Season2!Laurel Lance approves of this message.

I share your opinion about Mama Smoak. I too was expecting some annoying mom who would be acting like a kid, and I kind of liked that Felicity and her just don't understand each other and why Felicity would resent it and be bitter about it. It can't be easy being systematically smarter than the people you interact…

haha it's not so much the fact that she kept the shirt, it's that she mostly came out of that bathroom (because she was homeless?) dressed exactly the way we meet her three years later and it sort of indicates that she didn't evolve between "boyfriend #1" and meeting Oliver. Which bothers me. People evolve in 3 years,…

They will, Stephen Amell said so this summer. He even said that the EPs decided to go with his idea to bring it back. But it doesn't mean they'll bring it back this season, considering Arrow's ratings they know they'll have a season 4.

Also: everyone was wearing a shirt.
MISSED. OPPORTUNITY.

Can you imagine? She'll act all badass, save someone's life and then bitch about the fact that they didn't even thank her while they ran for their life.

Yes, but one does it in a cute, funny and badass way while the other induces grimaces and boredom.

I actually didn't think it was retcon. I understand why she went into a lame-ass IT job after she realized that the virus she invented turned against her and ruined her life (granted, it was her bf's own fault but I see how Felicity would blame herself for "Coop'" to be sent to jail and committing suicide).

Didn't shady wheelchair guy in The Flash say that she graduated from a Masters in 2009? So. Do what you want with this info.

That's my main issue at that point: when Laurel makes the dramatic reveal, I just won't care. We've been trying to accept Sara's death for 5 episodes now. The writers are actually taking away a lot of the emotional impact that there could be by keeping Papa Lance in the dark. It's dumb and useless and makes all the…

And she was wearing the same shirt as in her first episode in the show. WTF, show? She had this ONE shirt for 3 years?

In anticipation?

Oh. Emma Stone as her bitchy jealous sister. I'd watch that.
The show would be called "Slammin' it with the Smoaks"

Also, it apparently turns Laurel into a raging dictator. "These wrenches and peasants shall burn for being scared!"
Papa Lance (still in the dark after 4 episodes!) ripped her a new one but it goes a long way to prove that at this point Oliver just doesn't have the energy to care/react anymore. He sounded and looked…

I hope in season 5 they have her turn evil because of… reasons, like she's brainwashed or drugged or whatever, and it turns her into an evil weapon of evil and everyone's freaking out. Because: no one can beat Felicity.

"Which I know sounds like a compliment to you!" haha damn, she can be so mean.

I so hope this isn't going to happen you have no idea. They have to know everyone's expecting it, right?

Who doesn't?

My all-time favorite thing was Felicity doing crunches though. As the host was saying "Niiiiiine" Felicity was like "Five. I'm done for today."

How much is scripted and how much is Jake Johnson's crazy brain though?
