<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body"> It was clear in season 1 when they killed off Tommy that this was not going to be following the comics. And When I say comics I mean the stuff before the new 52. Infact the Arrow tv series has now influenced the Arrow Comics. From what I understand Moria Queen is still alive and John Diggle and Felicity are now supporting characters in *Team Arrow*. I was shocked they had Moria Queen in at all but then loved what Susan Thompson did with the role and was equally as shocked when they killed her as Tommy. Season 2 was the best, Introducing both Black Canary and Deathstroke so well. As for Laurel. Well....I had issue she was never called Dinah. But then my friend pointed out at times in the comics (mainly the 80s) Oliver would refer to Dinah as Laurel. When they killed Sarah off I was devastated but it made sense...and it was a mystery for many episodes WHO killed her. I hated season 3 because they STOLE Ra`s Al ghul, mistcast him (since when is he Australian) changed his Origin and then had him form a bond with Oliver which is normally reserved for Bruce Wayne. <br/><br/>It would be like having the JOKER be a Arrow villain, some thing's you dont change. But season 4 seems to be much lighter in tone and I like his new costume and the fact his green arrow and everything seemed to be coming together. I miss Roy yes but Its nice to see Thea as Speedy. As for Thea, I was pissed they had her as Olivers sister in season 1 as apposed to Mia Deaden from the comics. Oliver adopts her and takes her off the street. The biggest part of her character is she has HIV and is still livening with it and not letting it define her. Arrow could have been really ground breaking to have her as a character but my feeling is the CW network nixed that idea early on.   <br/><br/>As for Felicity well.....the secret to her success is the fangirls see herself in  her and the fanboys see her as the perfect woman to bring home to mom. The fact she went from only supposed to be in one episode to series regular to leading lady is pretty impressive and all down to the actress. She has chemistry with Stephen Amell which Kate Cassidy just didn't have. I just don't think those two had any chemistry which is surprising that wasn't picked up on when they were being cast. Their scenes seemed very forced even in the pilot and Cassidy had much better chemistry with the actor who played Tommy. Infact having her bone Oliver in the season finale in year one was an insult to Tommy and showed how selfish Oliver is as a person. <br/><br/>In the comics Oliver cheats, he cheats, he carnt keep his dick in his pants. Much like his Marvel counterpart hawkeye. As such in the comics he cheated on Black Canary so many times it was embarrassing. When the heads of DC got them back together after Oliver's death many fans were angerd Dinah went back to him. At that point she had her own comic birds of prey and really come on as a character outside of Green Arrows Girlfriend and to have her forgive him, and then he cheated on her again with John Steels niece, before she accepted his marriage proposal. What im saying is, Oliver SHOULD really stray from Felicity, but can you imagine the backlash that would bring? I would love it, as it would be true to his character and weather or not Felicity can forgive him and accept that is who he is would be bold television. <br/><br/>Arrow has shyed away from some great potential stuff, as I said Thea instead of Mia, and dotn get me started on fucking William. That kid is such a bad actor, and kids don't have to be shit actors. Look at Chandler Riggs on the Walking Dead, he has always been awesome. or the kids on Modern Family. I hope William stays far away. But I Wish he had been called Connor Hawk and I wish he had been mixed race. (Again it pushes the boundary's). <br/><br/>Am I said Laurels gone, no. I feel bad for the Captain lance character, how much grief can that man take? Do I feel bad for the actress, yes. She was obviously sold at the begging of this show she was the leading lady but then slowly she watched Felicity join the show and get fan attention and then more screentime and then Sara lance become everyone's favourite Canary. I don't think shes a bad actress but she was out of her element, whenever she did a fight scene it looked akward and the producers kept saying *Shes learning, shes learning.* But then when the actress who played Thea started to do fight scenes and looked more comfortable it become obvious it wasn't JUST Laurel was learning but that something was getting lost in translation. Katie was the strongest in her court room scenes but the producer's took that away from her....After early season three we stopped seeing Laurel at work all together. In season four shes just been in the background ready to show up when needed. So this death was a long time coming.<br/><br/>I bet Cassidys agents are furious, but if she makes a clean break she might be able to land herself a good series. Who knows? Maybe she will get a great Cable or Netflix series and have the last laugh? Maybe Katie will work far more then Emily in the coming years? Hollwoods a funny thing. But I think she needs a break from the arrowverse, don't keep pulling her back for flashbacks or earth 2. Let her death stick and leave it alone....She was my least fave character on the show and ive bitched about her since season 1 so im not going to back peddle and suddenly say im sorry shes gone when everything ive said up until now has been negative. But I wish her well in her future career and  look forward to seeing her one episode in the Flash. <br/><br/>As for Arrow the Show, I will be watching next season because ive enjoyed this season for the most part. I think with Oliver, Felicity, DIggle, Thea and Curtis (hes going to be a regular next year) we have a strong team Arrow. I want Malcom to die next as he is my other least fave character and id like to see Lilah Diggle become a season regular, shes a good actress and I think she deserves a pay rise. As for Canary, yes I want Sara Lance to come back over to Arrow for a bit to help her farther greive....and her poor mother too....but ultimately I like her on legends of tomorrow and I dont care if she's the White Canary or the Black Canary as long as she's the Canary and she kicks ass.<br/><br/>FLash season 3, yes im interested to see what happens will Wally West and Jesse Wells get the speedforce? Would be cool. But I have to say Wally, like Laurel is miscast. He lacks Wally Wests humor and I don think is a very good actor. I mean Joe West is a brilliant actor and he seems to be carrying the kid in all their scenes together. Now the Actor who plays Jax on legends would have been a much better choice for Wally but I also like him as Jax.<br/><br/></div></div>
