"John, I don't want to die down here." I think that's the first time I've heard (unless I'm misremembering) Oliver call Dig by his first name. Shows how much the relationship has developed in two seasons. Dig and Ollie for life
Less the relationship than the character, imho. Now that he's got a white girl and a family he doesn't need to be the sidekick with the silly nickname. That's Roy and his red gimp suit's job, now.

The character was basically off the show already and was kind of a drifter in the first place so its not a big surprise that they just stopped talking about her.
There was some point in the last couple episodes I saw where Roy was talking and said something like "I don't have *any* friends" and Sin was there with this crushed look on her face and it was like bro, she obviously has this unrequited thing going and she's saved your rear end many many times already and you don't even consider her someone you hang out with?

I figured they were gonna angle for some kind of secondary love interest leading to a love triangle thing with Thea or some poo poo, eventually. Even if she's gay (which would be hilarious).

Unless your target is like, more than 40-60 yards away from you. Or you're in a crowded space, point-blank (powder burn) range, it's raining, there's a lot of wind...

You could say that a baseball bat is always going to be better than a knife, but if you were to put two people in a closet and make 'em fight, one with a bat and one with a stiletto, it'd become apparent pretty quickly.

All like, 45 minutes? That sequence was really weird because it felt like ti was literally just one or two afternoons and then boom let's go kill bad guys - now he can use that big bow because his muscles just grew that much in a period of a few dozen hours. Wasn't that whole sequence when they were pushing against some deadline to rescue something or other and only had a day or two to prepare?

There are way cooler versions of that water-slapping story - it would have been hilarious if they tried to make him jump a bush holding a calf when he was done splashing water.

I don't know, from what we've seen on the show Roy and Sin are at best drinking buddies, as in Roy works at the bar she likes to drink at. She keeps calling him Abercrombie.

Vinnie Jones has been cast as Danny "Brick" Brickwell. While in the comics Brick has superpowers (unbreakable skin) it looks like for the show he's just going to be called that because he's tough.

Here's some insight into the big crossover from the actors themselves. Really interesting how they're doing the fighting between Barry and Oliver and how they're having to adapt to each show's filming style.

Why would they be fighting each other? If it's some sort of silly mind control or some stupid misunderstanding between them, bleh.

...Friendship? Again?
We're not taking into account the most obvious conclusion: Barry can't fight. Oliver can. Maybe they're fighting because Oliver is teaching Barry to fight in a way that incorporates his powers.

they fight in the Flash episode. Amell has talked about having to punch in slow motion and one of the creators mentioned Gustin couldn't stop laughing every time he said the line "When I fight you it's like you're standing still". So the bloggers do know something because they've done research that you haven't.
