Wrong. This was nothing but the Arrow writers being idiots. They said they framed the scenes that way to give her a death that “we’ve not seen on this show”. In other words a fake out where we think she’s ok but she suddenly dies afterwards. It was their attempt at being clever but only succeeded in pissing viewers…

She was always a good actor, the show just gave her shitty material. Look at her as Laurel on the Flash in Season 2, or Black Siren last season. She’s awesome when they give her good material, they just always treat her like crap to prop felicity or sara up

I don’t think she’ll be evil, but i do think she’ll be Black Siren. I smell a redemption arc coming up. Either that or she’ll be joining the Legion of Doom on Legends.

Oliver, Ray, Roy, and Andy Diggle kind of “came back from the dead”. Thea almost did too. Point is this show can’t carry through with any threats of “death”.

i was hoping it would be OG Laurel, but the more i read about her return the more i think it is black siren.. otherwise producers and writers wouldn’t keep teasing them being “suspicious” of her.

i think they confused the movies making a lot of money as being “well received”. most peoples reactions are “meh” at best. filming 3 sequels at once is very much overkill.

i don’t think anyone wants to see another felicity-centric storyline though. after ROYALLY screwing her for for the past two seasons i was really hoping we’d get a break from her this season.

i would’ve liked to see her struggle with blaming him for at least one episode. i mean, it is his fault since he decided to put an arrow in him so quickly without even thinking. not to mention it’s pretty out of character for felicity

another thing felicity doesn’t need to be is focused on more

No you’re not supposed to just “get over” the blood lust. it continues until you kill the one that kills you, if i remember right. that or take the super rare elixir that nyssa gave to thea.

I FUCKING WISH. I’ve been wanting Cheshire since season 2, although to be fair i don’t think Thea’s right for the role.

I do wish they’d be a little more comical though. I don’t need it be a comedy show by any means, but it gets old seeing oliver be such a stick in the mud 24/7. But it does seem to be finding it’s groove again.

Laurel Lance:

no she didn’t she’s been locked up in star labs prison. i’m guessing she escaped, but then i wonder how she knew where the arrow cave was or how to get in or how she dyed her hair while in the prison

he was killed while dressed up as prometheus with 3 green arrows in his chest. not too many ways you can hide that, it’ll come out eventually.

i didn’t want to either, but it almost felt a little too quick. i would’ve liked to see them struggle for like one episode. it’s not very believable, especially for the whiny queen felicity

agreed, give us more trick arrows and lazarus pits! arrow doesn’t have to have metahumans and magic to be comic-y

I think he meant people don’t just come back from the dead naturally on their own, so theres a reason she’s back and they have to explore how that happened.

Arrow writers + cast have made it very clear that magic isn’t their territory. and their not wrong. just look at how bad last season was.

maybe the effects of flashpoint are still “rippling”.. the show runners said flashpoint had something to do with her coming back, so I’m guessing its a combo of that + something else like Talia
