Despite never having seen an episode of the show, I, um, might have fallen into the felicity/oliver tag on youtube two hours ago.


help me.


or, you know, tell me what episodes are best, koff.

The two of them have some serious chemistry. Add in Oliver's other partner, Diggle and it's an OT3 for the win.

I can't remember any episode titles at the moment but I really enjoyed the show over all.

Just glancing over the episode list, I'd say watch 1,2,5,6,9 (it pains me to say skip 7 & 8 but they did not do Huntress justice), and then in the second half of the season, watch them all except 15, 17, and 18 (though 18 I guess is important for Roy's development, such as it is, and it does have some nice Ollie/Felicity/Diggle in it - I totally ship all permutations of this trio because they are awesome).

If you want a briefer version, 1,2, 11, 12, 13, 14 (this might be the best episode the show's done), 16, and 19-22.

Basically her first episode on are the best.

I've been jumping around in no particular order--I should probably go find an actual list of eps and watch in order, but I swear I just wanted to hear her voice after the gazillionth .gif set went by and I kind of fell down the rabbit hole...

She wasn't even supposed to be around past the first couple of episodes. But when they cast her, Stephen told TPTB that she was going to be a hit and everyone would ship them.

They're kindof adorable. But I'm supposed to be writing!

Set goals then and bribe yourself! Write XX words and go find some Olicity!

Sadly, this didn't work, as I was completely lacking in self-discipline last night, but I might use actual episodes as a distraction while on the treadmill.

The first 100 or so are fine, but then they start to sneak into your subconscious and then it's too late!

I love Felicity! Felicity/Diggle, Felicity/Oliver, Felicity/anyone she sees fit to hook up with!

[identity profile] topaz119.livejournal.com 2013-05-24 03:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree! She should get whoever she wants! (and in whatever order/configuration, too!)

Arrow is a pleasant distraction, but what I'm distracted by in it is Diggle, so I can't really help you. I like Felicity a lot, but this is not a show I think I could ever be fannish about. Or remember the names of episodes for.

My brain is full. *g*

Hah--I wasn't even watching clips on youtube that were in any kind of order, or even well-notated (so that I knew I was watching, say, episode 9, part 2.) So in one clip, Oliver is bleeding! and in another he's pulling a Luke Skywalker and swinging them over a chasm. I was very confused. But they (and Diggle) are very fun together. I might see if I can find episodes w/o too much fuss and bother.

The best Arrow episodes are the ones where Oliver takes off his shirt. I'm just saying. Or, when he wears the green leather pants. Yes. Those episodes, also are greatness.

The only shirtless scene I've seen so far is where he's bleeding, so not so much fun. But I will continue to seek out this greatness of which you speak. Because I trust you just that much, Wendy. :D

Ummm ... who are Felicity and Oliver? (Slinks back into her quiet corner of Jurassic Park)

hah, I had to go find the name of the show (Arrow) because I literally just put Felicity/Oliver into youtube's search bar and got swamped with clips and vids and other shippy goodness. He is the Green Arrow; she is the smart IT girl who takes no sass or doom & gloom draaaaamaaaa from him (or anyone.)

I'm having fun skipping through episodes and watching her (and Diggle, who I could seriously become attached to.) musesfool caught me on DW and gave me the list of things to watch, both the shortlist and the if-you-have-time list. And Hulu is having a 2 week free trial so I might just go and cue this up while I'm on the treadmill. It seems fun!
