Magic, Science and 4 Possible Game-Changers, Arrow “Taken”
Magic totems. Animal channeling. And a ghostly gatekeeper. This episode may have been filled with far-fetched whimsy, but it also brought us some very real story lines. Oliver grappled with the realities of parenthood. Thea was finally forced to see the truth. Darhk lost the upper-hand. And Felicity’s life took…
Superheroes on TV: Villains
There’s something to be said for a good bad-guy. Someone so dastardly and twisted a character that they really push a protagonist to their limits. Without a good villain, it’s hard to have a great hero. The Flash seems to be the exception to this rule (the TV series at…
Secrets Weigh Heavy, Arrow “Code of Silence”
Secret keeping. It’s always been an issue for the characters of this show and pretty much everyone has done it. I guess it just comes with the territory when you’re suiting up and saving lives as a vigilante. But that doesn’t mean it always comes easy to them. Or that it’s always…

Betrayal Comes From All Sides, Arrow “Sins of the Father”
Talk about an episode filled with betrayal! This week may have been about the “Sins of the father,” but when it came down to back-stabbing, side-stepping and throwing people under the bus, it seems like everyone got on board. Obviously, the greatest offender was Malcolm Merlyn as he feigned handing…

The Past Comes Back To Haunt, Arrow “A.W.O.L”
This week was all about the past. Well, okay, not ALL about the past — Felicity is still in a wheelchair and Darhk is still on the loose and A.R.G.U.S (remember them?), yeah, they’re still masterminding some seriously messed up stuff — but it had a lot to do with…
Five Things We Learned in Arrow “Blood Debts”

It’s All About Taking Responsibility, Arrow “Dark Waters”
Umm, did we just find out who’s in the grave?! With all of Arrow‘s fake-outs and red herrings, it feels a little too obvious, but then again, if you want a big, meaningful death, this could be it. Obviously, I’m talking about the Felicity post-engagement limo bloodbath. It was bad….
Thank Me Later: Will Trent

What They Said: The Flash, “Legends Of Today” and Arrow, “Legends Of Yesterday”
Two nights of Arrow + The Flash = what more could we ask for?! I don’t know what it is about blending these shows, but I can’t help but feel that every time they come together, they somehow become greater than the sum of their parts. And that’s saying a lot…
