‘Supergirl’ 3×04 Review: ‘The Faithful’

Even when Supergirl isn’t wowing with particularly thrilling hours, it always manages to find a way to touch your heart. It always finds a way to communicate through the human side of things. That’s something you can always have faith…

'Arrow' 6×03 Review: 'Next of Kin'

Before you dive into this Arrow review, a disclaimer: Full-on Olicity fangirling ahead. If you don’t want to read about Olicity (mainly, among other things), turn back now. Or keep reading. Because I don’t care. This fangirl has been waiting…
