I appreciate the desire to create a big, brash nemesis for Oliver to square off against, and goodness knows I think the show could benefit from that, but I think the writers tried a little too hard to create a…
I think this may be the most balanced episode of Arrow we've seen in a long while, and I say this despite the fact that at the halfway point of "Trust but Verify," I typed in my notes that it was very stuffed.
"Burned" saw Oliver coming to grips with his defeats and trying to find a new path.
I think the most interesting thing about this week's episode is not so much that the Dark Archer is way better and stronger than Oliver, nor that Merlyn is taking care of business in a way that Oliver refuses to,…
Plus: Margo Martindale returns to FX and we're excited, Storage Wars is totally fake, and SAG nominations!
After last week's episode started a discussion about the difference between revenge and justice, I was prepared for a deeper look at the topic; turns out Arrow still has only some vague ideas on the matter.
Plus: 50 Cent teams up with Starz for a drama, The Killing might return, Carrie Underwood feels the Sound of Music, and Arrow casts Deathstroke.
I'm rather excited about the narrative avenues this opens up for the show.
Plus: Necessary Roughness is close to surviving, NBC is developing an Americanized Downton Abbey, and Zucker is back.
A sub captain! A bratty pop star! An evil nun! A misogynist gynecologist! Help us pick the best new character of the season, please!
Plus: Get ready for more sessions of Web Therapy, The Big Bang Theory is unstoppable, and Arrow casts a True Blood hottie.
Plus: There's a MacGyver movie in the works, a Disneyland ride is the basis for a new TV project, and Arrow casts its Vertigo.
"Damaged" was easily the best episode since the pilot, and probably the best of the series thus far.
Plus: Another USA show is given a pink slip, Mythbusters meets Breaking Bad, and a first look at The Huntress on Arrow.
"An Innocent Man" started to inch Oliver toward the liberal, "fight for the little guys" persona of '70s-era Green Arrow. It also put his lack of faith in the system up against Laurel and Quentin’s belief in it.
"Lone Gunmen" was a big step up from the second episode-itis of "Honor Thy Father," and it also gave us a sense of what this show is going to be, which is a superhero procedural mixed with some decent character work.
Arrow's chunk of hunk Stephen Amell spilled some beans today on his Twitter feed, and it's great news for his show.
On our list this week: The debut of American Horror Story: Asylum, the demise of Animal Practice, and a pretty amazing Breaking Bad / Taylor Swift parody.
