By

When Emily Bett Rickards first auditioned to play Felicity Smoak on The CW's Arrow, it was a one episode guest spot.

Although, having now spent 10 blissful minutes with the actress, I am rather mystified the powers that be didn't instantly recognize her infectious energy would bring a much needed levity to many of the drama's weightiest morality moments.

Emily and I recently sat down to talk all about this last stretch of Arrow episodes and answer some of your most pressing Twitter questions. But I'll be honest, there were (more than) a few conversational detours taken along the way.
