‘Arrow’ 6×06 Review: ‘Promises Kept’
If there’s anything I dislike on television it’s when shows sometimes forget who their characters are. Where their thoughts, actions, and feelings don’t match the overall character. This was an issue in last week’s episode of Arrow, “Deathstroke Returns,” and…

‘Supergirl’ 3×06 Review: ‘Midvale’
Early on in Supergirl’s first season, I was searching for something to connect to. Sure, I had the badass, empowering female superhero. But I also craved a relationship to connect with. Usually those tend to be romantic-based because that’s what…
'Supergirl' 3×05: “Damage” Roundtable or, Why Sanvers Deserved Better
