But they already killed Sara.

She was a nice Canary, but she might have been the least hot one of all the girls in Arrow.
The main reasoning here on people claiming they'd kill off Felicity was her perceived 'ruining' the show though, which is why I point out her popularity. She didn't, it became more popular under her.
Cupid, Huntress, Nyssa, Waller, McKenna, Shado, Sara.
She's on that other show now. No harm done.

I don't actually want any of the characters to be killed off. Sure, Felicity was annoying last season, but they just wrote her "better" and it's fine now. It's just that I want the writers to have the freedom to do it, if they deem it appropriate.
It's funny, because I'm listening to the last episode of the Tested.com podcast, where they talk about the shows for a brief moment and one of them said that Arrow "feels like a show for tweens", which isn't something I can really disagree with. e: So maybe Arrow really is the wrong show to complain about a stupid thing like that.
Same. I'm not a huge fan of killing cast to kill cast.
It kinda is. It is still an important part of The CW audience. I have no problem with, they deliver tween shows like The Vampire Diaries that give me what I want as someone in his twenties. Tolkien language makes me a tween. I think the success of The CW is that they manage to make tween shows that appeal to other ages too, which is different from their Gossip Girl past when they made tween stuff that only tweens could relate to.

Still can't believe the Felicity hate when we still have Laurel on the show.
Twist at the end of the show, commissioner Gordon was her father all along, Felicity Smoak is the name witness protection gave her.
Nuts, crazy, lesbian (afawk), sociopath, the shotgun cop (?), dead, Sara is great though.
Now she's a less useful, more boring and annoying Sara. Also the godsdamn screech.

And I still can't believe people still hate Laurel. She's so awesome now.
Forget the earlier seasons. It's now what matters.
I wonder if there is really something happening. Amell has mentioned he thinks Slade should return.

So basically, Shado is the only one that couldn't work and she has a twin. And I didn't even mention Caitlyn and Iris.

Interesting to see Gordon being mentioned in here, because I didn't realize that Anarky was yet another real comic book character from Batman, until I played Arkham Origins yesterday.
It's a shame that they can't get Harley on the show anymore. I really like the little teaser in the Suicide Squad episode.

There's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you just want to join the winning team.

On the contrary Shado works best, she was neither crazy nor has she dumped him before, it's already established death has no meaning in this series anyways. CW still needs Caitlin and Iris to have a continuing love triangle on the flash, so they are out.

I'll always have a soft spot for Laurel. But that Canary Cry has to go though.

It is a shame they can't get anybody of that Suicide Squad on screen anymore.
Once you hate someone anything they do start to annoy you.
It's like how John Campea hated Laurel in season 2 and that hatred carried over into season 3, even though Laurel was one of the only good things in season 3.

I thought they could do it again, but Deadshot and Harley were off limits?
That's a little insensitive, given Felicity's current state.
Ayyy keep it fresh dawg.
Only Harley and Deadshot are off limits as far as we know.
Deadshot is also dead

I laugh everything, hope it never leaves
We never saw a body. #Believe
After it whiffed on Anarky the writers have to be making fun of it.
Somebody has to.

I think Wozzly already wrote that one besides, they already had that sexual tension in season one.

Do we know for sure he's dead? We never actually see him die on screen, just that he is seemingly on the roof of that building when it explodes.
He's dead
Deader than Ropeguy.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Unless I'm shown pieces of his blown up body, Deadshot isn't dead.
Even then, I wouldn't rule him coming back as Frankenstein.

What is dead can never die.
Did I make this comment already? Major deja vu

So im watching Vampire Diaries season 2, and suddenly see a move so unnecessary my first thought was Roy's flips.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZKnyc0PyUA (2:10)
Holy shit I haven't laughed this hard at an "action" scene since the Roy wall flip.

That's some amateur shit compared to Roy's wallflip. Nothing can beat that.
Bronze Tiger and Shrapnel are dead. They are not off-limits, but we can't get them.

It's a shame they killed Bronze Tiger off in the comic tie-in. I love Michael Jai White and he should have been used better and more.
Please, Earth 2, bring me my Michael Jai White Black Dynamite/Mr. Terrific that haunts my dreams.

I still don't get why they wrote him out. Michael Jai White isn't some hot star, there is enough time for him to pass by.

Thread pls.
Sara was hot as hell, and she's even hotter now that she's, oh, so slightly less buff as White Canary in Legends from the Future.
OOFFF.
The lack of a mask is also good. Although the Black Canary wig might have been better.

That was so disappointing. He barely even had lines on the show.

Hell, even the show seems to ignore Oliver and Laurel ever dated. Flashbacks wise, Oliver per his words in season 1 should be missing the hell out of Laurel and thinking of her often and yet he's banging every woman he comes across.
What happened to that photo of her he carried with him?

Next season's flashbacks are going to be awesome as they have to reconcile the very beginning of the series with where they are in the past.
Except for Lyla, who has now given up being a government agent to be a stay at home mom, I guess. And occasional moral sounding board for Diggle.
In 3.5 years, "I'm Cupid....stupid" may have been the most bizarre line reading of the entire show.
When Felicity and Oliver were in the limousine it got shot up like that scene from The Godfather and they still lived, so I don't see why he couldn't have survived that.
This is TV we are talking about, people have lived through much worse (explosions in particular).
I think he survived, but the mystery is when are they allowed to bring him back? When is Suicide Squad dated enough and Suicide Squad 2 not yet there?
He ended up on the island after cheating on her. He probably quickly dumped that photo once he could have sex with the hotties there.
Waller is still possible too, I'm really thinking the four criminals.
Best, you mean best.

They went through great pains in his last episode to refer to him explicitly as Lawton over Deadshot, so they could even do a thing where they bring him back and refer to him only as that or even just give him a new codename.
