I'm glad so many people got to check out The Flash today. I saw a bunch on twitter saying that they need to go watch the show now. I hope they're ready for that first season for The Flash.
Nobody was ready for the first season of The Flash.

Just watched it. Loved it.
I think Kara should go to the CWverse though, and see her pal around with Crisco and Caitlin.
I'm considering watching Supergirl now, mainly because of Melissa Benoist. Watching she and Grant together was just incredibly charming.

Oh good... an irish banshee.
Re-Watched the episode.
Any scene with Livewire or Shiver Banshee is still super-cringey and hard to watch. I refuse to let that go. Both the dialogue and acting are atrocious.
The writers are also in desperate need of better choregraphy for super-powered fights.
All that said, Cat, Kara and Wynn are all treasures. I love them all so much. James...I want to like James. No. I actually like James. He is just so BOOORING.
Succinctly put.

Next crossover needs a Toyman/Trickster team up or fued threatening to destroy a city.

The villains made that painful to watch.
Barry and Kara are a good enough pair though.

Also, Barry is a better super hacker than Winn. Keep on taking those Ls, Lose.
Black Canary versus Silver Banshee would be some fight. And it can't be hard to get Ricci booked on Arrow.

The episode was enjoyable, despite the villains. Kara and Barry were just great together. That talk on the balcony was so enjoyable, they really have great chemistry.
All in all the episode was pretty much what I thought it would be. A rushed mess, saved by the two main leads. We had a villain origin, a prison break, a recurring villain getting out and teaming up with the new girl, Barry's introduction and establishing him and his origin in that universe, character moments, romance subplot, two fights and the whole "they'll never love me again" subplot. That's just too much for one single episode.
But like I said, I still got excited throughout the episodes. The writers obviously did the best they could, but they really should've left out one of the villains. That fight at the end was so horrible, I just couldn't stop laughing (to hide the pain from cringing).
Still so happy that we got this crossover and I hope it just paves the way for a two-parter next season.

The special effect is better. But a better character, come on now. Not a chance.

It was a dumb fun episode but barry jobbed hard. Glad cat grant is still the best part of Supergirl though.

I'd assumed the funny guy was Hispanic. But Google says no. So yeah her statement doesn't really make sense when its just the token black guy who's not white.
That's Arrow currently.
On the other hand, The Flash's cast is majority non-white and there's three black/biracial actors in Legends.

Besides the interactions between Barry and Kara the episode was weak for me. They've been building up that conflict between Siobhan and Kara for a couple eps, and it ended rather anti climatically. Banshee seemed Alittle wasted in the crossoverWould've been nice if it could've been a strong Supergirl episode, but that usually requires Hank, Alex or more Cat and some of the old:
I think you mean Livewire. She was da bomb in her first appearance and was reduced to nothing here.
Oh Siobhan was definitely screwed over by the last minute change to a crossover, and probably Winn too who had to jump between enthusiasm over The Flash and despair over the girl he liked.
The original Flash/Arrow crossover remains the best, because it was planned well in advance and didn't have to set up Legends and the Hawk family. I suspect that'll be the case for next season's Supergirl/Arrowverse crossover when CBS gives them adequate advance warning. They'll need it, they can't just walk over to the other set.
She's the only villain of the week who really worked frankly. Great effects, cool music and an actress with presence. Compared to the other villains at least.

The villains ruined it, the girl in the cheap day of the dead cosplay especially. Overall my least favourite cross over so far. But yeah, if you haven't watched The Flash get on it, it's really great.
I thought it was a fun crossover episode. I haven't really watched The Flash, but they did a decent job catching people up. I never felt lost.
Shame that J'onn was out of town, though.
The villains were a bit weak. And the ending was very "Raimi Spider-Man" with ordinary citizens helping our heroes. But it's fine. The real highlights were Barry and Kara just fanboying/fangirling around each other and connecting as superheroes.

Sincerely wished the movement of her cape to make sense to the speed they were travelling at. Man of Steel is a good reference for improvement.
One woman, one black guy, two white guys is what passes for diverse on Hollywood. It is a joke on how 'diverse' casts are formed.
He is such a trophy wife at this point.. Hope they have more interesting plans for him down the line.
I mean he's alright but I kinda wish Chyler Leigh had second billing over him, cause the Danvers sisters amirite?
Lana lane is the most boring. I feel like James is the moral center of the show.

You mean Lucy? Or Lana Lang? She is not in this right?
What? No. It's very likely to be renewed.

So Cisco Ramon doesn't exist, even as a doppelgänger? Nor Barry, Wells??
If the multiverse applies, they should exist. The same way there should be a planet krypton on Barry's universe. Maybe Superman is still in his Smallville stage in Barry's/Oliver's timeline, but somewhere after and before Rip Hunter's timeline he emerges (men of steel line in Legends) and becomes known as Superman.
Perhaps the roles are reversed, and Barry Allen of Kara's universe hasn't been struck by lightning yet.. And Barry searched for Cisco when his name is Francisco? Lol interdimensional travel

Eh, they could simply be not important enough to be found. Maybe Wells is a taxi driver in LA. Maybe Cisco died young when he was still 5 years old. Could be anything.

The chemistry between Kara and Barry was a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this episode.
There are quite some possibilities, the easiest probably being that he searched for Star Labs or an equivalent and then didn't look for Cisco specifically. If he is just some YouTube blogger for instance, he isn't interesting for Barry.
