Arrow S01E10 – Review

By: Moira Kirland & Ben Sokolowski (story)

The Story: If people are dying by fire, there’s only one thing to do—throw a party.

The Review: I give a lot of unsolicited advice in these posts—granted, one could argue that every single review we do is unsolicited, but let’s set that aside—and I think it comes from my conditioned instinct as an editor and also my innate desire to control things.  About 99 percent of the time, all suggestions go unheeded, probably because no one in any position of power actually reads or cares about them, but once in a blue moon, I get the thrill of being heard.

It’s all a delusion of grandeur in my mind, of course, since no one will change anything just because some upstart blogger suggests it.   More likely, it’s a matter of my just happening to tap into a problem so obvious that even the creators can’t really ignore it anymore.  I’m pretty sure that’s the case with my point back in the fifth episode, where I thought it was a waste the show didn’t capitalize on the legal/police drama it had going for it.
