Death still needs to hold weight, otherwise it's no longer sad and characters will be like "whoops they died again, now let's bring them back". and yet they bought Sara back. if she stayed dead then it would have had more weight, impact and emotion. as for the lazarus pit, there's likely more than one on earth or earths, god only knows where they are. Sara's death impacted me, killed at the beginning of season and only a few episodes into season 4, they put her in the pit and she's back after being six feet under for a year. why can't the same go for laurel?
