Arrow: Star City 2040

Much of this season of Arrow (the second to last, we recently learned) has been accented by flashes forward to a not so great future for Star City.

Supergirl: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

A lot of surprises get dished up in Supergirl’s “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” A major character of Superman lore shows up, they follow up on James’ nasty cliffhanger, and a few people are in need of a status update.

Flash: Failure is an Orphan

Flash’s “Failure is an Orphan” is a grim title for an episode with a lot of surprises, few of them good. The season-long clash with Cicada looks like it might be wrapping up, but things get complicated.

Arrow: Training Day

Team Arrow struggles to adjust to their new status quo in “Training Day.” While the team has some growing pains getting used to their new role, not to mention pressure from an old enemy, the future group is getting used to each other, and Laurel gets a new subplot. There’s a lot of interesting things going on this episode.

Supergirl: Stand and Deliver

Supergirl’s season of political strife continues with “Stand and Deliver.” This is another season where the good guys can’t seem to quite catch up and the bad guys pull one nasty surprise after another.

Arrow: Brothers and Sisters

This episode title of Arrow, “Brothers and Sisters,” is fairly ironic, considering I believe every sibling relationship on the series has eventually been revealed to be some kind of step or half kind.

Supergirl: Menagerie

Supergirl’s “Menagerie” episode starts with a scene about the old saying of crime doesn’t pay.

Flash: Goldfaced

There are a lot of questionable choices and gray areas in “Goldfaced.” Team Flash has a lot of decisions to make this week, and it involves some interesting moral calculus.
