#arrow 5x03

As we all know Felicity is a precious badass cupcake! I figure it can’t hurt to look at the many acts of bravery she has performed because let’s face it - our girl rocks!

Arrow 5x01 - Felicity is Oliver’s ENTIRE team, despite the fact that she is STILL dealing with Havenrock

Arrow 5x02 - Felicity gives the most amazing pep talks - not going to lie this is one of my favourite Olicity scenes

5x03 - Felicity bravely told Rory the truth about Havenrock

5x04 - Felicity the leads the newbies while Oliver breaks John out of military prison. Felicity made it clear to Lyla and Oliver she did not agree with this plan.

I know I’m stretching here. The thing I loved best about Felicity in 5a was her quiet strength. It felt like she was hanging on by a thread. I thought EBR was AMAZING. It’s just kind of hard to show in gif form - but I remain so impressed with her awesomeness.

FELICITY SMOAK IS AMAZING.

Quick Thoughts

- First the gif above - Felicity gives Oliver SO MANY adoring looks in Season 5 - where did they go in Season 6????

- Yep, Rene STILL not doing a single thing to make me interested in giving him a chance.

- Poor Diggle in prison - did like his mind game remember Deadshot

- We see Susan Williams for the first time and I have to say while I’m still totally Team Thea - she really was just doing her job. 

- Adrian Chase made quite the entrance to the show storming into Mayor Handsome’s office

- I’m really glad we get to see Cody Rhodes again this year. I’m not a wrestling fan so I never heard tell of him until I saw him at Comic Con right before he was on Arrow and he won my heart - right now I like him more than like SA.

- I do love how Felicity supports Oliver! So many Olicity moments!! There have probably been more Olicity moments in the first three episodes of Season 5 then there were in ALL of Season 6.

- John giving up and wanting to stay in prison hurts

- Oliver apologizing to Rene -gag me.

- I love that Derek Sampson wants his team to be just as powerful as him

- Oliver walking out of the explosion - STILL SO COOL!

- Felicity is so proud of her man

- STILL love when Thea brings out her inner Moira

- I hurt SO MUCH. WHY didn’t we get an Olicity moment after this?!

- Lyla wants Oliver to bring John out of prison...interesting

- No shirtless Oliver :(

Season 5 tally- 1/3 episodes with shirtless Oliver.
