Teppy, I haven't finished tonight's episode yet, but they finally said the words Lazarus Pit.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
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.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
When Malcolm said "Lazarus Pit," I was SO HAPPY.
I smiled at it thinking how happy you were when you heard it.
I don't even know where Arrow is headed. I am befuddled. But glad for shirtlessness.
Just finished the episode, and this pretty much sums it up. And also, go Felicity!
She's a badass.
Since Malcolm said that the Lazarus Pit changes people, my headcanon is now that, way back in the day, Ra's was just a mild-mannered accountant. Like, he was Cyril Figgis until he got tossed into the pit.
Or maybe Malcolm was a good, family man at one point and got thrown into the pit? Or he took his wife to the pit to save her and something went terribly wrong?
I'm just grateful that they didn't go the "I loved you a minute ago, but I hate you now" road with Ollicity.
So ... is the Lazarus Pit kind of like the sarcophagus on Stargate? go in sick/injured and come out physically healthy but mentally ... off?
That was my sense of it, Todd. Very sarcophagusy.
