castalieToday has been grey and damp, the kind of weather that makes you want to curl up on your couch either with a good book or something nice on the telly - or both, mind ;) I'm usually not one to stay home all day, I get cabin fever if I don't go out, even a little, and feel like I've wasted a whole day, but today I just didn't feel like leaving the couch at all. Cookie was all "are you sure you don't want to come with me outside??" And, yes, I was sure. Role reversal! So I just stayed home. I was a bit productive as I worked on my parents' site but apart from that I mostly just lazed around online and watched many, many YT videos.
Cookie is now at my parents' (they're doing a Sherlock night and I think she wants to introduce them to Hannibal) and I'm still at home, puttering around on the computer while listening to the rain and watching Pénélope Bagieu talk to me about her favourite bandes dessinées ) - if you speak/read French, enjoy BDs and long for recs, I highly recommend her BD Chronicles :)
Anyway, I feel very mellow :)
I'm thinking of orderinga pizza or some Chinese and then going back to the early days of Arrow, watch the first episodes. It's always fun going back to the first season, see how things have changed... see how Oliver has changed. I haven't tired of it yet ;) And speaking of Arrow, that last episode was so good! The plot involving Roy, I could do without as I just do not care about his character at all but the rest, oh the rest. Loved that scene when Moira revealed she'd known about Oliver being the Arrow for a whole year. Oliver's face when he realised the true meaning of his mother's "I know" ♥
I'd love it if it was something the writers had planned from the get go and we could go back to the beginning of the season and see hints that Moira did, in fact, know but I'm not sure that's the case. Just in case, though, next time I'll marathon the whole thing, I'll pay attention to the way she behaves around Oliver...
And then that ending... I'm so sorry to bid farewell to Moira as I loved her character but what a way to go! Her death summed up her character in the most wonderful way, I thought, she died protecting her children but taking some of her secrets with her. Oh, and turns out her "close your eyes, baby" directed at Thea was ad-libbed. Kudos, Mrs Thompson, that was one hell of a scene!
The whole thing was so intense, wasn't it? It was messy and scary and you could feel Thea and Oliver's despair so well! I absolutely loved that Oliver felt as helpless, scared and distraught as Thea did. I was impressed at the way this scene was written as, usually, we would have a stoic hero!character showing more anger than fear. We had none of that here and I'm very grateful as it rendered the whole scene much more emotional. They all broke my heart... I know I sound like a broken record but I guess some things bear repeating, I cannot wait for the last episodes.
