It's a total mess, but it's also fun, and that's why I'm giving it a 7.
The story is completely idiotic and senseless.
The paragon of humanity would rather save his family than humanity and they spend way to much time resolving that unnecessary conflict.
The Pragon-Finder is also really stupid, like what's the point? It's a machine that can find the face and name of every paragon? And they built it in a few hours, oh cmon xd Couldn't you have come up with a more creative way to do that?
Also there are 7 paragons on infinite earths, but somehow most of them are from earth 1, lol.
About infite earths: You can have 1 earth of infinite earths left, that's a contradiction in itsself. If there are infinite earths, there's always infinkte earths left, unless you just erase everything at once.
The again: Why does the antimonitor destroy the earths 1 by 1 if he onviously has a device that could destroy them all instantly? Seriously?
The Monitor actually had no impact on anything in this crisis, he was just wrong all the time and now he's gone. Yeah, he did bring back vibe etc, but the writer's could've also found another way to do that without the useless presence of the monitor.
Ok, what else. Oh, the emotional depth is about the depth of a childrens pool. Jefferson Pierce looses his entire earth and it takes about 10 seconds to recover from the loss.
I won't judge prematurely about the oliver side-story, but if all the lazarus pit stuff was for nothing, then that was a real waste of time. I mean it was cool to see Tom Ellis in the crossover and all, but they could've also just shown soul Ollie at Purgatory and Spectre show up and it would've had the same result, leaving alot of time for more interesting plots.
That's basically been the theme of all the episodes so far. Pointless side stories: The baby sidestory being the most useless of them.
The Pariah/Nash character makes no sense at all. First he's just a witness, then he's controlled by the Anti-Monitor and then he sends our heroes to the vanishing point.
And please dear god can we get rid of this stupid Lex Luthor, Jesus he's annoying. How did he even get out of his cell to use the Book of Destiny?
This crossover has nowhere near the emotional impact and suspense that previous crossovers had. All it is is a fun wink to what came before, which is the main draw of this crossover. The story itsself is really bland.
Now a few good things: Tom Ellis was excellent, he's always a delight when he's on screen. Much like Tom Welling's in the last episode, his scene was the best of this episode.
And it's fun.
That's it.
