The Felicity Smoak Problem

[redbrunja]

Jennifer Crusie speaks the truth about why Felicity/Oliver is AWESOME and also what makes opposites-attract relationships work. I knew that Felicity’s role was unplanned but I did not know HOW UNPLANNED. Learning that the first smile that Oliver gives Felicity was because Stephan Amnell just couldn’t keep a straight face – and then they kept that in the show - fills me with unholy delight.

Also, oh my god, in Faking It Eve was originally the romantic lead opposite Davy Dempsey. I CAN'T EVEN.

I mean, for god's sake, the actor playing her father has more chemistry with Stephen Amell than she does and it's not like his part is that much better written.

This is true.

(Have you actually finished season one, btw? Or are you still tumblr watching?)

I think I'm on, like, episode 18?
