It could be no other way. Emily Bett Rickards is reprising her role as Felicity Smoak in Arrow. She will appear in the series finale. No, really, nothing else made sense. This show has been as much about Felicity as…
Hey, CW, Give Us That Next-Gen Original Team Arrow Spinoff
I might’ve given up on Arrow — what else would you expect with the departure of Felicity Smoak — but that doesn’t mean I’m done with the Arrowverse. And I’m not just talking about current shows still airing, like The Flash, Supergirl and Legends of…
‘Arrow’ is wasting Felicity Smoak’s final episodes
Long are the days when Arrow thrived as a grounded superhero show with a strong character focus. Where rich, compelling storylines inspired a new wave of superhero dramas that flourished in the past several years. While Arrow has become a…
‘Arrow’ 7×19 Review: ‘Spartan’
Even John Diggle wasn’t enough to save this episode for me. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the end of the season, and I’ve had to put up with a lot on this show this year. Maybe it’s the fact…
What Does Emily Bett Rickards’ Departure From ‘Arrow’ Mean For Felicity?
It really feels like Arrow didn’t really begin until Felicity Smoak graced our screens in the show’s third episode. Before that, we had a dark shell of a man that was destined to grow into our central hero and it…
‘Arrow’ 7×16 Review: ‘Star City 2040’
When Arrow delivers episodes that manage tell compelling stories that thrill and excite and provide hope for stability on this show, episodes like “Star City 2040,” my instant reaction is to embrace it. But then logic kicks in, and I’m…
'Arrow' to Return for Final Season This Fall
Oliver Queen will be hanging up his bow this fall. Arrow, the show that started The CW’s Arrowverse that includes The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow, will return for its eighth and final season this fall on The CW,…
‘Arrow’ 7×14 Review: ‘Brothers and Sisters’
It’s not often that you find me praising Arrow of late, especially when it comes to how it handles its characters — especially when it comes to the handling of its characters. But the episode “Brothers and Sisters” reminded me…
'Arrow' 7×13 Review: Holy Smoaks!
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about Arrow is that is has all the potential in the world only to, usually, waste it. So much so that Arrow has become a watch-later show as I’m always expecting some sort of disappointment.…
‘Arrow’ 7×12 Review: Please Make This Stop
After hearing the unpleasant reviews surrounding Arrow’s 150th episode, I put off watching it as long as possible. Being sick in bed and not wanting to get sicker was certainly part of my motivation, as well. And I’m sorry to…
'Arrow' 7×11 Review: 'Past Sins'
As long as Arrow wants to focus on the past — by bringing in Emiko Queen and reviving the Suicide Squad, sorry “Ghost Initiative” — let’s talk about the past. I remember when I used to look forward to Arrow.…
‘Arrow’ 7×10 Review: 'My Name Is Emiko Queen'
Arrow has been a game-changer in my life that’s introduced me to some fantastic people and amazing opportunities. I remember the times where it felt like weeks would stretch between new episodes of Arrow. Where I could write 3,000-word reviHell,…
‘Arrow’ 7×09 Review: Elseworlds, Part 2
No doubt my favorite thing about these annual crossovers are the interactions between all of these DC characters that typically don’t get a chance to interact. There’s such a great camaraderie and it adds some flavor to the episodes. This…
‘Arrow’ 7×08 Review: ‘Unmasked’
Arrow’s “mid-season” finale did everything it needed to do heading into its winter hiatus. Which is weird, given that the crossover event is next week. But on the strictly Arrow front, we’re done until January. Oliver returned home from Slabside…
‘Arrow’ 7×07 Review: ‘Slabside Redemption’
There was a ton of hype surrounding Arrow’s seventh episode, which people deemed a work of art. But the only thing I deemed a work of art was Oliver and Felicity’s brief reunion that reawakened the dormant fangirl within! “Slabside…
'Arrow' 7×05 Review: 'The Demon'
Do you guys see that? There in the distance? It looks like a light. Like a light at the end of the tunnel that involves Oliver imprisonment and subsequent separation from his family. We’re almost there. For five episodes where…
‘Arrow’ 7×04 Review: ‘Level Two’
Is the Arrowverse better for its vigilantes? That’s a question that Arrow seems to be exploring this season as we continue to explore this debate between the need for vigilantes and how vigilantes are hurting the system. Vigilantes are vigilantes…
'Arrow' 7×03 Review: Crossing the Line for the Greater Good
The heroes that we’ve met on Arrow — from Oliver Queen to Felicity Smoak-Queen to John Diggle to Roy Harper to Thea Queen to Laurel Lance to Quentin Lance to Dinah Drake to Rene Ramirez to Curtis Holt — they’ve…
‘Arrow’ 7×02 Review: ‘The Longbow Hunters’
There’s a different vibe in this seventh season of Arrow. There’s this sense of hope and optimism that this season can almost consistently provide satisfaction. There’s this feeling that this change is showrunner is the exact change that this show…
‘Arrow’ 7×01 Review: "Inmate 4587" aka HOLY S**T
Since every tease of Arrow’s season 7 premiere used the same two words, I’d like to start my review the same way: HOLY. SHIT. That is how you do a season premiere. There was action, emotion, suspense, intrigue, good writing,…
Kat McNamara Joins The Cast of ‘Arrow’
Is this karma? Are we being punished? Because it sure as hell feels like it. Kat McNamara has joined the cast of Arrow in a recurring role. She is joining the show for the first half of season 7 as…
