Diggle just ever so slightly misfires his gun

Maybe he 3D printed a...no, never mind. I'm not going to go there.

Considering this guy nearly got the city he was trying to take over destroyed, and let someone steal SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS, he has no business talking about chumps lmao Or...takes one to know one, I guess

This overdramatic 3-d printing lil bitch

Why are these idiots always talking in an interrogation room?

Why on earth would Diggle want to put the hood back on when the person suspected of being the Green Arrow is under indictment? Goodness, this is dumb.

It's the only room they have!

i wouldn't mind if you got outed and sent to jail, Dinah

She said the babysitter left two hours ago

Quentin, why are you surprised by this? You gave her all the info she needed because you are a moron.

I guess there was a reason why he was anxious to run away with her.

I get why they wouldn’t ultimately go with digging her up, simply because she can tell anyone that Oliver’s Green Arrow at any time (and probably kept some bunker footage to prove it), but someone should at least think about it. Please.

I hope we get to see some of 3-D and his printer!

This guy is definitely a lot smarter about it than the other one. So either he's learned his lesson or it's some other person. IIRC the other guy seemed to have scripts, this guy seems to have actually seen the episode.

I think the moral of the story here - and has been for several seasons now - is not to listen to Wendy or Marc, because nothing they tease ever comes into fruition (or at the very least never meets expectations, unless we're talking about how bad something could be).

I think the likelihood of Berlanti & Co. purposely discriminating against Emily for speaking out against a culture of harassment that shielded AK for years - on the heels of firing him when people are on the lookout for exactly this kind of behavior is slim to none. Not that they aren't capable, but I just can't imagine them being that stupid. But who knows. If Emily was the only one getting shitty storylines I could maybe see it? But the whole season is an absolute nonsensical mess, with a lot of the long-term regular characters' stories suffering because of it.

It could be because the OP she was replying insinuated that MG could be punishing Emily and her fans for calling him out on sexism by putting Felicity in the kitchen. Intentionally or not that insinuates that Emily's being punished by having her character do something that doesn't have as much value/development as starting a company would.

No, I get you! I think the argument that I saw a few people make about MG using the domestic scenes as punishment for Emily speaking out against him muddied the waters, and a couple of arguments got conflated. Totally get wanting to see her doing something else. I've missed personal stakes, so I can't really complain about it. It's lazy as hell for exposition, but I like the family time. It's something the show had in the earlier seasons with Oliver that I think have really been missing and the show has suffered for it. So I'll take it where I can get it, and hope they get something going with Felicity after she and Curtis part ways.

Most of the tweets I saw brought up the baking/William thing and tied the issue together, and it came of (to me) as if the complaint was that this wasn't a valuable part of her life to see, and that she was being disrespected as a character because she was stuck at home making cookies and playing family and not out in the workforce. That's why I wrote that I think it would be better served to not tie her lack of storyline complaints in with the family time stuff.

But why would you believe them? Nothing they've said has ever lived up to the expectations fandom puts on it, haha.

That's because there isn't a point. There would be one if she was stuck in the kitchen all episode not doing anything helpful other than making cookies or being a parent. But she hasn't - that hasn't happened in any episode this season. I get being frustrated that things aren't panning out the way people had hoped wrt this storyline, but that doesn't have anything to do with baking cookies or what limited time she's spent being a stepmother to William. Tying the two together is probably a mistake.

At this point it seems like they just introduced the company as a way out of the Diggle tremor situation (and to add something additional for them to fight about). Which is fine, I guess - I like my storylines to intertwine, I don't want to see a bunch of Oliver doing nothing in the mayor's office either. So, if that's all they meant to use it for, then Felicity and Curtis can dissolve it and they can (hopefully) start over with a clean slate for something else for Felicity.

Yeah, everything has been swallowed whole by the Civil War nonsense. It's tiresome. I personally don't even need a huge focus on her business - all I want is for her to be involved with something that makes her happy and that she's successful at outside of Oliver and the team, and for the show to acknowledge that on a fairly consistent basis. If that's a storyline, cool. If it's the team talking about some accomplishments in passing, cool. If it's a villain attacking an event that her company is putting on, cool. It doesn't have to be difficult or time consuming, show! Although considering they can't even keep track of the easy stuff, maybe it is.

Wow, for the "cookie/apron gate" being a rumor, you sure sound like a lot of the people who were involved in it, haha. Also - no reason to suggest that people who aren't up in arms about the baking scene aren't actually fans of Felicity outside of Olicity. MG is a sexist dickbag, but I would argue that if someone is being punished for speaking out by being stuck in the kitchen doing lady stuff, they generally then do not get asked by the main character for help solving a problem that he can't solve on his own and then get put in a whole bunch of other non-domestic scenes that involve her contributing to solving the issues presented in the episode. I imagine her storyline is not that great because, as shown in multiple ways throughout these past 6 seasons, the people who run and write this show aren't that great at their jobs.

Sorry I mentioned it!
