Check your DVRs. This is showing to run to 9:03 for me which conflicts with AoS and Scream Queens.

I've been wondering when the kid would come back up.

Hot damn that was fucking badass. I wonder where they are going with bringing Oliver's kid back into the picture.

This was ten kinds of awesome. Both Hawks looked perfect in flight and I like the costume for Hawkman. Seeing Hawkman battle Green Arrow and the Flash was almost worth by itself sitting through ten years of Smallville.
I am a little disappointed they haven't given Jay back his powers but I guess they want Barry to beat Zoom by himself. The trailer for Legends of Tomorrow was incredible, that was better footage than we've seen before.
As for Mach 2, really? Barry isn't traveling back in time going Mach 2. The military has jets that go Mach 3.
I know this is looking far, far ahead but they have to give us a Flash-Supergirl race, right? The fans demand it.

"Seriously, does this guy know any other way to enter a room?!"
How many shows can your DVR do at one time? I've never tried more than two on mine, because I've never really needed to.

Great episode tonight. It was funny how Merlyn kept appearing out of nowhere like Batman. Also, Felicity has the best pair of legs on TV right now. Wow, she looks amazing. Can't wait for tomorrow's Arrow episode.

That was epic. Loved it. Best crossover of the two shows. Cool introduction of Hawk Girl and Hawk Man.

he controls speed force. i think the speed is irrelevant when it comes to him going back in time when he has the ability to control it.

I find it funny reading the comments here which I agree with and some of the other sites I check out where the majority are pissed because Iris only had 1 line and has been marginalized and because of that they are out. I read a 3 page thread on one site where the vast majority thought this episode was awful because Laurel and Iris weren't in it and it did nothing to make them want to watch LOT. I just find the completely opposing viewpoints of the same episode so puzzling.
I loved the episode. Love team ups in general and Ollie and Barry have such a good chemistry that I had a smile on my face almost the whole episode. My only negative was the chick playing Kendra. I think she is not very good and has a very strange look. She looks like she is in her 30's and I don't think she is supposed to.

Thank goodness they didn't go the alien cop route for the Hawks. I actually think Hawkman and Hawkgirl could get their own spinoff down the road. I thought Cisco would have been more of a problem after it was revealed his new girlfriend is a reincarnated Egyptian warrior and she's destined to love Carter Hall.
As for Iris and Laurel, it's pretty obvious both shows are moving those characters into the background. The fans want Oliver and Felicity together, while many Flash fans are indifferent to Iris and Barry getting together. It's tough being created as the "girlfriend" character when fans want the hero to date someone else.
I know I would be crushed if I were a heavy Barry/Iris shipper at the moment.

Funny how they are the Earth 2 Golden Age versions but somehow get their start on Earth 1. I wouldn't have minded the Kanigher/Kubert Earth 1 version. They're the ones I grew up reading.

Loved this ep. Can't believe how brutal this got. Never saw such killing in a PG superhero show. Even though I didn't understand it all it was very well done. That Vandal Savage is pretty slick...

Vandal Savage is an awesome, classic villain. I've been surprised that Warner never used him as the villain in a Batman movie.

Apparently Warner Bros doesn't know of any other villains other than the Joker, Lex Luthor, Two Face and Bane.
