At least my chanting "anyone but Felicity" worked.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Point. I would have been WAY more traumatized if it had been Felicity.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I actually thought Felicity was going to die while she was talking to Ollie--she sure made no attempt to save herself or tell the truth while shit was blowing up next to her.
It's really not fair that three people get impaled and Ollie is just as perky as ever. Damn, man.
As gamechangers go, you could apply the term accurately to this.

I'm not that upset about Tommy dying. I really thought he was the most boring character in the series, imho. Is Daddy Merlyn dead, or was there a chance he could survive his wounds and make a getaway?

Aw, man. I loved Tommy. Plus -- SO PRETTY.

I was assuming he is dead like a dead thing.

I guess he's pretty, but there is just so much pretty on this show, that he never really pinged me as such.
I was assuming he is dead like a dead thing.
I was too, but then Oliver told Tommy he didn't kill him, and I was wondering if that was a hint to the audience that he isn't really dead. Maybe he had another back up plan for his own survival?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm pretty sure the CW has more genre shows than SyFy now: [link]

Oliver told Tommy he didn't kill him
Wasn't Ollie doing a cheap rug impersonation at the time? I thought he'd run in to save Laurel and wasn't sure she wasn't dead yet. Or did he hear her talking as he rode around to the back door?
I swear to god, I wanted Ollie to kiss dead Tommy. Not in a sexy way (well, dead). But saying he loved him was big and appropriate--I don't really care for the lead's acting, but he sold that grief pretty effectively and was fair exploding with it.

Oh hell yes. It's what Tommy wanted to hear.

Seriously. I don't think he's a *bad* actor, per se, but he's not really my cup of tea. But he really nailed that last scene.
