I think I'm the only person here happy that Felicity isn't dead. She's the best thing about the show. It's occasionally hard to get over the tacky writing or wooden dramatic acting (it's not nearly as bad as the first season any more, that was occasionally cringe-inducing - a lot less fanservice on the show now, too), but then you get that glorious Felicity one-liner that makes everything OK.
Wow Arrow, why are you so obvious? In the last episode, Felicity was shot, and this episode starts with Oliver standing over a grave while It's painfully clear that Felicity is not dead and will not be dead. I mean, is there anyone who didn't figure out that the person in the grave is some minor support character? (Like Felicities mother)
Meh, Felicity is not dead. I was hoping for it sooo hard..
I really hoped Felicity dies...
Pictures were leaked on-line of Felicity in a wheel chair and it was rumored she'd be like Arrow's Oracle/Barbara Gordan. That becomes true in this episode unfortunately. They definitely shouldn't go full Batman with this show.
Otherwise the episode was solid with Oliver seeking vengeance on Damien Dark by any means necessary. Even if that means not being there for Felicity when she needs him the most.
@attila.izsack.5 felicity even cried when Oliver’s mum died, and she said herself she didn’t even like Moira, felicity is friends with lance Ofc she will cry. I’m pretty sure it’s laurel though. 100% not felicity’s mum that’s dumb.
Woo hoo, only 3 years behind. How is he gonna defeat Damien. I gave no idea!
The Who is going to die game is irritating. They gave a lot of false lead, with several characters having good or false reasons to be the one, but they're really overplaying it. Opening on it after Felicity's been hurt but showing immediately that it's 4 months from now so it's definitely not related, what's the point ? To make believe it's her for two whole seconds ?
So not even a Felicity fake death ? And it starts to feel like they're not even talking about Darhk.
So just when Diggle needs to talk with his brother, Andy's the one that actually engages the conversation, when he's not said two words since he was captured ? And just because Darhk hurt someone, the guy that believes that the world needs to burn to be reset agrees that he crossed a line ? Come on. In what world does that make any sense ? If they really needed something, they could just have found a paper with the adress on it at Machin's home, it would have been more credible.
Team Arrow is behaving more and more like criminals.
Despite all the supposed evolution of character, Oliver is always back to the I'm the boss, I'll do whatever I feel like, and if you're not happy with it, get out routine. I get it's supposed to be him going dark after what happened to Felicity, instead of even going to see her, but it's getting old.
I don't really get why they're overhyping Machin this much. But if he tried to get to Darhk's family, he'll probably be used again for just that as a trump card out of nowhere.
Island storyline got a little better, but still slow.
I don't know what everyone has against Felicity, I absolutely adore her and I'm really happy it wasn't her in the grave. Though I really, really hate the D&A scenes. They just feel forced and boring. (Also, what's up with every single female character dying, getting crippled, or being stupid in general? Is it only me or the show really hates women in general? With Felicity in a wheelchair it feels like the only woman who's not in trouble is Thea, and she's fighting her own crazy.)
I think the one who will die is Felicity's Mom. In the end Felicity is angry and for the first time she wants Ollie to kill someone!
Yay Felicity isn't dead :) I don't really have a problem with her. The island sequences are getting boring though. Can't say that I liked this episode very much either. The tacky 4 months back jump, Thea being all over the place, Andy in his cage being annoying... don't know, not feeling it this episode. Entertaining but nothing more.
Who Will die? Thea? I really don't have idea.
But not is felicity.
We continue with the grave and fall into violence and the dark side
I don't have anything against Felicity, though I definitely lost interest in her character with how it's been progressing in the show, but her death would have definitely created a serious disruption in the character's life, while her getting paralysed seems just like a temporary ripple. What exactly will change for us as viewers? She'll do her hacking mojo from a wheelchair instead of a computer chair? Oh and there will definitely be a lot of moping, which is understandable but not really interesting to watch.
As far as the predictions about who's in the grave go, mine are still going strong. Now I even more sure that's it either Diggle or Thea. But is it too predictable, considering they're practically spoon-feeding us their inner conflicts and "the calm before the storm" stages in their lives? If so, if it's a misdirection and Arrow decided to be less predicable, then it's either Laurel or Lance and they're purposefully not showing either of them to not give it away. Logically it should be Lance, because he made a deal with the devil, but we all know how people much people love Laurel, so maybe the show decided to get rid of her and milk her death in the process. Either way, we'll see.
Who is in the grave?!

It maybe be a spoiler but its just a guess: I think that Felicity's mom is in the grave
Spoiler: because at the end of the episode we saw felicity almost cry. My first guess was that its gonna be Lance in the grave but then why would Felicity cry?
