ARROW Season 6×11, “We Fall” recap

27 Jan

Welcome back, Arrowheads! Team Arrow is technically branching out, although not by choice. Curtis, Dinah, and Rene decide to strike out on their own from the original flavor Team Arrow, and maybe not at the best time. We learn our big baddie Cayden James has an all-star line-up of baddies behind him on his plan to destroy Oliver for the death of his son (and who is that, exactly?). Now with Diggle able to go back to work with that chip in his arm, maybe Team Arrow has good odds to stop all of this before it gets worse? Continue reading →

ARROW Season 6×10, “Divided” recap

19 Jan

Welcome back from the holidays, Arrowheads! As you know, Team Arrow started their Christmas in disarray as a lot of stuff came out into the open, like Dinah still seeing her not dead murderous boyfriend, and Rene being revealed as the informant in the FBI case against Oliver Queen. This causes the newbies to walk away from the Team, only leaving our original flavor Team Arrow to handle the sinister Cayden James. And they have quite a fight on their hands, as James has put together a legion of baddies to deal with things, like Black Siren, Anatoly, Ricardo “Dragon”, and Dinah’s not dead murderous boyfriend! So, welcome to the new year! Continue reading →

Crisis on Earth-X Impressions (and other random thoughts that are still nagging at me)

15 Jan

By now, hopefully, you have all read Stewart’s write-ups about the recent CW DCTV crossover extravaganza, Crisis on Earth-X. But I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it (trust me, it’s so much better to think about then some of the stuff I hear at work), and since the DCTV shows are about to come back from hiatus…

Basically I need to say this- that was some damn epic TV.

Let’s just assume, from this point on that spoilers will be contained within this post…

Justice League was… better than I thought.

8 Jan

This post may seem a little out of date, but I wanted to share my thoughts anyways…

I have seen a lot of comments the last month or so about Justice League being a failure. But I want to state otherwise. Sure, Warner Brothers and DC aren’t likely to have made their money back and may not make as much as they hoped by the time it leaves theaters but… here’s the thing- I have enjoyed only one DC film since Dark Knight Rises and that was Wonder Woman. Sure, I saw Man of Steel, Batman versus Superman, and even Suicide Squad in the theater but they were crap movies and they pissed me off more than anything. Wonder Woman finally made me interested in DC films again and then the trailers for Justice League cemented that I was going to see this one in the theater (it was touch and go after Suicide Squad, honestly).
