ok... quick question... what was the recent episode number... 16, right?
Spanish tv is saying 15, but i am sure i have seen it already....

15 episodes have aired so far

Thanks lads...

Comic book shows need to stop toying with my emotions...

I've never been invested in the romantic endeavours of the characters in any of the Arrow-verse shows, but Olicity are breaking my heart this week!

Did laugh when Felicity said Ollie spent 5 years on that island alone, yet I think he's probably met more people on that island than he's met since coming back

I'm having a hard time liking Felicity in this. I'm surprised Thea isn't taking her to task on actually understanding couples have to accept each other's flaws too.

Valentine was fun but the court room drama bit was a bit dull. Did Darkh say a single word this episode?

agreed - Felicity is in the wrong on this. It isn't a danger Oli was keeping from her.

His choice was lie to Felicity and see his kid, or never see his kid. He, as Thea told him, made the right call, the only call he could make. For Felicity to punish him over it is cruel.

No he didn't. Not in my mind. The woman you shagged once and barely know imposes a ridiculous demand on you. You nod and smile and say "Absolutely. I'll tell nobody!"

You then go home and tell the love of your life everything and say "Keep it to yourself Felicity."

Frankly it was an unrealistically stupid decision that was written in for dramas sake.

Fair enough, its an argument, but having given his word to the mother that he would abide by her demand, I would have thought it odd had he immediately told Felicity. Thea only knew because she followed the money trail. Also, he didn't just smile and go along with it immediately - it was something he wrestled with. I thought they also explained why the mother wanted no one to know and why Oli/Thea understood her stance quite well - so in the logic presented in the show, I think Oli's actions are understandable and Felicity has been unreasonable and cold regarding it.

I had completely forgotten Emily Kinney was in The Flash last year, so i was totally confused by the start of it. But, that quickly passed when i knew i was going to be looking at Emily Kinney for the next 40 odd minutes!

Anyway, overall a good episode. Nice set up for next week! And at least the ending confirmed that they weren't going to replace Felicity with yer man, as it hinted towards that throughout!

One fairly big niggle though. When Canary screamed the bees out of Arrow (now that's my first time saying anything like that!), glass panels shattered, but the monitors on the Star Labs 8000, or whatever it was, didn't shatter, even though they were directly in the path of the shockwaves!

Didn't realise Curtis was so agile the way he did a flip over the table. Next thing you know he'll be jumping from the roof of buildings with the rest of them.

Gotta love how easily Brie confused the prison system as if no one knew who she was. Even looking at her record they should've realised a murderer wasn't eligible for release after about a year

Yeah that kinda threw me as well. Usually hackers are banned from using computers.

The whole season setting up laurel to die next week. she's getting loads of screen time loads of advice to people if you look back throughout the season it's been more air time for laurel plus the episode after next week is not official yet but rumours are saying the title of the episode will be the canarys cry. so quietly pointing towards the Lance family I'd say (hopefully not detective Lance)

I hope that's a theory and not a spoiler

While watching it on sky, afaik 2ep behind, i've tried to figure out what happened to Felicity, i haven't seen it explained why she's in the wheelchair, was it to with the devious Damien Darkhh?

Thanks.
