3x08 Crisis on Earth-X (I)

That was so much fun! I loved every minute of it. I love seeing all my heros together fighting toe to toe. I'm glad this year we got our long-time promised 4 part crossover event and not 3 part plus 5 Supergirl minutes.

The episode looked like a movie divided into four parts. I'm glad they didn't do single handed episodes based on each show. This was Supergirl's episode but it could've been any other.

I felt like a 5 year old kid watching the episode. Never have 42 minutes gone by that fast. So much was my enjoyment that I didn't even realize it was almost over.

James at the beginning, lol. He got wasted in like 5 minutes. I wasn't expecting this episode to be the best one because they needed to build up the story but, cheesiness aside, I really enjoyed everything previous to the "wedding". It was lovely to see the girls getting a mani-pedi and talking about cheesy wedding thingies. Not every episode can be 100% fight, but I enjoyed those little moments.

The final fight, however, was simply perfect. Sara and Alex being badasses together was something that I could finally cross out of my list. I've been waiting for that moment for a very long time and it delivered. It was blatantly obvious they were gonna hook up, but predictable as it was, I loved it. It was so much fun to see them together.

Joe's speech was so sweet and tender. Really lovely. So lovely that anyone who had missed it should've been locked up in Iron Heights, lol. It was so warming and heartfelt. Lovely scene.

I loved the little interaction between characters such as Caitlin and Rory acknowledging he kidnapped her. That was gold. Not to mention the look on his face when he saw that Caitlin had cold powers. He misses Snart so damn much. I'll never get tired of listening to the things Mick loves and hates. And today's list got upgraded. The way he shook Captain Singh's hand and said "I hate cops" cracked me up. And he wearing one of Stein's robes because Lily was upset he was wandering around the house naked was a gold. Mick lives for bar fights, free buffets and open bars. At this point I'm sure he always has a beer literally glued to his hand, lol.

Jax and Stein's bond is something that words can't describe. They're father and son and seeing Stein go is going to be hard to cope with. Jax broke my heart this episode and he crashed and stomped on it in the Arrow one. They made me laugh and they made me cry. The only certainty is that I'm gonna miss Stein so damn much. Btw, Stein's relationship with Caitlin is so sweet and tender. And they even talk about Ronnie and Caitlin's marriage which has to be a foreshadowing of the fact that once the invasion ends, he's gonna be the one to marry Barry and Iris, which would be lovely.

Seeing Cisco breaching Oliver was one of those things that I can't stop watching. It was so badass.

And that bartender at the wedding? She's gotta be from the future right? Barry and Iris' daughter? Grand-daughter? She really seemed concerned about the wedding, like trying to make sure they get married. Plus, she seemed a little Barry-like in her clumsiness. Let's see what this leads to.

What's up with the Marvel superheros name-dropping this season? "You're trying to turn me into Spider-Man?" The universe is exploding and we haven't even figured it out. Jax cracked me up in that scene.

Kara singing "Running home to you" was so sweet. I didn't expect that scene to be so emotional. Her voice is so smooth.

The Nazi plot was heavy. I mean, Nazis? Wow. There was one part of dialogue that bothered the hell out of me. There are certain words that don't belong in a sentence together and that's the case of the "ethnic cleansing" and the "hashtag 'melting pot'". And can we please stop the hashtag thingy? No one talks like that, at least as far as I'm aware.

Barry: "What happened to Mon-El?"
Kara: "The end of the world"
Barry: "Faced that three times"
Kara: "Time travel"
Barry: "I've been there, a lot"
Kara: "He's married to someone else"
Barry: "Uh-oh"
That was so funny.

I particularly loved the music this episode. It was on point, especially the mixture between the soundtrack from the four shows.

It's the day before Barry and Iris get married and no one among the core group has RSVP'ed yet because that's what good friends do to each other. Alex and Sara meet and get drunk at the rehearsal dinner and have a one-night stand, but it's all okay because Kara says so the next day. Those crazy kids. Bad guys show up at the wedding with a plan that starts with killing the minister because it always makes sense to take out the least dangerous person in a room first. So much for the element of surprise. Then a bunch of the bad guys with automatic weapons fail to injure anyone, let alone kill anyone. Probably because most of them think that just standing around or fighting hand-to-hand makes more sense than, you know, putting many, many bullets into people. Meanwhile, Barry fails to incapacitate even a single bad guy even though he could have neutralized every human attacker in seconds or less. Seriously, he should have said, "Kara, go after the flying person while I take out the humans and I'll join you in five seconds to tag-team the flying person so that this whole thing is over within 60 seconds." Then Thawne would have been left alone with plenty of time to be annoyed by the fact that he'd surrounded himself with stupid people.
