A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
has the fandom completely imploded.
The people I follow are pretty solid Olicity fans and they are washing their hands on the show. Many of them think Felcity will be dead by the end of the season.
I am 3 eps behind, so no first hand thoughts but the big complaints I am seeing:
- Oliver regression
- Felicity sidelined
- no one going to Felicity when her boyfriend was killed
- no exploration of the boyfriend character up to know for this to have impact
Also lots of complaints of misogyny from the show as a whole: Sara, Nyssa, Laurel, Thea, Felicity - all of them serving as tragedy props for the show with virtually no scenes showing their POV.
I thought the episode established that Prometheus was the son of the man Ollie killed in the flashbacks (or at least established that Team Arrow thinks it's him.)
I do wonder how Prometheus managed to figure out how Ollie was trained and follow in his footsteps.
Of course, with the Russian connection, they seemed to linger on the bottle of Russian vodka Ollie's reporter girlfriend poured for him long enough to make me think something is up with her.
Also, are my ears correct in telling me that Michael Dorn is voicing Prometheus?

Yeah, remember a few episodes back, one of her connections gave her a photo of Ollie in Russia from 5 years ago, so now she knows he wasn't on the island the whole time. Whatever she's doing, she's playing a long con there.

That's so incredibly boring that surely it's not true. It has virtually no impact on the viewers if it's some heretofore-unmentioned illegitimate son of a pharma company owner from a fake flashback.
Felicity did say that someone came back from the dead almost every Wednesday.
This is so gonna jerk around Quentin (some more). I mean, enough with Schrodinger's daughters already!
Yikes, seriously. It's like, good news! Laurel came back while you were in rehab! Bad news, she died again before you got out.
I'm with those who aren't convinced this is actual Laurel, of course.
Sometimes I get cranky about shows where people don't stay dead. Lazarus pit, alien blood transfusion, whatever ... and they aren't even zombified.

Avoid Soap Operas. Just sayin'.
oh, THAT I know. And Buffy. And Angel. And ... well, you probably know more than I ....
I'm also skeptical as to the realness of this particular Laurel (especially showing up right after Ollie had a really bad night).
We also had an episode earlier this season (Human Target) that proved someone with the right equipment can flawlessly physically impersonate someone else.
And on that same note, Thawne impersonated Stein on tonight's Legends. And what's with Snart showing up in Mick's mind?

Do we think that's connected to Laurel at all?
