Do the writers think that Oliver opening up to all these women he barely knows this season (Susan, Tinah) and having heart-to-hearts with them instead of with Thea, Diggle, Felicity, etc. is a sign of character growth or something? 

LOL, yes.

Anyone else think it's really weird how Felicity probably knows Susan is Oliver's girlfriend and yet she thinks he's gone off to sleep with Tina? Yikes. The fact that she says anything almost feels OOC.

Also, judging by that script, the 'fake' sides don't sound so far off anymore. Maybe because it is equally bad.

MG probably only said they were fake because the name on the script said Tina. And that's not her real name. See, lawyer speak. LOL.

Eh, Oliver and Susan don't bother me. You know she'll end being shady and it'll come back to bite him in the ass, even if it's unintentional on her part.

Yeah, they don't bother me either, apart from the fact that it makes Oliver look a bit like a moron. They'll be done by the end of the season. It's completely obvious she's not long term.

IMO, she's just the rebound so when they move on to Oliver/Dinah, people can't claim she's the rebound and to allow Oliver/Tinah to have the friendship (hey she's already his confidante one ep in), before they move on to starting the romance in the final couple of eps/or season 6.

Or, alternately if you're still utterly convinced that Olicity still has a chance of happening again, it's so he can learn...I dunno... something valuable about relationships, so they don't fail the next time round.

I just want one interviewer, ONE, to ask TIIC why they are making Oliver so unlikable this year. You can give him manpain. You can make him dumb. You can make him oblivious. But they are combining all these terribad traits into one "hero" who I want to take a long walk off that short snowy cliff again.

My excitement (little I had) has gone down the toilet.  I also don't understand how he can open up so easily to strangers especially when it has been banged into our head that he has a hard time opening up.  This isn't growth it's stupidity.  You learn to trust people like he did with Diggle and Felicity.  At this point he should just let everyone read his diary from season 4 since he is in such a giving mood.

I like Olicity but I don't want it with this Oliver tbh. He needs to go thru some changes for me to be invested again.

I have never been a big Oliver fan, he's always been dumber than a bag of rocks, but the show has made him unbearable. I just want Felicity to have an actual storyline, she deserves better than Oliver imo.

That said, I don't think the show is done with olicity. They may go down the Tinah/GA path but I think it'll be as temporary as O/S & O/L. I do think however they reunite O/F is gonna piss me off, because Oliver is the worst & FS deserves better than him. I'm sure they'll have her realize she was wrong all along & ask for forgiveness because that is the Berlanti formula.

Can you spoil if there is anything positive for Olicity coming up? I may not like the answer but it would be nice to at least know.

Well, she will probably return just in time to bond with Tinah. 

What I really don't get: Is this season truly better than others? I don't really feel that. I feel that people just love this season because they feel they are getting it their way.

There were casting sides floating around last year when they were auditioning for Dinah. One of the scenes had Oliver training her and saying she was the best fighter he'd ever come across, and then the scene ends with them flirting/almost kissing.

I'd love Felicity's storyline to actually end up being more than C plot a couple of times and to have an impact on the season, but I have low expectations. I do think they are going to have her realize she was wrong and ask for forgiveness.

But I don't think it will be forgiveness about Olicity getting back together, cause I think Olicity are totally done. It will be about Felicity begging for forgiveness for going after Prometheus, cause I think they won't let her actually have a win there. Rather she won't have any effect or will make a mistake and and will have to beg for forgiveness for daring to do something on her own. I bet she needs to be rescued by/assisted by Dinah too.

I hope not.  Felicity does not need to be rescued by anyone, including Oliver.

With how bad everything is going, I wouldn't be shocked if episode 12 ends with Susan knowing that Oliver is indeed the Green Arrow. EL OH EL

I'd be surprised if she hasn't already put that together after stalking him a few eps back. I just hope he doesn't tell her himself.

Also, with that brand on her wrist that means she may be in league with someone--Talia?--she may have been sent to Starling already knowing that he was the Green Arrow.

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the only Olicity we get this season is Felicity realizing she wants to be with Oliver again - because somehow in the writers' minds, something about Oliver's idiotic behavior this season is good? - but thinking that he doesn't want to be with her because he's busy with Susan/bonding with Tinah/etc.

It's funny because the writers are pretty much showing how being with Felicity or being around her and confiding in her is good for him that when he isn't with her he just ends up doing stupid things.

Exactly. But it just...I don't know how she jumps to Oliver cheating when he hasn't been like that in years and certainly not with her. I just don't think it's something Felicity would say. Ugh, it's awful on every level.

With all the retconning and memory loss this season, I'm 50/50 on whether that's going to turn out to mean anything. (It'd be a different story on pretty much any other show.)

It's hard to judge based off of the dialogue. I thought 5x10 was going to be horrible. I thought the scene in 5x11 with Tinah may come across differently. I can think of some scenes last year (Felicity references Oliver's kid to Diggle) that sounded horrible but came off better.

Yes but the problem is they show how she is good for him, they don't show how he is good for her. LOL

Yeah which is frustrating...hoping him acknowledging that something is going on with her is a step in showing that he pulls her out from that path. Hope they circle back to what Felicity said to him in 3x20 by the time 5x20, that knowing him did change her life because right now she's grappling with what her past life meant to her that she might be forgetting who she is now.

I literally went on google because I thought I forgot an episode from season 4 lol

I like Felicity going undercover and using Rory and Curtis as her body guards. At least something to look forward to in the episode.

Well she probably didn't explain the storyline in post-episode interviews so people could be confused but I am sure they thought about that storyline in their head. 

Also, cohesive storytelling isn't their forte.

how they dismounted the Oliver and Felicity relationship-That felt very rushed.

What does that even mean? That they shouldn't have split or that they shouldn't have done it in the way they did? Because at this point in the season it feels as though the forget that they were dating to begin with at times. So I can't imagine him regretting how they broke up.
