Felicity is the only reason why I'm still watching this show. The biggest mistake so far was having so many so called heros in ths show. S1 & 2 were perfect because the Arrow team was just Oliver, Diggle and Felicity. Without Felicity, Oliver Queen will never be a hero he wants to, because he has no brains! He's never made a single good decision in his life! Felicity is the one emotionally strong and always acting as Oliver's moral compass. Their chemistry on screen is so real and undeniable that the writers had to make them the love interest for each other. Unfortunately, all this recent drama about Oliver needing to keep William a secret is so unnecessary and stupid that I actually think Oliver really doesn't deserve Felicity now. He has no cognitive reasoning skills at all. Did he think that lying to Felicity was a better choice than lying to Samantha? If Thea and Malcolm all knew about William, then he's already broken his promise to Samantha anyway; so why would he still keep the secret from Felicity? If his concern was to keep William safe, did he not think Ruve's campaign people wouldn't find out about his son (since Thea has already been able to?)  and should have taken a proactive step to protect William with the help of  Felicity and Arrow team? Maybe the writers really wanted to show that Malcolm was right - Oliver Queen is handsome but not very bright. That's also why he needs Felicity by his side. Arrow won't survive without Felicity.
