Review Arrow 519: Felicity Smoak vs Oliver Queen

Image
  Just a note:  I live in Arizona, and the Sawmill fire has taken out the transponder of the CW station, so not even Dish or Direct TV  can get the station in our area.  Please keep the firefighters  in prayer. Our sky looks cloudy but it is the smoke from the fire.  There are high winds today so prayers are needed.  Anyway, I can only watch the CW app, which comes out the next day.  Sorry  for my review being late.  Oliver and Felicity : This episode broke my heart, because Felicity and Oliver are at odds with  each  other. The paradox is though they are fighting the same enemies, they have different ways to  go  about it.  What is so so heart-wrenching is that you can not only see the  love they have for each other but you can feel it.  After Felicity announces that Helix can get information on Chase, Oliver, Diggle, and Lyla tell her she can't do it this way.  Diggle asks  her if she ...

Oliver Fights to Stop Felicity

  Oliver will stop at nothing to keep Felicity from doing whatever Helix wants her to do in exchange for stopping Adrian Chase.  Felicity has one singular mission and that is to get Chase and stop him from hurting any more people, but most especially from hurting Oliver.  When Oliver hurts, Felicity hurts.  In Season 4 Oliver told Felicity that he didn't want to let her go, and from what he know that's coming in episode 20, they both didn't want to let go.  That's why they barely touched each other all this season, because they both new one touch, and it was all over.  Felicity loves Oliver, and she is going to know how much he loves her in this episode. I am in many ways more excited about this episode than am about episode 20.  Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to it, but this one is just as important.   Here are a couple of videos that I found to show how connected they truly are.  Enjoy.

Challenges for Oliver and Felicity in Dangerous Liaisons

                      In Dangerous Liaisons, Oliver, as we can see from the spoiler photo, still can't put on this Arrow suit.  He wears what he wore when he first came back from Ivy Town.  Remember he said he was happy, and he didn't want to suit up again, but out of his love for Felicity he came back.  He realized, with Felicity's help, that he could still do some good, so he put on his new suit that I am thinking Cisco designed for him.  So, here he is at the end of Season 5, still questioning his identity.  He can't bring himself to put on the Arrow suit, because there is still a part of him that believes when he does, he gets pulled in to the darkness.  Notice too, no arrows but a gun. When he suits up with his Arrows this time, it will be  because he will do it for himself.  He will believe in what he's doing, and I also think it will be because he will need to rescue Felicity. ...

Oliver and Felicity at Odds

Image
   The next episode of Arrow is the penultimate episode that marks the rush towards the end of the season.  These are often the most exciting episodes of the season, and this one looks no different.  Oliver and Felicity have kept a cordial coolness towards each other.  We have seen glimmers of  hope between them: a look here, a touch there, but there is an edge to their relationship.   Felicity is clearly upset over what Chase has done to Oliver, and she is determined to bring Chase down by any means she can using Helix.  Helix willingly  let her, but now will ask something very illegal and dangerous of her.  Oliver asks her not to do this, and Felicity challenges him by saying, "You'll have to stop me." I am pretty sure that Oliver will stop her, and that at the end of the episode we will find them ready  to face the demons they  both  have held inside. It's an interesting dynamic to have these two face off like ...
