Arrow (S6E08) -- "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 2" -- 11/27/17




MONDAY, NOVEMBER 27

ARROW

"Crisis on Earth-X, Part 2" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (Content Rating TBD) (HDTV)

THE EPIC FOUR-WAY CROSSOVER WITH "ARROW," "SUPERGIRL," "THE FLASH" AND "DC'S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW" CONTINUES - Barry (guest star Grant Gustin) and Iris's (guest star Candice Patton) wedding brings the gang together, but things go awry when villains from Earth-X attack the ceremony. All of the superheroes band together with help from their super friends like Citizen Cold (guest star Wentworth Miller), The Ray (guest star Russell Tovey), Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), Iris West and Alex Danvers (guest star Chyler Leigh) to take on their most formidable villains yet. Earth's mightiest heroes - Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist), The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin) and White Canary (guest star Caity Lotz) - lead their teams into battle to save the world. James Bamford directed the episode with story by Marc Guggenheim & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Wendy Mericle & Ben Sokolowski (#608). Original airdate 11/27/2017.

Arrow is airing in a special night. Monday at 9pm. It's Part 2 of the this 4-part crossover event after Supergirl. It continues on The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow on Tuesday night.

If you don't follow all 4 shows, it's up to you if you are interested enough to try to follow all 4 shows this week. Since it's a serialized 4-parter, it would make zero sense to only watch the show(s) you watch and skip others.

Jesus, Thawne won't fucking die.

and wow, Kara-X and Ollie-X are a married couple.

It was nice to see Colin Donnell back as Tommy. Amell said on Twitter that he flew in to Vancouver from Chicago, where he films Chicago Med, did 1 day of work and then flew back to Chicago.

and holy shit a Metallo sighting. awesome.

What a cold blooded plan, cut out Supergirl's heart to save dying Supergirl-X.

So far, this crossover is so much better and better executed than the Dominators one from last year.


BTW, has anyone seen Diggle? Is he still in the hospital? and I guess they couldn't afford Ray, Nate and Amaya. On the plus side, we got a lot of Firestorm.

I'm surprised they went with the Earth One Thawne instead of an Earth X variant.

What's the point of Overgirl having extra solar radiation? Does it give her extra power (albeit at the apparent cost of slowly killing her)? She hardly needs any extra power to subjugate regular Earthlings for the Reich.

He claimed to be from Earth-1, but why would Thawne from Earth-1 care about the Reich from Earth-X? Listen to his speech to Overgirl about the Reich being more important than Arrow-X. He does a good impression of a true believer rather than a foreign opportunist.

Yeah, he is still in the hospital. Dont think it was mentioned in the show but more of an aside in one of the interviews with the actor.

Loved Ollie basically being Batman, having a contingency plan with the kryptonite arrow.

Fuck yeah, Metallo!

Yep, Green Batman.

Wonder where he got it since their Earth does not have kryptonite that I knew of.

Cisco? Also, we don't know Earth-1 Krypton didn't explode, just that there's no Supergirl.

Once again Firestorm forgets he can transmute stuff. He should have been able to take down Over girl with Kryptonite and Metallo because he's mostly inorganic.

Oliver...."Just a quick reminder, super speed, I don't have it. "

Best line of the episode.

Harry said there were 53 Earths and 53 Kara's'. I thought the Krytonians didn't exist in Earth "1". Maybe they just haven't arrived yet.

Thought this was much better.

-Loved the reveal of Tommy being Prometheus.

-Loved Oliver's line about super speed.

-Loved the Metallo sighting and the fight in the warehouse.

-Glad to see Thawne back. Thawne should always be around to torture Barry and pop into his life. He's Barry's Joker/Lex Luthor.

Fun 2nd part. If they want to save these shows they would do more of these. Even if they are far smaller in scale. So many characters (Felicity, Cisco, Katelyn, Sarah, Stein, etc.) are far better when they get to interact with characters that are normally on the other DC shows.

Brainiac reference which seemed out of place because the Supers don't exist on Earth-1 and as far as we know they haven't encountered him on Kara's Earth yet either.

While I loved the costume for Overgirl, I didn't think Melissa was great at playing a villain.

It's funny that Amell didn't switch up his acting at all playing either good Oliver or Nazi Oliver.
