Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 14: Code Of Silence (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast)
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
This week the Starling Tribune Reporters find themselves looking back a lot to season 1 Arrow, talk about the current episode Code Of Silence, and look into the future of the show. Just in case you forgot that Oliver keeps secrets but doesn’t like to, Arrow points it out again this week. Back on the island Conklin succumbs to Oliver Queen’s knife fighting skills (if only Conklin trained better Ryan Robbins would still be with the show). As the flashbacks progress will the show really be able to reconcile season one Ollie with Flashback Ollie? “Bam Bam” came through amazingly with the fight chorography this week and the reporters love it when he comes to direct and episode. The reporters are also surprised at how fast Malcolm Merlyn integrated with H.I.V.E.. The turn to help Feilicty walk about was really fast and really Terrific! The rpoertes wish for a Cisco’ed Spartan helmet soon. Neil’s ARGUS t-shirt seems safe from the dumpster bin…at least for now. Alex, the political intern, was sorely missed this week…unless he was cleaning up a Damian Darhk mess. The reporters are cringing for William Clayton and fear the worst for Samantha Clayton (#AnnaHopkinsForCaptainMarvel). This week was again a big shakeup for the reporter’s “Who’s In The Grave” and the trio rate and debate the villains of the week. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat. Thank you for downloading and listening!

Starling Tribune - Season 4 Edition – Episode 13: Sins Of The Father (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast)
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
In a decidedly bittersweet week for Arrow, The Starling Tribune reporters Chris, Neil and Stargate Pioneer drop down their thoughts on what occurred on the screen within the episode “Sins Of The Father” and off the create with the battling DC and Arrow creative teams. The reporters run down the Father-Son/Daughter sets on the show and attempt to pick the “best” father of the bunch. The trio also attempt to identify the episode theme which has Neil confused and both SP and Chris going in opposite directions. Malcolm shows his true colors – again – and Oliver has to decide on how to deal with it (#severancepackage). The fight scenes were some of the most intense and complex since The Siege at the end of season 2 in Starling City. Nyssa and Laurel’s relationship continues to transform and possible strengthen as comrades. The Reporters also analyze The Calculator’s dual reveals to Felicity and Overwatch and how Felicity responds in kind. This week was a big shakeup for the reporter’s “Who’s In The Grave” predictions and Chris throws out a second hashtag for the episode #WallerStillLives. The reporters wrap up the episode with a list of Easter Eggs, Arrow News, Feedback and comments from the chat. Thank you for downloading and listening!

Stephen Jondrew
Stephen Jondrew The Slade Wilson story lines are some of the best stories in all of the Arrowverse. I think that it's important for people to remember the history of the universe (CW) and this feels like a kick in the face to that. I have always enjoyed Batman and Superman movies to some degree, I really enjoyed Man of Steel. However, actions like this (if true) kind of make me wish that the upcoming films flop and we see them disappear for a decade. Ya, i said it.

Starling Tribune - Season 2 Edition – League of Assassins (A CW Arrow Fan Podcast)
The LIVE Geekation 2014 Recording!
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
In this special LIVE recording edition of the Starling Tribune at Geekation 2014 Reporters Wing, Jay and Stargate Pioneer discuss the best episode of the Arrow series yet, League of Assassins. The fight choreography is amazing in this episode for starters! Reporter Wing was extremely excited to see the re-shoot scene with the newly cast Sara (Caity Lotz versus the pilot episode’s Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) but Reporters Jay and SP had already seen Caity on the Netflix season one pilot version. And Caity goes have a real life superpower as Reporter SP points out: she has perfect hair despite her survival conditions. And she gets to relive a moment from the hit movie Titanic as well! Reporter Jay is certain that he spots romantic tension between Sara and….Felicity? The reporter also discuss why Quentin recognizes Sara right away but doesn’t make that same connection with Oliver as well as he need for some advanced SWAT team style training. And while on this topic the Arrow makes some tactical mistakes as well. With Sara back her sister Lauren continues to spiral down and the reporters are disappointed to see Diggle do nothing. Reporter Wing likes to play the game “What will happen?” with SP and Jay and decides to play it around Moira’s secret. In addition to lamenting the loss of Big Belly Burger the reporters discuss the combat capabilities of Kindergarteners, the art of Arrow catching and how great Reporter Jay is at nerf dart catching (Thanks Agent Haley from Legends Of S.H.I.E.L.D.!). Reporter Wing gives us some Dr. Anthony Ivo comic book background and the reporters run down the Bat Checklist one more time including: a definition of comic book dead, the Canary references in the episode, and the League Of Assassins mention. SP wants to start a Starling City Window Repair business and his nasty gym stories return once more!
The reporters would like to thank those that were in attendance for the live episode recording including Legends Podcast cohost Beef, Legends Of SHIELD cohost Haley, and many other Geekation 2014 attendees!

Starling Tribune - Season 2 Edition – Crucible
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
In this edition of the Starling Tribune the reporters Wing, Jay and Stargate Pioneer discuss the packed fourth episode of season two titled “Crucible.” The reporters comment on the name since it is a re-tread from the sixth episode of season one, “Legacies,” in which the concept of Crucible was explored. SP is finally vindicate as he finally gets to the point in his series watch where Sara returns from the dead! The reporters also comment on Sara’s character re-casting, Sara’s capture, and whether or not the episode got the Sara reveal right in the episode since she was in both the flashbacks and the show’s real-time scenes.
One of the most powerful scenes in the episode was when Sara watches her Dad, Quentin Lance, ask Oliver Queen for help over Laurel through the window. And the reporter discuss Laurel’s struggle with alcohol and wonder if Laurel’s DUI stop was actually a villain setup or not. And pay attention to Sara’s question about Slade Wilson.
In another major storyline, the reporters all express their happiness at the return of Isabell Rochev (A.K.A. Summer Glau). And Reporter Wing runs down Isabell’s comic book background.
The reporters also discuss the live action fighting and shooting scenes. Just how realistic is it in this episode? And the reporters give their take on why the citizens of Starling City and specifically The Glades are fighting so much for what they have left instead of searching for a better opportunity or taken somewhere else.
The flashbacks in the episode were full of plot even though there was not a lot of time spent on them during the episode. The reporters tell what they enjoyed about them including “Prochnost.” Reporter Jay gives background into Brother Blood’s mask while SP thinks it is something out of Stargate. The Reporters answer the question many of us have asked: How does Oliver get out of his Arrow costume so quickly?
With all the new characters in the show the reporters discuss if there is enough show for all of the characters. Are characters like Diggle, Felicity, Lyla, Sin, Thea and Roy given enough screen time to carry them forward? SP asks where is Moira after dropping the fact that she has a secret. The trio of reporters break down their weekly Bat Checklist. Stay tuned until after the credits for some fun clips with Reporters Jay, Wing and JS.

Starling Tribune - Season 2 Edition – Broken Dolls
The Official Arrow Podcast of the Gonna Geek Network
In this edition of the Starling Tribune the reporters Wing, Jay and Stargate Pioneer discuss the third season of season two titled “Broken Dolls.” The reporters mention how aptly named the episode is because several major female characters are “broken” including one who we do not even know who she is yet! And the Dollmaker is so evil he shakes all three reporters to the core. Reporter SP doesn’t know who The Black Canary is (still) and it’s up to Jay and Wing to give him the knowledge that he is sorely lacking, ESPECIALLY since he hasn’t even starting reading the episode credits yet. While Jay and Wing do have background comic knowledge of The Black Canary and the comic references to the newly introduced ship’s name Amazo, none of the reporters have background knowledge of Sin but the reporters have some interesting theories to share. There’s even a brief diversion into Aquaman. Reporter SP also is stuck on dead bodies apparently now in both the DC and Marvel Comic Universes thanks to Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the Arrow pilot. Roy continues to be extremely reckless and is in sore need of training….as is Detective Lance apparently Mr. Starsky and Hutch. The Detective might need to learn police tactics in the 21st century but apparently everyone must listen to his names since “Arrow” catches on like wildfire. Oliver might have a new vigilante name but it doesn’t help him run his company any better and it apparently doesn’t help him sleep at home anymore either since the Queen Mansion seems to be a set of the past. Reporter SP gives a big shoutout to Stargate SG-1 alum Teryl Rothery who comes into Starling City as Moira’s attorney and Reporters Jay and Wing geek out about the big reveal that Ra’s al Ghul will be involved in the Arrow TV universe. The trio of reporters break down their weekly Bat Checklist and Reporter Jay gives a huge shoutout to listener Adam. Stay tuned until after the credits for some fun clips with Reporters Jay, Wing and JS.
