What I'm digging- Felicity being Oliver's sugar mommy.
What I'm not digging- The awkward clunky conversation between Thea and Malcolm about how to deal with PPBD (Post Pit Bloodlust Disorder).
What I'm digging- Oliver and Diggle finally having an honest conversation about their frayed friendship and loss of trust. More please.
What I'm not digging- Having this week's baddie be a meta-human who was changed while getting a tattoo and whose special power is...wait for it...throwing really sharp playing cards at people. It felt like something out of Mystery Men.
What I'm digging- How the show is having the island flashbacks repeatedly call back to the first season. Only now Oliver seems to be serving in the Yao Fei role. It's already way more promising than the awful Hong Kong stuff. By the way, I'm very curious to see what happens with the flashbacks after this season. If my math is right, by the end of this season, the flashbacks will have caught up in time to the start of the series. What happens then?
What I'm not digging- The constant use of the Lazarus Pit as a cheap plot device. Part of the power of this show is how it forces the characters to face the finality and consequences of death (Moira, Shado). The pit diminishes all that. I know it was necessary so Caity Lotz could join the "Legends of Tomorrow" spin-off. But still.
What I'm digging- Thea destroying the Lazarus pit. Maybe the writers were starting to feel the same way I was. Let's hope they throw a tarp over it and never speak of it again.

So, does this mean that all is well between Diggle and Oliver now? They seemed pretty chummy in the last episode. A little too convenient. I want more tension to make it feel real. Or, is that not how guys do it?
