So 4x13 "Sins Of The Father" is when everything Olicity related engagement/lying wise will all go to shit! Thanks Arrow writers!

Great :/ AND Keto's on it... so excited :( Usually I like Ben's work so maybe he can redeem the story. Although he's produced so horrid cowrites as well.

Wait. Is this photoshopped or did they actually know each other when they were younger IRL? Awesome.

David made this statement when he posted it on his instagram page: "Always has been.  Always will be.. My bro."  It's legit he reposted it from the guy who's playing his TV brother's Instagram. Who said this: "vududaddyFlashback: Brothers. Always."

Yes, Keto = horrific writing. So not looking forward to this episode. But good call on nailing the title! Haha!

 

Keto's strong suit is writing Laurel... I have no idea why she'd be writing a Felicity centric episode. IMO I'm bracing myself for some cringeworthy scenes where Felicity is going to pretty much blow up and be entirely unfair and somehow -- if this is the episode that Oliver's kid becomes known to Felicity -- will make Felicity look like the 'villain' of this entire scenario. Ugh

I just realized we'll on be on 'ring watch' on social media BTS photos from now on. 'She's still wearing the ring. Okay. Cool. SHE'S NOT WEARING THE RING ANYMORE OMG!' LOL.

We can pretty much count on Felicity being the villain. She's already getting the blame. And if Keto is writing the fallout, then it's going to be extra horrible. UGH.

Why do I feel like this will be the immature and bad version of what happened between Michael and Nikita with his whole kid story line. I'm sure at some point Oliver like Michael did will realize because of the life they lead a kid has no place in while they are still government assassins or a crime fighting hero!

Okay, I tried to stay away from hoping that CC kid's father is not Oliver and after the DNA test was done last week, I gave up all hope but could William be Robert's son? This show clearly doesn't know how DNA works and Barry specifically mentioned the Y chromosome matched. Could that be why the kid aged up to 10? Could the sin of the father actually be about Oliver suffering the consequences of Robert's affair? And could part of the storyline be that if Oliver had just trusted Felicity to run the DNA from the beginning she would have caught that?

 

It would be a way of having the father/son plot. But also a way to have BM not be a mainstay in their lives once Oliver finds out and only appear very rarely so Oliver could visit with his half-brother.

 

I'll just be over here in my tinfoil hat.

You know, I thought that, but then I was like...no, too gross. But then I remembered this show and I suppose anything is possible.

They both slept with Isabel and since it seems like the writers were going for the soap opera effect I think that has to be at least in the top 10 of soap opera troupes!

Episodes I liked: 

 

Keto:

The Climb

The Candidate

Brotherhood was okay

 

Ben:

Secret Origins of Felicity Smoak

Broken Arrow

 

Ben's run makes me feel better about him teaming with Keto and I hope that he has more of a voice in this episode than Keto. It's obvious that looking at Ben's work and Keto's that Ben's work has some of the best Felicity/Olicity moments whereas Keto's has some of the worst (but her body of work has some of the best Laurel moments)

I'm not sure why they did this, actually. It's an exceptionally stupid mistake considering that someone managed to date the check Moira gave BM somewhat correctly.

I feel like the ending of 413 has two possible polar opposite options. Either one, Felicity, after the whole episode of dealing with her father, decides to forgive Oliver. Or the other, Felicity, again after dealing with her father, blows up at him, breaks up with him, and gives him the engagement ring back. Personally, I think that the writers wouldn't want to do a complete repeat of the fight in 408 by making it a huge blow-up kind of fight. WM definitely mentioned how this is going to bring up problems within their relationships, so I believe that their actual break-up is going to be somewhere in the middle. Like, Felicity will find out and, because of the whole plot with her father, is going to see and understand the position that Oliver was in. However, I don't think she will be completely ready to forgive him, and I think she would just quietly ask for a break from their relationship to reevaluate her perspective. Not a fight and break-up per se, but a mix between the endings in 312 and 406 that results in them not being engaged anymore.

IDK why, but as we see more spoilers I'm less and less confident that they're going to break up. Right now I don't think they are only because the writers love their parallels and when it comes to Oliver/Papa Smoak, I think they're going to want to highlight that Papa Smoak LEFT Felicity and Oliver would never which is why Felicity is going to try to work things out with him.

 

I really hope that Donna yells at Oliver in this episode but encourages Felicity to work on her relationship with Oliver instead of blowing up and breaking it off with him. It'll be tough but hopefully this is the episode they start mending fences (which hopefully will take more than 1 episode to do)

I'll give u props for an out of the box solution. But the thought of OQ being Eskimo brothers with his father again.... plz no.

Also it doesn't fix the problem which is that OQ is keeping secrets & potentially lying multiple times. That becomes a trust issue. The kid's existence is the least of the problems with the story. I actually think BM & William will get very little time on the show either in plot or screen time.

LOLOLOL at that promo for the next episode. 

 

This is good news, right? Pretty much ensures that Felicity isn't the one in the grave 3/4 months from now. 

 

Pretty much, YES.

 

But I kinda hope people are melting down everywhere? Not that I'm gonna look, because I only like you guys.

So, the "precious" thing of DD's that Oliver's gonna take - it's gonna be his daughter, right? And DD showed that he isn't afraid to go after the children tonight with that drone attack. Goodness. BM better set her OQ Google Alerts to RED RED RED, because a big 'ol baddie is coming for her precious boy.
