'Arrow' 5×20 Review: 'Underneath'
Arrow can be smart. Don’t let them fool you otherwise. While Arrow has acted the opposite of smart for the majority of its fifth season, it’s shown that it is capable of delivering on the aspects that work. This season…
'Arrow' 5×19 Roundtable: 'Dangerous Liaisons'
Last Wednesday’s episode of Arrow served as the prologue for this Wednesday’s episode. But it was “Dangerous Liaisons” that reminded us that Arrow can be great when it remembers to focus on what makes it great. Our Fangirlish writers Alyssa,…

Arrow 5×18 Review: 'Disbanded'
I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Arrow hasn’t been great this season. It hasn’t even been good. For the longest time it felt like it was a lost puppy trying to find its way home. And it finally has. Following…
Katie Cassidy Returning to Arrow as Series Regular in Season 6
Katie Cassidy is returning to Arrow. Only not as Laurel Lance. Well, not Laurel Lance of Earth-1. Cassidy will be returning to Arrow as the villainous Black Siren in the final two episodes of this season before continuing on in…
Arrow 5×17 Review: ‘Kapiushon’
It feels damn good to say it, for the first time in a long time – Arrow was good. Like really good. Like impressive. Like I’m going to re-watch this episode to dissect even more than I’m about to do.…

Arrow 5×16 Review: 'Checkmate'
Perhaps the most difficult thing that anyone can do in life is admitting that they’re wrong. Even when they know they’re wrong; even when they know that people know they’re wrong. It might sound like the simplest thing in the…
Why choose between ‘Supergirl’ and ‘Jessica Jones’? Let’s have both
It’s the golden age of superhero shows. Everywhere you turn a new billionaire playboy turns up to throw on leather/armor and saves his city. DC, Marvel, it’s all the same. The stories are similar. Or, they’re not. Maybe I’m being…
Arrow 5×15 Roundtable: ‘Fighting Fire With Fire’
Arrow continues to disappoint in its fifth season with the latest installment coming in “Fighting Fire With Fire,” where we learned Prometheus’ (not-shocking) identity, Thea was sent away, and Oliver became even more annoying than he ever has been. Our…
Arrow 5×15 Review: 'Fighting Fire With Fire'

Arrow 5×14 Roundtable: ‘The Sin-Eater’

Arrow 5×14 Review: 'The Sin-Eater'
Well, that was surprisingly not terrible. Especially given what it looked like Arrow was setting up. But that doesn’t mean it was good either. When a show that has generally been known for its smarts – at least in the…
Arrow 5×13 Roundtable: 'Spectre of the Gun'
Arrow took on the controversial issue of gun violence in its episode titled “Spectre of the Gun,” which found a show that has promoted violence over the past five seasons suddenly preaching gun awareness. Our Fangirlish writers Alyssa, Lizzie, Nora,…
