I would love a BOP show, but it has to be standalone. No connection to the Arrowverse, please. The Arrow writers have completely butchered Huntress and all versions of Black Canary. A BOP show build around these characters would struggle to reach a million viewers.

Yeah, she really does look a bit ridiculous in the EW group photo. Everyone around her looks completely normal, so her Canary Cry pose sticks out like a sore thumb. That's strange to say the least.

Meh. Maybe the writers can salvage Rene with some good writing, but Dinah is a lost cause. She will never find acceptance with the majority of the fandom because the clueless writers are keeping a version of Laurel around, who's now even going to be redeemed. That makes Dinah completely obsolete as a character and I have no idea why the show is keeping up this charade. IMO, they should do the right thing and give Juliana a chance to start over somewhere else.

LOL, every time I think the writing on this show couldn't get any more stupid, the writers manage to prove me wrong. They really do deserve a medal for that glorious achievement.

Damn, JH totally looks like a young Leah Remini in that second class photo.

So, is Kirk A. a regular this season?

Hopefully, they'll finally get Black Canary and Huntress right and we can forget about the botched Arrow versions once and for all.

Wow, that's some crazy shit right there. I think Juliana needs to watch "Be Here Now", the documentary about Andy Whitfield's fight against cancer. Andy was so positive, brave and hopeful throughout the whole ordeal but still died from this terrible disease.

That's exactly what it was and it worked like a charm. Nobody saw Sara's death coming.

So, with BS trying to live up to Laurel's legacy and basically taking over her life, what in god's name is Dinah still on the show for? Her character is as useful as a hole in the head.

Maybe there's really going to be a love triangle with Curtis at the center. That would be a new low - even for this show.

Nope, but it would be an improvement compared to the dumpster fire that was season 6.

Well, if this is what the writers have planned, season 7 will be another failure. Not only are those storylines nonsensical, they are repetitive to boot.

Sure, but WH was a special case. She was done with the show and didn't want to do more. KC, on the other hand, isn't even close to being done with the show and might even have her role increased now that BS is on the road to redemption.

I can't watch the video. What did he say?

I'm here for it! Lucy would make a great villain, but it would have to be a multi-episode arc. I wouldn't accept anything less.

I hate putting it out into the universe, but maybe there will be a cop boyfriend/Curtis/gay computer wizzard love triangle?

I'm all for talent looking to expand their horizons beyond acting, but if I remember correctly, the last time JH was asked to pitch her version of an episode of Arrow, she mentioned it would be 40 minutes full of fight scenes with very few breaks and very little dialogue. IMO, that would be an instant contender for the worst episode of all time. So, unless her perspective has changed drastically, they better not let her anywhere near the writer's room.

Word. If the writers want Felicity to work with BS, they'll make it happen by hook or by crook. In fact, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the upcoming BC/BS stuff is a mentorship where Dinah teaches BS to use her powers for good - leading to Dinah's eventual departure and Black Siren's rise as the 5000th BC by the end of the season, lol. And obviously, if this theory turns out to be true, Felicity and Laurel would have to work together at some point. The writers didn't get rid of her after they killed off her only personal connection in Quentin Lance. They sure as heck wouldn't do it after she's been redeemed. They're just going to force her back onto the team and it will almost be like Laurel never died at all.

LOL, exactly. A BC/BS teamup would have made sense if Vincent's death was a tragic accident, but this stupid show had BS murder him in cold blood and now we're just expected to forget that it ever happened? The writers really must think we're all fools with a memory like a sieve.

That's interesting in light of this new blind item.

I've never seen her in anything, but what about Alicia Vikander for Black Canary? She's 31, a former Oscar-nominee and did Tomb Raider recently.

AvaLance is in second place. Are they that great together?

That's what I'm thinking, too. It would probably make a good chunk of the season unwatchable to many, but it would also be an effective way to reduce the episode count for at least half of the main cast.

It could be worse. Tom Welling was the only remaining original cast member when Smallville ended. Allison Mack still made appearances on the show, but as far as I can remember, not in a regular capacity.
