Lance has never had the clearest judgment. But it’s the other thing that really makes no sense.
DIGGLE: <shoots guy in the face>
OLLIE: Thea, you’re HURTING that man!
Based on his name and his brainpower, I agree he’ll be Mr. Terrific, but he shouldn’t be. The kid’s too tiny to be Mr. Terrific. That kid is…what? 120 pounds soaking wet? Mr Terrific should be huge. Actually, if it’s not going to be Diggle (and it should be, dammit), the other black guy–the hardass corporate exec–physically looks the part. The kid is a much better actor, but seriously–I’m not buying him as Mr. Terrific.
Also, Drake–Black Canary’s daddy–his (fake?) accent was charming in the first few seasons, but he’s laying it on so damned thickly that he sounds like a cartoon character. Also, the character can’t make up his mind if he’s a total douche or a total hypocrite. Either way, the character is seriously getting annoying.
I am also wondering what the limit on the Lazarus Pit is. Would it resurrect Otzi the ice man? Lucy? (The Australopithecus, not the peanuts character)
Brian
A few years back, Ras threatened to use it on Thomas and Martha Wayne and Bruce thought it would work, so at least ~25 years.
I know Marvel did big zombie thing a few years ago, and DC did it with Blackest Night, but have they ever considered spraying the planet with the liquid from the Lazarus Pits in order to bring about a mass raising of the dead?
The handwave they’ve given with the Lazarus Pit is that there’s only a few in the world and each one is only good for a few resurrections per year/decade/century/whatever’s convenient for the story before they have to renew themselves. There was a story a while back (2004-ish) about Bats going around the world blowing up the few remaining working Lazarus Pits.
Well, clearly the ironclad rules of logic and consistency comic books are known for means that they could never do anything like I suggest. 
Heh–you want “ironclad rules of logic and consistancy”, check out what the Lazarus Pit does. Depending on the story:
- Except for Ras, it raises the dead as something like a high-functioning zombie.
- It brings you back…but eeeeevil. If you’re already eeeeevil, it makes you eeeeevil-er.
- You come back, but soulless (no real info on what this actually does.
- You come out of it just fine (outside of being a crazy rage-monster for a while. But all versions have this side-effect)
- Sort of something between 4 and 5. You come back fine…the first time. Each subsequent time it’s used, you become more soulless/evil.
Internal consistency has never applied to the Lazarus Pit. 
T-Spheres. We see T-Spheres.
I like assertive Felicity laying down the law to Diggle and Queen. I hope we see more of that instead of weepy Felicity from last season.
Yeah, I liked that, too.
And while I don’t want Felicity going out ‘in the field,’ it might be a good idea for her to have some firearm training. I was cringing like crazy when she was firing that gun and hitting pretty much everything but her target.
So, how does reviving Sara in the pit allow Thea’s bloodlust to be cured?
Oliver taking a ‘bullet’ for Diggle just reinforces my notion that Diggle ends up dead.
Was there an implication that it does?
Malcolm did say something like “you will have the bloodlust until you kill the one that hurt you”, which strongly makes me suspect that she will end up killing him. But I don’t think there’s an implication that that has already happened.
Definitely a fun and goofy episode.
That hipster doof is supposed to me Mr Terrific? Bleh.
Ollie’s Island gets about as much traffic as Gilligan’s it seems.
So any theories on what’s up with Felicity’s phone?
Malcom told thea that he would do anything for his daughter and was raising Sarah as evidence for that - nothing could ‘cure’ the bloodlust except the occaisonal bloodletting, and maybe Malcom was going to sacrifice parts of his army to her. The only thing that could cure her bloodlust was to kill the one that hurt her.
Thea’s response was that ‘Ras was already dead’ - but the reality is that Ras is only the on that ‘almost’ killed her - not neccisiarily the one that ‘hurt’ her - which could either be malcomdaddy or olliebrother.
Next week, the Harlem Globetrotters!
It’s going to be Palmer, aka ‘The Atom’ - remember, he was working on miniturization tech when things went boom.
“Felicity, I shrunk the CEO”
From the last episode, episode 3:
Whiny Sister: “Thanks for the fatherly advice! Can you just for a, a second pretend to be a normal father?! Can you do that dad? Do you have anything remotely normal to offer me?”
“Normal” Evil Jack Harkness Dad: “Alright… There is something, high in the mountains… A man! Some call him a sage, he has a way with the ancient… [awkward pause] Arts of healing!
Blablabla
Proud “Normal” Jack Harkness Dad: “…Now, does that qualify as being normal?”
Grumpy Frumpy Whiny Sister: “Normal enough!”
Just thought it was a funny exchange. I watch this show for the writing!
Yep, as both shows seem to be ramping up for the DC Legends debut. The Flash has been prepping Firestorm and Captain Cold, and Arrow is gearing up The Atom and… Canary? So Palmer also returning from the dead seems about due…
And seriously, are we sure Ollie wasn’t in Hawaii? Some of the islands there see less traffic!
I’m thinking that’s gotta work out poorly for Thea…
New lair!
