Arrow Dinah Laurel Lance/Katie Cassidy Thread - Part 1

[KillerMcQueen]

AoS doesn't have such a strict time lapse as Arrow, plus Skye was trained by two super spy's across 18 months at the very least, Laurel has done a bit of boxing for maybe a month and suddenly she's going to be a full on vigilante. It doesn't matter to me in truth as this is a comic book show, license to take liberties with the dreaded "realism" is fine IMO.

Except we know that it isn't going to play out that way, and that Laurel won't be a full on badass just because she's put on her suit. We know she's going to have that learning curve for some time even after suiting up.

So she puts on her fur boots when she fights crime?

LOL!

Yes. Give me the 1980s Jane Fonda Workout Video Black Canary.

 

[coluanprime]

Look more carefully, I'm guessing the boots are for shots that don't show her feet so that she can actually move for stunts.

 

[SpideyVille]

The boots are most likely for the blocking scenes. It makes no sense to keep an actor in uncomfortable clothing, or clothing that can be damaged, when they're not shooting the actual scene.

laurel already know's how to fight/defend herself not like a pro but still enough to take down a few bouncers (dont compare her to that skye on aos) katie is better by FAR. remember season 1 when she defended ollie and tommy at the club. looked like she could throw down pretty fine to me. i can understand her needing to train again after all the drugs ect and going down hill.

aos = lame children show.
arrow = baddass(.)

seriously aos. what a bad show.

So the backtracking begins

In what ways do the ramifications of tonight's episode set up the Black Canary arc and lay the groundwork even beyond that?

The one thing I want to clarify -- and I don't know how this happened -- it got out there in the ether that we were doing a Black Canary arc. That's not really the case. In episodes 10, 11 and 12, there's some pretty huge growth for Laurel and big steps taken on the road to becoming the Black Canary. That said, it's not the Black Canary show. I'd say episode 10 is all about Team Arrow and dealing with the ramifications and the aftershocks of 309.
Laurel's road to becoming the new Black Canary continues to be travelled
Roy, Felicity and Diggs really come to the fore in 10, 11 and 12, for reasons I think will be pretty clear by the time you see episode 9.

I don't know where he got that giving her 3 episodes would make it the Black Canary show. 3 episodes out of 23 is nothing.

Hmmm... someone is notably absent from this photo.

Oliver's death confirmed.

Andrew Kriesberg: next few episodes is going to be "Laurel-centric" I can even reveal ep. 13 will be called "Canaries"
Marc Guggenhiem: episode 10, 11, 12, will not be Laurel-centric. I don't know where you got that from. They're going to be Team Arrow centric

 

[SpideyVille]

I was hoping we would have seen a sneak peak at Laurel in action in the promo ... She's supposed to be in costume by the next episode right?

 

[yonny616]

@SpideyVille I think she's suppose to be in costume by the end of the episode.

Some fan art I did. A friend of mine will be coloring this (hopefully) soon.
