ArrowJust Rocked Felicity Smoak’s World Again, and She Has No Idea

Felicity Smoak ’s year is about to get speculative , and she does n’t even have sex it . The latest episode logistically , emotionally , and narratively made not one single salt lick of sense … until the very goal . That ’s not of necessity a bad thing .

This mean that he and Felicity do fight online in a tale that take the kind of liberties with information processing system skill that should make computer science ’s honest-to-god brother to challenge it to a duel . The two are evenly matched , and they establish a form of bantering rapport during their on-line fight , but it ’s weird there ’s so much focus on them . That is , until Felicity gives a wonderful demonstration at work , with the Calculator in attendance . Then this happens :

Well - played , Arrow , my old friend . Well - played indeed .
