This series will be a brief, semi-comedic review of the CW superhero shows. You can check out last week’s review post here. The only shows discussed will be ‘Arrow’, ‘Flash’, and ‘Supergirl’. There WILL be some spoilers discussed, so only look at the reviews you’re up to date on!
1. Arrow, “Thanksgiving” (Nov 23rd)
There’s some great action & return to form in ARROW’s holiday episode. The Oliver/Diggle argument is boring and old hat, but seeing Oliver back in action is great. The promise that the FBI plot is going to result in something soon is nice. Plus, the tension between Felicity and Curtis is compelling enough to carry the interpersonal drama of “Thanksgiving.” Cayden James is ALMOST interesting in this episode – he’s clearly very clever and mean. However, aside from knowing his son is gone, he’s a rather non-dynamic villain. Don’t forget, the episode was about him building a bomb that never got built. But Thea’s finally returned, and William hasn’t gotten too grating yet, so there’s still hope for a solid season of ARROW.
SCORE: 7/10 Algorithms
