To compare....
My thoughts on Arrow 4x09 (Dark Waters)
I don’t think I’m emotionally ready for this episode. Here we go anyway.
watch out for SPOILERS
Oh dear, first previously on scene is of the ring. We’re definitely in trouble
I feel bad in admitting that it makes me happy whenever Oliver teases campaign guy. He’s such a stick-in-the-mud that he kinda deserves it.
“She’s like a mini you” eheheheheheheheeh
Felicity saves the day!!! That’s bad! Darhk’s totally gonna learn it was her!
For two episodes we didn’t have to endure any island scenes and now they’re back. I’m just...i’m so disappointed. It’s gonna kill the tension of the episode by cutting back to this every time.
Andi’s the younger brother, right? Their interactions are so John’s-the-eldest.
I do not like how condescending Felicity is to her mother. Mum’s trying, Felicity, give her a break.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA mama smoake just happens upon the ring.
Upon further thought, I suppose hiding the ring in christmas decorations should have been a smart move, seeing as Felicity’s jewish and never would have looked there.
ehehehehehehehe trust mama smoake to stumble upon it.
Just shows it to Felicity like it’s NOT meant to be a surprise or anything.
Actually, that sounds exactly like Donna, to not be able to keep a secret. Felicity has to get it from somewhere, after all.
“we can take care of ourselves” NO YOU CAN’T LAUREL! STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT!
ugh. Now they’re in for it.
I suppose they’ve gotta start a war somehow.
I wish I’d never watched that stupid promo for this stupid episode. Literally all their choices here are leading to Damian Darhk coming in and F***ing everything up.
*deep breaths* I suppose it increases tension or whatever.
EXCEPT WHEN IT CUTS TO THAT DAMN ISLAND
Ah, so Malcolm Merlyn raises a monster in the hopes that it will destroy another monster.
Oliver’s “FELICITY STOP TALKING” face. AHAHAHAHAHA I can’t even deal.
“Never would have found it If I put it in a desert like straight people do” *sniggers*
ahahahahahahahasobsuglycries why is this episode so funny and yet so horrible at the same time.
I AM NOT ANGRY i just want to hit all the writers for this Olicity scene right now. I am so sick of panicky Felicity forcing these conversations on Oliver and expecting a bad outcome. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah. Darhk’s men. Right on time.
I totally forgot that Lance is acting double agent for Darhk and that’s the reason he’s just standing there all WTF instead of doing something.
IF Damian didn’t already know Oliver was the Green Arrow...
“Oliver we can take care of ourselves” says the one that wasn’t in the room to prove that point.
Actually you know what? I really feel sorry for the showrunners for having to continue with this Island sub plot. By now they would know how horribly boring it is and they’re forced to slip it in anyway, coz it’s too late to back out of it.
i still loathe it every time it comes on. But still.
“I’ll be back in a few minutes” says everyone that ever never makes it back okay on a mission ever.
HA I forgot that everyone doesn’t know Malcolm’s alive. HA
I don’t think I’ll ever stop admiring how evil Damian Darhk is. No, it’s not how evil Darhk is, it’s how the actor portrays it. It’s awesome.
Oliver’s more of a moron then I thought if he hasn’t worked out what’s going on here yet.
Maybe love has blinded him after all.
“I can’t afford to pit the league against HIVE”. What. An. Asshole.
These “I don’t know what I’d do if anything were to happen to you” always make me suspicious. always.
Aww what a beautiful, touching Olicity mo-OH HELLO ISLAND. SO GLAD YOU COULD POP IN AND RUIN THE MOMENT.
well at least it was brief.
Oh. look at that. The Black Canary Cry is useful for something after all.
WHO AM I KIDDING, THAT’S AWESOME.
YAY LAUREL STEPPING UP.
OH. MY. GOD. THAT’S MALCOLM MERLYN.
that’s so cool :D
Ah. Magic. How convenient.
Ah, I see everything wrapped up way too easy, as usual. Love it when that happens. NOT (now we’re in for it)
what happened to him?
’m not at all accepting John’s brother being a ghost just coz. Something else is up.
Okay...so good so far.....*teeth chattering*
THIS IS THE MOMENT. PLEASE DON’T INTERRUPT THIS, DAMIAN. GIVE US THIS MOMENT. PLEASE
this is making me so happy. I’m grinning so hard i’m almost lauughing. Like, I knew I was a big time Olicity shipper but still. Didn’t expect to react so strongly.
IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL.
Okay, time to go back to being utterly terrified for everyone’s safety.
Okay, the carol playing over the shooting is waaaay too distracting. stop that. I get the juxtaposing, I do. But please. anything else would have sufficed.
also, who is that random family that Darhk is evilly stalking up to?
Good thing the car is bullet proof though.
OH MY GOD. DAMIAN DARHK HAS A FAMILY.
huh. Guess he did have a daughter after all. Even if it’s not Felicity (I always knew it wasn’t gonna be Felicity, though. come on guys)
Um. Come on. Oliver was lying on Felicity as a shield the whole time the car was being shot at. If he didn’t get hit, how could she have. I don’t buy it. Sorry, writers.
I suppose he could have knocked her unconscious by flinging her to the ground like that. Probably hit her head quite hard.
Episode ended there though, no doubt sending Tumblr into a meltdown of angry Felicity fans, desperately hoping they haven’t just killed her off (STILL NOT BUYING IT)
