I think when it comes to Felicity, she is good in small doses. She was never meant to be a main character but unfortunately the Showrunners and Writers didn't understand this. I loved Felicity's interactions with Oliver before they really started pushing Olicity. As soon as they made her the main love interest, that was when her character started going downhill. As said before she was never meant to be a main cast character, she was only supposed to be in one episode but because she had a good scene with Oliver, they kept brining her back.

Season 6 as a whole, is better then Season 3 and 4 but it suffered greatly. The decision in not to kill off any important characters in the season premier was one of the worst mistakes they made. The fact that they couldn't even be bothered to mention who else survived.

I was disappointed in the revelation of Vigilante, simply because once again it was a false promise. Now I will admit I did grow to like Vincent as he became a good character, it was interesting to see his character arc, but the problem was he was the only reason Dinah was made interesting. Dinah for me doesn't work well as the Black Canary, but she is pretty good when she is a cop and I think they need to play to her strengths next season and have her become the police captain.

As for the main villains, we had two in Cayden James and Ricardo Diaz, I enjoyed Cayden, his motivations was simple and it was great how he had Oliver at his mercy, he was a smart villain who pretty much blackmailed Oliver into giving him the city's money. His motivation was understandable and made you feel for him. Now as for Diaz, I found him pretty bland and boring. He came off as a spoiled child who has a hissy fit when things don't go his way. He is calm and collected but then he turns into the child.

One of the main draws for me in the season was Laurel, despite the fact that half of the time, it seemed they didn't know what they were doing with her half the time. She was constantly changing personality every episode, it was only in the mid-season finale when they finally started doing stuff with her. Her arc with Quentin was one of the best of the season as both Katie and Paul are amazing with each other.

I am hoping that next season we see an upgrade, considering we are getting a new showrunner and new writers we are going to get some fresh ideas and here's hoping they actually listen to everyone, not the Olicity fanboys on Twitter and Instagram
