1. Arrow, “Deathstroke Returns” (Nov 9th)

Arrow continues to make the odd choice of keeping Stephen Amell from leading an episode. Oliver staying out of the hood makes sense, but the show seems to forget that he’s the star. “Deathstroke Returns” asks us to buy that Deathstroke is nothing but a misunderstood, Liam Neeson-style dad, and it doesn’t work. Deathstroke was an awesome villain, but a boring protagonist. The reveal of Vigilante’s identity is an interesting reveal, but purely focusing on the Black Canary romance aspect is boring.

SCORE: 6.5/10 Matchbox Flowers

WEEKLY WIN TALLY:

The Flash: 2.8 Weeks

Supergirl: 1.8 Weeks

Arrow: 0.3 Week

What show did you think won the week? Does Legends of Tomorrow take your vote? Do you think A.o.S. or Gotham outshines all the CW shows? Let us know in the comments below!
