Everything about ‘Crucible’ screams: we need to talk about Sara (Caity Lotz)! In a surprisingly forthcoming fashion, the identity of the mysterious female vigilante is revealed to be the youngest Lance daughter. Cue no one’s surprise.

This week on Arrow: we turn the spotlight on the Lance family as Laurel (Katie Cassidy) mistakes being bitchy for grieving and former Detective Lance, now Beat Cop Lance (Paul Blackthorne) gets far too psychoanalytic in his pursuit of the bad guy who got away.

The second episode of The CW’s Arrow suggests that the fall-out from the destruction of the Glades will continue to drive the narrative for some time as ‘Identity’ explores how crime festers in the areas most devastated by tragedy.

Arrow review – 2×01: ‘City Of Heroes’

October 10, 2013 by Joe Lipsett

One show was a huge surprise last year – the rare kind of self-assured show that jumps out of the box relatively fully-formed, with a distinctive tone and well-defined (albeit work-in-progress) characters. That show was Arrow and it’s finally back for S2. Is the magic still here?

The Undertaking is upon us and destruction is guaranteed on the season finale of The CW’s Arrow. Can Oliver (Stephen Amell) and company defuse Malcolm Merlyn’s (John Barrowman) earthquake device before it levels the Glades? As if you even have to ask.
