All true but he did surpise quite a bit this year already with Adrian Chase being Prometheus and not Vigilante, bringing Multiverse into it with E2-Laurel and the fact that he ended the 5 year Oliver origin story on a Walking Dead 6x16 styled cliffhanger.

WALKING DEAD SPOILERS BELOW:

I had Negan's potential victims narrowed down to Glenn and Abraham fairly quickly simply because things were going good for them. Glenn and Maggie were having a baby and Abraham and Sasha finally found happiness with each other, so I couldn't see what else their characters could do beyond that. I wasn't expecting it to be both but I knew for sure it would be at least one of them.

Guggie has actually said that this episode was partially Walking Dead inspired and if you noticed in the last few episodes of this season Oliver and Felicity have been making amends and have discussed resuming their relationship. That kiss as well also got me thinking "Yep this is goodbye" so who  says Guggie isn't going to adapt all the way to TWD 7x01 and off her because things are going good for Oliver? as I said this may be a repeat of what happened with Laurel but he kinda needs it to prove Adrian wrong and he has a son who will be involved in his life now.
