Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Invasion”

By Brian Salvatore | Dec 1, 2016 | Television

Now in night three, the “Invasion” crossover continues on Arrow. This was sort of an odd installment, as it was also the 100th episode of the show, and so featured a lot of returning characters, and only focused tangentially on the crossover itself. It also featured some amazingly cheesy moments, and more than a few […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Vigilante”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 17, 2016 | Television

Arrow is asking interesting questions this season and, even if the show isn’t really answering them, it is certainly an improvement over the past few seasons. 1. Vigilante The big question the show is struggling with this season is: “what is too far?” Right now, the team is torn as to whether or not the […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “So It Begins”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 10, 2016 | Television

After a rough couple of days, let’s hope Arrow can be a balm for our weary souls. Nothing like the story of a billionaire who inherited his wealth and decides to take the fate of his surroundings into his own hands…ah, fuck. 1. A new color scheme needed OK, this is an annoying feature of […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Human Target”

By Brian Salvatore | Nov 3, 2016 | Television

Yet another low-level hero is introduced into the show – at this point, Star City is lousy with masks! 1. Ah, Gene! You got me again! Human Target is a character with a long history in comics and television, and the concept is a simple one: Christopher Chance will assume your identity in order to […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Penance”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 27, 2016 | Television

We’re a-busting Diggle out of jail! 1. The dumbest idea anyone on the show has had This Diggle jailbreak took a show that already strains credulity and amped it up to a thousand. Now, you can do a fun ‘let’s break Diggle out of jail’ story, but literally every aspect of the plan was dumber […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “A Matter of Trust”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 20, 2016 | Television

Arrow continues to rebrand itself by bringing in a new team, focusing on Ollie’s position as mayor, and attempting to learn from the mistakes of its past. It is borderline successful in that navigation, but there’s still a lot of work to do. 1. From the Mayor’s Office This week, the show took three steps […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “The Recruits”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 13, 2016 | Television

I get what Arrow is trying to do this season, I really do. But so far, the show is falling into all of its old, bad habits, and not really holding its own against the other CW DC shows. This episode tries, in a few ways, to recreate the heights of its earlier years – […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Legacy”

By Brian Salvatore | Oct 6, 2016 | Television

Yesterday got us back in the swing of The Flash and, today, we are here where it all began: Arrow, the patient zero of the modern era of DC television. Last season was a bit rocky, but an improvement over season 3’s malaise. Could season five’s premiere continue the uptick started last season? Let’s see! […]

The Five Best Moments of Arrow, Season 4

By Brian Salvatore | Jun 17, 2016 | Television

Oh, Arrow. In some ways, the show is Moses, leading DC TV to the promised land, but never quite making it there itself. The show has struggled to maintain its tone, its focus, and its intrigue at various points in its run, but there has always been a strong undercurrent to the show that gave […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Schism”

By Brian Salvatore | May 26, 2016 | Television

I feel like we’ve seen a lot of tonight’s Arrow before – the city in ruins, standing behind its heroes, various team members needing ‘time away,’ one flashback ending with a hint of what the next season’s worth of shitty flashbacks will be. Everything old is new again. Also, spoilers! 1. Nukes This show really […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Lost in the Flood”

By Brian Salvatore | May 19, 2016 | Television

Arrow continues its trend of killing off prominent female characters while wiping out Damien Darhk’s ark (the Darhk Ark? The Darhrk?) and giving us a little more information on Felicity’s past. Keep reading, but beware the spoilers. 1. Smoak affairs I’m really glad that the show has not resigned itself to making Donna a one […]

Five Thoughts on Arrow‘s “Monument Point”

By Brian Salvatore | May 12, 2016 | Television

This episode of Arrow was, without a doubt, the deadliest in the show’s history, with literally tens of thousands of people dying at the hands of Damien Darhk (and sort of Felicity…). Keep reading for my review, but be warned that major spoilers will be discussed. 1.Arrow’s Rogues This week, we got as close to […]
