"Not Everybody Makes It" Says Stephen Amell On The ARROW Mid-Season Finale

I really hope Laurel dies, she's the only thing dragging this show down

Other Contenders might be Moïra, Thea and Laurels' Dad

Anyone think Thea isn't going to make it?

As long as it's not Diggle or Felicity, I'm good.

Yeah, caught that too...no way Superman is mentioned....right?

I'm starting to think it may be Diggle, outside of the Deadshot arc, he hasn't had much to do. It's been the Oliver and Felicity show for the most part.

Who dies?
1. Laurel? No. Serves no purpose to redo Sarah's death after her return and Laurel wasn't even in part 1.

2. Felicity/Chloe? No. Really serves no purpose at all.

3. Diggle? Possible considering the show doesn't attempt to develop him anyway. Maybe Ramsey wants to move on.

4. Moira? Very possible and would serve a purpose in giving Oliver and Co. a reason to be looking deeper into what's going on in Starling City. And killing Moira could be something of a murder mystery with Merlyn, Ra's Blood and Isabel Rochev as suspects. Moira's death could also open the way for Merlyn to secretly enter Thea's life as her only surviving parent, a revelation Merlyn could help her to discover.

5. Thea? No. They have a storyline developing there, killing Thea would kill it before it begins.

6. Harper? Hell no.

7. Lance? Possible but the show needs the Police connection and all his death would serve is to give Laurel more reasons to pop pills and drink.

8. Shado or Wilson? Doubt that Amell would bother to post a hint about the backstory line on the Island.

In part 1 which is half the story, only one character other than Oliver, had a story in which their life became more dangerous and that's Moira. Moira dies as I predicted a month ago on another thread here.
There is simply nothing more the show can get out of that character that justifies keeping her around.

Alright I've got a couple of theories on this one:

Detective/Officer Lance is the one who dies! This gives Laurel a reason to train/become the Black Canary(thus making her more relevant to the show's story arcs). It also gives her sister Sarah a reason to reveal herself. As a character, the show doesn't really need him anymore because Roy is now helping Oliver in the field and Felicity can provide any police-related information anyway.

Oliver's mom will probably also die at some point. It could be as early as next week, because her story arc (the undertaking) is pretty much over. Killing her off will set the Merlyn story into motion, while giving Thea's character a reason to develop. It also would solidify Malcolm Merlyn as Oliver's arch nemesis (for his responsibility in the death of Oliver's best friend and mother).

As for who will likely survive, I think Sin stays alive and maybe becomes a part of the team (like Speedy aka Mia Dearden). Diggle and Felicity stay alive for obvious reasons, as does Sarah, Roy and Laurel.

I Don't know why Stephen Amell specifically capitalized the words "FLY By", but perhaps there could be a MOS reference.

curiouser and curiouser...

Oh yeah, add Moria, because she has now threatened Merlyn with the whole Ra's al Ghul thing as well as refuses to tell Thea that he is her real father. She also just escaped the death penalty and is a free woman, which would add a shock factor if she gets killed off. It will be set up to look like Merlyn had something to do with it, but it will end up being at the hands of Isabel in order to get Moria out of Queen Industries once and for all.

I think the "something goes wrong at the stakeout" line is there to throw you off. Something will happen, but it won't be Mr. Lance getting killed.

@ManDeth...
Yes, Moria knows Isabel, because Isabel is the one that Robert had an affair with. And I am thinking the same thing, it will be Moria that dies (See above post)

@ManDeth very clever analysis :)

Also I think Shado will die by Slades hands on accident. He will be in a bloodlust rage after the serum and he will accidentally kill her igniting the feud between him and Oliver. Think about it, Sara Lance didn't ask where Shado was, only Slade...

Fly By could refer to Superman.

Or Hawkman or Hawkgirl or Martian Manhunter or Wonder Woman or Green Lantern.

Or maybe a pun on Robin? Or Nightwing? Or any of the Bat family?

I agree with some of the posts here that someone close go Laurel, possibly her dad dies. Also Caity's BC will die, giving Laurel the motivation to become BC. I caught that "Fly By" comment, maybe just maybe a Superman tie in. Great show.
