The Review at the End of the Universe
“Kapiushon” Arrow explores the dynamic between Oliver and Adrian while taking major steps forward with the Russian flashback storyline. It’s still too early to say for sure but it’s possible that Adrian/Prometheus is the best villain this show has had. Slade Wilson aka Deathstroke currently holds that title for me but Adrian definitely has the potential…
“Checkmate” Arrow turns the antagonistic relationship between Oliver and Prometheus on its head when Oliver learns his true identity and works to find a way to beat him. Last week’s reveal that Prometheus is Adrian chase behind the mask was equal parts surprising and unsurprising. This could be a personal thing as I had assumed that…
“The Sin-Eater” Arrow deals with some lingering issues as Oliver’s accidental murder of Billy Malone comes back to haunt hiim while Susan’s research starts to become a problem.

“Second Chances” Arrow concentrates on recruiting a successor to the Black Canary mantle as Felicity opens a door into a past that she thought had been put behind her. Laurel’s final words to Oliver were a request to make sure that the Black Canary legacy lives on. In this show it is very much a…
“Rush Hour” The final season of Continuum moves along with more build-up of Kellogg’s potential to become the central antagonist of the final episodes. I’m covering for Aaron who normally -I say normally, it has only been back for two episodes- writes about Continuum on here as he is on holiday this week. This episode…
“Lost Hours” Continuum season 4 opens with “Lost Hours”, the first episode of what will be the final season. “The Internet” suggests that creator Simon Barry had ideas for many more seasons but, like so many shows we love, Continuum is getting cut short. However, unlike many shows we’ve loved it’s being given a chance to…
