Was “My Name is Oliver Queen” a great end to season three? Not really. Did it make up for the mess that Arrow has become throughout the last half of the season? Nope. But, it resolved the lingering storylines well enough. And, considering how the episode could have really gone off the rails, I suppose […]
I was really excited to watch “This is Your Sword” because I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s “Al Sah-him.” And that is something I haven’t been able to say much this season, much to my disappointment. But “Al Sah-him,” which I didn’t get to review due to my vacation last week, was as strong of an […]
2011’s Mortal Kombat reboot by NetherRealm Studios was the beginning of a new era not only for the series, but also the fighting game genre as a whole both positively and negatively. On the positive end, it’s story mode is the best of the genre and no other fighter has matched it’s quality, the amount […]
Based on the well-known and much publicized true story of Maria Altman, an elderly Jewish refugee, who along with her young attorney E. Randol Schoenberg, fought the Austrian government tooth and nail for nearly ten years in an effort to get back a painting that was originally stolen by the Nazis before the start of […]
In a strange way, “Public Enemy” was the most complete episode Arrow has put together in weeks. That being said, something still just didn’t feel right about it as a whole. There is just something missing from the series now, and I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. Perhaps it’s simply that […]
Here’s the thing about Arrow during the second half of this season: it consistently feels as if the show is simply running in circles without an end point in sight. Time and again we hear from Oliver how he can’t love Felicity because his duty to the city is so great (we were given a […]
One of the trickiest elements of Arrow to both pull-off and watch is the flashbacks. Particularly this season, where, without the base of the island, the flashbacks have really strained credibility at times. But this week certainly wins for most convoluted and strange use of flashbacks in Arrow history. Since the flashback scenes dominated the […]
I will be the first to admit that I was very skeptical of Arrow‘s decision to push Laurel into the role of the Canary so quickly after the death of Sara. I had a fear that the writers would throw her into training with Wildcat (where is Wildcat these days, anyway?) and she would suddenly […]
Convergence is going to be a wild time for DC Comics readers, but what is really something to set everyone’s mind on fire is what will happen after that is over. With 16 open slots for books, that’s a lot of potential. Everyone has their own ideas on what should be given a chance, and […]

The series was published from Vertigo, DC Comics’ sister publisher. The CW has adapted many successful […]
