The Flash The Flash Season 2 Episode 8: "Legends of Today"

[UltimateMarvel]

Flashpoint Paradox

The Flash(CW)

It may not be the same thing but it's an amazing easter egg.

 

[O'Haire]

Vandal Savage is awesome.

 

[Paradox1]

Savage wow

 

[The Sage]

Barry's reason for seeking Oliver's help was pretty shaky. Other than that, good start.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Yeah, from what they knew, it hadn't quite reached a mystical level of danger (not to be confused for a Mystikal level of Danger). But that's a minor complaint, imo.

 

[terry78]

Flash and GA vs. Hawkman.

Never thought I'd see it in live action.

 

[kguillou]

That was a good showdown. The special effects in these shows are getting better.

 

[Prison Mike]

So if Hawkman and Hawkwoman are reincarnates, then why do they look like their reincarnated selves in the flashbacks?

 

[The Sage]

Hmm. This was pretty good.

 

[kguillou]

So.... this is gonna be an annual thing where Ollier sees his baby mama at Jitters but nothing ever comes of it? lol

 

[Paradox1]

Great episode, loved the Oliver and Barry vs Savage.

 

[John Locke]

That was amazing. The Hawks are great and Vandal Savage is a great villain. It's funny I was my watching Season one of Arrow with my friend who is for the first time and I never thought back then I would watch the (Green) Arrow on Flash try to save Hawkgirl from Vandal Savage three years later.

 

[vantheman77]

Great crossover episode from The Flash. I don't know how any future crossover will top this. Love seeing Flash and Green Arrow battling Hawkman. I hope the DCU movie people are watching this as they will have to step up their game.

 

[samsnee]

It was an ok episode for me. I just find the Zoom storyline more interesting and this was all just setup.

 

[regnak]

I sure as hell hope that serum started Jay's speed regenerating somehow.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

I'm amazed at how good Hawkman looked. The Smallville version sucked.

Good episode.

 

[Primal Slayer]

It was an ok episode. Don't think I enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed the first part last year but that could be because this is suppose to be a 2hr movie.

I do enjoy seeing the lighter side of all the Arrow characters instead of having them bogged down by the constant drama. Though it was weird that Thea is now Pro-Speedy.

 

[Ninjablade]

Didn't really care for this episode in particular. Found it a little boring, felt too much like a giant set up, so kind of got slow for me.

 

[Lencho01]

This episode certainly felt different from what they normally do.

 

[kguillou]

Barry's reason for going to Star City was a TAD forced. "Something was different about this guy, something...mystical." Uh, based on what exactly? How did Barry come to that conclusion based off of him throwing knives real fast? He could've been just another metahuman for all they knew.


But...F it, why nitpick on a superhero show, right? lol

 

[BestGirl]

I really do not like the whole Arrow crew. I don't find them funny or interesting and wish they'd stay away from Team Flash. That being said, I enjoyed the episode. Vandal Savage was intimidating and because it's a two-parter, it didn't feel as rushed as the last crossover. One thing I missed: how did the Staff of Horus end up in a church?

Looks like Patty will have to be told Barry's secret now that she's seen Wells.

 

[DigificWriter]

Not sure if Gotham is in the same universe, and if it is it's set well before Flash or Arrow.

Sorry to go off-topic, especially nearly 3 weeks after the fact, but Arrow, Flash, Gotham, and Supergirl are all set contemporarily (read: present-day). Gotham just has a timeless Noir aesthetic that the others don't.

We are dealing with 3 distinct corners of the Multiverse with the four series, though.

Anyway, onto the episode itself. I really enjoyed it, and thought it was the best of the 6 crossover episodes that I've seen, not only because of what it's setting up, but also because of the return of Jay Garrick and Harrsison and Caitlin working together and being all scienc-ey.

I wish we'd seen Laurel or gotten the "she's in Central City " explanation much sooner, but that's my only real nitpick with the episode.

I did think it was kind of funny in an ironic sort of way that sidekicks with loose lips is a thing that's been carried over to both Supergirl AND The Flash, what with James and Cisco both carelessly giving away their superheroic friends' civilian identities and Winn almost following suit, albeit inadvertently.

Again, I really enjoyed the episode and can't wait to see the conclusion of the storyline on tomorrow night's Arrow.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

So.... this is gonna be an annual thing where Ollier sees his baby mama at Jitters but nothing ever comes of it? lol

Actually something is gonna come of it this time.

 

[The Navigator]

I like how knowing one person's secret identity = knowing everybody's secret identity now. (Except Laurel's--where does she go during most of these crossovers, anyway?)

Did Darhk seem a little "off" to anybody else?

Fun episode, though. Nice to see Barry and Oliver working together without background drama mucking things up.

 

[zenith16]

tonight was an interesting one sadly cisco made the mistake of outing barryjust like winn in super girl or james (these shows need to cross over) it's become too common now. barry should just out him self next season and not bother with a normal house. lol


I laughed when hawk girl saw vandal savage coming for all of them through the window in felicity's and Oliver's apartment building . I don't know why it never occurred to them that they should have special armored window's with what happened to thea etc. or why they thought they wouldn't be attacked there ever?

but sadly the most scary part happened yet again in the Arrow bunker Malcolm got in uninvited twice "Twice" what happen to the freaking biometric security system that thea made fun of Oliver about even knowing how spell that word, felicity?

how did Malcolm freaking hear about all this in the first place and so fast?
and sadly I knew shyeria would be kidnapped the when she said she wanted some air.

well it was by Hawk man at least.


the coolest parts were the fight scenes with Hawk man versus the flash and green arrow and what thea did in the apartment. Especially since vandal knows who they all are now. she tried to kill vandal at least. that count's as reason to kill him I'm afraid since one of their homes was invaded and they were all nearly killed.

Hell seeing she immortal now due to the pit she most likely the only one that can truly take on savage. take him out thea high lander style.



well Oliver has noticed his kid. I wonder if his little boy was named after Robert Queen the one shadow supposedly had in the comic's that Oliver lost? we all know that boy isn't Conner Hawk now.
