Warning! Spoilers below Arrow 5.22 “Missing.”

Last week, Green Arrow (Stephen Amell) finally caught Adrian Chase (Josh Segarra), albeit too easily. The gang is in rare celebratory mode, but c’mon this is Arrow, that won’t last. The show opens with a hilarious back and forth between Quentin (Paul Blackthorne) & Mayor Queen:

Lance : “Your approval is back up to 70%”

Oliver: “Was it ever that high?”

Lance: “No”

Last week on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The Legends headed to World War I where J.R.R.Tolkien (yes, that one) could point them to the Blood of Christ, needed to destroy the Spear of Destiny, which was now whole and whispering to them. They got the blood but lose the spear via Leonard Snart (not in Mick’s head). Mick (Dominic Purcell), sick of being on the outside, joined the Legion of Doom, and changed the fabric of reality. Many Lord of the Rings references splashed throughout this episode, including a speech by Rip (Arthur Darvill) clearly meant to inspire Tolkien.

Spoilers below.

Last week on iZombie, a mental patient friend of Major (Robert Buckley) commits suicide, but as is the case on this show, there is more to this than meets the eye. Liv (Rose McIver) eats mental patient brains, and Liv (as well as the audience), loses all sense of reality. The writers did a great job making us feel like we were crazy too. Was I the only one who really believed the weather guy was real, and that Liv confessed her zombie-ness to Major?
