#olicityforever

So as I said, I want to start doing my own personal Rant or POV of the episodes. I might even do some on my favorite old episodes. But before I get off topic.....

The beginning started off great 👍🏻 it had the action and butt kicking elements the men are always complaining vanished from the show. I liked the male element of Oliver fighting with Dig, Rene and Curtis. It was awesome seeing them work together the way they did.

We start off another season with a bad guy trying to destroy Star City. That wasn't a big shocker.

I was beyond excited to see Felicity. I knew she wasn't going to die but it's the relief when you actually see her.

Now on Twitter they are having a huge discussion about their disappointment about Felicity and how that she was bringing the men food instead of being down there to help them.... I don't see the big deal. Since season one Dig was bringing them food. No one complained about that. Besides she said she was trying to get her mom back on a plane!

I loved the moment when the guys all said they were leaving, like they knew Oliver and Felicity needed alone time, like in 5x21.

I was sad that they were still so awkward with each other especially since they have been back home for five months. I get that they were trying to give William time to adjust to the new surroundings and Oliver and Felicity don't have the best communication skills when it came to William in the past. But I was still disappointed with that whole scene. I loved that Felicity is back to her old babbling ways. That's my favorite part of her character. And you can tell she regretted turning down Oliver after he walked away. The whole promise thing between them was cute too. I hope the writers fix all the awkwardness soon though.

Other things that seemed to have changed. Dinah got promoted.... Lance looks like he is about to fall of the wagon soon. And the creepy guy keeps asking for a carbonated drink. My first reaction would be telling the creepy guy No. give him water! That was their first mistake.

This episode has a lot of shooting and explosions early in.

I still cringe when I see Black Siren. I have a lot of personal feelings towards Laurel Lance but I don't want to go on a rant about her here.

I feel bad for those poor cops. Nine dead, Six critically injured and four injured.

On Island Flashbacks we now know Slade is alive. Samantha was alive for a few seconds to make sure William was ok. And to make Oliver promised to be his parent. He promises her and she dies in his arms. Thea is....IDK. She looked dead on the island but later is shown to be in Acoma. We know she isn't going to die. She is a big part of the Season 6 theme. She is Oliver's only family aside from William that's still alive since the beginning.

I want to like William especially if we are going to be seeing more of him from now on but I was getting a little aggravated with him. And I felt so bad for Oliver when he told Oliver that he was the bad man from his nightmares. The reason why his mom was no longer alive. But in the end when Ollie put his foot down and reassured him that he wasn't going anywhere and that he was always going to be his father, you see William relax a little. I love how they will be able to bond over baseball. It's not an Oliver thing really. Oliver has never talked about like sports like that, but Stephen Amell loves baseball. So it's cool seeing him put something of himself into Oliver.

I am worried about Diggle. He is off and it shows he got hurt in that blast on the island. I hope he can overcome whatever fears he has because they need him. He is the one that always had Oliver's back. He won't be much use if he can't protect himself or anyone else.

Also can I just say Dinah and Diggle.... I have no idea what's going on with the two of them. They have some kind of Chemistry but Dig has a family and he has a solid storyline with Lyla. I wanted them to work out. They can fix Dinah up with Rene!

So Slade is leaving again for now. I liked the talk he had with Oliver! He said "Be patient But be prepared to choose between being the man people need you to be, or the father your son needs you to be!" Very wise words! So we have our theme for Season 6 right there! And to make it even more so, we have the last 60 seconds when the news lady outs Mayor Queen as the Green Arrow because they have a picture of him in the GA costume. - don't know how he is going to get out of that one.

Overall I give this episode 4 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I would have loved to give it all 5 but I had some issues. I don't watch the show for Olicity only. But they are a very big part of it! I love Felicity, she is my favorite person on the show. And they showed her for five minutes maybe less. I just don't like how they started out the season not utilizing her as much as they have in the past. I hope they fix this soon!

I loved the scene with Oliver and Rene. He got him another hearing to get his daughter back. I hope he doesn't screw it up.

Three questions for the next couple of episodes....

Who was that guy that came and got Black Siren from the island after Lance shot her?

What does she want with Curtis' invention?

How is Oliver going to get out of this latest jam?
