Okay, I guess Oliver didn't die, he just somehow survived the massive bone-shattering fall (which they could easily have written to be a shorter fall into snow and not only rocks). But I guess that's still better than herbs bringing him back from the dead.

Would also be a valid explanation. For outdoor use only.

It would also have worked if Laurel just didn't have the device(s) since we only (I think) saw Sara use it once. But since they established she has some (looked like more than one?) I think they should explain why she isn't using the kickass stun thy enemies tech very much.

It would be valid other than the first time Sarah used it, which was inside a police station. Probably just don't have any more and don't know how to make them. Or they didn't want to waste the budget on all that safety glass.

The angle of the landing coupled with the surprisingly rock shaped snow that was so loosely packed it softened the fall. Just run with it. In fact, gently caress it - the intense cold stopped the sword wound from killing him and trace amounts of the magic herb grew on the mountain, sustaining him until Maseo showed up.

That was a big open space though.

Like right now we're just guessing but if the show came out next episode and said it's too dangerous to use in that small room that's fine as an excuse.

I suppose we have no real reason to assume he fell down that whole height in one drop. That's what would have been organ-crushing. If he sorta tumbled/slid/rolled down the cliffs, onto a snowbank, that would have helped significantly.

I actually like Laurel's plot right now and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out but man the actual dialogue they're writing for her is just...really stilted at best. I just don't get it. It's like they take the most innocuous phrases that humans should say and scramble them into clunky-sounding fake TV dialogue. A completely simple and straightforward concept like "I tried to be a hero and it just made things worse" turns into the utterly weird-sounding "I thought being Sara would make it hurt less but instead it caused more pain."

Like, gosh, I know she's trying to uphold Sara's legacy but that doesn't mean she needs to uphold Sara's cringeworthy dialogue too.

I think Laurel will probably go back to him for training after Oliver returns. This whole thing has had an undercurrent of she's not actually ready yet to be doing this.

At least she realized that she shouldn't be using a weapon she hasn't trained with and in the final action sequence just took to beating up guys with a nightstick.

I was wondering why Detective Lance couldn't tell the difference in height between Sara and Laurel, but it turns out that they are roughly the same height. Katie Cassidy just looks like she is 5'10.

Diggle doesn't give a gently caress. He should just start leaving behind 8x10 glossies of himself with "Bring it" scribbled on the front in marker.

Though, as you point out, she's a radically different body type, in an outfit that's very form-fitting. I'm pretty sure if I wore tight clothing, my own parents could distinguish me from my brother, even from a distance.

Det. Lance is just dumb. Or legally blind. People need to stop giving him the benefit of the doubt about Ollie...he doesn't know poo poo about poo poo. Dinah Sr. figured out Sara was dead in 3 minutes.

Joe West is the only competent detective in the Arrowverse.
