What Did You Think of "Arrow's" Shocking Death?

After months of foreshadowing, we now know who's in that grave on "Arrow." Did the show kill off the right member of Team Arrow or make a big mistake?


Vote on the poll here.

They killed one of the only characters whose storylines aren't totally played out, as well as what little interest I still had in the show.

We all know how arrow polls will turn out

Dumb. Just the idea of someone dying from the premiere was dumb.

Given that this is going to end ugly, and i dont have an strong opinion about this, this is my reaction:

[JediMindTrick]

Well we already know that Katie Cassidy is going to be on Flash as her Earth 2 counterpart. Therefore I think its likely that this version ends up a permanent resident of Earth 1 and in Starling City.

If E-2 Laurel lives I want her on LoT and well away from the Arrow hacks.

Missing from the poll, is it a fake out?

Let's review:

She's fine.

Oliver and Laurel have a conversation no one sees.

Suddenly she not fine.

Classic story protest the target by making villian think she's dead.

Guggenheim confirmed she is dead and Katie Cassidy has already said her goodbyes.

Like Guggenheim is going to tell us he's pulling a fast one.

Like Guggenheim is going to tell us he's pulling a fast one.

But if he was pulling a fast one, it's unlikely he'd go to such lengths to convince us that he wasn't. If it was a fake out, the public commentary on the death from crew and cast would be much more low key.

The 100 got in trouble with fans because the creator did the same thing.

i hope this doesnt happen here.

How do I feel? I hated it because it wasn't necessary to fridge Black Canary.

If Laurel had been killed of somewhere around season 1 or 2, I would have been thrilled because she used to be really annoying at that time. I always hated how often she gave Oliver crap and was annoyingly self loathing. However I wasn't necessarily shocked but I was sad.
However if Laurel's sister can come back, I'm sure she can too.

The problem is that Arrow already had the problem of overusing the "Death is a minor setback" to the extent that they actually destroyed the Lazarus Pit to take that option off the table. If they make Laurel's death something other than a fake-out I'd hope they would keep it permanent and not give us one more way to cheat death.
