The Review at the End of the Universe
“Reset” Arrow delivers its take on a time loop as a test from The Monitor with the surprise return of an old friend to complicate the situation further. I still remember the days when Arrow was a grounded street level superhero show where you would never expect to see a time loop episode play out….
“Prochnost” Arrow chooses Russia as its next stop on the victory lap final season as the team works to assemble the necessary components for their God killing weapon. The arrival of Mia, William and Connor into the present day opened up a number of possibilities that can be explored. A final season should be about…
“Present Tense” Arrow merges the two timelines and forces the team to consider the legacy they’re building with their actions. The cliffhanger in the previous episode had a great deal of potential attached to it and it’s great to see that no time is wasted in living up to that. Bringing the young characters back…
“Leap of Faith” Arrow reunites OIiver with Thea on a trip to Nanda Parbat in an attempt to find out more about The Monitor. Having Thea back on the show is always welcomed. She has grown a great deal over the years and her presence on the show is sorely missed. It’s great that this…
“Welcome to Hong Kong” Arrow continues its final season victory lap by reminiscing about the show’s third season as Laurel deals with the loss of her world. Many would argue that the Hong Kong flashbacks in season 3 are a chapter of the show’s past better left forgotten as time might be better spent on…
“Starling City” Arrow begins its eighth and final season with a trip down memory lane to the beginnings of Oliver Queen’s crusade. TV shows in their final season often get nostalgic because they’ve earned the right to do so. Seven seasons on the air builds up a significant legacy and Arrow has always been good…
San Diego Comic-Con is over for another year and Kneel Before Pod couldn’t resist the urge to weigh in with some thoughts on what was teased over the content filled weekend. The panelists discuss the various news and trailers that dropped online, covered the glut of superhero content coming our way and revelled in discussion…
Arrow recently completed its seventh and penultimate season which means that there needs to be a discussion. Craig and Chris talk endless unknown family members, the abundance of secret societies, bringing in the kids and the how the show might end. Craig can be found on this very site and Chris can also be found…
“Living Proof” Arrow deals with the fallout of the previous episode while exploring Oliver’s tendency to fall back on his darkest impulses. This amounts to the second time that Team Arrow have survived an explosion that reasonably should have killed them. Blowing up a building that they all happen to be in should be fatal considering…
“Confessions” Arrow has the team under police interrogation in order to piece together the confusing events of a mission gone wrong. I can’t help but feel that this show is playing catch up with itself at this point. It has taken so long to reveal the main threat of the season because of the various…
