The flashfowards are dumb

Why do we need to see shit that aint gonna happen for over 20 years? the flashbacks at least gave you backstory and showed you what Oliver went through before getting home and provided details for characters that was gonna appear in the current timeline to explain how they know Oliver.

Plus all they do is tell you "Hey you know these characters thats in danger every episode? yeah they're all alive 20 years from now so don't worry about any danger they get in from now on".

Maybe they are setting things up for the final season. Maybe a time jump? But I doubt. They have to do one more crossover in the last season.

Not only are they dumb on the face of it, the story is moronic. No one knew Oliver and Felicity had a daughter? Oliver sent William to the grandparents and never heard from him again???

Neither is even a little realistic, but the William thing is a special kind of stupid. A father wouldn't go find out why his son wasn't returning messages? Even if he never got them. A son wouldn't contact his father and ask why he hasn't called? Beyond moronic.

Yeah no one knowing Oliver and Felicity had a daughter is retarded, what after a few months she just wore really big shirts and hid that she had a giant pregnant belly?

Last night's all Flash Forward episode was really bad. I just can't help but think of Ebenezer Scrooge:
"Are these the shadows of things that will happen or may happen"

In other words are they going to do something in the present that stops this from happening?
