I've said it before, I was a huge fan of Felicity Smoak for the first two seasons but the so called "Olicity" has taken over this show, and in my opinion destroyed it with the soap opera bullshit. It is really obvious, especially in regards to the last two episodes before this one, that this is the "Felicity Smoak Show", with Green Arrow as a supporting character and not the Green Arrow show, the comic book character really deserves. They threat Oliver like he is nothing without Felicity (I wouldn't call 75 years of comic book history as nothing), like she is the reason for every good thing he does, basically they made him her bitch. THIS IS NOT GREEN ARROW!!! And now they killed off Laurel, the freaking Black Canary, from a Green Arrow show!!! Just because people expected that she and Oliver would get back together like in the comics, I guess it was an obstacle for the "Olicity" fandom. Marc Guggenheim said that putting Laurel in the grave was the best choice creatively...that is SHITTY writing...she just became BC last season and the character had just started getting evolved. From a writer's point of view, it doesn't make any sense, she is the second BC to be killed by a villain, Quentin has basically already gone through this experience twice, so the writers just repeat themselves over and over again. Where are they going with this?? The only logical explanation I can find is because they want to focus just on the stupid "Olicity", without fans asking for BC and GA to get together. For the most part this season, Laurel had been significantly underused and now they killed her off. The same was with Roy (the MOST significant supporting character of GA in the comics) last season, up until they got rid of him too. Two significant but really underused characters were written off the show...such a pity! Who was the main focus of the last couple of seasons of the show? You guessed it, Felicity Smoak...This show had so much potential and even the start of this season seemed to be on a good track but no...they had to mess everything up.

I am sorry for the rant but I guess I wanted to get it off my chest.

I am done with Arrow, I am not even going to watch this episode tonight...Thank God for Flash and LoT!!!
