tv echo October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 If Barry and Felicity kiss a few episodes down the road, I think that's understandable. Barry woke up from a coma and found out his longstanding crush, Iris, is dating the new cop (see Flash premiere). Felicity was all hopeful about starting a relationship with her longstanding crush, Oliver, and he just rejected her. It makes sense that the two of them might see if there were any sparks. My guess is that they'll kiss and realize it isn't enough to replace the people they really love. 2 Link to comment

shadow2008 October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) Why would they think we'd care to see the flashbacks of a DEAD character? What's the point? We'll see how much Sara had to survive and fight to become the badass she was only so she could be thrown off a roof so Laurel can magically take over. Yeah, that's something to look forward too. Agreed. I always wanted to get some LOA backstory for Sara, but now that she's dead, who cares? I guess if they do end up exploring it, they will tell those flashbacks from Nyssa's point of view and maybe use it to emphasize why she turns against her father down the line, but really, you don't need flashbacks for that. A few well-written pieces of dialogue would get that point across well enough... And wasn't there a rumor that CL filmed something for episode 4? If she's really in that episode, I could see it being a flashback to the last time Nyssa saw Sara before she left for Starling City. Edited October 9, 2014 by shadow2008 Link to comment

dtissagirl October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) So the secret about Sara that Laurel is pondering spilling next week is actually her wondering whether or not she should tell Lance that Sara is really really really 3 arrows dead this time?

dtissagirl October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 My guess is Komodo is a hired gun and the mystery is who hired him to kill Sara. 1 Link to comment
statsgirl October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 I think Komodo was the #1 guess. But looking at that promo, I don't care who hired him, In fact, there is nothing there that I do care about especially Oliver's manpain and sense of guilt and responsibility yet again and Laurel's frantic cries. I don't like Ray and at this point, I wish Felicity could find someone without the massive ego. Come back, Barry, come back. Link to comment
apinknightmare October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) I think they want us to think it was Komodo - it's too obvious. Also, if there's any version of Laurel I find the least tolerable, it's crying Laurel. And yeah, I'm going to find her revenge arc difficult to buy.

Morrigan2575 October 9, 2014 Author Share October 9, 2014 I thought it was Ra's but who knows? It would be so stupid to have it be Komodo unless Komodo was the one that killed her and the real mystery is who ordered it. 1 Link to comment
ban1o October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) weel I think it's justified that if Sara, her sister dies right infront of Laurel that' she's going to be pissed. Also I don't think it's Komodo.

I think she's totally justified in being pissed, it's just that unfortunately I'm not interested in watching any of it. I honestly would've been more interested in her arc if she'd taken the first steps toward BC while Sara were still alive. Much as I wouldn't have liked it, it would've felt like the natural progression after the ceremonial handing over of the jacket. Revenge is such a cheap and easy character motivator, and it's one for almost every single character on this show. I just...personally, I don't care. 8 Link to comment

Diggle set out to avenge his brother's murder, but that didn't set him down the path of becoming a superhero. And no, the fact that Sara was a superhero isn't sufficient justification for why Laurel's situation is different than Diggle's. 4 Link to comment

That woman is verging on having as much blood on her hands as Oliver himself. 3 Link to comment

SleepDeprived October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) Thanks for the previews. I see. I remember there were discussions here on when Laurel would have her centric episode since everyone had already been announced to be having one (Diggle in 3.03, Malcolm/Thea in 3.04, Felicity in 3.05, Roy in 3.07). Since it was titled "Sara," most thought it would be about Sara but I guess 3.02 is Laurel's. Well, that settles whether or not I would be watching live or even be excited about the upcoming episode then. As curious as I am about Komodo, this will be one of those episodes I'll be putting off for as long as I can. Edited October 9, 2014 by SleepDeprived 1 Link to comment

msani19 October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 (edited) My problem isn't that the character of Laurel becomes the Black canary, as in the comic and as part of canon. My problem is Laurel as played by Katie Cassidy! Anyone else at this point would be fine with me. She literally sucks the air out of every scene she's in with everyone, takes me out of the show and irritates me. So....IMHO viewers of this show are more outraged at this particular iteration of Laurel not the fact that she's going to be BC. Whatever she has on the producers will keep her employed for years to come. Edited - not even sure if this belong here in spoilers but I figured since we don't know for sure that Laurel will become the FakeCanary, it could go here.

Jessie2009 October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 So since Sara's dead, I'm guessing those scenes that Caity/Emily/Katie were filming while everyone else was at comic con were Laurel/Felicity scenes with dead Sara in the background? Link to comment
Sakura12 October 9, 2014 Share October 9, 2014 We'll also probably see Felicity and Laurel bond over Sara's dead body. Then not only will Laurel replace Sara as Black Canary, she can replace Sara as Felicity's friend. The EP's are probably slapping each on the back about easy everything will be to make Laurel relevant. They can just switch her into Sara's place. Link to comment

The EP's are probably slapping each on the back about easy everything will be to make Laurel relevant. They can just switch her into Sara's place. That is what I fear most. We have seen Felicity crying over the dead body of Sara with arrows sticking out of her body and Roy trying to comfort her. Being the very loving person that she is, she would probably go out of her way to do the same for Laurel and that would suck big time because no matter how good EBR is in her scenes, Katie Cassidy will definitely suck the air out of everything. She is a really bad actress. 3 Link to comment

The EP's are probably slapping each on the back about easy everything will be to make Laurel relevant. They can just switch her into Sara's place. Yeah, I think that since nothing else worked, they are just going to force her where they didn't manage to lead her naturally. Imo, Laurel is now more of a vulture than a canary, since she's preying on her sister's dead body. Another general comment. I'm glad that the Flash did well, for the people who work on it, but I liked nothing in the pilot (not even Jesse L.Martin, though I'm usually a fan) and I have no intention to ever watch another episode. And yet, they already announced two crossovers in 8 episodes this season. The spoilers make it hard for me to hold on to Arrow. Link to comment

When Oliver learns Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) is alive, he suspects Merlyn killed Sara. Oliver and Nyssa join forces and go after the Dark Archer, intent on bringing Sara’s killer to justice. Laurel (Katie Cassidy) keeps her distance from Nyssa, as she blames her sister’s death on her involvement with the League of Assassins. Meanwhile, Oliver and Roy (Colton Haynes) work on repairing their respective relationships with Thea (Willa Holland), who has returned home. Nyssa discusses Oliver with her father, Ra’s al Ghul (guest star Matt Nable). John Behring directed the episode written by Wendy Mericle & Marc Guggenheim (#304). Original airdate 10/29/2014. Source Characters like Merlyn and Komodo are nothing but fakeouts. It's obvious that Sara was killed by Ra's, IMO. Edited October 10, 2014 by strikera0 Link to comment
