Actually, those insisting that Laurel is the Black Canary and not entertaining the thought that Sara might be the actual one rather than the tease are the ones who 'lack imagination'. I was expressing a differing point of view to give 'food for thought', as I stated. Perhaps you should read a post thoroughly and understand every aspect of it before leveling baseless accusations? This is a theory I have postulated before to give food for thought, and I still have a rather amiable 'relationship' with evaba, who is a fan of Laurel. Evaba makes several good points, and I'm not saying I would be against Laurel becoming the Canary one day. But right now, their plan is for a five year run. Oliver and Sara are able to fight multiple enemies at once. Laurel has had trouble dealing with one (as seen in "An Innocent Man"). If the show runs longer than five years (and considering the fanbase, I'd say its got a more-than-decent possibility of doing so) than yes, I can see Laurel becoming the Canary.
Let me be clear: the fault with the Laurel issue is with the writers of the storyline. Laurel has never struck me as a particularly deep character. In fact, she is very much her parents' daughter. The way she reacts when she 'realizes' that Tommy's death is 'her fault' is very reminiscent of Dinah Lance's reaction in "Salvation" once Laurel finds the girl who was supposedly Sara and Dinah reveals that she knew Sara was going with Oliver. There are moments where the character of Laurel has great depth, but the writers don't seem to want to explore it. Considering that they've stated that they're not holding any ideas back when they come up with them, I can only make my comments based on the 'facts at hand', as it were. The 'facts at hand' suggest Laurel might have been the teaser Canary rather than her sister, but that doesn't mean its completely true. I just hope the writers do the character justice, regardless of whether Laurel was just the tease or if Sara is the tease.
