Felicity took Black Siren down after she was depowered. Not only that, Felicity took her down by surprise, I doubt BS knew Felicity was going to punch her. Also if anyone punches anyone in the head with full force (to the point where they'd need to ice their knuckles), they'd definitely go down.

I don't really see how Oliver revealing is secret to the newbies backfired. Part of the reason why Oliver is so trusting now IS because Felicity pushed him in the beginning of the season, which is actually character growth for him.

When is this show ever consistent in terms of power? Laurel's canary cry was the most inconsistent power on the show.. At least they're consistently inconsistent with her power.

Also, may I suggest therapy? Because daydreaming about a woman, even a fictional character, to be chopped up into pieces is again, disturbing.

That's just disturbing and gross. Please go back to reddit where you came from.

She was depowered and Felicity took her by surprised. Not hard to take someone out like that with a hard punch.

Is it me or has Oliver been incredibly stupid this season?

I'm actually glad this episode showed that Ragman can be taken down… He's been a little too effective in the field.

See this is interesting to me because generally speaking, what I've seen before, how we perceive characters colors how we watch their scenes. I personally don't like Laurel, and I admit that it makes me a little more harder on her than anyone else. It's just a bias. If I said I thought Cassidy's performance was weak…

There was an interview from Guggenheim that said that Felicity won't go too far with her ruthlessness, and that they acknowledge the levity she brings to the show and won't stray from that.

Even the purpose for Oliver to stop killing got wiped away.

He hates Felicity. I think that should say it all. Which, nothing wrong with it. It's just that how we feel about characters definitely color how we view their scenes.

So you're saying it's OK for villains to kill the protagonists but not OK for protagonists to take down said villains who tried to kill them? This makes no sense.

I don't believe in fan service. I say this because the show caters to almost everyone. The comic fans for their small shout outs (boxing glove arrow etc), the Olicity fans have their thing (flashback scene in 509), and so on and so forth.

IMO the only characters Arrow really needs are: Oliver, Diggle, Thea, Felicity, Moira (RIP :'() - I feel like there's a revolving door for everyone else.

Why not? I mean Laurel tried to kill her in this episode so…

Prometheus being Tommy makes SO much sense. He comes up only after Laurel dies, he knows so much about him, he is a callback from season 1 (like the writers said he would be)…

Point.

I'm glad Felicity isn't taking up the BC mantle. This show has enough fighters, Felicity's position is unique.

I think the bright spot of the episode was Felicity and this new dynamic the show is trying with her. She spoke her mind, was logical, a great leader, and didn't let anyone walk all over her. Felicity really has come into her own as a character the past few years and I appreciate that. I really hope to see the writers…
