I'm not sure if anyone could replace her, but it's not out of the realm to have a new tech character show up. Or perhaps a DC mainstay pops up and gives mission help (cough... Oracle... cough). I'm just totally going into fantasy land there, but it's a nice idea. <br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing Oliver and Thea on Lian Yu, because I want Oliver to recognize that his sister doesn't need overt protection anymore. I want Thea to come into her own, and I would be pissed if they killed her off (despite the nagging feeling that they might do just that).<br /><br />Jabari, I agree it feels out of character for her to fake something like that, especially since we didn't get any indication that she was. My only worry is how compartmentalized she's been since letting Malcolm into her life. Her sudden turn around against him has me wondering where her true loyalties lie.<br /><br />That being said, I would be pretty pissed if she's faking it as well.Samantha M.

If she is I think the writers would clue the audience in on this. Also I would be very infuriated if she was faking it.Jabarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099602454625162015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-90168977724579748422015-02-15T02:01:57.748-05:002015-02-15T02:01:57.748-05:00If Thea was able to smell cyanide, she's one o...If Thea was able to smell cyanide, she's one of those rare individuals who can do so.<br /><br />I'm also looking forward to those training scenes on the island.<br />Couldn't Laurel join them so she gets to have better fighting skills?<br />She seems to get an upper hand in fighting her opponent only if they don't know that she's there.<br />Would be a shame to always see her being tossed like a rag doll.<br /><br />I wasn't happy with the Canaries fight scenes.<br />They weren't well executed.<br />Sara's fight scenes were always well choreographed and smoothly executed.<br /><br />Loved the Quentin/Laurel scene.<br />At last, the big bad secret is finally out; but not yet closed as far as Lance is concerned since he still have no idea on the how and who killed Sara.<br />If this reveal comes to pass, will this mean Thea will go nuclear with her Dad?PlatinumRosebudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11426871129709203669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-82460048607442107522015-02-14T12:28:06.504-05:002015-02-14T12:28:06.504-05:00Thea's reaction to Oliver's reveal was def...Thea's reaction to Oliver's reveal was definitely one of my favorite moments of the entire series! And about damn time!!! :D Can't wait to see the two of them on the Island!<br /><br />Canaries... very cool, but wish we could have had a bit more of Sara. Laurel's definitely coming into her own now.<br /><br />Seeing Quentin breaking down... heartbreaking! But also, about time!<br /><br />I was never an "Ollicity" fan, so no issues with what seems to be a final break (on Felicity's side at least)CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-19597594617269837232015-02-14T10:23:09.440-05:002015-02-14T10:23:09.440-05:00First time Felicity was on Lian Yu, she stepped on...First time Felicity was on Lian Yu, she stepped on the land mine. If Malcolm's fatherly advice is for Thea to get there as well, he is even more insane than we thought.

I feel like I've been waiting for years to see these scenes between the two of them. I felt cheated out of similar scenes between Oliver & Moira after "Seeing Red" last year(her death still hurts, which I guess was the point). Please, writers. Don't get rid of Thea anytime soon. <br /><br />I was a little pissed at Oliver for the way he was talking to everyone down in the Arrow-cave/lair/whatever, though I suppose we needed to see it so we could watch him come around at the end. And when it comes to Thea, I did understand him wanting to keep that side of his life away from her as much as possible, he just handled it poorly. <br /><br />Next week should be VERY interesting, Oliver & Thea on Lian Yu. Seriously, I can't express how excited I am to see Oliver & Thea together now that she knows about him. They've done such a great job setting her character up for this, it should be a lot of fun.
