自从《绿箭侠》在这一季的初始阶段向我们展示了一个Oliver(Stephen Amell饰演)在某人的墓前流泪的景象之后，我们就知道一场悲剧离我们不远了。并且在看到Oli生命中的一个个女人都差不多卷进了可怕的谋杀之中后，在加上在十二月份季中末集中Felicity(Emily Bett Rickards饰演)中枪之后，大家就自然而然地认为那是为她而准备的墓了。但是对这个迷人的IT女来说，有一个重要的原因她不能就这么死去，这个原因的第一个字为“神”。

　　在很早之前，就已经有人猜测Felicity最终会与漫画书中的角色神谕有关，并且看起来这些猜测貌似即将实现了。在漫画里，Barbara Gordon，也就是蝙蝠女，在被小丑致残之后，变成了神谕。当她被困在轮椅里之后，神谕就开始用高科技和电脑来帮助各超级英雄完成使命。这难道不像我们所熟知的IT女么?

　　《绿箭侠》在每次想要引入蝙蝠侠系列中的角色的时候，都会大量汲取，多多益善，比如说，刺客联盟头目Ra’s al Ghul，死亡射手，丧钟Slade Wilson，女猎手，正义联盟筹划者Amanda Waller，所以如果《绿箭侠》打算引入神谕也不奇怪了。尤其神谕还是一个女性超级英雄组成的猛禽小队的创始者之一，这个小队还包括黑金丝雀(Katie Cassidy饰演)和女猎手(Jessica De Gouw饰演)。但是Oliver恨意满满的前女友Helena很有可能不会愿意乖乖合作，所以估计Oliver的妹妹Thea(Willa Holland饰演)会顶替女猎手加入猛禽小队。想象一下那该多棒呀，一个由三个牛逼哄哄的女人组成的小队，Felicity，Laurel和Thea，她们会一起团结起来对抗罪犯。该到哪才能申请加入呢?

　　除了Felicity可能和其他两个女人建立的特殊关系之外，如果Felicity真的转变成神谕，那么这将是一个很好的展示Felicity另一面的机会。从一开始Felicity以一个时刻紧绷的对自己的老板有好感的IT女的形象出场之后，她已经逐渐成长为电视荧屏上最为可爱最为牛逼的角色之一了。她无穷无尽的乐观和幽默总能为《绿箭侠》带来必不可少也让人耳目一新的轻松与欢乐。但是，如果在这次严重的创伤之后，她的世界观受到了挑战，甚至开始转变会不会也很有趣呢?Oliver，Diggle(John Ramsey饰演)，Thea和Laurel都有流血流泪的，感情丰富的过去，只有Felicity是唯一一个基本丝毫无损的主要角色，直到现在才受了重伤。《绿箭侠》中的世界是很危险的，所以我和很多粉丝一样都比较期待这个危及到Felicity性命的事件将会对这个我们最为喜爱的IT天才产生什么影响。

　　如果Felicity真的转变成神谕，那么这部剧集也将迈出极为重要的一步，它将第一次塑造一个残废的角色。虽然《绿箭侠》一向包含的元素较为广泛，但是残废的角色毕竟很少出现在电视上，更不用说是这么重要的角色了。在《绿箭侠》的衍生剧《闪电侠》的第一季当中的那个下身瘫痪的科学家Harrison Wells(Tom Cavanagh饰演)也在后来被证明是假装瘫痪的。不过既然Felicity这个角色已经这么鼓舞人心了，那么何必不把她塑造成一个在面对挑战时仍不屈不挠的象征，或是证明残疾也能够成为一个超级英雄的例子呢?

　　不过当然了，Felicity仍然有可能永远也不会用上轮椅。比如在2011年，DC就让Barbara Gordon这个角色在一次实验性的手术之后恢复了行走的能力，虽然这让很多粉丝感到不满。所以，Felicity到底还能不能走动，或者她到底会不会变成神谕，都将在后续的剧集中才能揭晓。但是我觉得大家都会支持，并且基本能够确定的就是：Felicity不可能已经死了。

　　Ever since Arrowstarted this season off with Oliver (Stephen Amell) crying over a grave, we knew tragedy was headed our way. And seeing as how every woman in Oli's life winds up horrifically murdered, we understand why you might have jumped to conclusions after witnessing Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) being gunned down in December's midseason finale. But there is one major reason Felicity can't be dead and it starts with an "O."

　　There have long been rumors that Felicity would eventually evolve into the comic book character Oracle, and it looks like these reports are finally coming to fruition. In the comics, Oracle is the alias for Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, after the Joker cripples her. Once confined to a wheelchair, Oracle used technology and computers to help superheroes in their duty. Does that sound like anybody we know?

　　Arrow has been extremely grabby when it comes to co-opting Batman mythology - see: Ra's al Ghul, Deadshot, Slade Wilson, the Huntress and Amanda Waller - so it makes total sense for Arrow to incorporate Oracle, particularly since the tech genius is a founding member of the Birds of Prey, a team of female superheroes that includes Black Canary (Katie Cassidy) and the Huntress (Jessica De Gouw). Since we doubt Oliver's vindictive ex Helena is about to join the squad, there's a good chance we could see Thea (Willa Holland) step up to fill the Huntress' role in the Birds of Prey. And how great would that be? A team of three badass women - Felicity, Laurel and Thea - united together in a fight against crime. Where do I sign up?

　　In addition to potentially opening up new relationships for Felicity with Laurel and Thea, the evolution into Oracle would be an incredible opportunity to showcase new sides of Felicity. Since her introduction as the nervous IT girl with a crush on her boss, Felicity has grown into one of the most lovable and badass characters on TV. Her endless optimism and sense of humor has always brought a lightness to Arrow -- which it sorely needs. But wouldn't it be interesting to see how Felicity's worldview is challenged and evolves after surviving a trauma of this magnitude? Oliver, Diggle (John Ramsey), Thea and Laurel have all been given meaty, emotional arcs in the past, but Felicity has survived the series relatively unscathed up until this point. The world of Arrow is a dangerous one and I, for one, am excited to see how such a life-altering event affects our favorite tech genius.

　　By turning Felicity into Oracle, the series would also take the important step of including its first character with a disability. Arrow has always made a point to be inclusive, but unfortunately people with disabilities are rarely seen on television, let alone in a starring role. In its first season, the Arrow spin-off The Flash featured the paraplegic scientist Harrison Wells (Tom Cavanagh), only to later reveal he was faking being paralyzed. Felicity is already such an inspirational character, so why not make her a symbol of resilience in the face of challenge and a reminder that having a disability doesn't mean one can't be a hero?

　　Of course, there's also the possibility that Felicity won't use a wheelchair forever. In 2011, DC revamped Barbara Gordon by having her regain her mobility after an experimental surgery, to much readers' outrage. Whether Felicity will ever walk again - and whether she will truly become Oracle - will only be known in time. But I think we can all agree one thing's for certain: There's no way Felicity Smoak is dead.
