Arrow Season 5: 8 Things That Must Happen Next
5. Felicity Should Ease Up On The Quips
Well here's an argument I never thought I'd be making. Whatever you think of her relationship with Oliver, we can all agree that seasons 1 and 2 Felicity was adorable, and it's such a relief to see her back to her old self in season 5. But she just lost her boyfriend.
Not taking in to account the fact that Billy's death was a brilliantly executed move by Prometheus, if it turns out to be just a plot device and nothing more than that, then we're back to seasons 3 and 4 as far as writing goes.
There's also the fact that Felicity went home alone the night of Billy's death, while Oliver had a smashing night with Susan Williams (which is season 3 writing if ever I've seen it). Oliver and the team have to be there for Felicity while she grieves (especially after what happened with Susan), and if that means that someone else has to make the quips for a few episodes, then that's what that means.
