Supergirl Episode 3.08 "Crisis on Earth-X" (Crossover Episode; SPOILERS)

[LL2K2]

THE EPIC FOUR-WAY CROSSOVER WITH “ARROW,” “SUPERGIRL,” “THE FLASH” AND “DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW” — 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.

First teaser:



Nice to see Alex in on the action.

 

[vantheman77]

The synopsis is the same on all four parts. I called it about Citizen Cold.

 

[flickchick85]

What do you mean? He was on the poster when they first announced this.

 

[vantheman77]

Actually about his name. He wasn't going to be called Captain Cold in Earth-X and I thought of Citizen Cold from Flashpoint.

 

[flickchick85]

OH ok, I didn't even notice that, lol. Good call.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Rumor has it Overgirl is going to be in a relationship with one of her colleagues....

 

[vantheman77]

People want to see Supergirl and Flash paired, so it could be Barry's evil counterpart.

 

[flickchick85]

People want to see Supergirl and Flash paired,

I did not know this was a thing. They are like the most platonic BFFs ever, lol.

Based on Stephen's tweets, I really want it to be Oliver's evil counterpart.

O yeah. They're a thing, especially after the Flash Crossover, it became an even bigger thing!

You too! This is awesome. I really have a thing for Oliver and Kara interacting. (Platonically) Probably because of the JLU relationship they had which was some of the best thing about the Kara stories in that series. But in this case, they would be on a more equal footing instead of the Father/Daughter dynamic they shared.

I don't follow twitter. Are you referring to the 'screaming'? Because that would be weird if it was GA Oliver.

No, I just mean Stephen has basically fangirled over Melissa/Supergirl on Twitter a few times. He also tweeted that we'd love the Kara/Oliver dynamic in this upcoming crossover "even if we hate it," which I thought was kinda cryptic at the time, but this could be what he was referring to. Plus, in that live Instagram video Caity Lotz posted when the crossover was filming, Stephen came in and said he was doing a lot of stuff with "'MB'...or is it 'BM'?" Which I just took to mean Melissa in her alt-version mode.

And yes, I too am very intrigued by the Oliver/Kara dynamic, in a platonic sense. I've mentioned on here before that one of my top dream potential crossovers is for Oliver to get stuck on Earth-38 for an episode or two. I just think there's so much potential there, and their contentious dynamic would be such a refreshing change from the Barry/Kara crossovers.

O, that would be so good. I would love to see Oliver on E38. On his own though, without Felicity. I never feel like Oliver is really his true self when they're together. He holds back so much. It would be cool to see GA Oliver unleashed and working along side Kara where she could learn some strategy. It would on its own, elevate the maturity level for an ep or 2. And maybe Jimmy could see what a real Vigilante/Hero looks like!

I'd also like Laurel to show up on on Earth 38, but not as black canary, but that she's been there a along working as a lawyer, or maybe having a scrapy law firm where she helps the under served. Like she wanted to be after law school. To fight for the little guy. That's what Kara is like, so I could see a friendship there. There are just too many costumed characters right now, so a fiercely spunky attorney working with reporter Kara would be interesting. To me at least. LOL. Plus I think Katie Cassidy was always at her best as Laurel Lance, ADA. I think KC was treated like crap on Arrow, and as she's supposed to have a multi show contract, why not have her on Supergirl for an arc, or even recurr here and there. It's not like Black Siren is in that many episodes.

Agreed on all counts.

I'd like that too, but the other part of me wants her to be or become Black Canary on Earth-38 too just because they botched that so badly on Earth-1, she deserves a re-do, lol.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'd be so much more excited if we had some Laurel in this crossover! But we don't...but it looks interesting to say the least.

Apparently Paul Blackthorne had a larger role in the crossover then David Ramsey did which should be interesting. I'm thinking he plays a Nazi.

After this years crossover I really hope they start focusing on characters apart from Barry/Oliver/Felicity. Time to let other characters shine.

 

[Osiris-Rex]

I'd like that too, but the other part of me wants her to be or become Black Canary on Earth-38 too just because they botched that so badly on Earth-1, she deserves a re-do, lol.

Though in the Flash/Supergirl cross-over in the first season Supergirl had never heard of Black Canary when Barry was rattling off all the Earth-1 heroes and villains.
So they would either have to ignore that and hope no one remembers or find some dumb excuse as to why Supergirl never heard of Black Canary until now.

Or neither - she has simply become or becomes Black Canary after that. She probably wouldn't even get on Kara's radar 'til she showed up in National City anyway. It would be an easy thing to do if they wanted to do it.

I guess. Maybe Kara would think at first that Silver Banshee had escaped and go investigate.

 

[vantheman77]

I don't see anymore crossovers after this until next season. The shows need to focus on their individual stories.

 

[shabadoo25]

In the teaser trailer, who is the blonde in the black dress with the slit delivering a kick?

I heard it was Killer Frost. (Danielle Panabaker) She is the only one with hair that light in color.

 

[Primal Slayer]

That is probably Sara Lance. Killer Frost aint that kind of fighter.

 

[flickchick85]

Yeah, it's probably just Sara in a wig, or her doppelganger.

 

[Primal Slayer]

All the pictures have been released for the 4 parts.

Alex isn't the only Supergirl character besides Kara in the crossover after all!

 

[vantheman77]

I just saw the pics from the crossover. They better give us the fight between Supergirl and Overgirl.

Also both Martian Manhunter and Lena Luthor will not be in the crossover either.
