Talking with my husband last night about Laurel possibly becoming BC...he said two things that were meaningful. (He is a HUGE comic book fan.) What he said was...this show is called Arrow, it is not about Laurel or Black Canary, it is Oliver's journey, why is Laurel such a main idea on this show (and he thinks it's strange that they didn't call her Dinah from the start if BC was the intent for her from the beginning). Also, he said and I quote " Dinah Lance has years of physical and psychological training toward her journey to Black Canary. Laurel becoming Black Canary on this show with the way they have portrayed her would be an insult to the character of Black Camary and all her fans."
