DC’s TV Universe expanded last season to include both Legends of Tomorrow AND Supergirl, to thoroughly dominate the CW’s weekly schedule. Arrow is now the old man of the group, entering its fifth season last night. Last year was a rough one for Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). He tried to step up for the city he loves by representing it as Mayor, but that was met with dangerous opposition. Olicity never stood a chance at pure happiness. And then there was the magical bad guy, Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) making life hell in Star City. This included handing Oliver, and Team Arrow their greatest loss as Laurel (Katie Cassidy) was murdered. Darhk was vanquished, and Oliver is now left to defend the city both as Mayor and The Green Arrow alone.

Last season on The Flash, Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) had another, more deadly speedster nemesis than Reverse Flash – Zoom (Teddy Sears). Zoom came from Earth-2 and began sending metas from his world to kill Barry. He wanted his speed (doesn’t everyone?), and to be the ultimate power. They were joined by Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) from the other Earth because Zoom had kidnapped his daughter. What commenced was a crazy exciting season filled with doppelgängers, vibes, the speed force, and crossovers galore. Barry finally got the girl and a new brother, but lost his dad (John Wesley Shipp) for real. So Barry went back to that fateful night and stopped Reverse Flash from killing his mother.

After taking a break for a few weeks with the Honest Trailers, I am back and right on time, as Screen Junkies just released one of The CW’s The Flash the afternoon before the Season 3 premiere. The Flash is part of DC’s TV universe along with Supergirl, Arrow, and Legends of Tomorrow, and tonight starts the ultra popular “Flashpoint” story arc, where Barry Allen (Grant Gustin) traveled back in time to save his mother, and inadvertently altered the timeline so that he is NOT The Flash. So strap in as the Screen Junkies prep you for season 3 with an HT recap of the first two seasons.

Check out the Honest Trailer below.

My favorite boys are back pretty soon, and it would not be Supernatural if one brother wasn’t going after another brother to save his life. The longevity of the show is due to its ability to still surprise you after all this time, even when the characters act predictably. Of course we already knew what Dean’s (Jensen Ackles) reaction was going to be… the Winchesters are our family too.

October is right around the corner, and with it comes the busy, busy television season. For me, I end up married to my television in large part to the shows on The CW. Before we get there, let’s have a little fun with our favorite funny and oh-so-beautiful people. The CW has released photoshoot videos for Arrow, The Flash, The Vampire Diaries, iZombie, Supergirl, The 100, The Originals, and new shows Frequency and Riverdale.
