What is NOPT?

Oooh you are the best!!! That worked! Thank you! I had reached the point where it kept quoting random people and I had to go to a desktop and then the desktop starting quoting people too!

Does anyone know how to delete random quotes that appear when you try to reply? I can't reply in half the threads because it's quoting random posts from people so my reply will contain a post from another person!

I loooove this fic! http://archiveofourown.org/works/8181362 I really like this author. She writes really well and is completely and utterly AU which is what I need right now. Really liked Oliver on Vacation too.

So have I! Hehe reading and loving a Victorian one right now! But I will rage if I can't even enjoy AUs anymore! Part of me wonders if I should quit the show and hide and read AUs lol

Are on show shenanigans ruining anyone's enjoyment of fanfic right now? Because it's starting to poison fanfic for me. It's depressing reading about how much Oliver loves Felicity etc when you read all the spoilers etc at the same time.

But all the spoilers!!!! *wails* Omg why did I even start watching this terrible show? It started with an angry chick as the love interest.

Is there even any point to watch this show anymore. Are they going to fight crime in kickass and grunt angrily at each other afterwards? Seriously? This is going to ruin even fanfic for me! Omg so distressed right now!

Is EBR just very very very mellow? I don't ever see that many pics of her in general. Pity cuz she's a beautiful lady!

Ahh well they have heaps to fall before they move to Friday! The nasty negative nellie in me wants them to just kill off Felicity so EBR can go get a job with a proper network and live happily ever after. She's too good for this sh@t!

What ratings do you need to score before you get moved to Friday? Do you get cancelled when you hit Friday or do they need a Friday show so you just stay on Friday?

I love this show! Almost as much at Gbbo! If we can't have the original this is a good imitation! Mmmmm craving lammies now! Have you guys tried lammies? What do you think of them?

Can you imagine Ray trying to propose to Sara (because Ray WANTS to marry badly!) and Sara being all like "What the HELL?"

Hmm just realised something a bit dodgy, after another poster mentioned Flashpoint: If Felicity is dating Mayo why is she still making slips about how Oliver is hot on the Salmon Ladder? I dunno, that was kinda weird. Makes me wonder if Flashpoint reset them. You shouldn't be saying things like that about an ex you were previously engaged to while you are dating a new guy. You could kinda say it about a close friend you kinda had feelings for but they never amounted to much (still dodgy but less so). Or we could go with option 3 and these writers are just stupid and insert whatever the hell they want.

Yup both sounding boards. Yes I think they are setting up Ray/Sara. I can't see those two together but it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The feel I get from the show is that anything can happen (hehe they proved that with the scenes of the team scattered in time) so for me the tone of the show gives them a pass to try whatever they like.

Just watched Legends today and it was soooooooooo good!!!! Sooooooooo much fun! Easily my favourite show and is beating Supergirl and AoS for me! It's so campy and funny and I love how it's like a cartoon. I just hope Rip comes back soon!

I'm genuinely curious as to what you think the problems with Olicity are. Could you delve into it? Not asking this question with any hostility by the way even though I'm a big Olicity Shipper. My husband loved Ray/Felicity (haha when 4B blew up he was all "See Ray didn't have any illegitimate kids running around he had to lie about") because he honestly thinks Oliver is too dumb for Felicity and in every day life he doesn't see how they'd get along.

I think it's over. I'm just bitter because I purely started watched the show on the premise that Oliver was engaged to someone as amazing as Felicity (I hadn't joined this board and seen all the depressing spoilers for 4B yet). I'd love to be wrong but if the ending of How I Met Your Mother taught me anything it's that writers will write whatever they want. Much like fanfic really! Zen............if I could get over the gawd awful ghastly HIMYM ending I can get over this lol!

Just finished watching it. I have come to the conclusion that Felicity makes anything watchable for me. We will see how long that theory holds for. Haha on that note I hope you guys will not mind me logging into the new episode thread each week with the question "How much Felicity was in this?" I liked the Prometheus and Ragman story developments, found them mildly exciting. Didn't care for the new recruits (Wild Dog seems like an A-hole) or Curtis who just annoys the crap out of me. I didn't mind him last season but I am going to plan my grocery list when they delve into his storyline. HIs preachy speeches grate! Surprisingly did not rage over the Felicity and Mayo scenes! She was adorable enough to distract me! I think I am just annoyed on principle that they couldn't find a more "BIG" love interest for her. Yes I know you guys all hated Ray with a thousand fires but I thought Ray was adorable and I really like BR. Ray was a billionaire with a super suit who was mad about her. Now she's dating a cop with bad clothes and bad hair! If they had given her a better boyfriend I probably wouldn't be so sore about it. Thea, Quentin - meh meh. Didn't care then, don't care now! Do you mean as in their relationship never happened? Or they went through the same rim roll but less intense ie no more "You are my always."

Did Felicity get a decent amount of screentime?

hahaha I do like James though! Just didn't really care for him with Kara. I'm super excited now if he's going to get a mask! They could always go there later. I thought it was a good separation. Nothing drastic happened. Room to revisit later on without it getting nasty.

Can someone pretty please explain or speculate for me: Why did they kill Laurel and then kill off Olicity? Would it not have been easier to keep the break up in season 4, have Oliver go back to Laurel "OMG I have finally realised it now but we are super super epic and I love that you've still got that picture, lets get together and be happy forever because you are the one." I don't think Olicity shippers would be any angrier than they are now. They could have kept Laurel for the Laurel fans and there would be no need for this new BC nonsense. The BC nonsense just looks EXTRA stupid! Putting Laurel and Oliver back would not have been anymore stupid than the other stupid stuff they do. ETA: Just to clarify I don't think they killed off Laurel for Olicity since she had nothing to do with Olicity when she was alive. I just wonder why they killed her off at all since that just pissed off the Laurel fans. They would at least have made a bunch of people happy by reuniting them.

You start watching Madam Secretary and you freak the crap out when they introduce a character played by Jill Hennessey because she's the appropriate age for Henry and your first thought is "OMFG they are going to make her the third party to end Bess's marriage" Then as you watch you realise Madam Secretary has proper writers!

Haha just make sure to remember to unfollow! Don't be like my husband who signs up for free trials and never remembers to cancel anything! They should get the last 4000 though right. I mean it's the interwebs! Not hard!

Haha do it and get everyone you know to do it too! They burnt your ship! BURN THEM!
