Let's dive in. I loved seeing Barry and Oliver acting like the villains tonight with knocking a big steel structure onto kids so that weird fake doctor now acting as fake Superman would have to save them. The best part though was when they went to that bar that was owned by villain Cisco (excuse me Mr Ramon) with bartender Gary (always love when he pops up) and bouncer Jimmy. It was funny that not only did the fake Superman take away Barry's speed but he took away Oliver's fighting skills too which led me to wonder why everyone in that bar feared them if they were clearly sucky villains! I did wish we got to see more characters pop up as evil versions of themselves (like where was Iris and Felicity) but it's always a pleasure to see Cisco play a different version of himself and he was my favorite tonight (besides Superman obviously.)
Speaking of Superman, I was so glad that we got more of him especially since this was the Supergirl portion of the crossover and I loved every moment of it. Tyler Hoechlin is an amazing Superman and every time he pops up I wish I could see more of him! He did an amazing job playing the villain and also playing Superman while seeming like two separate people especially when he was talking to himself. One of the funniest moments of the episode was when he though Kara turned into Cisco for a second in the Fortress. I also loved the idea that he was the only one able to hold and control The Book of Destiny cause though the show likes to do stuff to show that Supergirl is just as badass as Superman, in my heart of hearts I will always think Superman is the strongest DC hero so when there are things that only he can do, my heart warms the same as when Oliver gets the praise he should.
We also got a little more Lois and she was pretty brave to come over to Earth 1 when it needed help which is such a Lois thing to do. It was also sweet to watch Clark propose to her (by crushing the diamond himself lol) and to find out that they were pregnant. I was kind of hoping that Clark would appear at least once more over on Supergirl cause it still feels silly that the alien crisis they're facing wouldn't seem like a big deal to Clark though tbh I still don't entirely understand why Kara isn't going to Argo too cause if I was her, I'd want to be with my family and friends there.
We got some Alex tonight and learned that there was in fact an Alex on this Earth which means that pretty much everything from Earth 38 is here except for the Supers which in my head-canon I'd like to believe means that Krypton never exploded. I liked that Kara was the one to reach her cause it shows that despite everything their sisterly bond is the most powerful (and that it paralleled Oliver and Felicity's and Iris and Barry's relationships cause love is love no matter if it's familial or not.)
I'm not sure how I feel about this whole crossover amounting to basically a promo for next year's crossover which is Infinite Crisis and I wonder if the reason it was so badly written was cause they didn't care that much about this one as they do the next. Though I'm sad I didn't enjoy this one as much as I should have, I'm really looking forward to the next one and since nothing really happened here that will affect future episodes on a large scale, I'm fine with pretending it never happened. I am curious about what deal Oliver made with The Monitor but I'm sure that'll be like the first scene in next year's crossover and I just hope it doesn't end with Oliver dying or something cause technically of all the shows Arrow has been on the longest and who knows how many seasons CW wants it to have and if he did die it would match the future dystopian timeline we've been seeing over on Arrow.
Anyway that's all for now! I'll see you all tomorrow for my Riverdale midseason finale review and then in January when the Arrowverse shows (minus Legends which isn't back until April ugh) come back!
xoxo Allie
