All true but again they do seem to be somewhat influenced by their audiences and it's generally accepted that Olicity was the main reason for season 4's lack of success and since it was gone for most of this season which was much better recieved it makes sense if they just get rid of it.

Also does it not occur to you that they could have thrown Olicity back in as a test to see how audiences would react to it? Since there is already people deeming season 6 a failure before it even starts because of the implication of Olicity's return, and there were so many people wishing that Adrian or Slade would kill her in the weeks leading up to it, I tihnk they could realize their mistake this time and just not return to it.

I'm not trying to dismiss what you're saying but I still think there is hope Olicity will die.
