While that may be true,   I mean that character was my favorite by far as well, but as you said everybody saw it coming and I saw the hints towards it weeks before it happened, and I'm getting those same vibes towards Felicity now. Guggie actually said this episode was partially Walking Dead inspired and he has implied a main character will die in 6x01 when it airs.

Also just because many fans like myself would love for her to die, there are many fans that would be devastated to see her die so because of that I think it's possible to be impactful for them as well.
