I've skipped most of the Laurel scenes in Seasons 1 &2, too. Didn't miss anything important either.

She's really not that good. Bring in Michelle Rodriguez and Hilary Swank, stat!

I think they lure us in with Felicity-centric eps and Nyssa-as-guest-star eps so we can endure the many, many, many Laurel-centric eps. (Standard convo among Arrow producers: "Fans getting bored with Laurel, bring in the Felicity-centric ep stat!")

Monotony? Or monogamy? That def sounds like marriage.

The thing with Laurel is - she's dealing with Sara's death in such a screwed up way. It feels a bit like she's acting like a child - like she's broken a vase or something and she's scared of what will happen if her parents find out, so she's keeping it a secret, so she doesn't have to deal with the emotional…

That would be interesting. Lian Yu and Starling's filling up with baddies anyway: Deadshot and the Suicide Squad, Deathstroke and you've got Malcolm and Ra's and the others, throw in Amanda Waller - it would make for an interesting "Buffy Season 7" type of series finale where all the baddies stage one last siege on…

Ditto! :-D The only thing I'm clear about is Sara Lance, 1987-2007.

Is it Spring '15? I thought this year was the last season? They usually come out around fall, don't they? Bec by Christmas they usually come out with those horrid Christmas eps, so.

Missed opportunity there. And if he's a real hacker, why just US? Why not go international? Most billionaires are offshore now, they could have made a killing going after rich foreign billionaires.

It's the red mask. It highlights the whites of his eyes so much. Didn't notice it last season, just makes me laugh now every time he's wearing it.

I'm trying to distract people from my plans for world domination. :)

Yes!

This whole thread just made made me laugh. A thousand points to you kind sir! Bland, beige or vanilla Canary FTW!

The stealing government money WAS pretty lame. Felicity thinking her boyfriend's already dead, then realizing that's he's alive and behind all this - wow…like we haven't seen THAT one before.

Would be nice if they did this "24" style with Kiefer Sutherland doing a voice over - "The following takes place in 24 hours…" (in an island of some sort)

Oh, god, at this rate, she'll be done with the stages by Season 5 - about the same time she'll be ready to be BC.

This is awesome. A more extremely extreme plot twist (bec they sure as hell aren't making the Lazarus Pit happen) : The first half of this season is a dream and Sara wakes up and is still alive and is still the Black Canary!

Totally. The Wall has unlimited resources and no morals and no qualms about using anyone and anything to achieve her objective. I'm guessing she had Roy brainwashed or something and had her killed to induce a war between LoA and Arrow and Merlyn - being the stand-in for government, she probs thinks they're all…

And the shirts. Def the shirts.
And the fact that she can sell bad ass more than Laurel.

Oh, and Thea's ex - Roy (although it's Thea's that seems to be going bad this season, but Roy may have killed Sara, so).
Arrow's ex - Isabel Rochev (although that might be stretching it, considering they only slept that one time) (RIP, Rochev)
Arrow's ex - the one who had his illegitimate baby
