I read 2 articles this weekend about Arrow, both of which I thought were good... also kind of illustrate the reasons I like the show...
- Oliver and Felicity's Relationship on Arrow Finally Makes Sense to Me (io9)
- How "Arrow" hit the jackpot with Original Team Arrow (moviepilot)
Now the former really kind of highlights some things I've thought about Felicity but hadn't been able to crystallize into a cohesive thought... however the article does a fantastic job of it... and none of it was surprising to me, like think about it... she's a genius, she joined the gang and had no objections other than moral ones, meaning no social objections... and we've not heard or seen any friends outside of the OTA associates... so that means she's a loner, she's got no pressing social life or friends that would be a reason not to join... so not surprising, also the old/new felicity has enough bearing to what I can relate to that I do enjoy that dynamic, hallucinatory as it may have been...
Also I'm thinking I'm going to the movies today, Room is playing at Cinemark, which is so much better than the waterfront...
