I said this in the last thread and I have to say it again, this should've been a scene.

I still think Laurel can get the metahuman canary cry still since Cisco and Caitlin has yet to get their powers but I think the show will stick with a tech based canary cry.

Getting anything on Arrow‘s Laurel Lance/Black Canary storyline for Season 4 is like pulling hens’ teeth. Have you heard any spoilers about Laurel that are not Sara- or Quentin-related? –Apple
Since you asked so nicely…. Laurel is “fully arrived as Black Canary when we come back [on Oct. 7],” co-showrunner Wendy Mericle previews. “There’s no more learning curve.” But there are still struggles for Laurel as a costumed crimefighter. For one, “She has a secret identity; how does she grapple with that? And she’s an ADA, so what kind of impact is that going to have on her decisions as Black Canary — and vice versa?”

I am pretty sure there will still be learning curve but this time it is the balance of day job vs night job. I don't think the scoop indicate that they rushing Laurel to become a master hand to hand combat and talented fighter already

 

[Primal Slayer]

...I don't think so either.

 

[Herolee10]

I'm still shocked that they haven't announced a character set to be used as a love interest for Laurel this season. So far, every character of Team Arrow either already has a love interest or is scheduled to get a potential one down the line.

I really wish Laurel would at least have a conversational scene with Barry. I'd feel like they'd make a great brother/sister dynamic for the show.

Really? Because by the end of S3 she was taking on multiple members of the LOA and holding her own (a couple of those guys gave Oliver and Sara problems and they had MUCH more training/experience than Laurel did). But then again, the LOA got nerfed/jobbed out BIG TIME last season, so there's that.

I'm kind of surprised that Thawne didn't already know that? He seemed to already know a bunch of other things, including that Oliver was GA.

If you really want to think about it, the events of Flash and Arrow raise a lot of questions because of the time travel aspects.

I've mentioned before, before Barry went back in time, Cisco was killed. If Cisco had stayed dead, Laurel never would have met him and never got the Canary Cry. You also have to wonder, if Barry would have become the Flash as it was originally planned, years later, how would that affect the outcome of things from Arrow? Like who would have saved the team when Ra's locked them away, or would Oliver have ever faced Ra's? Would Sara have ever died to begin with.

If you really try to think about it, you're left with more questions than answers, so who knows if Laurel would have ever taken up the mantle had Sara never died. So it is possible that Wells wouldn't have known because it didn't happen in the timeline he came from.

I don't know. I don't think the particle accelerator explosion had an effect on Malcolm's decision to kill Sara. Laurel would have still had the sonic device Sara had though. That would have likely been her way of doing it. I wonder where that came from?

What I'm saying is that the timeline that the Flash is set in, which inherently affect Arrow as well, is an alternate universe. The original universe has Barry becoming the Flash much later, but with Barry's mother being killed, a lot of things are affected, despite how much that single event can be looked at as an isolated incident.

That's what the Flashpoint Paradox set to prove, because that created a second, or in the case of the show, a third, timeline. That one event leaves ripples which changes so much more. The problem is that t gets too complicated and the show tries to simplify it.

Like you said, the show simplifies it, so I don't think they're going for that ripples idea.

For all we know, in the timeline before Eabord interfered Sara may not have even existed or she may not have gotten on the boat with Oliver, or she did and she died or she was killed a different way which spurred Laurel into becoming the black canary. Personally I pretend the previous timeline is the Smallville timeline, which helps me because I think Alaina Huffman bares a resemblance to Katie Cassidy.

That could explain why so many actors appear on both shows as different characters lol

But I wouldn't prefer the Smallville universe because Oliver doesn't end up with Dinah, just like now it seems like he'll end iup with Felicity. There's just something about computer savvy blondes that get the TV Oliver's freak juices pumping.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Looking back at all the live action adaptions, it's funny how different all of them

She was more like BC. She had the canary Cry.

They hinted that the daughter, Dinah, could have it too, but they never got the chance to play it out. I own the dvd for the show.

Eh. They could have gotten divorced at some point. But I don't want this version of Oliver with Laurel. And it's not Laurel's fault. It's Oliver's.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It never occurred to me that Katie's father played Mirror Master on the original Flash series. They should have both of them together on Flash. And her grandfather played a villain in a Superman musical back in the day. She's a real life DC legacy actor.
