"Laurel's death as pointless as it was, has shaped much of this season involving Oliver's character."

Yeah, these statements are contradicting. Something can't be pointless but also have a point. Just say that the death had meaning. It is much easier and it doesn't lead to you writing a contradictory statement. Other than that this theory is very good at explaining Adrian/Vigilante's backstory. Personally thought they were going to have a love triangle with that DA when he was mentioned earlier on Arrow. Turns out they were saving him to be an ally/enemy to Oliver.
