You also want to be the most hated character on a TV show?

[(Anonymous)]

Is she hated? I only see her when she pops up on the Flash because I'm like... 3 seasons behind on Arrow, but I love her...

When I found out she and Oliver finally stopped dancing around each other and got together too, I was happy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, a lot of the fandom hates her because on Arrow they sort of shifted a lot of the focus from the title character to her. WhichYou might have heard the show sarcastically referred to as "Felicity and Friends". They've had a 15% rating drop from S2 to S3 (when the focus shifted from superhero/crime fighting to relationship drama).

[(Anonymous)]

Ah. I don't think I'd overly mind her being more central because I like her and she tends to balance out Oliver's drama-queen aura, but again, I don't see her regularly because I'm only on like... S02E12, so maybe it's because I don't suffer from oversaturation that she doesn't bother me?

An emphasis on relationship drama WOULD bug me though, because I don't mind relationships existing in these shows, but things like Barry/Iris's will they-won't they drives me nuts. Doesn't make me hate Iris or anything, I just hate the subplot. :/

[(Anonymous)]

Not only is it romance. But it is a love triangle. The most cliche romance drama possible.

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh... why always with the triangles?!

[(Anonymous)]

It starts and ends in S3, thank god, but S5 looks like they might kick off another one.

[(Anonymous)]

I like Barry. I like Iris. I like the idea of Barry and Iris together.

I don't like how the show's written their relationship. OMG writers stoppp. Get a clue.

[(Anonymous)]

I know, right? Like... right from the beginning I had no real objection to them as endgame, but it's been like two seasons of total clusterfuck writing in getting them there to the point where I just want to throw my hands up and be all, "Forget it! You've ruined it now! (Give me CiscoWells!)"

[(Anonymous)]

Pffffffff please. "shifted a lot of the focus"? All the flashbacks involve Oliver, for one thing, which automatically gives him at least a few extra minutes of screen time every episode compared to her.

[(Anonymous)]

The ratings drop occurred between S3 and S4. The S3 finale had Oliver and Felicity driving into the sunset, having rejected being the Arrow and choosing to be happy far away from Star City. The drop was 17.7% if you look at the averages of both seasons.

S5 opened with the show's lowest rating to date: 1.87 million viewers, which is only the second time Arrow has been under 2m. I know the CW also has access to DVR and +7 day numbers, but yikes.

[(Anonymous)]

IMO part of the drop was the failtastic Raylicity ship. Who wants to watch a creepy bug-eyed motherfucker grossly violating Felicity's boundaries and getting "rewarded" for it? This anon nearly quit watching the show mid-S3 because of it.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, it was the back half of S4 that dragged the ratings down (i.e. way after Ray had left the show for Legends of Tomorrow). The wedding episode was the beginning of the ratings slide.

And say what you want about the writing, but Brandon Routh is gorgeous.

[(Anonymous)]

Ray over lying shitbag Oliver every time.
