Review: Arrow – The Return

 

In last week’s episode, we were treated to several major developments all packed into a single episode. Obviously, they can’t do that for every one, or else the showrunners would run out of story and we’d get fatigued. I don’t know if I said it in the review for Arrow last week, but normally we’d get an entire episode framed around just the single sentence of any one of its reveals. This week’s episode, “The Return,” was just one of those episodes, framed around “You killed Sara.”

In the meantime, we were treated to, as the episode title suggests, the return to the Island, the return of the always-welcome Manu Bennett, plus the sorely-missed Colin Donnell in the guise of Tommy Merlyn.

Review: Arrow – Canaries

 

With the much-hyped return of Caity Lotz as the Canary, Arrow made some major advances in its story and character development, while still regrettably not delivering very well on the confrontation between Canaries.

Also, yeah, full spoilers be ahead.

ATOM Suit Revealed

If you don’t want to see it, groovy, I’ll put it below the jump, but the CW has released the very first photo of Brandon Routh wearing Arrow‘s version of the A.T.O.M. suit, and while it’s something of a departure from the comic version, it’s still pretty snazzy looking.
