The biggest thing that stuck out to me in arrow 5x15 is that scene where Oliver was in the hospital and the doctor ‘prescribed him a girlfriend’. He called Susan and she didn’t answer. They were fighting and she knew he was in an accident and in the hospital and she still wouldn’t answer his call. She’s not there for him when he needs her to be. But replace Susan with Felicity in this situation and she would have already been on her way when he called. I can’t help but think there is a point to this scene beyond just Susan. I think they are showing us all the reasons that Felicity is perfect for Oliver, and therefore showing him. When Felicity finally gives him a sign that the door is open he’ll run through it. I still have faith in them. I think he needed to see all the reasons they worked so well beyond the pure love of it all and I think Felicity needed to better understand the weight that Oliver struggles with and why he has such a struggle with it.
Agreed @turtlejustice there is a point to this scene!
I need more posts like this for reassurance and as a reminder that things aren’t always what they seem.
This show can have Susan tell Oliver she cares about him until she’s blue in the face and I will never fucking buy it. Ever. Snoozles doesn’t give a shit about Oliver, and it SHOWS. She immediately blamed him for her getting fired when he had nothing to do with it. She ignored him and refused to talk to him, so he could never explain his side of things. Then she ignored a phone call from him after he was in a fucking car crash.
I don’t care what Arrow SAYS or what Snoozles SAYS. All they SHOW ME is a woman who cares more about a big career story than the man she’s dating. And at some point Oliver needs to wake up and see this, because he’s putting way more effort into this relationship than she is and WAY more than she actually deserves.
