DEATHSTROKE, NYSSA AL GHUL, MERLYN AND DIGGER HARKNESS JOIN OLVER’S BATTLE AGAINST PROMETHEUS — The battle between Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra) culminates in a final epic battle on Lian Yu. After recent events, Oliver decides to recruit a group of unlikely allies — Slade (guest star Manu Bennett), Nyssa (guest star Katrina Law), Merlyn (John Barrowman) and Digger Harkness (guest star Nick E. Tarabay) — to defeat Chase. However, Chase has his own army – Black Siren (guest star Katie Cassidy), Evelyn Sharp (guest star Madison McLaughlin) and Talia al Ghul (guest star Lexa Doig) — and the forces collide in an explosive season finale. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Marc Guggenheim (AR523). Original air date 5/24/2017.

I'm almost done with season four. Jesus. I can see why people can't stand Felicity anymore. Her mother too, oh God. Could the writers have created characters any more annoying? I don't mind humour, but this season is really overdoing it with Felicity and her mother too. I swear she was a porn star in another life.

 

[Hotwire]

The survivable injuries are getting a bit out of hand.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Only when you are worked on by actual doctors do you somehow manage to die lol.

She was actually a normal, serious detective in NYPD Blue.

I don't know if they got rid of her in response to fan complaints.

It's not just that Felicity is written annoying. She IS annoying in real life. Her bathroom blog videos are excruciating to watch and even more cringe worthy than anything she does on Arrow. If anything, she's more toned down on Arrow. They probably just started letting her be more herself in season 4. So if you find her annoying, then imagine the real version of her.

Yeah, I use to like Felicity.....she was great in Season 1. But, definitely moving towards heavy annoyance this season. I watch an episode and just have a WTF look I'm sure on my face, then I skip it for a couple of nights and then catch up and still have that WTF look on my face. I'm not sure exactly what is annoying about her.....I think its the fact that she mumbles when she talks, and for a teacher that is just death. LOL

Last I heard way back when was that they had invited her back for S5 but werent able to work out a deal with her $$$/episode wise.

But I love EBR, I don't even hate Felicity but EBR seems way cooler.

They are doing the same thing with Curtis whenever I see a clip of him lol. It's their way of showing how nerdy they are which = funny funny.

Seconded. Curtis was a nice addition in terms of his skills and how he was able to move the plot forward but the quirky humour, again, was OTT. Leave the funny stuff to Flash, Cisco is better at it anyway.

 

[Avenging Angel]

The best thing for this show is to phase out Felicity, keep Curtis, Dig and Lyla some of fetus Team Arrow, get rid of Dinah Drake, and delve more into Black Siren's story with Oliver. That's a season I'll look forward to. Arrow has had enough of drama. Season 6 should be the rebirth of great stories not rehashed ones. No one cares for Olicity, it's time to let it die and write off the Felicity with it.

But they might do the very opposite of that and bring back Olicity for Season 6, with flashbacks to Olicity from Seasons 3 and 4, while fighting Helicity as the big bad.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Felicity will be on this show until the day it ceases production. Arrow has always had an element of CW drama, that's one of the core concessions you have to make to really enjoy it and its always been that way.

Mumbling means nerdy? What?

Honestly I wish we could get rid of both Felicity and Curtis. The writers have been relying on the 'tech' side of things a bit too much for my tastes. I was surprised rewatching some of the early early Season 1 episodes, like the Deadshot ones where Oliver had to actually hit the streets and do detective work. Working out where the shots came from, climbing his way up buildings to try and find where they shot from, all that. Nowadays, Felicity (or Curtis) would just as soon as the shot happened, would instantly find out who it was, where they shot from, their name, address, everything. It's just too easy a solution most of the time.

I think we could do with a break from Diggle too honestly. I like him but I've just gotten bored by him lately. Let him retire and go off with Lyla and their kid, bring him in every once in awhile but keep him off the team. Honestly my ideal team would be small, Oliver, Thea, and Laurel. Well, I like Wild Dog now so we can keep him too. Lol. Agreed with the rest though.

 

[Paradox1]

Has anyone heard of multiple characters dying from the arrow producers?

 

[Osiris-Rex]

I suspect Felicity will be in the final scene in the final episode when they decide to wrap up the series. She might even be the only one. They could well do a finale scene where
she is writing her memoirs about her times with Green Arrow and be the only one in the scene. Or maybe Green Arrow was just a fanfic she was writing in her spare time.

 

[Grommers]

I'm probably the minority on these forums but I like EBR, I like felicity,

I don't like Love stories that feel forced because they have a 23 episode season, they tried forcing it in S1 & 2, and everyone hated Laurel, so they saw a chance for some chemistry with Felicity and Ollie, so they went with that, and now have butchered that.

There's nothing wrong with Felcitys' character when its not focused around the romantic aspect, much like Laurel became much more likeable when they stepped away from that as well.

It reminds me of how the DCAU handled wonder woman and batman's relationship, you know there was feelings, but it never felt, "UGH", and both characters remained badass.

 

[shabadoo25]

Yeah, I like Felicity a lot and I liked the guest appearances with her Mom. I like Olicity, too.

She may be in the final scene, but I doubt it'll be her memoirs. What I'm hoping is that the series will end with an Oliver narration. Remember how he used to narrate the Arrowcave scenes in the first part of S1? I'd like the show to wrap up like that. It'd be sort of poetic. He narrated the start of his journey, and now he narrates the end.

 

[Syncos]

Yeah, I like Felicity a lot and I liked the guest appearances with her Mom. I like Olicity, too.

I honestly feel like even with all of the mistakes this show has made, that the absolute worst one, was Donna Smoak.

The first episode she was in was ok, as it gave additional depth to Felicity. Understanding her relationship with her mother.

The problem was that they made her a semi-regular, which meant they started building HER character instead of helping to support Felicity's character. It's absurd.

Yeah, Donna's appearances in S3 were okay. Her S4 ones were the ones that became problematic.

[Slick]

That's dope lol. Can't wait for the episode.

 

[DawnWarrior]

With the flashback adventures wrapping up, I'm thinking about going back and watching the whole thing in chronological order. That might be easier with the DVDs.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Maybe someone will take the time to compile all the flash backs together.
