I just watched the first episode and I wasn't impressed, in fact I think the 90s flash series pilot was a lot better. That show gets a lot of flack but I really liked it. I'm also mad that Iris West is black, ugh. The 90s show also messed up Iris West. Anyway Flash is one of my favorite superheroes and I look forward to seeing the other episodes even if I hadn't been feeling this flash show and didn't like the Arrow S2 crossover. I always wanted a new flash show and hope this can be it, I'm a big fan of Arrow.

First 8 episodes are meh, but once you get to episode 9, that's where everything gets good.

Pulling out the glut of LoT setup resulting in a better season 4 has nothing to do with Felicity; she's a lost cause. But removing all the Sarah crap would have given us a lot more room for advancing the main plot. Also, I'm sick of Laurel being in Sarah's shadow. Let Laurel move ON already.

For a 3 Stooges reference, you may bear the title of "My Favorite Person" for the rest of the day. It comes with an honorary badge made of aluminum foil, cardstock, and glitter... make sure you give it back to me before you leave for the day.

Most fans found her to be written as too whiny and annoying in the previous season. She was fine in the first two, but after Oliver's first showdown with Ra's, that was when the show seemed to go downhill. And there's the fact the show's making her become Oracle in all but name, which is another Batman-related thing this show has "borrowed".

Add that to the fact that the show's pushing her and Oliver as a couple instead of him and Dinah thanks to shippers, it's understandable that the majority of Arrow fans have become tired of her and want her to be killed off.

The fact that Felicity is the most self-absorbed character in the show. She made it all about herself and her feelings for Oliver; never mind the city, never mind Thea or Roy; never mind that she was never even supposed to BE Oliver's love (the Season 2 finale of her and Oliver was a deliberate ruse to fool Slade and protect Laurel, thus inciting shippers and fangirls to demand this become reality).

Basically, the writers pushed her past her character role to become an emotionally overwraught, lovesick hanger-on whose character development completely devolved into "Do I want to bed Ray or Ollie?" It was pathetic, and ruined a character that most everybody agrees was great in Seasons 1 and 2 (and even up to Oliver's death in the Season 3 midfinale).

Season 4 has done nothing to fix her problems, and instead, seems to even be compounding them. And another problem? She is HOGGING female character screentime. Laurel is woefully underserved this season, still in Sarah's shadow.

Felicity wasn't too bad this season until the Flash/Arrow crossover. That's when the melodrama was hitting big time.

I think Patty, despite superficially sharing a lot similarities with Felicity, works better because they gave her an actual character arc outside of being Barry's love interest and they actually gave her flaws instead of being this SUPER AWESOME FLAWLESS HACKER Felicity is.

I think the episode that really seals in how much of a bitch Felicity is is 4x08. Oliver finds out he has a kid, and she doesn't give him any room to breathe about it.

I wish the writers would have Oliver pimp slap this bitch.

Also, Felicity as CEO of a company is idiotic.

If my ex was a CEO and she died, even if she left the company to me in his will, I'm pretty sure stockholders and the board of directors would have control of the company out of my hands within a week. I'd be financially compensated, but running a company?

Felicity as a CEO is the dumbest thing I've ever seen in Arrow. I hate it more than I hate Olicity, to be perfectly honest. <<braces for barrage of angry betrayed accusations from Foomby>>

You betray me.



Nah, but I agree with you, bro. It's like the writers keep forcing Felicity to have storylines.

But enough about that. Anyone else EXTREMELY excited to see more Zoom? My only real gripe about season 1 is that they made us wait from 1x09 to 1x22 for Barry to fight Reverse Flash again. I hope they give us one or two more battles with Zoom between now and the season finale, but it looks like we might be getting one in 2x10.

They absolutely DO keep forcing it.

Nah; she's too awesome. I'm just hoping Barry mans up and tells her that he's the Flash.

Watch her get her neck snapped by Zoom as soon as he tries telling her. XD I think she'll be leaving the show for a little bit, though. I have a funny feeling about that. Especially if everyone's going to Earth-2. Then she'd get suspicious about where Barry is, unless he had told her.
