I too think there should be some consequences to the seaosn 5 finale and I can easily see Samantha dying but I honestly think Felicity should be one of the victims too. It's simply well past time she died.

Vigilante unmasking for sure. Personally I think he may be a brainwashed Roy.

I'd love more Thea I actually really missed her this season. With Malcolm having just sacrificed himself the same way Robert did for Oliver I could see her becoming Speedy again to honor Malcolm's sacrifice.

I'm hoping for more Slade as well. I think he should be a recuring antagonist who works for the highest bidder like his comic counterpart but if a villain screws him over he teams up with Oliver and plays anti-hero. I also think he could appear in the other shows. He has history with Sara and is the reason Ray became the Atom and he also encountered Caitlin and Cisco once so it'd be funny seeing him fight them as meta-humans.

I'm glad somebody else believes E2-Laurel can be redeemed. Malcolm became an anti-hero, Sara was a killer who redeemed, Snart and Mick reformed and even Lawton died a hero so honestly E2-Laurel reforming isn't as unlikley as people seem to think. You also do make a good point about her being a series regular. Villains aren't usually series regulars unless they're false protagonists like Adrian or anti-heroes like Malcolm so this indicates E2-Laurel will be at least somewhat of an anti-hero. Prolonged interaction with her family's doppelgangers through reluctant team ups could make her conflicted enough for Oliver and Quentin to get through to her and she finds redemption for her crimes on Earth-2 as a hero on Earth-1.

I'm a bit two minds about Dinah. I like her but the very circumstances of her existance make it impossible for me to invest in her as Laurel shouldn't have been killed in the first place and when there is another Laurel who despite being a villain, simply provides more interesting story material. So I think Dinah should be shipped off to Legends of Tomorrow so she can grow beyond all the "Laurel's replacement" problems.

I really hope the Bratva are the villains next season as Anatoly has history with Oliver which makes it more interesting. I could see Anatoly's interests bringing him to Star City and sending mercenaries after Oliver but being reluctant to actually harm him due to their old friendship though it steadily declines until he starts taking more extreme actions against Oliver. One of these mercenaries could be Slade.
