Arrow - Season 3

That would make sense. I was just repeating something I read on either IGN, CBR, or Newsarama.
 
Katana in the comics, has her husbands soul trapped in h... Sledgehammer used to make love to his gun, and this sword is a person and married to Katanna, so it can't be worse than that... Surely this wanton objectophelia is what the preotection of Marriage people shold be crusading against?

My point was, that in Arrow, that her husband is "currently" still alive.
 
I noticed that they made a point of Ras doing the whole releasing Ollie of debt etc. before the final blow. Ollie was released while still alive.

Ollie took a sword to the lower right abdomen so it would not be immediately fatal. He landed on a ledge, not at the bottom of the mountain. He could still be alive (barely) laying there.

So if they use the Lazarus Pit (and why not?) it doesn't have to be completely mystical. It could be a more powerful version of that healing moss from the island in the first season, along with the regenerative powers of Mirakuru less the super strength and the psychosis.
 
^They've already confirmed Ra's is immortal with the comment about nobody having challenged him in 60-something years. There seems to reason to try to play down the more fantastical aspects of the Lazarus Pits any more, especially with a guy running really fast in Central City.
 
Oliver was stabbed in the gut, and kicked off an icy mountain top while shirtless. Yeah, I think a Lazarus Pit is more realistic than someone surviving that naturally.
 
Planning how to survive losing might have been easier than winning.

I'm guessing if Oliver had won that fight, they would have forced leadership of the guild on him, and killed the boy billionaire if he'd attempted to refuse the honour.
 
I think Ra's is fully aware that Oliver didn't kill Sara, and had no intention of killing him. However, the challenge was there, and needed to be followed through.

He mortally wounded Olly, not killing him yet, and will heal him with either the Lazarus Pit or this shows version of it. Like Guy Gardener said, him winning would have had a lot more consequences that Olly or Ra's would be happy with.
 
No one else watched tonight?

Not the Lazarus Pit after all. Loved Roy tonight, his personality really came out, he didn't feel like part of the set for a change. Great Diggle, Felicity had major drama. Merlyn was beside himself with glee. He is going to pay.
Ollie brought back from death/near death by one of my favourite characters. Looking forward to more of her.
I don't hate the idea of Laurel as Canary as much as I thought would, she looks ok in the preview for next week.
 
This was a great episode. I think it says a lot about a shows supporting cast when you can have an episode is dead until the last scene and it can still be great episode.
Brick seems like he should be a cool villain. I didn't see, did Diggle get to the gun when he was fighting Brick?
 
That was quite an emotional episode. It really felt like Ollie was dead. I was thinking, could the team really function without Arrow? Oliver used to operate by himself before, but it did help that Diggle, Felicity, and Roy became his partners and allies.

How could anyone survive getting stabbed with a sword and falling hundreds of feet off a cliff?
 
He didn't.

They used magic to bring him back to life.

Unless they're playing with time, Oliver's has been in the snow shirtless for almost four days.

That alone should kill him.

The Character, Tatsu, in the comics has a sword that carries the soul of her dead husband, which is magic power of her sword, rather than her own, but it does lay her side by side with necromancy.

(I'm laughing)

What if her hut is built below/near a Lazarus pit, and the pits properties are leaking into her (well) water supply?
 
I'll have to rewatch but I don't think he was lying there 4 days. Maseo found him early in the episode, and quite possibly returned there very shortly after the battle. Merlyn arrived probably around 4 days later, I think at the time this was the argument Felicity was having with the team, that Ollie had been "missing" for 4 days. There was heavy snow when Merlyn arrived, no snow to speak of when Maseo took Ollie away.
From the preview for next week, it sounds like Ollie was actually dead, but was he dead in the way of someone who is brought back with a defibrillator? Did the cold preserve his body the way they preserve a limb someone loses that they later reattach? There are different rationalizations that could explain a non-magical resurrection with only the usual amount of exaggeration of real life science.
Or it could totally be magic, but Armell has already said it wouldn't be the Lazarus Pit.
 
If it was just cpr, Maeseo might have done that before dragging him down the mountain. Oh god, it's not psychic surgery is it?

But yes, of course they were playing with time. Sorry. What happened to Oliver was possibly all during the first day he went missing during.

But is this the first time that we have had two groups of flashbacks set in different timezones during one episode?

Where did the fight take place that Merlin could get there and back in a day between conversations with Felicity?
