The reason why Oliver confessed was because the kid got kidnapped. The whole purpose of lying to her was to protect the kid… and it didn't protect the kid.

Oliver's turned into a dick. I'm now hoping Helix goes F Society and burns this mother down.

She wasn't shady when she threw Thea under the bus? She wasn't shady when she paid off a source? She wasn't shady when she banged Oliver to confirm her suspicions about the Bratva? And why did she have an entire file on her computer of information that could compromise Oliver if she didn't intend to use it?

Yes, I'm a Felicity person, but I have a friend with cerebral palsy who really appreciated having a hero in a wheelchair. Alas, it will never be… unless they vaguely mention Felicity inherited the codename Oracle from someone else, but she didn't need it anymore; back to playing with guys who only come out at night.…

If they had hired Gail Simone from the start a Birds of Prey spin-off might be in its second or third season. I still hold out hope for a badass Barbara wheeling around at some point - just vaguely refer to you know who, that dark night guy too busy making derivative movies that never are as good as you want them to…

Buddy Cop show in the making.

Two thoughts: (1) Am I the only one who saw Jeri Ryan (who cares about her character name, it's Jeri Ryan) as young and douchey Oliver's MILF crush? (2) Oliver for Mayor is a far less ludicrous thought thanks to the Presidential candidacy of Donald Trump, proving that there's a bright side to everything.

Better comparison is Angel: everything he does is right because he's a CHAMPION, and everything he does wrong wasn't really him, it was ANGELUS. Seriously, guy NEVER EVER owned his shit. Not that I have strong opinions or anything. Or prefer Spike.

This actually would be the best possible course of action - and really quite an original, groundbreaking thing for the CW. The cliché thing to do would have an external wrench thrown in the spanner just as they reach the height of their happiness to cause unnecessary conflict. This is why I hope the grave isn't…

Haven't you ever watched a soap opera? Amnesia would only amp up the melodrama even more!

I think there was an element of "biding his time." When Oliver kept secrets, it was all about "leave me alone to wallow in my pain." Diggle's secret had more of a "wait and see" feeling. He's going to tell everyone about HIVE eventually (hopefully soon enough and organically enough that his withholding information…

It sounds like Felicity will take charge, smack her boys in the head, then lock them in the new lair until they hug it out. There may be some tension continuing to rear its head, but I think most everything should be settled by the third episode.

The whole driving-off-into-the-sunset thing was far too much like a series finale - season 4 looks like it's going from there and then rebooting itself into the show it once was before breaking up the best parts of the show to promote spin-offs and indulging Oliver's manpain and making everyone cry (not just Felicity)…

Don't you know? Once you get "Felicity Approved!" tattooed on your ass, you're legitimized. Tearing down Sara to prop Laurel up by saying Sara had no "light" is supposed to show how superior Laurel is in comparison, even if she's absolute shit in the field and still terribly written. The fact that they needed to do a…
