There were so many great scenes in this episode so it's hard to choose only one. My first pick is Donna meets Oliver and Diggle at Verdant. That scene has got to be my favorite scene of the season so far. Everyones facial expression at meeting Mama Smoak was comedy gold and I loved every minute of it XD My second pick is Felicity taking down Cooper. It was just all kinds of badass and was such a heroic moment for her.
ReplyDeleteHonorable mention: Oliver tells Felicity that he's glad she's had the experiences she's had because they made her into the person she is today.
What a magnificent episode all around!
Felicity takes down Cooper
ReplyDeleteDonna comes in to say goodbye and Felicity tells Ray she needs a sick day
And opening fighting sequence
I feel like the scene between Donna & Felicity at the office when they have their open talk was superb. I had personally never heard of Charlotte Ross but I absolutely loved her, and for me she really sold it (being Felicity's mom and feeling inferior all those years etc).
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say EBR's acting in this scene was purely fantastic. Her crying was so real and believable and the way her voice gradually got stronger and angrier...She killed it ! I actually cried when she said that she felt like a disappointment to her mother. I mean I love Emily's acting in general but that scene ... a perfect 10!
Also,anyone else LOVED the dialogue in that scene? It felt real and rough and "naked" to me. Sometimes for me I find that the dialogue tends to be a little melodramatic (like do people actually say some of those things in real life...?) but I REALLY loved the dialogue here.Extra points!
There were too many great scenes in this one. I picked Donna meeting Oliver and Digg at Verdant. That was so much fun. I loved the QC scene where Donna and Felicity lash out at each other. It was such an emotional scene. Three cheers to Charlotte Ross. Then there was Felicity taking down Cooper Seldon. Go Girl!! And the final scene between Donna and Felicity at QC. All in all Smoak ladies shined in this episode.
ReplyDeleteMy favorites were Felicity taking down Cooper and Oliver's and Felicity's talk at the end, when he told her he's glad she went through what she has because it made her the person she is today, and she knows how he feels about her. Too sweet. And Felicity kicking that guys ass was a thing of beauty. Mama Smoak was awesome, too, of course. I really liked that emotional scene with Felicity when she brought up Felicity's father...wonder who he is and where he went, and when we'll find out? Intrigued.
ReplyDelete1) Other: Oliver, Diggle and Felicity chat about Sara in the cave: "Who is she going to tell?"
ReplyDelete2) Donna meets Oliver and Diggle at Verdant
3) Felcity and Oliver have a chat about old lovers and loving your family no matter what
Honorary mention: The training sequences at the beginning. Loved it! and Thea and Oliver, when Oliver finds out about Malcoms money.
cringe worthy scenes for me:
1) Shooting arrows at the pc screen... WHAT was that?
2) Laurels boxing technique - those arms, if it was on purpose then this goes off my list
3) The Arrow beeing faster then the automatic gunmachines - and it was obvious he was slower. Worst stunt/action sequence on Arrow for me so far.
4) I was able to overlook the week plot, only because I love Felicity so much.
I would love to see a meme with: You got Smoaked and the faces of Ray, Diggle and Oliver....
ReplyDeleteSo I think I made some good picks this week, especially since the best stuff mostly had to do with Felicity in some way
ReplyDeleteI can't decide. There were too many. Just totally stymied. (I really liked this episode.)
ReplyDeleteThe verdant scene with Donna is my favorite,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed a lot of scenes, I was glad that Felicity saved herself and the ending with Roy's Dream I was just WTF !
All of my favorite scenes are the top three. Hahahahah Glad i wasn't alone.
ReplyDeleteThey are already the top three so no need to mention them but there's a fourth scene that I have to mention "Donna comes in to say goodbye" that scene was a masterpiece it was very well acted by both EBR and CR and it made me cry, I was so glad that they made up and that Donna's visit ended on a high note and Felicity repaired her relationship with her mother, one of the things I love most about Arrow is how they portray the family bond, yeah you can fight with your family members, be angry at each other BUT you never stop loving them, it's why I love the team arrow dynamic so much because to me they are more than partners, they are a family, it's why I love Oliver and Thea's relationship (although atm I'm so mad at Thea) and Quentin's relationship with his daughters (I'm dreading watching the scene when he finally finds out about Sara I'm not sure I can handle it) and even Moira because despite everything she did, she always loved her family.
