Arrow (Season 3) Episode 5: The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak

I feel like this was an episode for the hackers. We get Felicity Smoak’s bcak story here and what better way to start than with an impromptu visit from her mom. Felicity mom fine as hell too (There. I said it). Felicity is caught of guard and being pulled in multitude of directions this episode. We also see that there has been a major city wide power outage. This isn’t a regular outage as it was induced by something, or rather someone a bunch of comic book heads will be familiar with. This is the work of Brother Eye. Brother Eye is attacking the banks and about to make everyone account 0. So you know folk bout to be pissed. As the current DA is out Laurel is stepping in and she sends a riot squad to handle the situation… Yeah. Good job Laurel. Roy and Ollie show up to get disperse the crowd with some gas. Felicity then realizes that this Brother Eye is a virus that can’t be stopped and she knows this because she invented it. Also I need to say that it is great that Arrow throws another obscure mechanic from DC universe into the show. However, making Brother Eye a computer virus aka an online std aka Streamlining Transmitted Disease, is like Agents oF Shield having The Vision show up on their show as an ATM. Just putting that out there. There are no service fees on me Flash back to a Young Felicity Smoak. Hair all black everything. Looking straight up hacker with a Ankh on the chain so you know she is into bla– blasting conscious hip-hop. We see felicity, her then boyfriend…
