Are there 15 good decisions they have made? Ill give some. -Felicity getting shot, making her stuck in a wheelchair for a while ;-) -Prometheus -Ragman -Finally having the Russia flashbacks Interesting choices. I'll give you that. Felicity being shot was one of my favourite memories in the Arrowverse and her being a superhero and getting killed once and for all in the alt universe was a dream come true. Too bad the Legends had to alter time to bring her back. Couldn't they find a way to keep the bitch dead?  Prometheus wasn't half bad, Ragman was good while he lasted but disappeared from the show and Russia was fun but Dolph should have been alive in the present. Since I'm feeling generous tonight I'll give them some more. Reverse Flash in season 1 of The Flash, Malcolm Merlyn in season 1 of Arrow, Tommy dying to save Laurel, Earth 2 Killer Frost, evil Killer Frost last season, Deathstroke killing Moira Queen, Oliver having to choose between Sara and Shado and Saturn Girl having off camera sex with Psi. |

I don't know why but I always thought Ra's created the Lazarus Pits. Can't remember if I read that or am mismembering. But I thought Ra's used let lines to find spots on the planet best suited for his needs. Then he had the pit dug and filled with all kinds of chemicals.   |

I don't remember but it is possible they did. Still, it doesn't really explain how it kept him alive all these years 'cause in the comic books and Arkham games Ra' had to use the Lazarus Pit multiple times to stop himself ageing and he would wait until he was old and then use it again and come out young and it was said the Lazarus Pit corrupted him from years of using it and he was a hero at one time like Batman who nothing like the man he become. Plus wasn't there also something powering the Lazarus Pit to work like in the Arkham games you could see it going all around Wonder City in tubes and in the Arkham games it was the same slime that transformed Cyrus Gold into Solomon Grundy that Ra' used to create the Lazarus Pit after Ra' and his League of Assassins captured Solomon Grundy and done all these tests on him to find out what made him live for so long and keep coming back. The difference between Solomon Grundy and Ra' al Ghul though was Cyrus was hit by lightning when he was floating around in the slime and that made him into a giant zombie. Ra' took the slime and perfected it to create the Lazarus Pit. I am not sure how they explained the creation of the Lazarus Pit in the 'Arrowverse' but the Arkham games weren't the first time they connected it to Solomon Grundy.  ....
I'm not sure but this is why I don't pay too much attention to specific variations of adaptations as it can all be different but all work just as well, putting too much stock into one version over another just causes issues, I'm more nitpicky about discrepancies when it's all meant to be in the same universe and stuff.

I liked the choice of actor and portrayal for the most part, the usage of the character however left me wanting, which of all things to have issue with not having enough of a character says you did something right atleast, no idea how others feel as again I'm not a comic reader and I have seen about half a dozen if not more variations of the character through different shows and films, so I have no concrete this IS Ra's Al Gul picture of how he's meant to be, but I liked him just kind of wish there was more to him for the season, then again it's Ra's he has a habit of popping back up so he may still have more to offer for all I know, Ialso haven't kept up on Gotham as I think I'm either 3 or 4 eps behind at this point so no idea whats going on in the show at the mo. |

Yeah. You have a good point there 'cause various adaptions have been known to change things and many of them don't seem to stick with the same version of events which can be confusing especially when it is separate stories that are coming out at the same time and in 'Gotham' we seem to have a very different version of Ra' and the League of Assassins than what we have had in the 'Arrowverse' and we have had a Ra' who actually does a lot of his own dirty work which is surprising 'cause most versions of Ra' I am familiar with have him sit him back and have his League do everything for him unless he is forced to intervene. Speaking of 'Gotham' we are watching the latest season of that now on Foxtel and I am curious what your thoughts are on their version of Ra' and the League. I am disappointed they didn't use this earlier version as a chance to bring in Lady Shiva 'cause Lady Shiva was one of the original members of the League and turned on Ra' and went her own way and they recently announced an actress whose name is Shiva is joining the show as a member of the League of Shadows but she isn't playing Lady Shiva.  I liked the choice of actor and portrayal for the most part, the usage of the character however left me wanting, which of all things to have issue with not having enough of a character says you did something right atleast, no idea how others feel as again I'm not a comic reader and I have seen about half a dozen if not more variations of the character through different shows and films, so I have no concrete this IS Ra's Al Gul picture of how he's meant to be, but I liked him just kind of wish there was more to him for the season, then again it's Ra's he has a habit of popping back up so he may still have more to offer for all I know, Ialso haven't kept up on Gotham as I think I'm either 3 or 4 eps behind at this point so no idea whats going on in the show at the mo.  |

I am biting my tongue so badly. If I knew how to use spoiler tags I wouldn't hold back.

If you can see the mark-up buttons, just highlight the text and click the spoiler button.
If not, like if you're on a phone, put the word spoiler between these types of brackets [] to start the spoiler tag, and then close it, it's basically the same tag, but you put a / in front of spoiler.
So it should look like [ spoiler ] [ / spoiler ] but without the spaces.

Okay. Thanks. I haven't seen the spoiler buttons on either my Kindle or desktop. But then I'm not sure what they look like.
Feel stupid I didn't think of manually typing them in. Guess it's been a long time since I've done that and forgotten all about it.

Guess it's been a long time since I've done that and forgotten all about it. It's the little guy that looks like he's picking his nose (or shushing, I suppose...) On my desktop browser, it's the last icon out of all of them. If you mouse-over the icon(s), it'll show the title of what it is. |

Oh God dammit! I never thought of clicking him because I thought he was a second set of emojis. Not sure why that made sense.
Thanks for taking time to fill in the clueless.

Ra's is resurrected to take the League back from Barbara. he would come back 'cause he plays a big part in Bruce's life later when he is Batman and there are still his two daughters as I mentioned above that we haven't seen yet. Who were Talia and Nyssa's Mother/s? I don't seem to recall ever reading about their Mother but they had to have one. Talia and Nyssa might appear in the show next season depending on what they are doing with them in the 'Arrowverse' but I am pretty sure Talia will be back to get revenge on Oliver. I heard The Riddler and Solomon Grundy were killed off? I can see Solomon Grundy easily coming back 'cause Batman killed him multiple times in the comics and scattered him into pieces and ripped out his heart but he still kept coming back but I am not sure how they will bring back the Riddler.  |

Damn. I just clicked the spoilers and I didn't know it was going to be that for everybody. This is awesome. We're going to see the Riddler and Lee die. Who kills the Riddler? The only time I liked Lee was when she was infected. |

Lee and The Riddler shoot each other. Wow. I didn't expect them to die like that. In the episodes we are currently watching Ed is back to being Ed again and has given up being the Riddler but if he is dead now I assume they will find a way to bring him back as the Riddler and his Riddler persona will take over completely.  |
