Arrow Season 3 Episode 12 Review – ‘Uprising’
Jessie Robertson reviews the twelfth episode of Arrow season 3… Oliver Queen returns to Starling City, in dramatic fashion…. Well, so much for Brick being the (fill-in) season baddie; he’s dispatched after taking a beating from Wildcat, an arrow from Arsenal, and another ass-whupping from Merlyn. Honestly, good riddance. This storyline is as nonsensical as […]

Jessie Robertson reviews the eleventh episode of Arrow season 3… Alright hardcore Arrow fans, prepare to lynch me: I’m really digging Laurel now.

Jessie Robertson reviews the eleventh episode of The Flash… This week’s previews didn’t get me all fired up like many previous weeks before it; a nerdy looking guy in a black cloak with sonic gauntlets mad at the world spelled out “Villain of the Week” but Hartley Rathaway, otherwise known as the Pied Piper, was […]

Let’s take […]
The Flash Season 1 Episode 10 Review – “Revenge of the Rogues”
Jessie Robertson reviews episode 10 of The Flash… Welcome back to Central City!

Arrow Season 3 Episode 9 Review – ‘The Climb’
Jessie Robertson reviews the ninth episode of Arrow season 3… “One man’s agony is worth saving a city,” Maseo conveys to Oliver, as a tortured doctor sits motionless with an arrow-shaped wound in his side, bleeding through his cotton linen shirt.
