Arrow Arrow Season 5 Episode 9: "What We Leave Behind"

[Dark Raven]

Well if they could go back to the Felicity of season 1, as glimpsed in the flashback, it would be much better. She was far more tolerable back then when used more sparingly and not so in your face.

I really hope this is your attempt at an exaggerated impression of a crazy Olicity fan, as the idea of this being a serious post is hilarious to me.

I won't lie I like the romance pairing Olicity a 100 times better than the Laurel/Oliver pairing, but I'm not crazy like some Olicity fans are. I was very happy when Laurel died in season 4 as I never, ever liked her and found Laurel very, very annoying. I really hope she stays dead and at some point Sara becomes the Black Canary again, as I prefer that to her as White Canary.

Well, there's nothing wrong with holding a different opinion, but I do think you're probably in the minority here. From a certain POV I can understand some peoples' issues with Laurel but I think they're majorly overblown (especially the hate for her in S2 because her arc was supposed to put her through a crucible, and people just judge her way too harshly), and I definitely think she's a better female lead than Felicity. But like I said, you're entitled to your opinion and I also see a lot of Felicity fans' points, too (just, they were heavily outweighed by her flaws in S4). And I definitely think Sara was awesome as Canary in Arrow, but since they seem to be getting ready to introduce a new Black Canary this season I doubt Sara will be returning anytime soon (plus she's basically the lead in LOT).

Well I don't like Evelyn Sharp either to be honest I didn't like her when she was shown in season 4 and still don't. As I said, I never, ever liked Lurel not once in the show. I hated Laurel's character from the very start of Arrow. If enough of the Arrow fanbase demand Sara is brought back as Black Canary, it will happen.

I doubt that. They won't take her off LOT.

Just caught up with this, crazy stuff, Oliver killing Billy was harsh, and Laurel coming back at the end! Have loved this season so far.

Just curious though, what episode was it in season 1 where Ollie killed Prometheus' dad?

It wasn't in any of them. It is something that would have happened off-screen between episodes.

Ah okay, thought so as I couldn't recall any of the parts shown from season 1.

When Oliver killed Billy, my initial thought was that it was Thea who was in the costume, due to him speaking to her in her costume on a rooftop and telling her to stay behind, before going to confront Prometheus by himself. When Oliver told her to stay behind, I thought that it was going to be an important scene for some reason. I first thought Oliver would fall into a trap and that Thea would turn up and rescue him. When that did not happen and the scene ended with Oliver killing the fake Prometheus, my first thought was that Prometheus captured Thea after Oliver left her on the rooftop and put her in the costume. I was very happy and relieved in the end that it was not Thea in the costume, but doing something like that with Thea is something that is Prometheus would do.
