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. The worst part about it is that I like the new girl, but the way she was concieved was just so contrived and disrespectful. And not just to Katie Cassidy, but to the new actress as well. Women aren't interchangeable.

Arrow has fucked up so bad that we've ended up with four people named Dinah, and  cycled through four canaries and a siren. What even.
