“Canaries” was an odd episode. Characters did a lot of zig-zagging, sometimes emotionally, sometimes geographically. But within the chaos, here are five perfect moments for us to savor. Thea Queen: Superbrat If there’s ever an episode of Arrow in which Thea Queen doesn’t stomp around and glare at people I don’t want to watch it.…

Let’s Only Talk About The End Of Last Night’s Arrow

The beginning of “Midnight City” has a case of the sads. Let’s be honest; Arrow has had too many cases of the sads lately. The show itself seems sick of its gloomy tone, which is probably why by the end it goes completely crazy. Let’s talk about that. The Flashdance in the Flashback Ollie and…

Arrow’s Flash Crossover Was a Catastrophic Misfire

“The Brave and the Bold” was bad. It was bad in almost every way that it could be bad. Let’s talk about the ways that it was bad, and the occasional sparks of brilliance that illuminated the darkness. Someone Shoot Captain Boomerang. Into the Sun. Captain Boomerang barely works in the comics. Someone, well before…

Felicity Just Can’t Catch A Break On Last Night’s Arrow

In “Draw Back Your Bow,” Arrow’s most beloved character gets so incredibly screwed over that the episode is almost a comedy. We’ll take a look at the convoluted reasons why the psycho-of-the-week has a better chance at finding love than she does. Felicity Smoak is gorgeous, brilliant, funny, brave, and puts her heart into everything…

You Must Watch Last Night’s Arrow For This Incredible Moment

Best. Episode of Arrow. EVER!

“The Secret Origin of Felicity Smoak,” gives us a technically perfect superhero origin story. It’s so beautiful, so elegant, that I want to enter it in the Superhero Origin Story Olympics.

On Arrow, Laurel Wants to Help!

Arrow’s least-liked character steps up to the plate, and it’s a disaster. But it’s a hell of an entertaining one. Take a look at the kind of help that Laurel Lance dishes out.

No, Arrow! No! No! No! No! No!

In “The Calm,” Arrow makes its various characters adjust to the concept of fatherhood. We see them do this in various ways and are content. And then Arrow blows us out of the water. Digg’s a Dad John Diggle is the one becoming the literal father on this episode of Arrow. I have to say…

All Oliver’s Stupid Decisions Come to a Head on Arrow

Oliver Queen has many good qualities – strength, aim, the ability to seduce foxy evil ladies.
