Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Ties That Bind”

By Brian Salvatore | May 11, 2018 | Television

After a truly slow start to the season, Arrow is kicking it into high gear right now, bringing one of the more exciting episodes of the show in a long time. This show really knows how to make the build to a finale feel important, and this year is no different. 1. Everyone’s got somebody…except […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Docket No. 11-19-41-73”

By Brian Salvatore | May 4, 2018 | Television

On this episode of Arrow: Everyone does something dumb. Stay tuned! 1. AHHHH Gene, you got me again! Note: I will take any opportunity to make a Gene Parmesan joke, and Christopher “Human Target” Chance is essentially the Gene Parmesan of Arrow. While I know the character has roots outside of this show, his usage […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Shifting Allegiances”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 27, 2018 | Television

Arrow decided about 2/3 of the way of the season to give Ricardo Diaz an arc and stuff to do. Thank goodness they did. 1. Laurel, for fuck’s sake Perhaps even more than Diaz, the show has no idea what to do with Laurel. The way to build tension and drama isn’t to have a […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Dragon”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 20, 2018 | Television

I have no idea why Arrow decided to wait until 2/3 of the way through its sixth season to give Ricardo Diaz any sort of spotlight. But thankfully, they did, and the villain finally has something resembling a storyline for the rest of the season. Let’s dig in. 1. Diaz’s tenacity About half of this […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Fundamentals”

By Brian Salvatore | Apr 13, 2018 | Television

After a few weeks off (thanks, Mike!), I’m back with a review of tonight’s Arrow. Let’s dig in. 1. The last man standing Who’d have thought that Quentin Lance would be the last ally Ollie has? Sure, by episode’s end, his situation with Felicity had worked it self out to some degree, but Quentin has […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Doppleganger”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 16, 2018 | Television

This review was supposed to go up last Friday, but my family was in the midst of a three-day power outage, so it had to wait. Is the episode worth the wait? Dig in and find out! 1. Roy! Aside from some really shitty CGI in the 100th episode, it’s been a minute since we’ve […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Collision Course”

By Brian Salvatore | Mar 2, 2018 | Television

Arrow is back from its Olympic hiatus, and we’re jumping right back into the Team Arrow vs Team…Not Arrow? dynamic. 1. Quentin is a terrible liar Sometimes the characters on this show can pick up the slightest shift in dynamic. Someone is being overly pensive, or snapping for no reason. Other times, Quentin can basically […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Devil’s Greatest Trick”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 9, 2018 | Television

Arrow is about to take a three week hiatus, yet you would think that it was a season finale with how intense this episode was. Keep reading, but beware for spoilers. 1. Cayden flashbacks The CW, and Arrow in particular, love a villain that can really dominate a scene with some over the top thespian […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “All For Nothing”

By Brian Salvatore | Feb 2, 2018 | Television

This season’s faux-Legion of Doom loses a member this week, we get a hint of depth from a previously one-dimensional character, and more on this week’s Arrow. 1. Oh, flashbacks…I haven’t missed you at all Y’all happy the flashbacks were back this week? Because I sure as shit wasn’t! Everything about them bug me, because […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “We Fall”

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 26, 2018 | Television

Cayden James is ten million dollars richer, and all I got was a headache from trying to figure out this episode. Warning, spoilers follow. 1. Outsiders While I love the name drop of a classic DC team, as well as appreciate a good S.E. Hinton reference, the team of Curtis, Rene, and Dinah is starting […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Divided”

By Brian Salvatore | Jan 19, 2018 | Television

Arrow left us in December with the team in shambles, Ollie under investigation by the FBI, and Cayden James putting together the C- Legion of Doom. “Divided” picks up in essentially the same spot. 1. That’s cold, Vigilante One of the worst reveals in the show’s history was/is the Vigilante is Vincent/Dinah’s old flame. Dinah […]
