Stephen Amell promises "crazy" second half of Arrow season 5
Fans of the lineup of DC superhero TV shows on The CW will probably attest that the showrunners handle the "hiatus" or "break" between the fall and winter portions of a season better than most networks and shows.

Other Highlights
Aliens 30th Anniversary Panel
While Ridley Scott prepares to debut Alien: Convenant in theaters, James Cameron and Sigourney Weaver were making an appearance at SDCC2016 in order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their contribution to the franchise, Aliens. Many a topic got discussed during the panel. Check out some that for yourself.
First Prison Break Reboot Trailer
The return of Prison Break is somewhat unexpected (even in these days and times of so many reboots), especially since principal cast members like Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell and Sarah Wayne Callies have all moved on to become even bigger icons within the geek community. That's not to mention the fact that Prison Break was a concept that wore out its welcome in later seasons; so is the reboot worth a watch? Check out the trailer.
