Episode Title: Sins of the Father
Original Airdate: 2-10-16
Arrow had a throwback episode of sorts as this felt much more like a Season 1 or Season 2 episode with some major developments that will definitely impact Team Arrow going forward. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:13
Episode Title: Unchained
Original Airdate: 2-3-16
Season 4 continued its roller coaster ride with another episode filled with some great highs and some confusing, unnecessary lows. It’s been the tale of this season and there’s no getting around it at this point so it’s best to just accept what works and not get too worried about the mistakes that have carried through for most of the year. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:12
Episode Title: A.W.O.L.
Original Airdate: 1-28-2016
Two longtime Team Arrow members finally received code names while a major supporting character was killed off in another episode that had a bit too much going on to adequately juggle.
The focus this week was squarely on the senior members of Team Arrow — Felicity and Diggle. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:11
Episode Title: Blood Debt
Original Airdate: 1-20-16
While a lot of people had issues with Season 3, I’m finding this season a much tougher one to enjoy. Though there’s still more episodes left in Season 4 than we’ve seen so far this mid-season return did little to inspire confidence the issues will get resolved. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:10
Episode Title: Dark Waters
Original Airdate: 12-9-15
It’s too bad the Arrow showrunners have run the this character has shockingly gotten killed otherwise the mid-season finale would really have been a great cliffhanger. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:09
Episode Title: Legends of Yesterday
Original Airdate: 12-2-15
The closest we’ll come to the CW version of the Justice League debuted on Arrow, in a satisfying conclusion to the now annual Arrow/Flash crossover event.
It wasn’t all perfect, this was the one time so much focus on the support staff members like Cisco and Felicity was getting in the way of straight out superhero fight action, but it was a lot of fun. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:08
Episode Title: Brotherhood
Original Airdate: 11-19-15
When I heard yet another presumed dead character would be popping up, I was braced for more of the same, but an intriguing twist made this week’s episode more engaging than the standard Arrow staple plot twist.
Thankfully not stretching out the Andy revelation, Diggle immediately tells Oliver about HIVE targeting Andy because his criminal activities were infringing on their agenda. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:07
Episode Title: Lost Souls
Originally Aired: 11-11-15
Serving two masters of setting up DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and its own larger story line hasn’t done this season of Arrow any favors. Tonight was another weirdly inconsistent episode with some great moments mixed in with some confusing scenes and some outright weird points. Continue reading Arrow: S:04 E:06
Episode Title: Haunted
Original Airdate: 11-4-15
Not even John Constantine could conjure up enough spells to make “Haunted” completely fix all the issues with Season 4 of “Arrow.” Thankfully, the magic man’s appearance did bring some much needed excitement to the lumbering main story line. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:05
Episode Title: Beyond Redemption
Original Airdate: 10-28-15
For the first time since the season premiere, “Arrow” felt more like a show about Oliver Queen and less an extended springboard for “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow.”
This was an eventful night with some major developments and possibly a strong hint as to who will be occupying that grave come six months later. Continue reading Arrow S:04 E:04
