So Felicity dies, like everyone guessed in the season opener?

I hope not because that leaves Laurell as the best romantic interest for Oliver. Rather they go Thea if those two are the options.

No. She doesn't die. Pretty sure it is a massive fakeout. It will be someone else.

Biggest mistake they could make if it isn't a fake out.

Well, Barry wasn't that heartbroken about the death to the point he was late to the funeral. That's why I don't think is going to be Felicity. I think it's going to be Thea or Detective Lance. I think it's going to be the second one.

It has to be a fake out. I know two people off the bat that will stop watching if they pull such a thing. Her charater is too well liked to do something that stupid.

That character is way too popular to be killed off. But I'm not familiar with the comics so who knows.

I know it's not Felicity, but I hope it's not Thea. She kicks ass.

Too much to hope for that it's Laurel.

Yeah, Felicity won't be dying anytime before the series finale. I've always assumed they'll kill Felicity off in the series finale so Oliver can eventually fall in love with Laurel. That was before the Flash became a big success, I could see Felicity moving over to that show when Arrow finishes up.

Does anyone have a clue what they are doing with Diggle and his brother?

Wait. In an episode about gas chamber that the Jew gets away, only to be killed by some fascist fireing squad who's main goal is for the purification of the city?

Man, Arrow. You're treading that Nazi route too much.

It didn't really seem like Oliver and the gang were prepared for Damian's attack at all. Let's all go to a party and forget we just outed the city's most ruthless villain on television.

McDonough has been great as Dahrk. Curious to see how they integrate him in Flash and Legends of Tomorrow. I think it's cool with him as the season long villain for all 3 shows.

And not to beat a dead horse, yes no way Felicity is dead. Most likely it's either Diggle or Detective Lance.

It was careless, they just keep saying they can take care of themselves. Not really against a telekinetic vampire with an army. If the Arrow called him out it would be different since he does not know who he is.

Oliver doing so without a WORKING plan is just foolish. Make sure to have power if you call out someone like that.

I really like how both The Flash and Arrow now seem to have a running joke where people just walk into their secret lairs over and over. Always with some version of "Wow anyone can just walk in here"..

oh and nice line delivery when the detective asked where the bad guy got an encrypted phone that can call Damien Darhk and it's just "I'm Ra's al Ghul!". As if it was the stupidest question he had ever heard.

anyways, decent ep and as others have suggested, there is no way they kill off Felicity but "pew pew" is a classic tv cliff hanger. It was either that or smash a truck into the limo and/or drive the limo off a pier and into the bay some how.

I was surprised they were surprised since he showed up twice in the crossover ...

I am starting to find Felicity's mom much hotter than Felicity.

Felicity's mom does add life to the show since most every other character is either an immortal, superhero, or alcoholic. Some are all three.
