The second episode of the Arrow’s 4th season was
not as gratifying as the season premiere for this Olicity fan but it had some
moments.
For starters, Oliver Queen has established himself as the
best boyfriend on TV. He has surpassed Pacey Witter as my go to reference for
awesome boyfriends because buying a first-day-as-big-boss-fern and packing a home
cooked lunch for his girlfriend after the night of fighting crime and saving
the city trumps any blank wall in every universe. Oliver Queen is da bomb but
Felicity Smoak is also da bomb and she deserves nothing less than this level of
devotion. Together, they are da ultimate bomb that make our TVs combust every Wednesday
night and I couldn’t be happier because this is everything I wanted them to be
since I first laid eyes on them.
Oliver Queen also can’t stop telling people that Felicity
Smoak is his girlfriend and sugar mama and we love him all the more for that. I
mean how many alpha males you see on TV who are so secure in their masculinity
that they are totally fine with living off of the largess of their generous
girlfriends? Hardly any, so Oliver Queen is a trail blazer in that regard too. Because
he was born rich and he still has absolutely shitty money sense and spent a
chunk on buying a truck for the baddie of the week’s finger prints. We forgive
his bad money sense because he is proving to be absolutely the bestest of the boyfriends
– in both real and fictional world.
Everything that has anything to do with Oliver &
Felicity as a couple and individuals was spot on in this episode. Their
characters saw growth individually and as a couple. The writers have done them
justice so far but it would be good to see at least one scene which is not rushed
and where they get a bit of room to breathe and say more than 3 sentences to
each other. Cuddling on their many couches in the loft with a glass of wine would
be most appreciated.
Apart from Olicity, there were many things that made no
sense. Team not Arrow was still giving Oliver attitude when they begged him to
come back and it was obvious they were kind of useless without him and Felicity.
What’s absolutely unforgiveable was John Diggle snubbing Felicity Smoak when
she wanted to high five him after a successful mission. WHOSE DOES THAT TO A
CUPCAKE LIKE FELICITY SMOAK WHO HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT KIND AND LOVING TO HIM SO
FAR! WHAT THE FUCK WRITERS.
Laurel continues to be the most selfish and worst person around.
There is a reason Oliver never told her anything and he was proven correct because
the minute she found out about Thea’s resurrection, she got the idea to use an emotionally
vulnerable girls for her plans to resurrect Sara Lance. Considering there was
no love lost between the two sisters when SL was alive, she probably was only
doing it to compete with Oliver. Hey, if Ollie can resurrect his sister, why
can’t I. I am also a vigilante and wear leather. Great logic Laurel, it sucks
like everything else you do.
Quentin Lance was not doing his job as always and asked
Oliver to do it and when he did it, he remained the ungrateful bastard that he has
always been and told him that he would be slapping him with murder charges if
the bad guy had died. Again, why do these Lances do exists?
Not the best of the episodes but it was saved by some decent
action sequences between Oliver Queen and Anarky and the absolute perfection
that Oliver and Felicity has been. Just gimme more of these two please.
My wishlist for next season include Oliver and Canary being taken in by some bad villain and Nyssa and Felicity Smoak team up to get their loved ones back. That would be perfection. Nyssa is all hard angles and Felicity is this cuddly angel and together they are a lethal combination.
I also want Nyssa to flirt with her and Oliver blowing his casket because that is what he does when Felicity flirts with anyone.
Here is the latest chapter of my Olicity Fanfic ‘Be Mine’.
“For past few months, you are acting so out of character that if I had not known you better, I would have called doctors. You hover – literally hover – around Felicity. Oliver Queen never hovered around anyone – least of all a girl – before. You escort her to her car every day and linger, you make sure that no one ever sit next to her but you, you touch at any given excuse, ply her with expensive wine and make me use words like hover and linger which I am sure I have never used before. Most of all, you glower every time the name Daniel is mentioned. For all I know, you probably tail her whenever she goes out with him,” when Oliver bit his lips at that, Tommy blinked his eyes.
“Shit! You followed a girl on her dates! Apocalypse is here and now,” Tommy could not believe that it actually happened.
