Felicity is trussed up like a Christmas goose behind her desk…and she is wearing panda shoes. That is really what this episode was about. It had nothing to do with comic book characters or fighting crime, it was about stylish women’s footwear.

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of heavy breathing…and I don’t mean the kind you hear on prank phone calls. No sir, that sound is me trying to catch my breath after an explosive episode of Arrow. Talk about crazy, I’m like Kristen Stewart…unable to close my mouth!

I knew that adding Felicity to the regular line-up was going to be a good time and it was. Her character added some lightness to the heaviness of Diggle and Oliver’s relationship as she tends to poke fun at both of them at times. I hope the writers avoid is the use of her as a tool, either in the story-telling manner or as an object for Oliver’s mission.

This week’s Arrow was a cleverly-disguised springboard for a tremendous amount of action on the character-development front. I was initially all excited about the part where Felicity finds a bleeding Oliver in her car, takes him to the lair where she and Diggs patch him up and maybe she becomes part of the team.
