30 November 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Just finished watching this episode and it is much better than the Supergirl episode which was yawn and only had a 2 minute bit at the end with Barry and Cisko.

OK they're all brought together by Barry rather sharpish. introductions are made, Supergirl, Arrow, Arrow, Supergirl, you get the idea.

So they pretty much start off training against Supergirl cause she's an alien which ends up being a pointless exorcise, I mean it's Supergirl for crying out loud. Better off just going straight for The Dominators who look liked they had been rejected from the Mel Gibson movie SIGNS.

Cisko just not letting the whole Barry killed my Bro thing go and ends up being a bit of a D**k. Barry has doubt of being a leader to the group oh the angst, the world is in danger,man up and get stuck in.

OK so the President is kidnapped by the DOMS, clearly if this had been Donald "tiny hands" Trump no one would have bothered their ass going to save him. But lucky for us it's another dude, so Supergirl and some of the others go to save him.

Let me start off by saying Supergirl could have done all this on her own, she could see the President with her x-ray vision, she knew exactly where he was, she as fast as The Flash but yet chooses to walk in with the group.

It's a trap and they all get controlled by the DOMS, who then get them to go fight Barry and Oliver, so this battle rages for a bit and I realised well this saves on the budget having them fight each other than CGI aliens. Wally flexes his speed and pitches in to help Bazz and Ollie but like the failing of Barry no matter how fast you are you can't help pausing to monologue or ponder something or looked surprised enough to get hurt or the bad guy get away.

I enjoy watching Flash with my son so this episode was OK, I'll tolerate Arrow for the sake of the crossover storyline and again tolerate Legends even though basically they're a bunch of Muppets Other than that it was OK, the chase scene with Bazz and Skirt was good
