It's not the character herself. Dinah's personality and her acting is all decent. It's just the fact that had her so forcibly replace Laurel, which was just disgusting. She was done solely to make a Black Canary more like the actual comics Black Canary, complete with the canon name and the backstory of her lover getting killed. But it was just so lazy they did so by killing off the character they already had and just shoehorning in a new character. That's not how TV works, you fix a character, not kill her off and substitute her with a fan pandering replacement.

I'll admit Flashpoint could have been done a better, but the premise really intrigued me. Now Barry had to face up to consequences of his irresponsible time travel and learn to mature, as well as giving some really awesome moments with Jay Garrick. I usually don't mind a secret identity storyline, but this one just went on for far too long. Plus the clues just sucked, where people drew the theory from a grammar mistake. Nah sorry, didn't like the Save Iris storyline. Not that I have anything against Iris herself, but it just started getting irritating hearing Barry always say "we're one step closer to save Iris" "we're doing this to save Iris". Yeah so Iris suddenly became queen of the world, far more important than Dante.
