I will create a new thread with the poll.

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Oh joy, so Oliver's out of commission for this episode. Convenient...

On the other hand, sometimes the episodes when he's out of commission are the flashback-centric episodes, so that's always a possibility for this one.

 

[Dark Raven]

ZZzzzzz. Felicity is being targeted. She's the main focus of the episode. Zzzz.

Wasn't Bug-Eyed Bandit from the Flash?

Who is the surprising ally? Is it Malcolm Merlyn (because it's a surprise he would be stupid enough to go there again?), or is it the gay tech guy?

 

[Jedi Arrow]

Curtis. The teaser indicates as much.

 

[Dark Raven]

I don't really watch the teasers.

 

[Adanu]

Another Felicity centered episode with a bad Flash villain? First episode of Arrow I'll skip entirely.

 

[zenith16]

I don't really watch the teasers.

you may have to see the episode though the supposed death stroke look alike that other were saying would show up and I could tell if it was him or not or his son grant and he was too blurry to tell, if he was ether a death stroke or his son. turned out to be this Robot thing bug eyed bandit sent after felicity .

so that's who oliver will be throwing down with

 

[DeadFan]

So I see this episode was written by Ben Olicity Sokolowksi. Who knows? Maybe he even ran some of his ideas past his friend and former colleague Jake Coburn, who pointed out that if you don't like Olicity you're a bozo. Indeed I have high hopes for this one

 

[Mike Murdock]

I keep reading that title as "Bacon of Hope."

 

[Dark Raven]

Well I'm sure Felicity will ham things up as usual.

 

[Arrowshieldfan]

This should be Curtis focus episode. Just because press release says otherwise. he is the one to save the day.

 

[SpideyVille]

Ironic how it's titled "Beacon of Hope" and it's a Felicity-centric episode.

 

[Dark Raven]

Ironic how it's titled "Beacon of Hope" and it's a Felicity-centric episode.

Beacon of despair?

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

This should be Curtis focus episode. Just because press release says otherwise. he is the one to save the day.

Reminds me of the Diggle-focused episode where all the promos where concerned with Felicity angst.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

I will create a new thread with the poll.

I've added a poll now.

 

[Mike Murdock]

I hope the episode isn't filled with trite bee puns.

 

[O'Haire]

Good lord, even when Felicity isn't around she's all they talk about.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Seriously? Felicity's arch nemesis is in risk of losing her legs as well? That's just lazy.

 

[Docker2.0]

Is it just me or does Felicity's mom looks like she does pawn?

 

[O'Haire]

This episode was even worse than last weeks.

 

[General Mike]

The guy on the Palmer Tech board, who was screaming Phil and said he was going to call 911 may have been the most wooden actor I've ever seen.

 

[Docker2.0]

The new guy was so freaking annoying! I swear CW has a formula for every single new person being on a team and they HAVE to be annoying!

 

[Primal Slayer]

I actually prefer this episode to last weeks. Brie could've been written way better, like A LOT better though.

It's a shame that they have to most likely be killing Laurel off just to finally be writing her at her best.

I still can't wrap my head around Felicity leaving the team and her not being about that life when she was the one who yearned for it at the beginning of the season.

 

[SpideyVille]

I liked ythis episode simply because they had better scenes outside of Felicity. That opening sparring session, why can't we see THAT Oliver more.

But yeah, the Bee puns were comically bad, although I'm a little hopeful that Felicity will be off the team for good, hopefully in a reduced role, where Curtis takes over. Although from the sounds of it, he doesn't want any part of the vigilante night life.

But yeah, considering the fact that Felicity was the one helping the team behind Oliver's back, it clearly shows how inconsistent the writing has been.

Oh, and don't even get me started in the fact that the election is apparently next week and Oliver is completely out of the running, and is basically giving in to the villain's wife.

And from the looks of it, Laurel gets killed in the cave. Still hoping it's a big curveball, and the real death is Andy, considering his heel turn, but next week may very well be my last episode, depending on how it ends, which is a real shame because Laurel had great moments tonight.
