The showrunners made a huge mistake when they killed of Laurel, they always seem to find new ways to disrepesct her, and the Laurel fans. Wendy Mericle stated that A Black Canary was important to Green Arrow as if it's some mantle that can be tossed around, it isn't, Dinah Laurel Lance is/was the Black the Canary and to replace her with some random new character who aparently will have the sonic scream that they never gave Laurel. It's not just the Black Canary that's important to the green Arrow, it's Dinah Laurel Lance that's important to Oliver Queen. It's obivous Marc Guggenheim dosn't like Laurel, that man can't be profesionel and Wendy Mericle has no idea what she's talking about ans has no clue whatsoever on how to write for a comic book show, those 2 has done a bad job ever since they became in charge. I'm not saying the show should copy the comics, but it still should follow them, and not disrespect them, it is still a comic book show, an action based show, and if it weren't for the comics then there wouldn't be a show. People keep saying that Laurel wasn't very much like her comic book version, and while i don't know if that's true, i know that Oliver isn't exactly very much like his either, i don't read the comics, i don't read comics, i never have, but i just want a good and well written show, and i know the importants of source materiel. And Marc Guggenheim and Wendy Mericle has proven that they don't know that, season 3 and 4 has proven that. I'm all for Tina joining the team, although i wish she would have stayed an anti vigilanti cop, but if she must join the team, then don't let her become the Black Canary, she has no history with Laurel whatsoever nor does she has the same history with Sara, Quentin or Oliver that Laurel has, let Tina become another vigilanti, i'm sure that they can do that. I still want Laurel to return, come on it's not impossible, Sara is still the only character who was truly dead but came back and people didn't seem to have a problem with that, so i think Laurel desveres the same chance, especially when her death was handled so poorly after she was sidelinded for an entire season, Sara can go back in time and pick ber up from her death bed, take her to the waverider and heal her there, Sara has proven that she cares more about her team than she does about causing an aberration with Stein's daughter coming into play, so she could want to bring back Laurel, or there is always the spear of destiny.
