Glee - The Quarterback

Real life hits hard as current and past members of New Directions come together to honor the passing of Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith, who passed away from a drug overdose this summer) beginning with an ensemble empty stage performance of “Seasons of Love” from RENT. From there “The Quarterback” picks up three weeks after the funeral as Mr. Shue (Matthew Morrison)  gathers as many of his current and former Glee Club members as possible to find a way to memorialize their friend the only way they know how – through song. “The Quarterback” is a heartfelt goodbye containing several emotionally raw scenes and well-chosen performances providing a fitting farewell to both the actor and the character.

Arrow - City of Heroes

Arrow‘s Second Season begins on the island but not as a flashback as Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (David Ramsey) head to the middle of nowhere to pull their friend out of his self-imposed exile after the tragedy in the Glades and his failure to save the city and honor his father’s legacy. Oliver reluctantly returns to flagging company in the crosshairs of a corporate takeover by Isabel Rochev (Summer Glau), his mother (Susanna Thompson) in prison awaiting trial, and deadly new band of machine-gun wielding hood-wearing copycats taking up the slack in the missing Green Arrow’s absence including killing the mayor and taking Laurel (Katie Cassidy) and many of the city’s wealthy elite hostage. When that fails to get their point across, the vigilantes decide to target the city’s favorite media darling – Oliver Queen.
