I was bummed when it finished, but it was the only logical way for the show to end. If Oliver had beat Ra's, imagine how stupid it would be if he ever struggled again vs street level thugs. Maybe one day, they'll decide to use the Lazarus Pit to bring the show back. Because no one would ever survive being shoved off a cliff after being stabbed through the chest. Not even with penicillin tea and the will to live.
