God, can you imagine Moira's reaction to Donna Smoak?

Oh, yes, science. That's a good point. I had to do the same thing earlier in the season when Oliver was on the salmon ladder. I'm so interested in his technique.

I hope it's soon and I hope Oliver freaks the fuck out.

I enjoyed this. The endless spin off set up episodes of Flash and Arrow are getting a little much, but Arrow is still doing them well and integrating them into the broader storylines. Sara's abrupt departure is probably the one thing that hasn't felt right on the Arrow side. I really hope we'll see more from Sara…

I like to think that in one of their casual texting sessions, Oliver dropped a minor mention that Felicity had been working a lot and it snowballed out of his control into Donna deciding to visit. And Oliver, ever keen to get in Mama Smoak's good books, didn't know how to get out of it and some small stupid part of…

I'm less convinced after tonight that that will be the case. You think Damien Darhk would have reacted to learning Felicity's name.

I think Oliver revealed enough in his talk with Digg. He specifically mentioned how easy the technological stuff is for Felicity compared to him, so he probably feels jealous that Ray can match Felicity in a way he can't. Insecure Oliver is actually pretty adorable.

I appreciate that Oliver didn't get all pissy at Felicity and just gave her space while simultaneously looking like a kicked puppy. Plus it gave us that Digg/Oliver scene.

I agree with you in relation to the Flash - that show really hasn't integrated the spin off requirements very well. Apart from everything feeling a bit rushed this episode, Arrow has actually done a pretty good job of weaving in the spin off stuff.

While I didn't like the Felicity crying bit, because we had more than enough of that last season, I think the way they wove in the inevitable Olicity relationship drama wasn't too bad. Felicity was obviously feeling guilty that she wasn't around months ago to help Ray, blamed that on her relationship and was guilty…

She wouldn't know about the Flash though, would she? She died the night Oliver met up with Barry and learned about his powers. But still, it would be great. I think Cisco's brain would explode at the knowledge there are two Canaries.

I love Parker Young, but I keep waiting for him to say something goofy yet heartfelt after him playing adorable dummies in both Suburgatory and Enlisted.

You've got to wonder if Charlotte Ross' agreement for returning included the requirement that Donna and Lance get it on.

Surely she has some sort of protection against it incapacitating her. You'd think it would be easy enough for Felicity (or Cisco) to rig up something similar and for her to give a bit of pre-warning. Now that we know she has the Canary Cry, it really is stupid that she barely uses it.

I think we can all agree that the CW sucks at promos. They give too much away, like showing the engagement ring in the promos before season 4 started, showing Oliver and Felicity getting it on last season in Nanda Parbat…clearly they're just baiting Olicity fans with their trailers.

Well, Jane the Virgin won, so it's more a genre thing as opposed to the network? Look how long it took for Tatiana Maslany to get nominated for Orphan Black.

True story. If Arrow can't even get nominated for stunts, it sure as hell isn't going to get nominated or win for acting. I think all the genre shows' nomination videos get collectively shoved into the bin by award voters.

I believe the accepted term is SmoakNLance.

I believe that's Detective Officer Captain Acting Co-Mayor Lance.

There was a lot of grunting in that fight. Obviously fight scenes, like tennis, take a lot of effort but in both cases the grunting somewhat ruins the spectacle.
