Hey Shona!
I used to yap in the CW forum ages back with few friends but never really hung out much here so yeah I'm new here as much as you are
Coming back to the episode, I think it was a complete package. You get drama, romance, action, comedy you name it. After watching The Flash premier I was quite nervous and excited for Arrow since the hype was sky high. Man it was totally worth the wait
Firstly Olicity was the major plus factor that made me smile like a silly fan girl throughout the episode. They did not push it nor made it OTT and kept it subtle instead. I don't mind the whole on/off/pause thing which is going to happen with their relationship if you know what I mean
Now Ray Palmer is the man! I love the guy. He's full of life and lights up the screen. It's going to be fun ride with him there at QC. I'm excited for his interactions with Olicity especially Felicity. They already have a thing going on
The major draw back was Sara's death. I was too sad to feel the anger last night but now I'm pretty pissed with the writers. She made Canary so perfect :(
