Honestly I hope Flash and Legends of Tomorrow crossover. It makes the most sense, and LOT will be moving to Tuesdays at 9pm starting after the break so they could easily do a one night two-hour special.

Do a gif of the camera spinning around Diggle and Arrow like 40 or 50 loving times. I thought I was tripping my balls off during that shot.

Kara and Barry's scene just reminded me that in a perfect world they would just be on the same show.

I like the way they've chunked out different threats/crises to deal with each episode, I think it's been pretty clever.

I think the Arrow episode would have been better if there was more of a split between who was in each different group, like have more of the non-Arrow Legends or a Flash person just hanging out in the Matrix. Since it really felt like Flash and Supergirl guest starring in the B-plot of an Arrow episode, and it would be neat to see more of the characters interacting in fun ways (like Mick and Kara, or Dig and everyone). But I didn't realize it was the 100th episode, and in that context it was a really clever way to do an alt-reality reunion for the Legends cast-offs and recap some series highlights.

But yeah the Flash episode was better since (nearly) everyone was involved, and the Legends episode should similarly be good for that reason, and because it will obviously be the climax and have super people fightin' aliens.

Yeah I'm actually more excited for that than the 4 show crossover to be honest.

Grant Gustin, Jesse L Martin, Melissa Benoist, Victor Garber, Jeremy Jordan, and Carlos Valdes is definitely the best lineup of any "regular" show that has attempted a musical episode, IMO

The problem is, if you want to get down to brass tacks, Thawne created gently caress-up Barry because he didn't like the previous, responsible version of Barry. Probably because Good Barry was always foiling his plans while not loving up the timeline. It's a shame we never got to meet Good Barry.

Either that or we were saved from Adult Barry Allen Who Makes Calculated Decisions instead.

Iris: "Don't train Wally, he's not ready"

Do you no understand what words mean Iris? how are you a reporter? Did Barry use flash powers to kill the potential reporters who knew what words mean?

I think Maggie would figure it out at this point.

Definitely, the "don't let Wally be Kid Flash" tension is the current shittiest thing happening on this show. "These demon-aliens are going to destroy the world. Don't let Wally help he could die!" Bitch, so could everyone. At least he has super-speed...anyone who isn't Kara, Barry, or Firestorm is just a regular goddamn person. They could really die.

the Cisco thing is definitely worse than the Kid Flash thing, but they're almost even. like, they took the most fun character on the show and are making him overly melodramatic for no reason at all

Honestly after last night's ep I am feeling a little better about it since we still get a jokey Cisco, just not when Barry's around. They just need more scenes of him being goofy and funny with the other cast in addition to him being pissy with Barry. Instead of just non-stop mopage.

Well, there is a "good reason", but they didn't have to create that reason at all. They could've changed something less dramatic.

Personally I wouldn't be so worried about time travel, it's not like these people ever knew a different life. Nothing changed for them, they just know that things could have been different.... which is the exact state everyone is constantly in even when time travel isn't involved.

Yeah that's been pretty funny. He's intentionally putting on a sulky face around Barry.

Too bad outside of crossovers we won't see him away from Barry.

"Don't you remember? Rip Hunter recruited us to be Legends!" is still the single worst line in the entire Arrowverse so far so "Best! Team-up! Ever!" will have to settle for runner-up.
