User blog:Eobard95/Arrow premiere ending - Who saved Black Siren?

Now obviously I’m a bit pissed that nobody major died in 6x01 and I doubt I’m the only one but I guess we all saw it coming and I’m sure we all wished it could’ve been Felicity but I guess all we can do is keep hoping it will happen for real later. In that spirit I’ve got an idea about who saved Black Siren at the end of 6x01 and what it means for the rest of the season. I think it was Cayden James that saved Laurel as he kinda looked like Michael Emerson which means he’s the one that exposed Oliver at the end and is orchestrating Laurel’s attacks which means it’s Felicity’s fault as she’s the reason he’s in the open lol.

If this is Cayden this also gives me a few thoughts about Talia and Nyssa as their fates weren’t addressed. I don’t think Talia is dead just because it would be a waste of an iconic comic character but also because they didn’t address her fate and in these shows when they don’t do that they usually turn up alive so I think she escaped with Cayden and took Nyssa with her. If John Barrowman decides to come back this could also be how they write Malcolm back in as he could’ve left with Cayden as well. Not sure about Evelyn but I don’t really care about her anyway lol.

What I’m curious about is how Cayden knew where to find Laurel or that she existed at all. I speculated sometime ago that Cayden and Adrian were in league because several of Prometheus and Helix schemes were coincidentally aligning, but since Helix helped unmask Adrian I kinda gave up on this idea. But what if Talia and Cayden know each other and that’s why he showed up on the island? If so that means Cayden and Talia are working together which means she’s also one of the main villains of this season. That means that Oliver’s past hasn’t quite finished haunting him yet which would be fitting as Talia convinced him to become the Hood in the first place.

So yea I think Cayden is the one pulling Laurel’s strings at the moment and I think he and Talia are working together and while I am pissed nobody major died in 6x01 I am gonna give this season a chance, though mainly because Slade and Laurel are back. Hey maybe it will work out later and Cayden or Talia will show up to kill somebody major as part of Adrian’s backup plan in 6x09 to finish the job. Adrian did say “I’ll see you on the boat” in 5x23 just like in 5x23 and “Without mom and Felicity” so maybe that’s still a bit of foreshadowing? Little farfetched I know but like I said all we can do is hope.
