I wish they would show the CGI shots with temp effects in the extras when the shows come out on DVD just for kicks. I'm glad to see the final shot turned out well because I've seen the temporary one and even by temp effects standards it was absolutely ridiculous.
Honestly what did you expect ? Both shows are gearing up the their big season finals and this cross over was greenlit like at the last second. It was very nice to see both heroes interact with each other - but it obviously cant be compared to the 2 episode Flash/Arrow/Legends cross-over which.
Episode was great, albeit a bit rushed.
The people and firefighters coming to save Supergirl was super cheesy, but it's a much better message about superheroes than anything Batman v Superman has to offer, and consistent with the presentation and themes of Supergirl the TV show.
A lot of Arrow/Flash viewers came in expecting the same tone as the Flash. Even though the Flash is a lot lighter than Arrow it's still very dark in places, especially with its villains. Supergirl is mostly positivity and is definitely the most family-friendly of the shows.
And it was way lighter, even for a Supergirl episode. Supergirl can do drama as well as the Flash (the Red Kryptonite and Black Mercy episodes are a standout) but didn't have time to get that deep in this episode.
I feel like this was a great crossover but a bad way to introduce Flash and DCTV fans to Supergirl and didn't do the Flash much justice either, considering how nerfed he had to be to fight on equal terms with Silver Banshee and Livewire.

I was looking forward to this episode, but ended up wanting something different. It was just alright, more disappointing if anything. Flash got his ass whooped and how criminals easily escape all the time is beyond me lol.
Needed more Manhunter too.

Next Year I need a 4 hour crossover
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Supergirl X Flash X Arrow X Legends
make it happen !
Crisis on Infinite Earths
Supergirl X Flash X Arrow X Legends
make it happen !
I'm for that minus Arrow.
I've accepted that what was once my favorite TV series is beyond saving and would only bring down the other 2 characters

Also minus Legends. In fact, just cross these two again, but spend more time on it.
You are nuts - Arrow and his crew are great in crossover even if his show sucks. We need Ollie and Kat to interact. Also Diggle needs to see Kara..lol.

All four of you standing there doing nothing, you look like the attractive yet non-threatening racially diverse cast of a CW show
Kat Grant you are my queen
Kat Grant you are my queen
What is this nonsense, I'll take Oliver outclassing the metas and Diggle's amazement any day of the week. Any time there's a competent non-big bad villain Ollie ups his game to where it should actually be. Canary cheers up whenever she's not on Arrow and Thea gets sassy. Add in Roy for some enthusiasm too.
There won't be room for Felicity though, Emily Bett Rickards has a packed schedule as the lead of her show.
oh strupher

Whew been catching up on this since last week.
Pleasantly surprised by how good it is! Is there nothing Berlanti/Kreisberg doesnt turn into gold?!

If they ever did do a Crisis crossover, I would love to see -- just as cameos -- quick insert shots of other DC TV Earths being affected by red skies: Dean Cain in the Superman suit, John Wesley Shipp in the Flash costume (maybe battling Mark Hamill's Trickster?), Tom Welling, Linda Carter... Probably complicated as hell to pull off but it would be a neat nod to a DC TV multiverse.

Did your earth not have Constantine, or Gotham season one, or Agents of SHIELD season one?

Hey. Some of Constantine's S1 was awesome.
Well, to be fair, it wouldn't really have any meaning for Barry. Barry has no concept of Superman, and would have been like "Cool!" and just imagined a male version of Supergirl.
Matt Ryan and uhhhhhh that gif of Zed?

Whole Feast of Friends episode was spot-on, with incredible finale. I've actually forgot what exactly John did in this comicbook story, so when watching the show I've realized what his plan was that was just...dear God. Not only that episode captured Hellblazer essence. It actually surpassed the issue of comic book that was the source material.
I don't mean to call you Patrick O'Brian, but...

Umm....
I can't pinpoint what makes this clip seem silly.
I think the problem with this shot was that it didn't do anything with her powers. Instead she's somewhat slapping a piece of wood and jumping off like a 3 foot platform. The only way this would make sense is if she used her scream to knock the handrail away and jumped off and landed with her scream too.
The scene doesn't make her seem powerful or scary, just too lazy to use the stairs.

Member
The writer? I think that joke flew way over my head
Which is why she used the elevator earlier lol...the best scene was the whole ice cream part,everyone looked so natural and happy,especially Kara lol,just smiling and all happy eating her ice cream slowly,like hey new guy I'm an Alien and he approves and all...
James didnt look that happy...lol.

Great episode and cheesy as hell in the best way possible. If Supergirl goes to the CWverse, she needs to bring Kat Grant with her. Maybe she could end the bullshit that is going on with Olicity.

In the comics she has super strength and speed on top of her banshee scream
I thought the same thing. You just gotta roll with it.
Roooooollllllllllllllllllllllllll with it.
This is no time for comics, WrenchNinja.
Aye. Livewire and Silver Banshee's shenanigans felt very small-potatoes, kind of like they belonged on the old Superfriends cartoon. I feel like most villains today, in comics, cartoons, or on Flash or Arrow, would have spotted and blasted those firemen before they got to her.

This was the first actual episode I watched through. Jeez what the hell? Silver Banshee went through this crazy transformation like out of nowhere. I mean her costume that is. Live wire's acting... woooooow. haha
Needs a haters gonna hate caption

The episode was average for me but Barry and Kara are pretty good together, both actors are charming and it shows.

This is my first complete episode of Supergirl and it didn't leave the best impression. Silver Banshee, she discovers she has powers then gets some grey highlights, fake contacts and slaps on some halloween makeup. Worst looking superpower villain/hero in recent history.

The look for Silver Banshee was okay, but I can't get the image of these two goofing around making her look like a Day of the Dead reveler out of my mind. Kind of wish that look emerged as part of the curse. Like... when did they go shopping for contacts and shit?
Time for another Berlanti-Verse vs Smallville "Who wore it best."
