Arrow's writing improves in that the characterization (why characters choose to do things) and plot (the reasons why characters are compelled to do things) drastically improve as the show goes on. But the dialogue varies greatly from episode to episode, with a real weakness towards overstating things and brightly outlining themes.

Bad Moon posted:Jokes on us, the Lazarus Pit doesn't have any liquid in it. It's regenative powers come from the combination of granite and snow when impacted by a human body falling from a certain height. Magic herbs from Katana lady were grown near the Pit, so they sucked in all the resurrection properties. Also, some of them happened to grow on the spot that Oliver fell on (smashing them , hence they acted like a restorative balm). Because wild herbs are cool like that, and it was quite fortunate that he didn't have a shirt on, because the balm acted directly on the wound. There, immersion restored.

Not until someone is immersed in a lazarus pit.

Turns out the twist with TV lazarus pits is instead of turning the revived character insane it makes the audience in to a bunch of whiny comic dorks.

He had a picture of a male stripper teabagging his forehead two weeks back. He's not shy. As he shouldn't be. If i was gay, i probably would too.

I know there has been a lot of talk about Diggle being the Green Lantern, I don't know much about the GL but wouldn't that make him way to powerful for this TV show?

Well, that would be the trade-off. If Diggle ever got a Lantern ring, it would be the end of him as a regular cast member. He'd probably have to spend a season or two off training on Oa, and even after that he'd be too busy dealing with galactic threats to hang out with Ollie and punch criminals. Ideally he'd get his own show, but I doubt the CW has the budget for it (unless they go the Stargate route and have every alien planet look like a forest in Vancouver).

I was reading a bit about the John Stewart GL and it said he refused to wear a mask...guess it really does fit.

Regarding 3x13: That's not Thea as a Canary, that's Caity Lotz. It was already established that Laurel will be taking on Count Vertigo in that episode and will end up fighting a hallucination of Sara as a result. E:VDay already mentioned this five pages ago.

I'm still thinking the Lazarus Pit is going to happen at some point. That Japanese girl has spent the last few episodes doing nothing but telling Ollie he's taking "penicillin" and that she won't join him in the city. She's probably going to show up when he decides to stop taking his Lazarus juice.

People are open to the idea of a Diggle Lantern because Green Arrow/Green Lantern is an established pairing in the comics, though I've never read them so like Phylodox I think it seems like too much of a power discrepancy for the show

Katana is actually dead, Oliver is dreaming everything that's going on in this half of the season. At the end of the season, he's going to be shown shooting up out of a Lazarus Pit as Ras and Maseo look on.

Maybe we're just missing the flashbacks that confirms that Merlyn's real role in the League of Assassins was to provide entertainment for Nyssa's birthday parties. And the reason that he is now hunted is that he missed Nyssa's 18th birthday party, and ol' Ras really hates to see his little girl cry...
