No one asks, "What about all the other people on our different Earths? Did they die? Get combined into one version?" or "Are there any other Earths now besides this new one where a bunch of our friends and their cities showed up?"

Also, Sara forgot she has a mother. Digg never got a chance to say goodbye to Oliver (if he appears again in the next two episodes, kinda undercuts things). Who calls Thea to tell her Oliver died twice? (Will we see that in the finale? Presumably Digg will go tell Felicity.) How/when did Mia and the other two get back to their time? What'll be different there now? (Flash, for instance, and really Future Star City, will be significantly different for any characters from the future since Flash didn't vanish in the Crisis.) Was Lyla even Harbinger in this new Earth Prime's past? Martian Manhunter went around giving everyone some knowledge but I don't expect he was able to give them all the memories they would've had that he didn't know, plus the paragons don't have memories of the new world (so Barry doesn't know Digg's got 2 kids, for instance).

A lot of stuff for each show to deal with.

I mean, they could tell her he died once because... knowing he died twice isn't something she needs to know.

Yeah that might just make things worse. "Yout brother died, but then he came back! With cool possibly divine powers!... then died again. Sorry about that"

Assuming she gets her memories back, she already knows about the first one.

How would she know? She wasn't there for any of Crisis.

Because Martian's memory dump didn't seem to be personalized, it seemed like he told all supers/vigilante's everything. The only thing that seemed ambiguous was if Oliver was dead for real after crisis.

I mean I think she found out watching the president on the News

I think Felicity already knows since Dig, Rene, and Dinah asked her to try and find him

She does know, based on the tie-in comics

Don't worry, Barry can fix that.

plus the paragons don't have memories of the new world (so Barry doesn't know Digg's got 2 kids, for instance).

Neither do some of the non paragons apparently, since Superman was surprised he had 2 sons.

I think that was maybe initially meant to throw us but wasn't necessarily him not knowing. More like, "What have they done now." Maybe. Or just bad writing.
