Ra's wanting Oliver isn't a rehash because they played out differently. Batman at no point ever said yes, and has more or less defeated Ra's every time they've fought. Oliver had to begrudgingly become his heir. It was a spin on a familiar storyline, but given that we're never going to see Batman on TV (lord knows why not), it's not a terrible idea. I don't see the issue at all with borrowing.

So Felicity needs to go because you don't like how she was written in 1 season? It's not "write her better" it's immediately "get rid of her". Why? The feelings Oliver has aren't out of nowhere. There's always been a clear attraction, even if subtle, and you're blind if you don't see that chemistry between the two actors. Even Stevie Wonder could see it. The writing is a different story.
