Something that helped me feel a bit better about losing Sara was rationalizing that maybe the show chose to be so faithful to Black Canary's identity because they aren't planning on being so faithful to her personal relationships. Trumping Sara is hard enough, but trumping Felicity? That's a fool's errand and everyone…

Trust me, I'm not happy about it either. I was pretty disappointed/pissed when it happened (I uh, used capitalization pretty excessively in a lot of comments, if memory serves) but all they can really do now is damage control, and so far, I think they're making a go of it.

Basically, they can't backtrack, and the bar they started with was extremely high. Like,…

EVERYTHING.

Nah, it's nothing, really. As long as you don't have a soul, I'm sure you'll be just fine.

THE MATH CHECKS OUT.
