So let's start with the Arrow stuff cause this was technically an Arrow episode! I'm so glad we got Felicity's reasonings in this episode cause it would have been annoying to drag it out more. I kind of like the role reversal in that Felicity is scared of losing Oliver and being afraid to jinx what they have know while Oliver is terrified that Felicity doesn't love him as much as he loves her. This fits with what I thought cause I was like there's no way Felicity just never wants to get married cause she was so excited two seasons ago. I also loved that Barry and Iris were so involved in Olicity and how they both talked to each separately and how Iris didn't break Felicity's trust by telling Oliver why Felicity was saying no to marriage. We're chugging along nicely to the double wedding.
Sidenote, I freaking love Iris and Felicity's friendship. They feel so much more real than Caitlin and Iris.
It was also nice to see a hint of the team with a quick scene with Curtis and then a quick fight scene with Mr Terrific, Black Canary and Wild Dog. We also got a quick mention of Diggle recovering which I guess is why he's not part of this crossover. It makes sense but I still miss him.
We got a little Westallen tonight with them being all precious and looking at the tape of Reverse Flash dying the first time. I loved that Iris knew what Barry was thinking before he said it. Like I said earlier, I love Felicity and Iris together so it was fun seeing them just talk and comfort each other and sneak around Star Labs together. Who thinks they're going to kick some major ass at some point tomorrow especially since most of the team is on Earth X now!
The Firestorm struggle was expanded a little more this week with Jax admitting that he's upset cause he sees Stein as sort of a father figure and it's just hitting him that Stein is leaving. Mick was also around and being ridiculous. He was so amused with Frost and I actually snorted out loud when he tried to scare Caitlin into becoming her. Speaking of, I loved seeing her fight evil Oliver even though she did lose.
Alex was still super awkward around Sara and I love how Sara's like dude get over it, we had a one night stand no feelings were hurt and that it led to Alex thinking about Maggie and how much she loved her and how she wants her back. I love that Kara and Alex are talking about this and that Kara was trying to comfort her cause their relationship is my favorite part of Supergirl.
And now last but not least, let's talk villains! We did find out that this Reverse Flash is the same one Barry defeated in season 1 and they sort of handwaved away any questions by saying that time travel is weird so I'm not even going to bother. I loved Kara's reaction to Earth X Kara and Oliver being married and we found out that they've invaded not only to take over this Earth but because Earth X Kara needs a new heart and our Kara is a perfect match. I was curious about that conversation between Eobard and Kara about Oliver picking Kara over the Nazis but now it all makes sense. I kind of love that Oliver no matter on what Earth or universe is such a closet romantic.
Oh and I almost forgot the best part! TOMMY FREAKING MERLYN was back and I screamed when he took the Prometheus mask off. I bet it was a nod to all the fans that thought that Prometheus was Tommy last year. I loved it and it was so nice to see Colin back for a few minutes!
All the heroes were taken to Earth X and it's going to be so much fun. I assume that by the end of this crossover Earth X's Nazis will be defeated and Earth X will be freed. I wonder if we'll see the leader that everyone keeps talking about or if it's Oliver cause Kara seemed to hint at it because he was the one to make the plan and she talked about him being stronger than Hitler so.... Ugh not a sentence I thought I'd ever be writing.
Tune in tomorrow for part 3 and 4 in Flash and Legends of Tomorrow! I will be reviewing both!
xoxo Allie
