. I think it was revealed in Unfinished Business, when Dig finds him in the asylum in time to help him and tells him he'll never make fun of him for doing that again. Hopefully he still has one for the next episode. You're not crazy, she's in the promo with Dig. Wee, Oliver's together with Felicity dealing with Ray's disappearance. In a vase! Love it all around.

Thea was reminiscing about her druggie days and he was weirded out about raising Sara in that environment.

That makes sense. Well, once I accept William Shatner is geeking out about Felicity. Hee.

Thank, I'll check out what he has to say about tonight's episode. Whičh one? Sadly, this dampens my enthusiasm a great deal.

I watched the producer's preview to see what Mericle's perspecitve was. Laurel grappling with her decision. Ahahaha. No.

I really hope that this woman's kid doesn't turn out to be Oliver's. Yes, I'm still in that place. I don't mind the idea of Oliver having a hypothetičal kid out there but once you get it on the show, what will you do with it? Even if it's not his, you could spin storylines from it. DD thinks it's his so he threatens it. It's not like Oliver still won't feel responsible. It can bring up Felicity's dad issue, raise the question of Oliver and Felicity having kids, cast a shadow over the campaign, maybe even bleed into Felicity's job and Palmer Tech. The writers do love playing with the stocks. What I'm saying is, they can do all the stories they would with a presumed kid as with one that really is Oliver's. And then you don't have to worry about finding a way in which to discard him once you're done with those story lines.

Also shoehorned in the press conference. Mayor, police captain, deputy DA and... Palmer Tech CEO? Yeah. I will say that it was either this or the following episode (probably that one) that I actually enjoyed Laurel instead of being exasperated by her or tolerating her, and it's all thanks to Ray when he comes to her like a dumbass to turn Oliver in and she shuts him down. So there is that.

Well, let's go all out. The limo gets rammed, people converge in the hospital, then dun dun DUN, it's just Oliver there who's been brought in unconscious. Felicity wasn't on site when the paramedics turned up. And the team has to draw straws on who will tell Oliver about Felicity when he comes to. [whispers creepily]Lauuu-reeel.

But when did William Shatner talk about Arrow? I need to know everything.

This is my biggest gripe, that he wasn't paying attetion to his surroundings. It's kind of his thing? He was preaching it to Roy while he was still just his informant. But I'm starting to think that the reason for this is to have Oliver going all Arrow Smash later on in the seasson (no spoiler, just speculation since it seems inevitable) to be all the more jarring. I think the audience would have picked if they used a lighter touch but I can see them rationalizing it this way.

Wait, what? And also, hee. I say this as someone who likes PB, but this is nothing but truth.

The scenario could be fun but I don't see it happening on the show. Then again I don't think no wedding until next season, even with a proposal in the winter finale would be strange or need outside forces for the delay. I wouldn't even see it as delay.

This is exactly what I think it means.

Someone posted this on SA's Meme Monday and here's what he wrote in reply.

I remember it as her saying something like, " That's why I loved him. Why I still love him." I don't remember parts of her loving him.

My first thoughts were Dig (Andy), DD (his family), Felicity (her father), then the Lances. The League never even crossed my mind.
