THE FLASH SPOILER Review: S5 E6- “The Icicle Cometh”
The Flash S5 E6- “The Icicle Cometh” Written by: Kristen Kim & Joshua V Gilbert Directed by: Chris Peppe Watching this episode I realized a few things; One: I must have watched this episode when I first came back from Japan to catch up because this was the déjà vu hour. Two: Not a lot happened because I actually smashed most of what happened in this episode in the following episode. Three: It’s time to put a name to episodes like this because while not a whole lot happened a lot of plot points for the overall season were kind of brought closer to the surface. First there was Caitlin…

Recap: ARROW S7 E10 – My Name is Emiko Queen
Arrow returns for its mid-season premiere and returns to its roots. My Name is Emiko Queen is essentially an origin story for the new Green Arrow. This episode has a strong connection to Oliver’s story, even going as far for the title to be a direct reference to the show’s intro. The episode is almost too familiar. Emiko is the daughter of Robert Queen. She returns to Star City with only one goal, to avenge her mother’s death. Is this sounding familiar? This episode wants to focus on the parallels between Oliver and Emiko, but it becomes distracting. She’s just as brooding and stubborn as Olivers but it feels more…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 5×10- “The Flash and the Furious”
The Flash (5×10)- “The Flash and the Furious” Written by: Kelly Wheeler & Sterling Gates Directed by: David McWhirter Alright! The second half of Season five kicks off with a title I am genuinely surprised they didn’t use earlier. (It’s like how both the Bruce Timm Batman cartoon and “The Batman” reworked Batman film titles for Batgirl episodes, you just know the next Batman cartoon will have an episode called “Batgirl v Superman” at some point.) The episode opens pretty much where we left off in the 100th episode with Nora in the future talking with Eobard Thawne still looking like Wells. (They’ll have to explain that soon enough.) We…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 5×05- “All Doll’d Up”
The Flash (5×05)- “All Doll’d Up” Written by: Tony Pound & Sterling Gates Directed by: Philip Chipera Well what a time. I’ve been without a computer for pretty much the whole winter break and without a computer I can’t write reviews. (I have a phone but I’m not tapping out a review on that with my old man hands.) So, in short my big plan to clean up the episodes I missed was pretty much nuked and it’s scramble time. Anyways… For once those “Previously on the Flash…” Montages helped me out to remind of exactly what’s been going on going into this episode because I wasn’t watching too closely…

The CW Sets Pilot Order for BATWOMAN
Ruby Rose’s Batwoman made her debut in the three-part “Elseworlds” Arrowverse crossover on The CW. In that story, Green Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl travel to Gotham City to confront Dr. John Deegan over his changes to reality. Along the way, they meet Kate Kane, aka Batwoman, who has become Gotham’s new vigilante after the mysterious disappearance of Batman (and Bruce Wayne). Before “Elseworlds,” it was reported that The CW had plans for a Batwoman spinoff series. Now, it’s moving forward. The CW has issued an official pilot order for Batwoman, written by Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries). David Nutter will direct; he previously helmed the pilots for Smallville, Arrow, and…

Five Predictions for The CW’s CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS
Following this year’s Elseworlds, The CW is prepping for its biggest Arrowverse crossover yet in 2019’s Crisis on Infinite Earths. Based on the comic of the same name, this is the event that the shows have been building up to for years. The comic saw the deaths of iconic heroes, the merging of worlds, and so much more. We have a year to speculate exactly how the Arrowverse will tackle this story. The story is expected to see Green Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl – likely alongside allies like Batwoman and the Legends – face off against the fearsome Anti-Monitor. Today, we have five predictions for what will go down. [Warning:…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 5×08- “What’s Past is Prologue”
The Flash (5×08)- “What’s Past is Prologue” 100th Episode Written by: Todd Helbing & Lauren Certo Directed by: Tom Cavanagh In case you’re unaware of the significance, traditionally when shows reach one hundred episodes they are made available to syndication meaning that local stations can buy the rights to previous seasons to air locally. Traditionally this is where a lot shows become truly profitable to the studio as most shows ride that razor’s edge between success and cancelation. What this means in this age of seasons going up on Netflix as the shows go along is unclear to me but that’s not why you came here. Speaking of tradition, most shows mark the occasion in one of three ways.…

FEATURE: 10 Characters We Want to See on The CW’s BATWOMAN
Batwoman is the latest major DC hero to join The CW’s Arrowverse. After her debut in the “Elseworlds” crossover event, Ruby Rose’s Kate Kane is expected to return in her own solo series. Not much is known about the potential show, except that it would follow Batwoman’s adventures in Gotham. Every Arrowverse show has featured plenty of iconic DC heroes, and it is only natural for Batwoman to follow suit. Here, we list 10 characters that we hope to see in the spinoff series. Anarky Lonnie Machin was a recurring villain on Arrow‘s fourth season, originally a henchman for Damien Darhk and later an enemy of both him and Green…

Recap: ARROW S7 E8 – Unmasked
Oliver is finally out of prison! So does that mean things will finally get back to normal? Of course not, what do you this is? The Flash? No, Arrow is operating on a whole other level. We open this episode to see the new Green Arrow training, and yes it is a female like I called back in episode 4. Sea Shimooka plays the new GA but more on that later. So, Oliver is back home and is suffering from PTSD. He freaks out when Felicity walks in on him taking a shower, but considering what happened in prison, you can’t really blame him. Ollie is making his first public appearance…

FLASH SPOILER Review: Episode 5×07- “O Come, All Ye Thankful”
The Flash (5×07)- “O Come, All Ye Thankful” Written by: Jonathan Butler & Gabriel Garza Directed by: Sarah Boyd I know what you’re thinking. Flash episode, just before the winter hiatus the crossover episode looming on the horizon, and using the title of a famous Christmas Carol… It’s the Thanksgiving Episode and you’d be right. Anyway, I’m back from the Land of the Rising Sun and as I said, the winter hiatus is coming up so I’ll loop back around and pick up the two episodes I missed then but for now let’s get this week’s episode squared away. So what do we have for our Thanksgiving episode? Well at…
