The Subtle Cliffhangers of Arrow's Season 4 Finale
Season 4 of Arrow came to a close Wednesday night, May 25th, on the heels of The Flash’s monumental cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering where the big “oomph” was for our man in green. Arrow ended on not just one but several cliffhangers, subtle though they may be, and one for each major character.

Have The Writers Failed Jessica Jones?
I'm more of a DC girl than Marvel, but I saw Jessica Jones in my Netflix queue, read the synopsis, and it sounded like a show I might like. I've always loved dark, gritty dramas. Add in a touch of the superhero, and you've got me. So I gave it a shot. I made it through episode 7, struggling a bit with each one. But that is the episode that ended the show for me.

The Evolution of Legends of Tomorrow's Captain Cold
DC has an edge when it comes to creating villains. Out of the minds of its creators, we’ve been introduced to Deathstroke, Mr. Freeze, General Zod, and, of course, Zoom. These are the dark villains that’ll never change because they are evil at heart. But then there are those guys that straddle the line between good and not sure if they want to be evil. Men like Leonard Snart.

'Arrow's Best Down And Dirty Fight Scenes From The Past 4 Seasons
With the potential for Arrow to return to its roots in Season 5, we probably have some edge-of-the-seat heart-pounding fights to look forward to. I'm already excited about the one-shot Stephen Amell talked about in Episode 1, and I can only imagine and hope there will be plenty of Parkour scenes. Those are always phenomenal and unbelievable at the same time! Here's a look back to remind all of us of the magnificent fight scenes over the past four seasons! Though it was difficult, I managed to limit myself to two scenes per season with the exception of Season 4. Though Season 4 had quite a few incredible battles, there was only one I wanted to highlight.

5 Times Captain Lance Delivered The Feels on 'Arrow'
*WARNING: Spoilers for Arrow ahead. Proceed with caution!* Captain Quentin Lance didn't start out as one of my favorite characters on Arrow. Because I was so dedicated to Oliver Queen, I found Lance's treatment of him tough to swallow. Oliver tried to atone for his sins, but Lance was having no part of it.

Time To Toughen Up: What The Atom In 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Needs To Become A Hero
I like Ray Palmer as a character in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. I think he's a super nice guy, but he might be just a bit too nice. It's difficult to see him as a hero when the heroic qualities only come with his suit. There are times when heroes need to get tough. We've seen that happen with Arrow and all of its masked heroes as well as The Flash and the other "legends" on Legends of Tomorrow. Ray, however, has remained nice guy and that's about it.

Not every hero is out on the street saving people. Some support the superheroes, giving them strength when theirs falters. When the superheroes need saving, they turn to ones they trust the most. That's why Iris West is The Flash's hero.
