It’s true confession time on this week’s episode where several long hidden secrets were finally revealed and nothing truly will ever be the same for Team Arrow. One of the great accomplishments of ‘Arrow’ is how the writers realized early on the strength of the show was not keeping things status quo. The characters have […]
With Oliver away (and still presumed dead) Team Arrow has to consider making a deal with the devil … or more specifically, the magician. Oliver knows he’s been gone too long and eager to get back to Starling. Tatsu isn’t too keen on the idea especially since Oliver can barely walk without a limp. He […]
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 […]
Silly me. I thought ‘Arrow vs. Flash’ was last week, but DC’s top 2 comic book TV shows played another game of “can you top this?” Just as it seemed like the Flash vs. Reverse Flash confrontation gave Team Flash a seemingly insurmountable advantage, we get a jam-packed episode filled with major revelations after major […]
Coming off an exhilarating debut Arrow and Flash team-up last night, we quickly get another on point (both puns very intentional) and fun pairing of TV’s most dynamic comic book heroes. Picking up very loosely from last night’s show, Arrow has tracked down the location of the Boomerang killer. At the killer’s house, Arrow and […]
And that my friends is how you zoom right along past expectations. Tonight marked Part 1 of the much-anticipated, unprecedented ‘Flash vs. Arrow’ — note not ‘Flash v. Arrow’ — crossover and it was every bit as fun and amazing as we could have hoped. It also furthered the notion that any cinematic DC hero […]
This recap is best read while listening to Nirvana’s ‘Heart-Shaped Box.’ The episode starts off with a flashback from six months ago when Slade’s Mirakuru army was invading Starling City. While the team is en route to battle Slade, Arrow has Diggle stop so he can take down another of Slade’s grunts. This one is […]
Oliver learns a valuable lesson about the mentor/sidekick bond, but after Roy’s shocking revelation, does this episode mark the ‘Death of the Family’ for Team Arrow? Things are off to a good start for the team as Arrow, Roy and Diggle are en route to stop a drug bust with Felicity providing intel at HQ. […]
Before we get into that jaw-dropping shocking final segment, let’s break down an episode devoted to everyone’s favorite supporting character — Felicity Smoak. We kick off with a look at everyone’s morning activities. Oliver and Roy are dueling with Escrima Sticks — Oliver remarks that Roy seems off, which Roy attributes to trouble sleeping. He’s […]
