Can't wait for your inevitable Off-Topic thread about what dictates characters being un-killable

Haven't watched the episode and got spoiled on it. Think I might just drop it after this season is done. Season 4 had a great start, but the Arrow's supporting cast has been getting thinned out over time and they fall back on relationship bullshit. It basically took a nose dive after the Flash Crossover.
Black Canary is a core part of the GA mythos. This would be like taking Lois lane out of Superman or Mera out of Aquaman. Sara might return but I'm doubting it. Getting rid of Roy was also a shitty step. I don't care for their take on Mr. Terrific either, he's just some eccentric nerd instead of his usual stoic, confident self. The Ollicity stuff really didn't bother me that much, but now they're killing off characters wantonly.
I don't understand creatively why they would do this, unless it was mandated because they might be using Black Canary in Justice League.
Making Felicity be Black Canary would be trite, we already had that transformation arc for Laurel with a much stronger motivation. E2 BC is just a dumb idea unless she ends up being an entirely different character.

Has someone been keeping a list of all the people that say they'll drop the show after this season?

Ready to watch it! Lets do this!
e: I'm sure you guys have already gotten into this.
But did Merlyn really knock Thea out with this stump of an arm and then take the idol with him all by himself?

Oh and Diggle driving the van in mask still looks hilarious.

Literally Black Driver! That must be as much of an in-joke as Roy's flips at this point.

Earth 2 Laurel to be the new Black Canary in the ultimate twist.

What I'm hoping for. Either that or Laurel is revealed to have faked her death.

Killing off Laurel makes no sense.

I still love it when every now and again there's that one person somewhere who asks "so did Wildcat like die during the fight against Brick" because the show doesn't give an explanation at all as to what happened to him.

Man how this show has fallen.
The fact that they had Laurel state something about Olicity on her Death bed is horrendous writing. Uncle Guggy the tumblrina strikes again. Geez this guys writing is atrocious.

Yep, this is what I'm hoping. The thing about "the promise" at the end that we didn't hear and her suddenly just dying after being ok was weird.

Felicity can't be the new Canary when Captain Lance is going to take up the mask aka Black Chesthairy.

As soon as they straightened out Laurel's character to be less annoying and worthless, she's gone and wishing Olicity the best in their future endeavors.
For fuck's sake. Two Black Canaries gone from Arrow, and without a good reason why in regards to Laurel.

It's simple: Laurel being alive makes for the possibility of her being with Oliver at some point. Can't have that thread looming.

Anybody that thought so was crazy that ship sunk long ago .
Some will say the comic but this show so far from the comic it should have no effect .

Meh, it was pretty clear by season two that Laurel and Oliver weren't going to be together and that was okay because there was too much bad history there for it to really work.
Oh hey, Zero got his Member back.

Maybe DC needs Canary for Birds of Prey movie...
it could happen.
it could happen.
I would probably fall over dead if someone says this in the next episode during the funeral.

Damn, I hope that's not the case. My faith in the DCCU has plummeted like Lavos into the planet.
I was already spoiled thanks to this thread not using spoiler tags last week. But now a spoiler in the thread title before I even watched it to remember me of it seems a bit much. Why is that allowed all the sudden? Pretty easy to figure out Laurel dies if you watch the show and see the title now.

Oliver Queen, you have failed this Katie?

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Spoiler tags are no longer required once a show has aired an episode in its country of origin.
But it's in the title of the thread. And last weeks non spoilered text was from the leak set pics, not the episode.
Yeah the title kinda ruined it as I was watching the hospital bed confession :\
After BvS I doubt announce more movies until the upcoming ones knock it out of the park.
Show runners have denied this, specially because they faked out Roy not so long ago. But how trust worthy they are these days..
