Team GATV Roundtable: Looking Back At Arrow Season 6 & Forward To Season 7

Do you think Black Siren will side with the good guys now?

CRAIG: I kind of hope she is, though I’m sure she’ll still have her naughty side which Katie Cassidy seems to relish in playing.

MATT: I think that’s the direction they are ultimately leading, but they aren’t going to make it so clean cut. Certainly, Quentin’s death has a huge impact on this Laurel, which will cause her to rethink her actions. But I have a feeling she’ll always remain a reluctant do-gooder and one of those whose methods are dubious and extreme in relation to the heroes but ultimately is there to help.

MELISSA: I think Black Siren will target Diaz to avenge Quentin. Beyond that, I don’t see her having much incentive to assist the good guys.

If she follows her previous patterns, she should be on the prowl for a new monster master to serve. Zoom, Prometheus, Cayden James, Diaz. She has a type. Or maybe she’ll decide she’s going to be her own boss for a change and if circumstance align, she’ll work with the good guys, but so far, her helping the good guys hasn’t been about her no longer wanting to do bad things, but her fearing what would happen if Diaz stayed in power.

A lot more will have to change with BS before she would side with the good guys against her own self-interest.

STEPHANIE: I think Black Siren would be more inclined to side with Team Arrow than, say, another team of heroes or villains, but I don’t really see her being willing to put her trust in another team leader after how things turned out with Diaz and what happened to Quentin. I envision her occupying the “Nyssa space” where she’s most concerned with her own agenda, and she’ll team up with Team Arrow if it helps her obtain her goal, but she’s not necessarily committed to their cause.
