Again, not pointless as it was necessary for the story and we haven't yet seen where Sara's story is going once she's back. Dead's dead. Would have sat better if you felt if she was killed nicer? I hardly see how her death was any worse than being stabbed through the heart with a sword like Moira.

Onomatopeia is REALLY hard to do in live action, and he's not even that great. The writers tried to do it before and realized it's a difficult villain to pull off when not on the comic book page. I wasn't even aware that he was a GA villain, much less a MAJOR one. GA's nemesis is the Dark Archer, which they've introduced, and his link to Ra's is organic. It's not like Arrow used Riddler or Joker.
