Just finished the last episode of season three of Arrow, and yeah, off he drives into the sunset with Felicity. And I like Felicity. I'm glad the writers made their romance happen. But you know what? I'm not glad they killed off Sara Lance, AKA the Black Canary. She was a better match for the Arrow, and she was the better Black Canary. I completely disagreed with the reasons why, and how, they killed her off. And I disagree with her sisterly replacement. Why? Because her sister, Laurel Lance, taking Sara's place, is a very weak Black Canary. Very weak, indeed. As the Black Canary, Laurel is not convincing at all. She looks no tougher as the Black Canary than a real canary, even with the black outfit. And seeing her beat up dozens of ninjas was laughable.
Oh, well. At least Felicity finally got Arrow, AKA Oliver Queen. Emily Bett Rickards has played the part of Felicity to perfection. I mean this young actress is a better actress than most of the A list actresses in Hollywood right now. I expect some great things from her in the near future. She's only twenty-five right now, so she's got at least a solid decade ahead of her.
As for Stephen Amell who plays the Arrow... Yeah, he's been great. He makes a terrific leading man. He's 34, so he too has at least a decade ahead of him in like parts. For now, the Arrow character, or the Green Arrow, as he's better known, is a great role. He's perfect for it.
Don't know if I'd cast him as Trent Smith, though. Maybe. My first choice remains Dustin Clare. Then Stephen Amell. Both make great fighters, and both would fit the part of a lady's man. Those would be the requirements. Don't have to worry about it now. I'm interested in how the Arrow returns in season four. I think it's safe to say he returns as the Green Arrow. It's been a long time in the development. But it worked. We'll see.
