Yeah, I saw indications of that– but even with her ‘resurrection’, her 'death’ still qualifies as fridging in which (i) she was a female character, (ii) she had no agency in her death, and (iii) her death was solely to motivate another character.
Paralleled that with Roy who was immediately revealed to be dead, and whose ‘fake death’ was a direct result of Roy’s choices.. Maybe I’ve been oversensitive to this trope since the start of this season, but this was a sloppy lazy choice.
thea fought back and got a few hits in, but there was no logical way she was going to win against ra’s. so i don’t see what other way that fight could have gone unless someone came in and stopped it. which then would have given no story for the rest of the season. if roy had died, it would have affected oliver but not enough to become the next ra’s in order to save him.
honestly, it doesn’t bother me because i know thea is coming back and it wasn’t just leading the cattle to slaughter like sara. but i can understand where the frustration comes from. it thea were actually, permanently dead this would be another story entirely.
