I’d lose all respect for Oliver. It would be a S5 “I hate Oliver” situation. That being said, I don’t think that’ll ever happen.

The thing is, I don’t want them to be separated, even just emotionally, for most of the season, then resolve things for happiness off-screen between seasons, like the season 3 finale. I want to see that happiness on-screen.

I do too, but I'll also be annoyed because Arrow didn't bother to give us the Felicity/Thea friendship on-screen I wanted.

All I know is if Diaz finds him at school, this better be the last time they use ARGUS for witness protection.

I’m positive we’ll never get other LIs for either Oliver or Felicity again, so there’s that. So in that regard, we won’t have to sit through S5 awfulness again. I think what bugs me the most about Olicity angst coming up is that I don’t want Felicity near anyone else currently* on the show in present time except William and I don’t want to see her continue to be alone in any sense after Oliver’s out of prison since he’s actually someone on her side. So it’ll depend on what the Olicity angst is exactly and how long it lasts. *Please bring back Rory and Alena.

I just hope they don't have Diggle, the newbies, every single person in their lives, that random person they walk by on the street, etc. on Oliver's side and telling Felicity to "get over it" or anything along those lines, especially after they haven't seemed to care about her at all. I want to trust Beth, I do, but I still worry.

Same. I hate that those two are the ones suffering and that even when they're finally going to have and be with each other again, they're still going to be suffering. Oh, and this made me so, so sad for Felicity: Poor Felicity. Just makes me even more pissed off at the newbies and that stupid wine scene. "We have your back, Felicity. You don't have to do this alone, Felicity." Yeah, right. Stupid newbies. And pissed off at Diggle for choosing ARGUS over Felicity.

Can Diggle send Curtis on a year(s)-long undercover operation please? At least this time, we won't have to get a "Felicity, you'll never lose me," followed by a lunge, followed by Felicity fading into the background for multiple episodes. (I may still be a bit bitter about 213/214/etc.)

You know, I wonder how many people who write these articles would care at all about Black Siren if they brought Earth-1 Laurel Lance back to life. Or if Black Siren was Earth-2 Felicity. I bet some of these Black Siren supporters would then be writing "She's a villain! She can't be redeemed!" articles.

Oh, I'm reading this now and... oh boy. 1. STOP BRINGING UP HAVENROCK. 2. We have no idea if Black Siren has actually done any work as DA other than give a press conference, considering she apparently put off some DA work, according to her first conversation with Dinah in 702. 3. You know what? I can't go on. I just can't.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I'm guessing maybe when Oliver's in solitary? Isn't that supposed to happen in one of the next couple episodes?

It was a really good interview and EBR was adorable. And as soon as she said she hadn't filmed with or met KM, my first thought was, "because she's in the flash-forwards and those are filmed on a different day/at a different location and we're not going to see future Felicity yet."

Yep. This is what’s bothering me. You have Diggle visiting Oliver in prison in 701, saying Felicity and William are safe, under 24/7 ARGUS surveillance ... which Diaz got past. Then Felicity sends away William for his protection and says she’ll be with him when Diaz is off the board. Now you have Diggle basically saying, “Diaz doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter you’re in danger every minute he’s out there. It doesn’t matter William is in danger. I’m ignoring the fact that ARGUS protection sucks. Just move on with your life. I don’t care how -“ because he never says anything more than that “- but this is where I stand.” Id love to see Diggle visit Oliver in prison after this. Oliver: “How’s Felicity?” Diggle: silence

My problem with Diggle’s argument is if Diaz focused on Diggle’s family, he’d likely be all, who cares what ARGUS says, we have to get Diaz immediately, and Felicity would be right there helping him track down Diaz. Oliver would probably try to help from prison. I’m not angry about Diggle putting his family first. I agree with that decision. He doesn’t have to be the Green Arrow. But I am angry about Diggle putting ARGUS before Oliver, Felicity and William.

I almost wish BS was with them, if only for an FBI agent to go, "Hey, I studied law, and I was reading about this case and wondering..." and BS to just stare at the person blankly. I am surprised to see Felicity's still bruised. I honestly expected them to have her completely heal off-screen between episodes. I'm glad they're not acting like she just got a paper cut. Also, how can anyone look at her, see she's still bruised, and expect her to just sit back and do nothing?

I feel like multiple seasons now could be part of the origin story of ARGUS being this big bad (and a much more effective, smarter one than Diaz). I wonder if Arrow would ever actually do that. Imagine the stories we could get from it...

I almost feel like Diggle and NTA would rather Felicity return to witness protection so they can go back to living their 701 lives. Out of sight, out of mind.

ARGUS and Diaz. Just another thing Diaz lucked out that it succeeded. Imagine if Cayden had figured out on his own that the video was doctored and Oliver didn't kill his son. Diaz's entire plan would've been ruined. It's why watching tonight's episode, I can't believe Arrow introduced the Longbow Hunters, who seem like actual villains and make Diaz seem like a mouse (like I said in the live thread). All of Diaz's plans seem to work because of dumb luck.

I still don't get why Cayden James was locked up in the first place. In a storage container. For months.

VERY impressed by the Longbow Hunters. Why exactly is Diaz still around now that we have them? Do we/they really need him? No. I can see where both Felicity and Diggle are coming from, but I'm still Team Felicity. Diggle can't really say anything to her when he has a job, his family, his life, and she has nothing because of Diaz. Also, Arrow, I can't believe you're making me not totally hate Rene or Dinah -- still can't stand Curtis -- and be annoyed with Diggle. Don't do that to me. Didn't hate the Dinah/BS scenes, mainly because it was just them in them. And okay, fine, BS now feels bad about Vince's death (but I'm still annoyed with that whole "she hesitated!" nonsense), but what about the other people she killed? Do they matter? (My guess is no.) Finally, Arrow, I will never believe Oliver and Felicity just left William at any time, so there better be a really good explanation/some sort of twist coming up.

Yes, please go back to Star City so we can get more people in the flashforwards and an explanation for why Oliver and Felicity apparently left William, which THEY WOULDN'T DO.

I picture them just rolling their eyes at him behind his back. Diaz: opens his mouth Longbow Hunters: start planning what they're going to eat for lunch

The nose ring will heal it.

Guys, he's the Dragon, so, you know, fire. Totally scary. Such a scary villain. Just ignore everything else about him and the other three, much more deadly villains.

And we're supposed to see Diaz as a threat after seeing the Longbow Hunters? He's like a mouse next to them.
