^Not really that broken up about it, always thought she was one of the worst things in the show, besides it was kind of obvious seeing as this whole season had the writer's trying to make fans like her (to the detriment of another character).
If anything i'm sad for Quentin, he lost one daughter twice and now his other daughter is probably dead for good (that little talk with Oliver at the end seems suspect). Being Quentin is suffering.

I do not like this at all. I just got caught up with Supergirl and the Banshee's power was what I thought the Canary's "power" would've been portrayed as (though I guess magic helps in the Silver Banshee's case). And now I might not even get to see if that could ever happen with the Black Canary.

Damm. I thought it was Captain Lance who was gonna die. Turns out it was Laurel.
I should have realized it was the Black Canary due to a certain news for The Flash i saw and ignored. Spoiler for The Flash news:

That was a stupid finale. The end battle was just a repeat of the Brick thing from last season, and Oliver finally decides to just kill Darhk, which he should have done since the beginning.
There are also huge ramifications that I'm not sure the writers considered. Having all the nukes explode in space will probably fuck up lots if not all satellites, so goodbye to things like GPS, weather forecasts, etc. Having nukes launched at all (and one hit) for whatever reason would also destabilize the world and lead to problems regarding international relations. Unanswered questions remain: 1) What will happen to Darhk's daughter? I'm thinking she'll be taken into protective custody, getting a new identity, and a lifetime of therapy/de-programming/brainwashing. 2) How did the idol go from ARGUS into Darhk's hands? As for next season, I'm going to guess that Oliver will either turn out to be a terrible mayor, or be overwhelmed with Star City's numerous problems. I'm also hoping that there's a return to the style and themes from the first and second seasons, where stealth and tactics actually matter instead of just charging in with a whole team of people, a focus on the class conflict in the city, and there's no more magic crap. (Of course, there's the possibility that Barry's fucked everything up by saving his mom.) Next season will also be the last year of flashbacks, so there's the possibility it will also the last of this show.

That was okay. A few questions are left hanging like what will happen to Darhk's daughter? I'm also not sure how Oliver will balance out being the Green Arrow and the Mayor. Barry's actions may make all that moot though. Next season should be the last set of flashbacks.
Darhk should have taught his men that if they have guns, then they shouldn't be running up to people to fight them hand to hand. It's like they all forgot how guns work. http://imgur.com/a/srxdn

Well, no surprise, Arrow's quality began declining in Season 3 and led to Wednesday's fiasco, while Daredevil pretty much took over as the gritty street-level hero show. On the Arrow reddit there's a thread titled "What Arrow's seasons 3-5 should have been" that summed up why I decided to watch this show in the first place. In the first season, the present day / flashback structure made clear that the writers had a plan for five seasons, with past Oliver and present Oliver being foils of each other, with the past on the path to becoming the violent vigilante, and the present learning to become an actual hero. But then the original writers went to write Flash and that plan was obviously heavily altered or abandoned. Hence the seasons became less personal, the flashbacks less relevant, and the godawful Olicity ship.
