Dinah's future aka Dinah's past (spoiler if you haven't seen 5x11)

OK, so in 5x11 it is revealed that Oliver and Co. meet Dinah Drake.

I do not know if the maiden name of Sara & Laurel's mom (played by Alex Kingston) had been revealed on the show. But in the comic books, there was a Black Canary named Dinah Drake who married a cop named Lance and they gave birth to Black Canary #2 named Dinah Laurel Lance.

I was noticing that the new actress Juliana Harkavy does resemble a younger version of Alex Kingston a little bit.

What if the reveal is that Alex Kingston's character is a time traveler who was Black Canary with Oliver in 2017, then goes back in time and meets Quentin Lance, and becomes the mother of Sara and Laurel?

The connection here is that when Quentin and Dinah split up, Dinah Lance moves to Central City. In the last episode, Dinah Drake is a cop from Central City. Who was in love with a cop.

Imagine a scene where Oliver meets with Laurel & Sara's mom and gets some answers. Of course, this might mean that Dinah Lance knew about what was going to happen to Sara and Laurel, and why would she let it happen?

In addition, imagine a scene where Quentin meets the new Black Canary. Would he recognize his young wife?

Does Dinah Drake get sent back into the past via the Waverider, or by accident?

Is time travel the sort of thing that Arrow wants to involve itself in? In the last few episodes, we have had metahumans, alien spaceships, the Waverider....

A simpler alternative...Dinah Drake is the niece of Alex Kingston's Dinah and Laurel and Sara's cousin.

I think the best way to resolve the Dinah Drake story is for her to be a time traveler and the younger version of Laurel and Sara's mom. Juliana Harkavy is a dead ringer for a younger version of Alex Kingston. For some reason Sara had to pull her mom out of the early 1980s and dropped her off in 2012, where she was affected by the particle accelerator. This could be a future episode of Legends this year.

Tina Boland was the fake name she used for everything because Dinah Drake was born in 1963. Sara told Dinah that when she eventually meets a man named Oliver Queen to tell him her real name. This is why Dinah was insisting on Sara being alive when Quentin and Laurel thought she was dead after the Queen's Gambit went down. And, why Dinah knew Sara had died when she met with Laurel during Season 3.

She probably didn't want to change the future even though she had knowledge of it out of fear of messing with the timeline and causing more problems. But this could open the door for Laurel's return because Dinah would go back to the early 80s with the knowledge of how Laurel died and older Dinah convinces her younger self to change it this time.

This idea of course falls completely apart if Quentin meets Dinah and doesn't react.

That is the best to do it but I am afraid that CW writers aren't that smart.

Re: Dinah's future aka Dinah's past (spoiler if you haven't seen 5x11)

Quentin would recognize his wife. So no this is not her. I know you want them to follow the comics, but they could care less about what you want. Sorry. They don't know what they're doing with this show, just some random crap that they pull out of their ass

Re: Dinah's future aka Dinah's past (spoiler if you haven't seen 5x11)

He hasn't seen her yet.

Re: Dinah's future aka Dinah's past (spoiler if you haven't seen 5x11)

He will and nothing will happen, I'm telling you these writers don't think as deep as we do
