So ... is the Lazarus Pit kind of like the sarcophagus on Stargate? go in sick/injured and come out physically healthy but mentally ... off?
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Compassionately intolerant
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
In the comics they can bring the dead back to life, heal wounds and restore youth. Though the exact details have changed many times over the years.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I'm eating leftover mac & cheese and watching iZombie.
I thought that would be gross, but it's not.

I didn't think I was going to be able to watch this week's episode but I managed to get through it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Gotham: Why was I completely unable to recognize Milo Ventimiglia until I saw his name in the credits? He totally looks like himself. Weird.
The Flash:
Cop Daddy intershow chats about lying and family and lying to family! Yes!
Iris contributing!
I cannot figure out what “tripled the resonance” might mean. Hm.
Hannibal Bates is one hell of a villain name. Serial killer squared.
iZombie - hey, less voiceover this week, right? What there was worked better for me, anyway. Yesssss, cater to my specific taste, show I like.
Man, I remember when nesting and cocooning were being written about because people were staying home and watching thirtysomething.
Arrow. Dang. What is even happening on this show? It is too much.
That was very Princess Bride-y heading into the Catacombs, yes?

I don't think any part of the Cruella DeVil story worked for me.
