Yep. Then Felicity wanted to fly the nuke out of Russia on a suicide mission and that was never addressed because the only person who knew was Rory and they sent him off at the end of the episode. And had Oliver think that talking to Diggle meant that everything was fixed with Felicity too after Rory had told him that he thought Felicity had gone too far.

What bothers me the most is Havenrock. I really wish the show had actually addressed that like it should have. If Felicity hadn't redirected the nuke, you know that there would be people going, "Why didn't she just send it to a less populated city?"

Ugh, really? Though I probably shouldn't be surprised. I used to like KA. And then I saw how he is on Twitter and that changed. Plus, considering his character hasn't done much ... which isn't on him, it's on the writing and his intro was weak, but to be honest, because of how he is on Twitter, I don't want to see more of him. I don't want to see him lead the team of villains if ME is really gone after 613ish, so I'm really hoping that doesn't happen.

Wasn't there something in the promo about it? Or am I remembering incorrectly?

"Unlikely ally" could be anyone. Remember when Felicity was the "surprising source" Oliver turned to in 603? So we know that OTA finds out about the team of villains in 610, but we don't know if they find out everyone on it. If they do, they could find out that Vince is part of it while Dinah's off spending time with him and Rene and Curtis ... just don't care that she is? It seems like Team Newbies is just going to be a mess (Rene's testifying against Oliver and they can't really trust he won't turn on everyone else, Dinah's meeting with her ex who's part of the villains team and Curtis hates being behind the computers but that's where he'll likely be stuck unless they have no one on comms), and I really can't see OTA thinking they need them for anything but more bodies in the field since Diggle can't fight right now and it'll only be Oliver out there and it's not the best idea for him to be fighting without backup.

Because people love to hate on Felicity. I've even seen comments - not media articles yet, I don't think, but media articles fuel hate on Twitter/reddit/etc., which is why I hate seeing stuff like this pop up - blaming Felicity and only Felicity for surveilling the newbies in 609.

I wouldn't mind seeing Caitlin on LoT for an episode, but I can't see them moving her over there.

Unfortunately, I'm not surprised. Isn't TV Fanatic usually anti-Felicity/Olicity? You know, if they wanted to put someone on that list from Arrow, I feel like there could be an argument made for pretty much every character in 2017. And the "reason" for Felicity is very weak next to almost all of them.

Well, at least The Flash fans can probably be assured that the 100th will honor all 99 episodes before it and not mostly its first season.

Yeah, I'd be surprised if Rene's covering for Dinah or Curtis. I think that Rene just ended up in the perfect position for the FBI to take advantage of his situation with Zoe. In 6x01, didn't Oliver get help from the new DA for another hearing for Rene? Isn't the new DA the one who's working with the FBI and alerted Jean about having a witness? They didn't even really need to do any digging - all the information was right there for them to use to get Rene to agree to testify.

Yep. I find it strange that they seem to be avoiding/ignoring the potential in Black Siren pretending to be LL to the public.

I just want Lance to have a storyline that’s not about his daughters (or other Earth’s versions) or drinking. I don’t think I’m going to get my wish. Also, I really hope they don’t keep that little run in the episode. Doesn’t seem like Black Siren to me at all.

You know, they did set up a way for him to just leave Star City and for someone else to step up as villain team leader. As far as we know, his son could be alive. He disappeared while Cayden was in ARGUS custody, right? What if he finds out his son is still alive and he finds him/decides to leave to find him?

Please don't let this mean Dragon's the Big Bad.

Didn’t they also say Mick stole the toasters? How did they return stolen items?

Same. LoT wrote Iris as happy for her friend. The Flash basically acted like none of the great crossover moments with Felicity and Iris happened and didn’t even mention the fact that Nazis interrupted the planned wedding. What bothers me is the fact that they could have written Iris telling Barry she wasn’t exactly happy with how their wedding(s) went down instead of what we got and in a way that didn’t make me feel like they stopped caring about Felicity and Iris’ friendship once they decided that Caitlin and Iris are going to be friends (with one scene and that’s it, she’s maid of honor) and the crossover was over. Since they showed they couldn’t do that, I don’t trust them to write any future scenes for Felicity and Iris without turning around and throwing in another line like they did in the MSF.

They probably went, "Hey, we have someone who knows law who knows Barry's The Flash! We can have a moment where she tells him to reveal he's The Flash. Perfect!" And that's it.

First of all, I need people to stop bringing up Oliver and Nyssa's "marriage" like it's actually a thing that can/should have any effect on/be considered when thinking about either of their relationships. Also, was McKenna paralyzed? I thought it was just going to take a lot of physical therapy for her to recover and her sister lived in Coast City?

And this was Curtis’ issue, since he brought up the difference between the newbies and OTA when the newbies talked, so that set it up for him to have a problem no matter how Oliver went about finding the traitor - confrontation or surveillance.

You know, I don't even know if we can blame that on Dinah or not. They acted like Vince already knew, but we never had anything on-screen that would indicate he did. Yes, Dinah could have told him off-screen at some point (and therefore it would still be a betrayal) or she never told him and it could be the writers thinking that it was a fact Vince knew, not realizing why he would is because he's working with other villains who do and that Dinah wouldn't know that, or the writers just not thinking when they wrote that conversation.

Well, considering I don't think that the League of Assassins has marriage licenses... No, seriously, it's not real at all and the best thing the show can do - for both Oliver and Nyssa, but Nyssa especially, considering how her father treated her - is stop bringing it up because the "husband" comments are not funny.

Yeah, I feel like Rene really didn't help himself, both in the field and after back in the bunker. If you've just broken a guy's trust and you're going to be the one who puts him in jail for the rest of his life, but the guy still gives you a second chance and brings you back into the field with him, don't go against his orders the next minute and don't remind him that you've done it before/will probably do it again.

You're assuming that the newbies wouldn't have still been offended that they were being suspected and Felicity and Diggle weren't. Remember, Dinah and Curtis were bothered once they realized it was just the newbies who were tracked. The team split had to happen one way or another because that's the storyline the writers want right now. We probably would have gotten the same argument even if Oliver had brought the newbies in and confronted them immediately simply because he only suspected them and not his wife and brother.

My problem was with their attitudes about waiting, Curtis' comment to Felicity about tracking Lance (it really wasn't the time for hurt feelings to be brought up) and them turning off their comms. It's the last one that bothers me the most. They really shouldn't have turned off their comms. What if something had gone very, very wrong?

Honestly, for me, Oliver and Thea's relationship just isn't the same after last season, just between the whole Susan nonsense (it's like they try to pretend to forget how that "reporter" was introduced before Oliver even met her) and the fact that Thea called Oliver after he was captured and tortured for a week. Really, the best thing they can do is give us some good Oliver/Thea moments the rest of the time she's around, not have stupid reasons for her absence and then give her and Roy a happy send-off and at the very least mention her every so often as a "hey, I heard from Thea, she and Roy are..." or really anything that tells us that she's still alive and part of Oliver's life even if they don't live in the same city.
