My fear with that is that it's a red herring, which would totally be the current m.o. for this show right now.

Given the ratings last night, I feel like we're going to end up seeing a lot more Felicity centric episodes. Although, it's this show, so maybe they'll interpret those ratings as, "Please give us more Laurel boxing scenes!"

Yes. On the other hand, I enjoyed that she told Ted that her sister was murdered and no one else can ever know and that she has to keep it a secret, and his response to this confession was, "Cool. Want a black outfit or a red outfit." Also, that light touch of symbolism when she picked the black outfit was really tou-…

Also, they have a love child.

I'm okay with that. I'm sorry that the populace of Starling City has to suffer, but better them than me, you know?

I keep refusing to believe this a thing, no matter how many times people tell me it.

I just absolutely love that this show has some sort of political structure in which the District Attorney is replaced by an ADA upon his absence from the city, and that ADA is then empowered to make decisions about riot squads being sent out into the streets without any actual police command structure ordering it.

Blackmail. Wasn't it blackmail? I feel like it was blackmail.

I kind of liked that. It was cheesy as anything, but I liked that she got her own "transformation" moment. If Roy gets one, Felicity gets one. That's the rule.

Seriously. Why are these people not more terrified of her?

Ramsey does so much good work with no lines in the background of scenes, while Colton Haynes mostly just looks confused. It's actually becoming one of my favorite non-intentional sight gags on this show.

It's certainly a step up from season 2, but if I have to watch that same scene with Quentin and Laurel one more time where he tells her he's disappointed in her, he tells her he loves her, sweetheart, and then he asks what secret she's keeping, I'm going to scream.

Dave Ramsey doesn't get a lot of lines, but when he does get lines, he gets the best lines.

I liked that Laurel was at no point anywhere near the Arrow cave.

There were several things I very much appreciated in this episode: 1. Mama Smoak. Sure, she's a bit of an over the top cliche, but damn if she wasn't fun. 2. EBR's crying skillz. 3. That Felicity got to save herself. 4. Finally getting to see Felicity's apartment. 5. Oliver's deep suspicion and fear of Diggle's baby.…

That hurts my brain the worst out of everything. That and Scott Walker.

The facts are all out there about the Duggars - their monetary and publicity support for Bill Gothard, the articles their daughters write comparing abortion to the Holocaust, the ways they've worked the system to fund their mega family, their extreme views on basically every major social issue. I feel like all the…

In fairness, last I watched this show several seasons ago, it was more like White Guy #1, White Guy #2, Indian Girl #1, White Girl #1, White Girl #2, and White Guy #3 with White Girl #2 being a largely interchangeable rotating set of actresses whose characters banged White Guy #1, and White Guy #3 being a less…

It's okay. I like Beth too. We're a minority group, but we exist!

I have a question. I'm quite relieved that Beth wasn't actually raped, because I feel like in no way is this show properly equipped to deal with that subject with a main character (or really at all) and also because I feel like hurting Beth is tantamount to pulling wings off of butterflies, but I couldn't figure out…
