We've known since March that the upcoming 10-episode season of CW's Arrow will be the show's last. With Oliver leaving Star City with The Monitor in the seventh season finale to fulfill the bargain made during last fall's "Elseworlds" crossover, many are left wondering what the upcoming shortened season will look like. Wonder no more! […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. as we look at season finale "You Have Saved This City" – ending a season that can best be described as a bit schizophrenic. When the season began, Oliver was in jail for being a vigilante, Diaz was on the loose, and Team […]

The CW's Arrow wraps up its seventh and final full (20+ episode) season Monday night, May 13. Oliver's struggle for Emiko's soul in the present day storyline comes to a head, with Emiko possessing  a weapon that can wipe out the city (of course… it is May). In the future, the surviving members of Team Arrow […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at The CW's The Flash season 5 with this week's episode "The Girl With The Red Lightning". If you came looking for our thoughts on whether the episode was generally "good" or not, I apologize in advance. we're going to do something a little different today. We're going to use […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. Like last week, this week's episode pulls narrative shenanigans in an effort to attempt to hide from the viewer the fact that there's not much going on here. Heading into the season finale, the episodes should be building to a crescendo – not […]

Oliver's down and Felicity's out on the next new episode of CW's Arrow, with the network starting to get a little more cagey as we move closer to the season finale – shortening their episode descriptions to meet the bare minimum, as seen below in the synopsis for "Living Proof": https://youtu.be/X7nYRL5780gVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's review of ABC's Schooled. As discussed in our review of the previous episode, Schooled feels like it's treading water until next week's season finale. Everything appears to be building toward Lainey's reunion with Barry, which we get a taste of at the end of this episode, and having to choose between Barry and CB. […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's review and recap of ABC's The Goldbergs. This week, the series takes us to that most hallowed holiday… Smother's Day. Barry blows $100 on groceries to create a mess of a breakfast for Bev so that he can get off the hook for having to go through the family ritual of having a painfully […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. This week's episode took a different, non-linear path to solve a compelling mystery. Two subway security guards (the transportation system, not the sandwich shop) are found dead. Team Arrow was on the scene at the time they were killed. Dinah and Officer Pollard […]

Someone's running around putting arrows in bodies on the next new episode of CW's Arrow "Confessions" – which in a lot of ways sounds like the theme of every other episode of Arrow. Only this time… it's a villain putting arrows in bodies in an attempt to frame Oliver. So… sounds just like a flashback […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. After taking a back seat to the ladies last week, Oliver and company are back in the forefront this episode, particularly Oliver and Diggle. It's a nice return to the earlier seasons, before Oliver put together a JV squad to come off the […]

After shining a spotlight on the ladies in the most recent episode, the CW's Arrow turns to John Diggle in this week's new episode, titled – appropriately enough – "Spartan." First up, we have guest star Ernie Hudson as DIA General Stewart. I know they're from different worlds, but is that "Stewart" – as in […]

In addition to the official Krypton season 2 trailer released today by SYFY, the network that dares to screw with your "The Man of Steel" mythology – and we mean that in a good way – has given us this look behind the scenes that reintroduces footage from the second-season trailer alongside perspectives from the […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. The series returned at its new time – following DC's Legends of Tomorrow – to wrap up its final run of episodes this season. Rather than ramp up the conflict between Oliver's team and the 9th Circle, though, this week's episode put the […]

Laurel-2 breaks bad when Arrow returns to the CW this Monday, April 15, for the final five episodes of the season. Laurel-2's crime wave sees the introduction of new villain Shadow Thief, the return of Sara Lance (Caity Lotz), and puts Felicity and Dinah head-to-head in a battle for Laurel-2's soul. Here's a look at […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's review of ABC's Schooled. As mentioned in this week's review of The Goldbergs, it appears that ABC's sister shows are foreshadowing a build toward Schooled's season finale. In that review, we talked a little about what The Goldbergs is potentially setting up. In this review of Schooled, we're going to take a look […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's review and recap of ABC's The Goldbergs. This week, ABC's sister shows The Goldbergs and Schooled were all about foreshadowing. Foreshadowing what? We'll get there; just stay with me on this one… Erica's feeling the pressure to do something with her life on the one year anniversary of dropping out of college and moving […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's reviews of ABC's Schooled. This week's episode involves cheerleaders and an underground fight club for students. Sounds hot for Disney, right? Don't get worked up. It's Schooled, not Cinemax. First up, Lainey takes over as cheerleading coach, which puts Mellor over the moon. But, this is the 90's: Cheerleading isn't just decorating lockers […]

Welcome to Bleeding Cool's review and recap of ABC's The Goldbergs. This week's main story revolves around Erica's band – The Dropouts – getting a gig to play at a charity event at the Philadelphia Spectrum. The problem? Barry does what Barry does and inserts himself into the band in order to achieve all of his dreams by […]

Welcome back to Bleeding Cool's continuing look at the seventh season of the CW's Arrow. Last week's episode of the CW's Arrow was one of those that left you feeling… let's go with hoping that the writers don't believe in that whole "fixed points in time that can't be changed" concept because right now? The future's not too bright […]
