lemotomato January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 Well nothing says "lighter tone" than permanently disabling the one character that brought the lightness out of everyone. (I don't believe they'll actually keep her paralyzed forever, but we know they're going to play it like they are until they find the miracle cure hopefully by spring sweeps.) 8 Link to comment
tarotx January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 Felicity is the girlfriend and the one with no mask. Of course she is the one to suffer. It hurts worse and causes the Superhero to question. Plus Felicity is the one who wanted to come back. Of course that will come back to bite her. I think the LP could have healed her but it's gone :( I personally want to see Oliver's side of this. He's the lead and my favorite character. But if we don't get Fecility's side at every angle it will just be nasty. She's the one who's physically injured beyond repair. I don't think she'll be permanently in the chair. PT will come up with something. I will believe until I have no other option. Link to comment
Chasity January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 This story is Felicity's crucible and I'm interested in seeing how this plays out. As a Felicity fan, I want to see how she deals with this and see her find another way to walk again. As an Olicity fan, I want to see Oliver being there for her and being her light in the darkness. 8 Link to comment
dtissagirl January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I'm currently rewatching the "Headquarters!" episode of Limitless, and Brian's concept of "the enemies of joy" surely applies to the Arrow writers to a T. They ARE the enemies of joy. 3 Link to comment
apinknightmare January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 First of all, I have to comment on the discussion on the previous page - paraplegics can have sex. They can also have babies. Second, because there's no doubt in my mind that Palmer Tech is going to come up with a "cure," I don't have any doubt Felicity is going to walk again. Seems to me, at this point, it's the whole reason why they introduced that storyline in the first place since they've barely revisited it since. There's no reason for PT to be struggling, Felicity doesn't have a storyline at work apart from needing this big magical discovery for this board meeting of doom in 6 months. They could've brought Curtis on as her go-to tech person without the company struggles, since that's all he seems to be at this point anyway. IMO, the struggle and the company's troubles and this board meeting were set up for this miracle tech discovery and Felicity walking again. Normally I wouldn't mind a storyline like this, but it's all going to be glossed over. Since based on set pics for 4x11 she's already back at work and getting a codename it doesn't seem like they're going to show any kind of rehab whatsoever (will be glad to be wrong about that). She doesn't wear a mask, so it's not like she needs something physical to sideline her so she can get all introspective about her mission. They're doing it for the plotty plot as always, so once they wring all they can out of that, a miracle discovery will me made and she'll stand up on her own. 11 Link to comment
GirlvsTV January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I don't understand why Felicity needs a crucible? She's already a hero and the fact that both she and Digg are not saddled with a comicbook 'destiny' is, IMO, one of the reasons they've worked so well on the show. Felicity deserves her own stories, not to be stuck in ripped off storylines to make her fit into to the persona of some other comicbook character. Honestly, I think this killed off my remaining interest in the show for now. I'm not watching another half-season of everyone being miserable all the time, especially not Felicity. 5 Link to comment

apinknightmare January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I agree with everything you said...doesnt make me dread/hate this depressing storyline any less :D Same, haha. Although I do wonder how depressing it'll wind up being since I'm fairly certain they're going to gloss over the majority of the things that would make me sad about it (if I thought it was permanent permanent and not Arrow permanent). Like, I don't want to see her frustrated and upset because she can't do the same things she used to do the way she used to do them, but I wonder how much of it they'll bother showing since she'd have to go through months of rehab but is seemingly out and about in the next ep.

Guest January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 (edited) The thing is though, I literally can't think of a single reason why/how making Felicity disabled adds to her story/character? Because even if they create tech to get her to walk again (and thus save PT), it's very likely that Curtis will be the one doing it so once again, Felicity will be used to service another male character. I feel very uneasy about the whole thing. It just doesn't sit right with me. And if it's not about that, it's about giving her a codename which belongs to another comic book character and Felicity deserves her own codename and origin. She's amazing enough on her own. Why saddle her with comic book history/expectations when she's been free from them so far? Yuck. Even if Felicity does walk again, I can't muster the enthusiasm for one single storyline in 4b. Not one. At this point I feel like I'll be watching out of morbid/masochistic curiosity for how badly they might handle things. LOL. I'm feeling very negative today. You might want to ignore me.

looptab January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 Would she have to go through rehab, though? If they say her injury is permanent and she'll never walk again, wouldn't they just put her in the chair and be done with it?

Oh, okay. Hey, maybe they'll bother with some scene here or there, like they did with the whole AA business. At the very least, I hope they mention it in passing , if they are not showing. But this is Arrow, soit'll probably be completely ignored. Which is a pity, considering even 90210 managed to deal with a paralysis-but that was a drama, here they need to show the stunt doubles.

Normal people do. The therapy is supposed to help you in your daily life. This way you can learn to depend on yourself again. The most problematic side effect of paralysis is having to go the bathroom. At first, depending on the injury you need a catheter because you cannot control that anymore. That will also be taught to you. Furthermore it is supposed to help with the emotional stress. Usually it is recommended. Someone else already said it, you can still have kids. Having children is a hormonal thing and doesn't have to do with nerves. Having sex is a little difficult because a specific female body part doesn't get stimulated as easily anymore.

Thank you for your explanation. I imagine in real life that's a radical change that needs all the help possible-physical, psychological. But since this is tv, I'm not expecting it to be realistic. Also, they might gloss over some of these problems if they have the time jump occur between 410 and 411. So that in 411 the new way of life they have to deal with, and related struggles, have been going on longer than a few days. Edited January 10, 2016 by looptab Link to comment
Chaser January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 (edited) She is going to walk again. I have no doubt about that. I agree that a lot will be glossed over, probably by a time jump between 4x10 and 4x11. I'm not raging at the storyline anymore but I'm not looking to it. There is way too much pain potential. Count me in as someone who needs both Oliver and Felicity reactions. This just can't be a season 3 situation where Oliver gets to talk but the viewer has to infer Felicitys actions. As for this being a hellmouth back to Oliver and Laurel? No. I'm sure that's a pitch that would go over wonderfully. "Let's paralyze Felicity and have her break up with Oliver because she feels inadequate. He can agree with her and then get back together with Laurel. Oh no, he needs to break with her so Laurel fans don't think he is settling. Okay, Oliver decides he doesn't love Felicity enough because he can't stand her not walking." No way does Oliver not come out a complete tool. Edited to say: Just realized there is a terrible pun in there. I'm going to keep it in there because I feel if they have this conversation they would be terrible people who make terrible puns.

I'm not even sure what this crucible is for? She's supposedly not going to wear a mask, and she's already happy and confident in what she's doing to help save the city, most of which she does sitting down anyway. She seems to be happy with and confident in her professional life, which she also does sitting down, so...I'm not all that confident that this is even about her to the point where it even needs time to develop properly. Seems like it's happening for relationship drama and possibly for Curtis to Gary Stu it up a little more by coming up with whatever the cure is going to be.

Or maybe The EPs were afraid of comic fanboy backlash and decided they had to honor the Oracle storyline (even temporarily) in order to lesson the backlash?

Guest January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 (edited) Doing all this just for the Oracle codename is pointless though seeing as no one wants her to be Oracle. I haven't seen any Felicity fan who wants that origin for her and no comic book canon fan wants it either because it's taking away from Batgirl's origin story. So who exactly are they pleasing here? It's absolutely ridiculous. And I'm even wary of them creating magical tech that gets her to walk again because if it's Curtis who creates it then Felicity is just a prop in his story and he'll get all the glory, especially within fandom. But if Felicity creates it she'll just be called a Mary Sue who can magically heal paralysis now! I can see it already. If this is the way the story is going and the paralysis isn't permanent (still not convinced it's not) I really hope it's a joint effort and they work together. Kind of like they can't do it without the other. I want to see Felicity determined and never give up even when it looks futile. I want her to be her own savior, even if she struggles along the way.

tangerine95 January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I don't think they're calling her Oracle though its possible but I do think the main reason they're doing this is comics.They're probably doing some sort of mix of Oracle and Proxy storylines.I don't think Felicity really needed a cruicible since she has her reasons for being a hero all worked out and she's not getting a mask.A cruicible for a codename would be only there for outside reasons like they think they need to put her through hell to justify a big comic book name and I hope they're not doing that.On the show a codename should just be a practical thing so villains don't find out her name,not this huge deal she has to suffer to be allowed. They most likely wanted to give her a big emotional storyline and most ideas they seem to have for character development is making characters suffer so we're getting this. I'm sure its not permanent though but I still hate its happening at all.I just hope we get pics of EBR filming outside standing up so at least we know around when in the season its ending.That would make it easier for me to handle. 3 Link to comment

wonderwall January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I don't think they're wrapped up in LoT just yet because apparently there are 16 episodes and I don't think at this point in time when the writers were writing this episode/coming up with possible arcs for 4B he was very free considering that was probably when they were still writing/plotting LoT episodes as well. A few comments, while Felicity will be going back to help TA in episode 11, I don't think this is indicative that they'll gloss over her issues. She can still face the issues and not resolve them and still help TA save Star(ling) because maybe saving Starling is just that important to her? IDK If there IS a time jump between episode 10/11 then yeah I'd consider that glossing over her issues, but I guess I won't judge until I see what happens. All I know for sure is that this arc will be heavily dependant on SA and EBR elevating the material they've been given and knocking their scenes out of the park. While I know SA is up to the challenge, I'm excited to see how EBR handles this meatier arc because unlike other actors, she is a more nuanced actor and has improved a lot over the course of the show. 3 Link to comment
Ann Mack January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 (edited) Maybe this is the "hallucination" story line Marc was trying to get ahead of yesterday, because he knew the promo might be getting released. It just seems to ridiculous and provide no added value to her character, the loving relationship between her and Oliver, or to the show to have her "permanently paralyzed" and put it in the promo to be released. I hope since they know they could no longer use the grave as a mean to generate buzz these pricks are using this. Australia and Asia usually give more beefy promos with "WTF moments" than the U.S. and that was NO exception it was a doozy! I was trying to gauge Donna's reaction from that and I got nothing. So we're talking, people are in a state of confusion and disbelief about what the show is doing. The writers may have managed to piss off dedicated Felicity, Olicity, Barbara Gordon, Oracle, general Arrow viewers, and comic book aficionados all in one fell swoop. These writers definitely have a gift. Edited January 10, 2016 by Ann Mack Link to comment

That's about it. She's a goddess she always looks Faboulous IMO Link to comment
Ann Mack January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 That has me curious if what DD took from the Pit is what he still uses to heal himself and stay youthful or is it the mumbo jumbo and symbols on his body that does it? Also, I'm very interested to learn the purpose of the corn, cause after the promo showing his wife she didn't look that healthy, so why hasn't he slipped her some Lazarus Pit juice or chanted some magical words over her? What is the overall healing powers or usefulness of the corn? So many unanswered questions dealing with Damien Darhk and now the story line of Felicity's paralysis and I wonder if he has something that could help her. 1 Link to comment

thegirlsleuth January 10, 2016 Share January 10, 2016 I am happy that Felicity is getting her only storyline, especially if they treat it as hers and not just another trial for Oliver. I kind of doubt that they are going to treat it with the respect and sensitivity that it deserves, although they did have some really nice, subtle moments in season 4a so I am not without hope. I am worried that they are shoe-horning her into the Oracle role, since there is a direct correlation between terrible character development and someone with comic destiny, and I really think that paralyzing her didn't make a whole lot of sense in hitting her where it would cause her the most damage to her sense of self. Not that it won't be challenging, but I think something where she has hallucinations and can't trust her mind would be more appropriate for someone like her. I love how our reaction to spoilers are "Ugh! How are the writers going to fuck THIS up?" 14 Link to comment
