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' 7×05 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' 7×03 Review: Crossing the Line for the Greater Good

‘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,…
Where Are The Women? Report Finds Drop In Female Representation On TV
The U.S. Census Bureau says just over half of the nation’s population is female. A slight majority, but a majority all the same. But a new report says that majority is not reflected in the television we watch. It comes…
‘Arrow’ Season 6 Review: Inconsistent Storytelling Mars Promising Season
If there was one good thing to come out of Arrow’s sixth season it’s that Beth Schwartz is stepping in as showrunner for season 7 at a time where this show needs some new life. She’s proven as a writer…
'Arrow' 6×21 Review: The Judgement of Oliver Queen
What defines a hero? Are they defined by the mistakes they’ve made or the good they’re able to accomplish? This should be a rhetorical question because the answer is obviously the latter. Heroes are heroes because they do the things…
Lets Talk About The Dark Side of Fandom
I love fandom. I love having a place to connect with other people who love what I love. There is just something about joining a community of people, all of whom are invested in the same thing you’re invested in…
'Arrow' 6×11 Review: ‘We Fall’
We all watch television for different reasons. Some of us want to be entertained; some of us want a good laugh; and some of us want to feel, whether that’s happiness or sadness or a mixture of both. I’ve always…
'Arrow' 6×09 Review: ‘Irreconcilable Differences’
As far as mid-season finales go, Arrow’s was easily the least unnerving of the core four Arrowverse shows. In fact, you could say it was damn near enjoyable. Twelve glorious minutes of Oliver and Felicity’s wedding celebration? Oh, most definitely…
'Crisis on Earth-X' Roundtable
This year’s DCTV mega crossover was the network’s biggest and most controversial to date. Our favorite characters from across the Arrowverse came together for Barry Allen & Iris West’s wedding. But things went from good to bad to worse when…
Crisis on Earth-X: Olicity and Westallen Get Their Happy Beginnings
There’s no denying that the latest DCTV crossover event was the biggest to date. It was also the most impressive in terms of scale and emotions. This felt like a four-hour movie in every way. It was the best yet…
‘Supergirl’ 3×08 Review: ‘Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1’
As far as crossovers go, in just the first hour of this year’s four-part mini movie, I have full confidence in saying this is my favorite crossover yet. Wedding bells in the air for WestAllen. Olicity cuteness and angst. Karamel…
Hook, Mon-El and Felicity: Ship Bias or Actual Problematic Characters?
To ship or not to ship, to like a character or not like a character. Sometimes, the two are intertwined. And yet, sometimes, the writers make characters into people you absolutely can’t root for, and that colors your idea of…
'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…
‘Arrow’ 6×01 Review: ‘Fallout’
There’s nothing better than a clean slate. A new season. A fresh start. Where a 3-13 season isn’t necessarily forgotten but pushed aside as optimism for redemption clings to you like a leech. The past is never forgotten, not really.…
5 Things We Want From ‘The Flash’ Season 4
In The Flash’s third season finale, we found ourselves nearly escaping the black hole that was the darkness of Season 3 after we learned that — by the grace of God — Iris West hadn’t been killed by Savitar. Just…
'Arrow' Season 5 Review: Even Adrian Chase Couldn’t Save This Disaster
Nothing could’ve prepared me for Arrow’s fifth season. Arrow has always been that one show I never have to worry about. Even in its imperfections, Arrow has always managed to deliver on what its promised; to do right by its…
8 Superhero TV Couples We Love to Love
When it comes to superhero television shows, there is so much to love. Sure, we’ll initially drawn to the story due to their superhero persona. But when it comes down to it, we care as much as we do about…
