    Unexpected but its a fantastic way to end it.Roll on January.
    Great fight but it will be never as good as Spartacus vs Crassus from War of the Damned:pac:

    I loved how one sided that was. He got pummelled. He is in trouble the entire fight. Then at the end near the cliff when Oliver pulls a move and the Arrow music kicks in and you think "Oh Oliver has him now" and Ras just grabs the sword Neo style and throat punches him. :D

    You can only root for a hero if there is danger of him losing. I love seeing the hero get thrashed. Seeing Merlin stomp Oliver in season 1 was one of my favourite parts of the show and this is no different.

    Good episode.

    I was wondering why Ollie didn't swing both swords from opposite directions since Ra's kept dodging to one side.

    I think Ollie will survive the same way Thea survived randomly jumping off her balcony. Unless Ollie's family is like the gelflings from The Dark Crystal and only the girls have wings.

    And Laurel is doing well at not telling people that Sara has died.

    Well my guess is Ollie will of course awake in a Lazarus Pit.... and this will lead to him becoming a servant of the Ra’s for the second half of the season.

    This then gives The Atom his chance to protect the city.


    One other thing if no one has challenged Ra's in 67 years where does Batman stand in this Universe.

    Would be my guess that the reason the mountain is sacred to the league is it contains a Lazarus Pit as a trump card in case Ra's died during the fight, someone will get Ollie in and bring him back, question is who.

    Training in the league?

    I guess they didn't want to tease something they couldn't deliver which is a shame because it could have been done so easily.

    They could have had Ra's say you're only the second man to challenge me in the last 67 years, or making reference to Nyssa taking after her sister Talia in fraternising with outsiders.

    That episode ending really was, in the words of the great Sen. Clay Davis
    "Well Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttt....."

    Good guess, I am thinking Malcolm Merlin as he may have been the last person to challenge Ra's 67 years ago, he will know of the mountain as he was in the league and it was him that told Oliver of the protocol of making the challenge, by saving Oliver Merlin will have an edge both psychologically and personally over him.

    Jesus, I dunno about that. Malcolm doesn't even look to be over 50. I doubt he was the one who fought Raz 67 years ago and thrown into this Lazuras Pitt.id say just every member know where that location is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,482 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Ra's is over 600 years old give or take, the pit slows down ageing and brings the near dead back to life so Merlyn could be older than he looks.

    Anyone figure out whose voice this is?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson

    Bruce Wayne:p

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭TheGoldenAges


    Malcolm Merlin?
    Yeah thought that myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,482 ✭✭✭✭RobbingBandit


    Sounds like Oliver himself, maybe he is going missing again.


  • Posts: 8,756 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Are we going to have an Atom series?

    That's Malcolm without a shadow of doubt.

    I bet Oliver was working with Malcolm all along

    Stephen Amell has said on facebook:
    Thank you so much for the enthusiasm spilling out of tonight's fall finale. I've never had anywhere near this amount of feedback. And by feedback, I mostly mean swear words. There were an awful lot of expletives.
    Seriously though: Despite the title, our show is bigger than any one character. We're going to prove that to you.
    Sit tight... January will be here in no time.

    Casting News
    Marc Singer has been cast as Matthew Shrieve who is the leader of a group known as the Creature Commandos. In 'Arrow' he will play a significant role in the latter portion of the season's flashback storyline.
    Singer's role is slated to be recurring following his debut in the 14th episode

    I loved Thea's " don't make me choose between you and my mass -murdering psycho father, that's so unfair!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,752 ✭✭✭Mr Blobby


    Just watched the finale... Wow!

    Anyone else get a Batman vs Bane in the DKR vibe in the final fight?

    Bruce Wayne isn't a member of the League of Assassins. That was a retconned version of his origin for Batman Begins (which is why they're called the "League of Shadows" in the Nolanverse; BW would never join a league of assassins).

    I think it's safe to say that Batman doesn't exist in this universe, without precluding the possibility that he could someday.

    Not a huge leap to Bruce in fairness. Imagine that they are watching Gotham's ratings with interest
