Supergirl Season 3 Episode 8 Review

Oh my gosh guys! It's finally here! It's finally time! It's the 4-part crossover and this time, it really is a 4-part one! So much happened but a lot of this episode revolved around character beats rather than the big bad which I really enjoyed! Let's dive in!

So I guess I'll separate this by show. Since this was a Supergirl episode, let's start with that. I loved that we opened with Kara fighting a Dominator and all the jokes about Dominators being so last year were hilarious. I loved that we got a slight shot of Mon El but honestly guys after last week, Karamel has kind of soured for me. Like I don't blame Mon El for moving on but I blame the writers for some terrible writing. There's no good way to fix this cause we all know Kara and Mon El are getting back together so either Mon El divorces his wife (ugh) or she dies (double ugh) and I doubt they're pretending to be married like I saw some people comment. The whole situation makes me want Kara to move on and not give Mon El another shot. But again since everyone at the wedding asked her about where he was, I doubt they'll end. I'm excited to see her play around with our other heroes again!

Now to Alex who slept with Sara like we've all been begging for. Ever since Alex came out, everyone's been like get her with Sara and it did not disappoint. I loved that they took shots together and ended up in bed but then the best was how awkward Alex was about it the next morning and her mini freak out with Kara who was amused by the whole situation. I also loved seeing her and Sara kick some ass together and then mutually respect one another for their badassness. 

Next to the Legends crew where we only saw Firestorm having a real storyline. I was surprised though that Ray didn't come to the wedding but Mick did. Like the others I understand that Barry and Iris don't know but Ray they do and they're better friends with than Mick. I'm assuming this was cause it'd be funny or something to have him around. We got more of Martin and Jax trying to break up Firestorm and honestly I'm a little sick of this now. Like do it already. We all know Victor Garber is leaving, why drag it out so much? I'm still curious how they'll do it and if Jax will keep his Firestorm powers cause honestly if he loses them it'd lead to some cool storyline but also why would he even be on the Waverider anymore. 

I also loved seeing Caitlin and Stein together cause they have the most precious relationship and it's always nice when Caitlin talks about Ronnie. They had a bunch of moments together last crossover and I'm glad we got more now. I loved his reaction to her Frost outfit and her explanation of it and how he knew that she helped with the Firestorm compound cause he knows her so well. It's adorable tbh.

The Arrow stuff was pretty awesome though you know me and my bias. Oliver and Barry being bros is always fun and I loved Barry's little damn when Oliver came out dressed to the nines. Same Barry same. I also loved their little talk and also the girls' talk with Felicity about whether Olicity would get married. I know this whole thing is supposed to be all dramatic and everything but honestly who hasn't seen those double wedding pictures by now? We all know Oliver and Felicity are going to get married by the end of this but this does not mean I'm not curious to know why Felicity shut him down. I wonder if it has to do with how poorly the last time went and if she's afraid to try again or if it has to do with how if you're married you can't testify for your spouse and with Oliver's trial, she's a big part of covering for him. Also Oliver babe, your first proposal was so much more romantic and now you can't even get down on a knee?

Sidenote, speaking of people left out of the wedding, where was all of Team Arrow? Especially Diggle!!

Now to the man and woman of the hour! For an episode about their wedding, Iris and Barry didn't really get too many moments together and honestly this is pretty on par with the normal which is unfortunate. I did love Joe's speech though and I teared up when Barry teared up when he saw Iris. She looked so gorgeous in her wedding dress. I also loved him leaving breakfast and a note for Iris in the morning.

Cisco looks like he's going sidelined for this crossover due to a concussion and he doesn't seem to be the only one. Wally is going to be protecting Joe and Cecile so he's probably out too. Why bring him back if he's just going to be sidelined again. Also not that I'm complaining but where was Ralph? I feel like we'll probably see them tomorrow during the Flash episode.

Oh man I almost forgot all about our big bads!! As we thought the big bads are the evil Nazi versions of our heroes from Earth X and it looks like so much fun! So far we've only seen Kara and Oliver who are together on this Earth or so it seems and Reverse Flash as well as Prometheus. I can't wait to see who else we get. I'm also not sure what their plan is yet. Do they want to take over this Earth too or are they afraid the Earth X resistance wants to bring these heroes over to help so they want to take them out before they can? Either way, I can't wait to see more!!

Part 2 of the crossover is on Arrow so keep an eye out for that review later tonight!
