I desperately want to vid Sara/Oliver (Canary/Arrow) for Arrow (gen, het, whatever). I think this likely would make me a very unpopular fan, which only makes it cooler! They should give that girl a spin-off series. She rocks! Girl + salmon ladder = Hells yes!

That is all. :D

LOL Funny thing is I hate ship names too. It just seems everyone says Olicity so I say it too. I'd prefer to write Oliver/Felicity.
I liked Sara just fine but I liked her even more after the last ep where they revealed that she's bisexual. I loved how true that felt and how she talked to her Dad about it and the way the entire situation was handled. I was proud of the writers and producers and the whole cast for that. It was a fact, a part of her life and it wasn't sensationalized for tv lusting.
Since you've got me talking about the show and I've not really talked to anyone about it before - I'm going to go ahead and say I don't give a fig about Thea & Roy. Do you? Roy in the comics is Ollie's sidekick - his "robin" if you will. And it's him that Ollie calls "speedy" (not thea). I like the actors so I dunno, I guess it's just the writing. I just don't care about them. But I find myself wanting to fast forward whenever it's a Roy/Thea scene or a Laurel scene. The rest of the show is okay for me. How do you feel about them?

Yes, I too adored the handling of the sexuality aspects of the character. It just was.

I really don't like Laurel as a character. She's so shallow somehow. 2 dimensional. But I also never liked the actress in Supernatural, so I wondered at first if it was just her... but I think the writing has a lot more to do with it now.

Thea used to annoy me a bit - the teenage angst angle getting over-played. And at first Roy too seemed very 2-dimensional, with all the poor little lower class angle, etc. But I've come around to both Thea and Roy this season and have actually been enjoying some of the interactions between them and Oliver. I'm hoping now that Roy is on the team, he'll become a proper sidekick and gain a bit more personality. Plus there will be the issue of keeping secrets from Thea which could go well or not depending on the writing. Not one I'd bet on.

Loving that there is now really a team of five - Ollie, Sara, Roy, Dig and Felicity. It's fun! I hope it stays that way for a while. :)

On a side note, I love Laurel's Dad. That character has always played well for me. As does Walter. I just wanna squish him. :)
