That's when Roy and Diggle kiss, though.

They're all "What up, my niggle, Diggle?" And then, "Jus- chillin', my little boy, Roy."
And then Felicity bumps into Roy and and he falls on top of Diggle, who was relaxing on their basement-hideout sofa.

Eleven Tumblrites exploded when they screened a work draft of that episode. The eleventh was just masturbating to My Little Pony fanart, but they still count that explosion as a win.

Amell confirms that Laurel isn't going to turn into a badass this season. Also some other interesting background stuff, all around a good watch.

The boxing glove arrow was awesome, and i was happy that cleared up the Roy thing right away, instead of him waiting half the season to mention it. But i thought the bad guy of the week was really lame, it was a bit silly that a normal guy with a gun and a car make the Arrow team look like noobs.

I didn't watch the video so I don't know if he says anything about it, but my guess has been Laurel gets enough from Wildcat to go start vigilantizing and then Ollie breaks down and decides to train her around the finale so they can skip ahead 5 months of training when season 4 starts. Or depending on how the League situation shakes out Nyssa maybe.

I always pictured the Wildcat from BTAS, a kinda larger guy - I don't care about the age. This one in Arrow ALWAYS brings me out of the show for a minute whenever I see him. He's just so tiny and unimposing - should be called BalletCat or something instead.

Also, I know you guys love Katrina Law, so now you can watch her in a made-for-TV romcom movie (from a year ago), Snow Bride.

I'm interested to see where the Japan flashback goes. I actually suspect that they may stretch it to two seasons and bring the obvious character from the past into the present in season 4, just like they did Slade.

Oliver still needs to go to Russia and then back to the island.

Wasn't China White just a minor villain character he dealt with multiple times in season 1? Or was that someone else? Because that kind of makes it hard to care about her fate 5 years ago. She seems thoroughly unimportant.

I think that China White is supposed to be a major/notable Green Arrow villain, so they're probably using the Hong Kong flashback to get more use out of her character rather than a villain of the week character that she was last season. Or it's a pre-existing character that makes sense to be doing business in the region. From what little I've looked up it doesn't seem like Green Arrow has an extensive rogue gallery anyways so why not get more use out what villains you have?

I am a little bit curious if China White and Oliver recognized each other in the show before or if there was any indication that they had a history.

He has to be in Russia long enough to become a captain in the Bratva and learn some Russian and then go back to the island long enough to grow that hideous beard from the pilot.

Wasn't the guy who he saved on the tanker a high ranked Bratva member? I imagine that would help speed along his move up the ranks.

If the flashbacks next season are going to be set in Russia, then what would Oliver be doing and why wouldn't he be able to return home? It's not like he is going to be held hostage or prisoner by the Russians because he is in good with them. I suppose they could do some thing were he feels obligated to stay and fight some bad guy and then get thrown back to the island at the end of the season/flashback storyline but thats stretching it.

At some point the show should consider ditching flashbacks altogether though.

They'll probably do a thing where at the end of his time with ARGUS he gets the choice to go back home or stay away and continue training.

I think it's going to be much worse than that. He wants to kill Amanda for some reason.

The flashbacks were the highlight of season one for me. The present stuff was just boring predictable, Ollie honestly felt like a Mary-Sue at times, also as much as I love Barrowman he didn't really feel enough like a big threat or that interesting as a villain. The Stuntwork was great though and Tommy actually acted like a human being and had a pretty decent character arc. The flashbacks however were really good. They were kind of like how I imagined a TV series based on Far Cry 3 would be like.
Season two flashbacks though however started losing me after Spade finally went the full crazy revenge psycho. It was like they didn't know what to do between then and the final showdown between Ollie and Slade. Now season three has completely lost me. It just feels like they don't know what to do with them now.

The funny thing with Green Arrow is he has a pretty small list of rogues, and when they introduced Cupid her big debut was killing all of them.

Yeah, I understand that this is the CW and everyone has to be svelte and pretty, but I'd love that arc so much if we had a Mickey Rourke type of dude playing Wildcat. The whole thing would play better that way, I think.
