Is anyone else puzzled?!
Last episode of Arrow, Felicity gave Oliver an advice to keep a secret and tell half truth to his son, to protect him, but similar thing was exactly the reason why she left Oliver two years ago- he kept a secret from her to protect his son and have a chance to be a father. I was left speechless honestly after that scene. Why can't the writers write consistent characters. Or does this mean that she actually realized Oliver did the right thing back then and she walked out on him unreasonably. Just to clarify - I am not saying Felicity was wrong in the both situations, people are different and they have right to accept moral grounds differently. She has the right to think that truth and inclusion is important in a family. I am saying she was inconsistent in her believes. Why truth and inclusion is not important for William. Why is it ok for Oliver to go on a mission that can endanger his life and not tell William to be prepared and that he is actually braking his promise to him. It was not ok when Oliver sent William away to protect him without asking her or that he kept him a secret because of the promise he gave to his mother. it felt quite unfair for Oliver to be put through all the heart break over a moral issue that she changes based on the situation or based on who is on the other side of the lie or secret. I am not saying that Oliver was wrong too, he made a choice because being a parent is always more important than anything. Either way I just feel cheated with this relationship over and over again because nothing makes sense with those two, and there is this constant drama and inconsistency and I don't know which side to be on or what to believe anymore. When they were at odds I have to rationalize it - why are they at odds, and even that made no sense, not to say that them getting back together was without any development or a story or a character progression to make sense. It's just they are either together or not and that's it, nothing realistic to support their choices. End of rant ;)
