Season 3 is in the books for ‘Arrow’ with the city saved and one surprising death. I was attempting to figure out why I felt a bit underwhelmed by the season finale and I think in large part I was tired of saying goodbye to Oliver Queen. It didn’t take long for Oliver to reveal […]
Since Oliver’s death, Season 3 has been an inconsistent ride for our favorite hooded archer. There’s been some exceptional episodes, but surprisingly there’s been enough to suggest that ‘Arrow’s’ spot as the crown jewel of the comic book TV shows was in serious jeopardy. After tonight’s episode, one of the best of the entire series, […]
Tonight’s episode had some great moments specifically that killer last scene, but too much felt far too familiar in a season where the underlining theme may as well be ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye.’ Things start off great with Oliver coming home to find a gravely wounded Thea bleeding out. While the doctors try […]
Managed to pick your jaw back off the floor after tonight’s shocking episode? Good, because I sure haven’t. Just as Team Arrow successfully concocted a plan to kill off the Arrow, Ra’s al Ghul eliminated a team member for real — maybe. We’ll get to that crazy final 10 minutes in a bit. First, Oliver […]
Flash vs. The Killer Bees on a Swarm! No, not the Wu-Tang Clan, but we do get one exciting crossover. Tonight’s episode felt like the last bit of lighthearted fun for our favorite speedster and his pals before what will assuredly be an emotional final string as we’re approaching the home stretch of the season. […]
Well, if ‘The Flash’ and ‘Arrow’ had to go on a week break they certainly gave us a lot to take in. Just when it looked ‘The Flash’ ran off with the Best Comic Book Show of the Week crown, ‘Arrow’ neatly hit the target resulting in the week’s best one-two punch since the ‘Flash […]
Arrow takes on Iron Man in his Atom armor, Felicity makes her choice while Diggle and Lyla have the worst honeymoon ever in an episode that featured a shocking death — but probably not one you were expecting. Since they ain’t getting no younger and figured they might as well do this, Diggle and Lyla […]
Similar to last season, we’re at the key point of ‘Arrow’s’ third season where the writers are ignoring the standard TV episodic formula and instead start building to the home stretch that plays out much more like 44-minute movies. And with everything packed into this episode — Black Canary vs. Merlyn! Raylicity! Thea’s true confession […]
Last season ‘Arrow’ had one of the great all-time seasons where you couldn’t find a weak episode as it steadily built a season-long arc that delivered with an extremely satisfying conclusion. Don’t look now, but Season 3 may be even better. Even more impressively, this year has maintained the same level of consistent quality each […]
Since its inception, ‘Arrow’ has drawn comparisons to Batman, but tonight’s episode took a page from DC Comics’ other big icon in a fitting follow-up from the mid-season shocker. Similar to DC’s classic ‘World Without a Superman (Superman (DC Comics)),’ tonight we see how Team Arrow handles itself without their leader following Oliver’s fatal encounter […]
