The last part of the 4-part crossover aired and it was just as much fun as the Flash episode. Two of my favorite things about these crossovers are always the bromance between Barry and Oliver and the way that characters who normally don't spend time together do hang out. It really just reminds us as viewers that these people are all friends and collegues and each one lives in a bigger universe that you sometimes forget just watching one of these shows (all except Supergirl of course).
The episode was kinda broken up into four parts. Cisco, Felicity, Mick, Amaya and Nate all went to 1951 to try to capture a Dominator from the past to figure out what the Dominators wanted from Earth. At first I thought it was really weird that Cisco and Felicity came along cause like what could they do in the kidnapping and capturing part of the mission but it was so nice to see Cisco and Felicity talk and geek out over the Wave Rider. There were so many amazing scenes between them like the one where they're freaking out and Nate is like the babysitter and trying to steer them to where they need to go or the one where Felicity and Cisco are in awe about the Dominator communicator Cisco has and Mick clears his causing Felicity to fly out of her chair or the one where Cisco and Felicity save the team and Felicity goes someone order tech support. Slayed. Also as nice as it was that Cisco wanted to save the Dominator from being tortured, what was the point? As they said later on in the episode, this is war. One less Dominator in the past is one less Dominator in the future.
While this was happening, Oliver, Barry, Ray and Sara went to meet with the new President but were ambushed by the same guy who talked down to Lyla in the Flash crossover. He apparently made a deal with the Dominators that if Earth gave Barry to them, the Dominators would leave but if they didn't, the Dominators would drop a bomb that would kill millions. This was what confused me a little bit. Why did the metas scare the Dominators so badly? Even if all the metas decided to go evil, how would we even be a threat? Not only do we not know where the Dominators' planet is but we don't have spaceships to go there yet. Although I guess if they're created in the future, attacking now would be like a preventative strike but then again, how would taking Barry stop that? Barry's just one person. It was kind of worth all this confusion just to see the look on Barry's face when he released that the Dominators attacked because of Flashpoint. How they knew that, who the hell knows.
Meanwhile Stein met his daughter for the second time and they along with Caitlin were working on a weapon to defeat the Dominators. The weirdest line of this episode came from Caitlin who said something about how Lily couldn't focus on the nanotech while she was trying to get daddy to love her and I straight up did a double take. Is that a bit of Killer Frost popping through cause girl that was bitchyyyyyyy? I kind of felt bad for the daughter though but I was surprised to find out that she had no idea what Stein did for a living. I had expected her to know cause his wife knew.
The episode wrapped with everyone attaching the weapons that Stein's daughter made to the Dominators and Firestorm transmuting the bomb into water which was seriously one of the coolest things I've seen on these shows!! I loved the ending when the president gave medals to all the heroes IN THE FREAKING HALL OF JUSTICE!!!! I WANT THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA NOW PLEASE!!! Ugh that shot when the Wave Rider flew down to land on the Hall of Justice showed such an amazing shot of the building and I'm sitting here like somebody help me. The group hug between Kara, Oliver and Barry was adorable and it's kind of hilarious that Cisco made her a mini interdimensional portal maker. I really hope they use this on Supergirl and call like Oliver or something. We've already seen Flash on Supergirl, I kinda want Green Arrow or the Legends to pop over.
The final scene between Oliver and Barry was literally such the feels. For some reason I felt like this crossover was very much a passing of the torch from Oliver to Barry and I've been hearing rumors that season 5 may be Arrow's last season and my heart will literally break if this is true. I CAN'T HAVE BOTH ARROW AND AGENTS OF SHIELD LEAVE MY TV SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME!!!
This week was amazing and I cannot believe how lucky we are to be seeing this amazingness on our tv screens. The finales of Arrow, Flash and Legends will be airing next week and I should be able to review them all for you! Bye for now!
