It's one thing to kill her, it's another to introduce a new character and slap on the name Dinah, give her the Canary Cry, and pretend like this was their plan all along. It's a pathetic excuse for them to say, "Look guys! We have the real Black Canary now! We're doing it right!" and then pat themselves on the back for a job NOT well done.

Yeah, this is honestly the most contrived plot twist the show has come up with, and it truly places Arrow at the lowest common denominator for the DCTV shows. There's no saving this show now. Just like Diggle said, they aren't replacing her. She won't be forgotten and she still left an impact. This new one is just carrying on the legacy.
