Oliver's probably not going to be happy to come back and have the Atom be the big hero of Starling.

That would be pretty funny.

Skip more than a month, The ATOM is in full swing and Laurel is a ninja.

Don't tell me no one has told the girl she isn't exactly human!
Well, gently caress...but that is the logical conclusion.

Also, Ras looked a lot bigger during the fight - originally I want sold on him but now I've changed my mind.

Merlyn is alive because Ollie didn't stick around to finish the job but yeah the League has what is essentially magic.

Oh poo poo, I thought Merlyn got Lazarus'd, maybe I should rewatch the earlier seasons during the hiatus. That's what I thought though, thanks folks!

You throw the pokeball, let Magikarp flop around a bit, and then release the Blue Shell once Ra's has gotten far enough ahead of you.

They could go the Lazarus Pit route, but my guess is Ollie's not dead, nor will he die. His buddy from Hong Kong is going to pull him off the mountain top and nurse him back to health.

He got stabbed in the heart and then pushed off the mountain. And Ras established that he's pretty damned old but doesn't look it.

They're totally doing Lazarus Pits.

Nah, Ras just missed the kill shot because he's a scrub, and Ollie landed on a soft rocky outcrop.

Ignore my doomerism, I don't think better things are possible
I'm guessing Ras and his crew are going back to their HQ after the fight, so I don't think Maseo or Nyssa can pretend that they left their phone up on the mountain and go back to perform emergency surgery and nurse Oliver back to health over a few months. The only person who would be there to save Oliver would be Meryln. Merlyn was trained by Ras, and can more than hold his own against Oliver so he knew there was no chance Oliver could win, and therefore there be no chance to get the LoA off his back.

It's kinda silly, but it's the least worst option for having Thea be the killer. At least with mind control there's a sensible motivation to it.

Personally, I'd rather they didn't have Thea kill her because it's dumb as hell, but...well, it makes sense.

Your heart is on the side of the chest he was not stabbed in. So just a lung got punctured.

Man I still cannot process what just happened. I mean what exactly is the big play in all of this? I mean obviously the League is going to be hunting him once they find out he pulled a Merlyn. So is he gonna end up teaming up with Merlyn to go against Ra's for Thea's sake?

Also, calling it now, Katana is the one who saves Oliver. Obviously she's got an investment in all of this considering she probably wants Maseo back, either to reunite with him or murder him.

You find many emergency surgeons hanging out on obscure mountains? I'm sure Ollie can just walk off that punctured lung and multiple broken bones. NBD

Flashback to Hong Kong, where he had that lung moved in a special surgery for reasons.
