‘Arrow’ season 4 spoilers: Teasing up Sara Lance’s ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ arc
Anyway, “Arrow” is going to be the show where we get a worthy introduction to whatever is happening with this character, and the pits will make for an interesting place for such a potential revival now that Malcolm Merlyn is in charge of them. Based on what Marc Guggenheim had to say on this subject to Entertainment Weekly, it seems like Malcolm will play some sort of role in how Sara ends up being brought back into this world:
“He’s got a strong point of view on [that] … It’s going to be handled head-on. We’re doing a really great episode that really tackles the question of Sara, death and resurrection. On Arrow, nothing is easy, so it’s not as simple as dumping her in the water.”
The main reason we are so fond of this quote is that it does a really great job of reminding us why we do not have that much to worry about. Our primary concern has mostly been whether or not Sara’s death would be cheapened by an easy revival (anyone remember the tea and will power revival Oliver had after being dead on a mountain for four days in the snow?), and this sounds as though bringing her back will be anything but easy. Also, being dead for so long and coming back could change her in radical ways, which should add a really exciting element to her character.

Her death was cheapened by the horrible way it happened and the aftermath that made it meaningless to most of the cast, basically forgotten about by everyone but her father and girlfriend by two-thirds of the way through the season. It was always going to be cheap. because it as a crappy decision and a crappy storyline was crafted around it. Oliver surviving his duel with Ra’s with no explanation other than “willpower” and “tea” was cheap. Malcolm surviving an arrow to the chest with no explanation at ALL was cheap. Everything about this show’s storytelling has been cheap and easy and yet it’s weirdly only the revival of the bisexual woman that keeps being questioned for some reason, I wonder what that is.
