‘Arrow’ season 3 finale review: Did Malcolm Merlyn upstage final Ra’s al Ghul duel?

Matt Carter — Thu, 14 May 2015 01:00:03 +0000

Tonight’s “Arrow” finale had a heavy weight under it, mostly because of the past few episodes sagging somewhat, and for Oliver Queen not exactly being that likable. This is a guy who left his friends to more or less die … though it turns out that it was all a part of a larger plan […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 22 review: Death and one awkward wedding

Matt Carter — Thu, 07 May 2015 00:56:43 +0000

Tonight, “Arrow” had a little bit of everything. There was a wedding, a death, and one of the most epic fights that we have ever seen over the course of the entire season. Also, it had the return of Roy Harper, for those of you who have been missing seeing Colton Haynes on the show. […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 21 review: Oliver’s new role ties everything together

Matt Carter — Thu, 30 Apr 2015 04:43:13 +0000

How depressing was tonight’s “Arrow” episode to everyone else? In it, what we more or less saw was Oliver Queen becoming a very bad dude, Nyssa nearly dying on more than one occasion, and also the idea of the Alpha and Omega being used to destroy all of Starling City. (Of course, this had to […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 20 review: The Olicity moment and the mask

Matt Carter — Thu, 23 Apr 2015 04:44:58 +0000

Tonight, “Arrow” aired the latest in what is now a series of game-changing episodes, and what “The Fallen” did for the most part was give us entertainment, but also great emotion despite very little when it comes to the element of surprise. Had we not known that the Oliver / Felicity hookup was coming, then […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 19 review: Did someone really die in ‘Broken Arrow’?

Matt Carter — Thu, 16 Apr 2015 00:56:38 +0000

Tonight’s new episode of “Arrow” first entered our consciousness with huge expectations. Remember here that this was one that was hyped up as having one of the most emotional moments in the history of the series, and one that really brought even Stephen Amell to a dark place. It was pretty clear that someone was […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 18 review: Roy Harper’s redemption

Matt Carter — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 06:18:29 +0000

This is turning out to be a heck of a week for DC Comics adaptations on The CW. One night after “The Flash” airs what may very well be a top five episode of the season for them, “Arrow” comes and does the same thing with “Public Enemy.” While you could say that there were […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 17 review: A Deadshot dilemma

Matt Carter — Thu, 26 Mar 2015 06:47:11 +0000

“Arrow,” what are we going to do with you? “Suicidal Tendencies” was a very strong episode for the most part, but we cannot help but feel like this episode also had the disembodied presence of DC Comics hovering over it from start to finish. Our feeling after watching it is this: DC has a “Suicide […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 16 review: Did Oliver Queen take Ra’s al Ghul’s offer?

Matt Carter — Thu, 19 Mar 2015 01:04:44 +0000

The last time we saw “Arrow” on TV, we had quite the offer from Ra’s al Ghul to Oliver Queen: Become the new Demon’s Head. As we found out before the episode concluded, though, what we learned was that Ra’s “offer” was that it was hardly that. It was really a whole lot more of […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 15 review: Did Ra’s al Ghul kill Oliver Queen … again?

Matt Carter — Thu, 26 Feb 2015 01:59:59 +0000

In many ways, “Nanda Parbat” is an episode of “Arrow” that functions as a midseason finale. It’s the last before a hiatus, and we heard many times over beforehand that this was one that the powers that be at the network were especially proud of. After watching it, we certainly understand why! There was a […]

‘Arrow’ season 3, episode 14 review: What mattered most in ‘The Return’

Matt Carter — Thu, 19 Feb 2015 05:43:14 +0000

Did Wednesday night’s new episode of “Arrow” really change much in the grand scheme of things? It’s a risky question, but think about it for a moment. The main purpose of “The Return” was to have Thea realize that she killed Sara Lance, and to unify her and Oliver closer, while Malcolm Merlyn was pushed further […]
