What is Bamford saying? I don't get it.

As for BC, they made the mistake of introducing Laurel in the season 1 as just normal Lawyer. They then didn't start training her in season 2 nor did they take advantage of the whole meta thing. Sara was giving most character trait BC has in the comics a long with connection to LoA/love interest for GA. Now, it is too late. They did this to themselves. They had soo many opportunities to correct their mistakes and they didn't take advantage of it. They can take advantage of this whole Earth 2 thing but I doubt they will. The only thing Felicity has taken Laurel away is the love interest role and that is a whole different case all on its self. And, I am not about to get into it.

I don't think they brought Curtis to replace Felicity but if Felicity dies, they can replace her with him. However, will that happen? The answer is I don't think so.

I have said it again and again, neither BC nor Felicity will be the ones that die this season. Honestly, every season these two characters are the ones speculate about leaving the show for another show or dying.

LOA did not train BC. BC of the comics was against killing and had hope and was all for justice. So while personality was given to Laurel, strength was given to Sara.

Marc doesn't look at the bigger issue. He's like ok we will put her in a costume, give a a collar and laurel fans will shut up.....

Sin aside, why couldn't Katana, Barry, and Hawkgirl form a connection with Laurel. Aka their future teammate of JL.

The show was a romantic soap from the very first episode with the whole you slept with my sister im sleeping with your best friend plotline. It didnt start with oliver and felicity. Hell the green arrow entire origin story is a soap trope Man comes back from the dead after being stranded on an island. Comic books are full of soap tropes. They are also full of romantic subplots.

Oliver being miserable, utterly sad and descending back into the unbridled rage despondent vigilante he was in season 1 is great "character development". Two enthusiastic thumbs up. (sarcasm) All Stephen's words by the way on how Oliver would react to Felicity's death.

Felicity is not just Oliver's light but the entire shows light. Like seriously without her around who is going to bring humor and lightness to the show. Not Oliver, definitely not Laurel, not Diggle, all three of which takes themselves way too seriously. Maybe Thea but not in the same vein as Felicity- so who? The show needs balance, it needs characters who don't wear masks who are relatively normal so they can balance out the characters on the show who do and so there is someone relatable for the audience to connect with who in turn makes the extraordinary of the masked heroes relatable.

Honestly I don't even know why Felicity is even a question of dying after 4x09- they aren't going to almost kill her in the fall finale only to delay and have her actually die like 6 episodes later. If they wanted to kill her she would be dead next episode- which she is not. Not to mention Emily/Felicity are beloved by the cast, the crew, the writers/producers and the President of the CW network. And she is probably the most popular character in terms of media buzz and cultural impact from the show. Id say slightly more then Oliver himself or at least fifty-fifty.

Laurel became a strong contender to me last episode when they had Lance basically utter the most foreshadowing line ever "I don't know what I would do if something happen to you" which generally is a shining neon light that something will happen. But it could also, and is most probably an anvil to make us think Laurel is going to die.

I think both Felicity and Laurel would be game changing deaths, in the fact that the audience would never see it coming, but game changing doesn't mean good for the show and good for the story telling or characters.

Either way I think there will be one less Lance on the show by seasons end and I would still put good money on Quentin. He would create an emotional resonance with the characters and the audience while leaving the least hole in the show line up.

Thanks for the new thread.




Thanks for the pics!

I also find that other comic characters such as Ray Palmer were not written to their full potential.

Everwood was canceled when UPN and WB merged to create The CW. I remember because Everwood was one of my fave shows ever and I was pissed that they canceled it and picked up 7th Heaven for an 11th season?!

Everwood got screwed! It deserved better!

7tth heaven for being an overly setimental show and way too preachy had massive ratings and i believe would constantly share the WB #1 show with Smallville i believe or Dawsons creek. Pretty much it was those three shows plus Buffy that were bringing in veiwers
