Ahhh! I just watched the season 5 premiere of The Rookie!

I saw everyone freaking out about Tim and Lucy, rightfully so, but the episode itself was amazing. I am genuinely excited for the rest of the season.

Also, Lucy looked amazing that whole episode. Tim never stood a chance. And I seriously loved that he told her she was good undercover 😍

THEYRE SETTING UP FOR A PAINFUL NIC EXIT I ALREADY KNOW IT

The ease between oliver and felicity in the beginning of the season might make sense, if we think that felicity was swimming in this illusion that things between her and oliver were settled – or rather, very over. Like, maybe she was compartmentalizing hard. After sleeping with him in the summer, she said ‘we should talk but I cant talk right now’ and then she kept putting it off indefinitely, because it was easier. Because the thought of talking to him about their personal lives gave her super anxiety or whatever (im going with what I know here. I too avoid shit that makes me anxious and I almost always used to do it without realizing it, making excuses that I thought were reasons.)

Ps: tolololol oliver on that wall – lit from behind, like a wannabe batman.

obviously i know its very unlikely that the show will actually pursue this arc but honestly - as much as i want Athena’s attacker to pay - i really liked how the show appeared to be exploring Athena’s less-than-stellar conduct bc its unheard of for a show to treat police brutality as systematic rather than fringe officers, and i thought it was rly brave of the show to use one of their main characters

now im just disappointed we’re never going to see that properly explored bc obviously with everything else going on in this arc its highly unlikely we’re going to revisit police brutality

HONESTLY Lena's feelings towards Kara are more than warranted I obviously get that the show dragged it out for suspense but Kara has had so many opportunities to tell Lena the truth, and so many people found out before Lena -- and I know Kara's tried and its made out to look like it's about Lena's trust issues, but honestly: its more about Kara not wanting to face the fact that she has betrayed Lena's trust. My heart genuinely goes out for Lena i feel so bad for her

All right, well, you-- you need to go do something.

Well, that was-- that was going to be my line to you.

For the first time in a--a long time, I'm really starting to feel like myself again. I'm not a killer. I'm--I'm--I'm not a vigilante. I am-- I am a normal version of me. And I think just after everything that happened with Laurel, I-- I really needed to know that life like this was even possible, and now that I do, I-- I don't want to give it up.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I--I get where you're coming from. I do. I lost my job, I lost my-- I lost my daughter, I lost my girl, and, you know, I just wanted to hit pause on the world, you know?

Yeah.

But then I, uh-- you know what, I listened to Oliver's speech. You know, that's when I realized that I-- I can't do that. I can't hit pause on the world. I got to get on with my life, you know? Even if that life isn't what I want it to be.

Thea doesn’t want to hit pause on her life. thea doesn’t want THAT life. she doesn’t want the violence. Her REAL ME is not fighting, is not speedy. She wants to be Thea. She has chosen Thea and she has realized that being Speedy hinders that, so she dropped it. She doesn’t want to mesh the two together, because she doesn’t like who she is and the choices she makes when she is in the suit. She KNOWS that she can have a worthy happy life as only herself – she is realizing it slowly working for Oliver. She likes herself this way. Thea is actually making smart choices here.

the problem is that she isnt dealing with the deeper reasons why. she , like felicity, thinks that if she can just turn the page, all the shit that led her there will dissapear, but it won’t. it will keep getting in her way and maybe that’s what leads her later on in the season, into the belief that she is broken. because she didnt deal with her shit, she just shoved it away.

You know, Thea, you told me that the dead don't want anything. Now, I could have killed Damien Darhk before that night at Iron Heights. I had multiple chances to do so, and I didn't, because I thought that taking the high road was more important than saving lives, and that is a mistake that I will never, ever make again.

I wouldn't call not killing people a mistake, Ollie—

I would, because when I did take Darhk down for good, I had to confront the fact that Malcolm Merlyn was right. Either I'm willing to do whatever is necessary, or I shouldn't be out there at all.

This is actually a Leagy philosophy, so to speak. It wasn’t Merlyn that told this to oliver first, but nyssa, a second after she snapped Isabel Rochev’s neck after oliver and sara hesitated to do so.

The premise of this whole thing is flimsy tbh. What makes oliver think that if that dude who kidnapped him wouldn’t kill those people after the Mayor escaped. Why didn’t he, even? What was stopping him. the most important person there was the mayor and he was gone by the time Church turned around.

Or maybe he realized that someone broke him out – and was waiting for the Arrow. to show up again. (I am NOT calling him the GREEN arrow. Its ridiculous. I am not calling STARLING , it sounds like a cartoon and im pretending these people actually live ther. Only Tourists call starling Star Citye.)

i am also ignoring the administrative stuff because even without being an expert on how an administration works etc, i already know that Arrow fucked that up.
