Can CL stop doing what she’s doing in that pic?

I'll be honest, I've sort of grown past fics about Oliver and Felicity getting together than they actually did, so I went into this with some reluctance. Boy howdy, am I glad I did. It's awesome!

I really appreciated how they made a point of including Quentin into Oliver's and Thea's lives in this episode. This feels like a retroactive validation of that line about him "really being there from them after Mom died". Which was ridiculous at the time. However, his present to Oliver was really sweet (I'm chosing to assume he has something else meaningful and touching for Sara) and him proclaiming to be stepping in for Oliver's parents was even sweeter. So was him taking Thea home. Speaking of, who took William home? Was it Donna? Is she going to spoil him rotten while Oliver and Felicity are fighting the baddies? I'm not sure I want to watch it, but I'd sure like to hear about it. Also, Jack Moore has been praised as being more relaxed in his scenes with EBR, but William shimmying with Thea was the best! If she's bringing that about, she really is the best aunt as Oliver and Felicity predicted.

I didn't get that narrative in season 5 either when Oliver wasn't trusting with the recruits at once. And he was later proven to be right. I'm 99% sure she said Oliver in their final breathing session. Nothing aside from Oliver and Felicity getting married. Even the previously on only showed them and Dig, no Barry and Iris.

I missed this. Aw. If Noah Kuttler, who as far as I know, is a fugitive from justice was able to attend the mayor's wedding, I don't see why a dead dude's gangbanger shouldn't be able to drop by. I really do wish they threw something in about how and why Noah was attending. Felicity dropping charges, a hint that the Flashpoint changed that and she never actually filed them. And that they gave him more to do, or at least indicated that he'd have more to do in the future. Haven't thought about that, but I'd definitely approve. I admit I fell on the side of while enjoyable, this was kind of lowkey, but this makes a lot of sense. And the screechy one was texting and meeting up with an enemy of the team. So... Shame on you, OTA, for bringing that to light.

Who’s the poor sucker who got killed so Barry could be framed? Anyone important?

I haven’t watched the panel, but was the gagging a reflection of how the person felt about the wedding(s) and taken as such, or was it imitating Dig post landing?

Was William wearing this in one of Slade's episodes? He really didn't bring much in those two episodes, so I hope it's not him coming back. I can't see what it would be for.

I gathered it was about Oliver, but it doesn’t really matter seeing as Watson is circling around all of them.

While I don’t blame Rene here, neither can I see how he can be accepted back into the fold. This isn’t the first time he’s sold out the team either, he did it last season when Church tortured him. Now, I actually thought that humanized him, but this is a pattern now. I’m not wishing him ill, but I do think he’s a liability to the team and should not be trusted.

Speaking of cheesy movies, I watched Hollywood Dirt with Johann Urb, aka the Vigilante. It did not fill me with confidence when it comes to his acting abilities. This is no award winning feature, but still, he has a relatively clean cut scene at the start of the film catching his wife cheating on him. And... zilch. It's a Passionflix production and it's supposed to be made for the female gaze, which is fair enough, but the sex scenes (nicely shot, to be fair) kind of come out of nowhere, so I'm left confused and not really caring. But that could be a problem with the book it's made after for all I know. However, it's nowhere near as bad as their other original movie looks from the trailer. I think it's supposed to be hot, but frankly looks like it's about a stalker and his victim.

Wells annoying him. That was cool, particularly the way he sent the bullet back into the rifle and it exploded. Speaking of KL, he was also at Berlanti's wedding, as was CP.

You know what I just got? While they were deflecting and facing off Nazis in Star Labs Felicity and Iris were wearing green and red respectively.

What do you mean? It looks like a fairly normal striped sparkly dress to me.

Always by Macha It’s a post wedding fic, which yay and there should be more of those, and handles both Oliver’s and Felicity’s side of things very well. My one complaint is

1. Just because something isn't easy means you're not supposed to try? Especially if you're a hero? 2. Do you expect Thawne not to kill innocent people because Barry let him go?

It's this feeling, which I also share about the spoilers, that makes me think there's something else that's unspoiled about the MSF shocker. I mean, if it's just that they miscalculated about how much we care for the newbies or how threatening the baddies are, terrific. But going by previous seasons, there coul be something to pack a punch which hasn't been spoiled.

I guess it’s possible they didn’t want Barry to lose since Oliver and Kara had won their battles, but it’s extremely stupid.

And these two did have a joint photo op. That’s great.

Sorry, I thought something was a spoiler when it wasn’t.
