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!

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.

I'm confused about the Lazarus Pit. Do you have to be mostly dead, but like slightly alive? Or does all dead also work?
So Malcolm is all, now that the league's not after me I can be all out in the open normal daddy again. Did he forget that Starling City authorities might want to have a conversation with the man who's not actually dead but famously responsible for the death of thousands in the partially successful "Undertaking"?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
In the comics, a character resurrected in the Lazarus Pit can be however as dead the plot calls for. Typically, though, the more dead the character is, the more Wrong he or she comes back.
