Mystery of Blackstar

    As this reviewer reads online articles and read the various Olicity Facebook posts  and blogs, I see the ever increasing  concern  about the hopes  of  a  Queen baby dashed.  I'm hoping to reassure  you that those  are  all misdirects from the  writers.  Tight-lipped Beth gives very little  away.  She hints that  Felicity  and Oliver are unconnected the Blackstar,  whom we at first were told  was to be Maya, but now we find her called Mia.  Those who have followed  Arrow for a  long time understand all the misdirects. 

We  did hear  that on episode 713 which  is airs  Monday, we  will get a big reveal. I'm going out on a limb and  say what one  big reveal probably is.  William's  home and Oliver and Felicity are  having trouble trying to reach and understand William.  They are facing their first real parenting challenge.  Felicity questions  her  ability to  parent. Oliver's taking time off to address the  parenting issues, and in the middle  of this we find Felicity his pregnant.  Now that would  be a big  reveal that would lead to Blackstar being  Oliver  and  Felicity's daughter. 

There is no way that Mia can be just a random character that is unconnected to our two main heroes.  Arrow already has a  plethora  of  characters that aren't fully fleshed out, and they add another one that has no connection to anyone  else? No, I don't think so.  Arrow has been the master of misdirect, but they all are  good  at giving us  clues, if  we are willing to look.

First, the name.  If Mia is indeed  the  name, then that is a  big clue  that Beth wanted to keep  secret, hence misleading everyone  to think Maya will be the character's name.  Mia Deardon was  a name  Thea gave herself in early episodes.  Deardon is Moria's maiden  name.  I don't believe they would call  her this  if she  were  some random character. 

Oliver and Felicity are  both alive, or at least Felicity is.  Felicity is  no way evil.  Remember the fern  that was  in there? When  Roy, Dinah, and William  found that room?  The fern is always associated  with Oliver and Felicity. Then we have the code that used  both Arrows and computer tech, again pointing to both Oliver and Felicity.  So Oliver was alive at some point for them to make the code the way they did. Also, if you noticed  the destroyed bunker scene where Mia and Conner go, there is  another fern.

Don't lose heart, Arrow is expanding it's story  because our characters are expanding and growing.  Is Arrow perfect?  No, but no show is ever  perfect. But stop and consider the signs and don't fall for the misdirect,  my friends.
