A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Do we know Sara was in Starling at Ra's's behest, though?
We don't, but I'm pretty sure she told Laurel she was in Starling on assignment, so Ra's or someone high in the League wanted her there.
Even if that's the case (I don't remember what she told Laurel), I don't see why the archer can't be Ra's. Malcolm Merlyn is obvious, but still doesn't make sense, given her reaction. It would have to be someone she knew, someone who wouldn't make her immediately run or go into fighting mode, and someone who's a skilled archer. That would be Ra's or possibly Nyssa.
I don't know. I'm assuming it's someone new. I imagine Nyssa or Ra's would elicit more than a "What are you doing here? "
Clearly at some point we'll find out.
I think the proper protocol for when Ra's underlings meet him is to kneel and avert their eyes.
Is it still called fridging when it's to motivate a female character?
Is it just to motivate Laurel, though? I'd be shocked if it didn't motivate Oliver. It will certainly give him more manpain to work through.
The point of "Women in Refrigerators" is that the victim is treated as a disposable character, so yeah, sure, that can still happen if it's to motivate another woman. You don't think that Tara was fridged?
I think this is an absolutely necessary step to get Laurel to be Black Canary. It will affect Ollie because it's his show, but it's only going to pass as character development for her.

I thought it no less importantly about whose mill you're gristing.
You don't think that Tara was fridged?
You'd be surprised, apparently.
I thought fridging applied to women whose *only* purpose was to be motivation for someone. What happened to Tara was kind of Greek tragedy-esque, just as she and Willow are getting back together, she dies.
I see fridging as what happens in other shows where the main character falls in love with someone new, only to have the loved one die.
I guess the Bonanza version was root cellaring?
