If Roy dies doing parkour and douchebag!DJ dies atrociously before that, I don't mind.

But we'll all be groaning! We already have 10 sentences like that! It could actually be a drinking game. "Because of the life that I lead" speech, anyone? I mean, we've been there, done that during the Felicity/Oliver date. He can get the girl. He's wrong. Everyone knows it. Even Oliver Queen knows it. He doesn't have

Man, I wish.

… That would make more sense, wouldn't it? You hog the covers. Not Oliver Queen. Oh wait.

Oh Wells is more of a problem to me than Iris, if that makes you feel any better. And I find Cisco so annoying I wouldn't mind if he combusted instantly. I didn't like Caitlin until they shaded her character more and showed us something other. And we know why she helps Barry, she says it often and her reactions prove

Naaah. Ray's totally the one who dies saving Felicity because Oliver couldn't for some reason. You know. Tommy style. Because drama.

I kinda wanted to punch Oliver in the face in his last scene with Barry. "Men like us don't get the girl"? Really, Oliver? You've banged almost all of them! And you don't get the girl because you don't WANT to.

But where is her ability to make a choice when all the characters make the most important ones for her? She repeatedly said she wanted to know who truly was The Flash, yet he doesn't tell her because her daddy forbade it. She doesn't have that ability to influence the plot, she seems to exist uniquely for Barry to

Haha so glad I wasn't the only one reacting to this. 20 people had a CAT scan for going nuts in a bank. Oh, show. The writers must laugh their asses off sometimes when they look for ways to give "believable" exposition.

I love the Caitlin/Felicity friendship and Caitlin saying "I'm so glad there's more estrogen in that facility!" and Felicity felt that too. If they want to do an episode with Caitlin, Felicity and Sara (or I guess Laurel?) fighting crimes while the guys are too busy doing… stuff, I'm all for it.

Nitpicking here, but it wasn't to get an abortion. Moira said that it was for whatever Baby Mama decided. She got 1 million to tell Oliver that there wasn't a baby anymore. If she wanted to keep the baby she had another million once (s)he was born. Doesn't sound like a "get an abortion" to me, more like a "do whatever

But then, if they really wanted to make Iris have an agency, she would totally ignore that her dad doesn't want her to be a cop. The fact that she'd go behind his back to accomplish what she thinks is right would benefit her from so many perspective and also show that Joe is wrong for repeatedly lying to her about

I know. I just felt ill at ease, her looking at Oliver like that.

I think most of the problem with Iris is that the story isn't told from her perspective so she seems like she's far behind us viewers. We know what problems Barry struggles with, Cisco and Caitlin can understand his point of view because they're in the know so ultimately their opinions matter because they're pertinent.

When she isn't in a scene, Iris waits tables at the coffee shop or she hangs out at the police station just because. When Cailtin is not on screen, she probably cries herself to sleep because she mixes Ronnie and Barry together. Cisco invents nerdy stuff that I wish I could imagine.

The cock block character dies saving the woman so she feels emotionally indebted and guilty while the hero who couldn't save her berates himself and they can't get together because the cock block character "won".

"I don't get why Barry and Felicity didn't hook up."

I liked how Oliver was observing casually the top of the line prison.

Though to be fair, it wasn't so much staring as "hogging". Felicity Smoak stared Oliver Queen down, people. Is there anything she can't do?

Is Supergirl part of JSA?
