WOW, WHAT A GREAT WEEK IT'S BEEN FOR KILLING LADIES SO DUDES COULD HAVE MAN-PAIN, AM I RIGHT? DAMN, FRIDGING THOSE BITCHES JUST NEVER GOES OUT OF STYLE.

Felicity making the call on bringing in Barry and the subsequent argument with Oliver was delightful.

I can't fucking believe how they decided to kill Shado. Like, it's fucking beyond the pale. It's fridging with an added dose of asian woman<white woman, all so Oliver can be more tormented. And Slade. Don't you love it when they fridge a woman so two different dudes can be tormented. (This episode started so delightful and then it did make such horrible storytelling choices.)

And like, I keep remembering Sara's question about Slade AND SHADO, like she didn't know what happened to them.... Am I an idiot for hoping that SOMEHOW Shado comes back to life?

I did enjoy seeing Shado and Slade in good lightning, thought. And Slade in a suit and eyepatch was great. IMAGINE HOW GREAT IT WOULD BE IF SHADO WAS ALIVE AND MAKING OUT WITH SLADE ON THAT DESK, HOW GREAT WOULD THAT BE?

God, I couldn't even enjoy a little bit Slade screaming Shado's name, rushing to save Shado, and then clutching her dead body. I WANTED A LITTLE VICIOUS JAB OF PLEASURE, BUT SHADO'S DEATH WAS SO FUCKING TIED WITH OLIVER AND HIS STUPID HAIR AND HIS STUPID MAN-PAIN THAT I COULDN'T.

...and then they killed the ONE FUCKING FEMALE COP on the police squad. REALLY? REALLY?

...and then the black cop died in an extended way.

I think Barry might be ENORMOUSLY BISEXUAL. And you know me, when I am saying that...

That said, I really enjoyed the sort-of backdoor pilot for Flash. Do we have a date on when that show is starting?

So, yeah. Selected parts of this episode were really cute and made me want more, parts made me want to slap the writers.

Yeah, I WANT Shado to be alive and coming back, but she’s a girl, so part of me really expects her to stay dead, and thinks that Sara’s line was the writers flubbing up. (I have a theory, based on what interviews said about Shado and Slade versus what happened, that how and which episode Shado died in was a last minute decision.)

That Felicity has always told Oliver the truth and truths he doesn’t want to admit/acknowledge is one of the reasons that I ship them, and I’m really glad that even though the writers are putting more emphis on that ship, they’re showing that Felicity has a spine of steel.
