2x07 Invasion! (IV)

And here it is. The epic conclusion.

This was probably my favorite part of the crossover. The Flash part was a bit too rushed for my liking, and the Arrow part focused more on celebrating the 100th episode than the alien invasion. But this one? This one had it all. We got plenty of fight scenes and ass-kicking, but there were also some wonderful emotional moments.

I liked Stein's daughter drama. There was a lot of it in this episode, maybe a little too much, but it's an interesting storyline, even though I saw it coming a mile away as soon as Stein started having those visions of Lily. It's still good, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it's going to affect the future episodes of Legends.

Oliver's reasons for benching Kara were dumb as fuck. I firmly believe that that scene exists only because they couldn't include Melissa in most of the episode because of a scheduling conflict or some shit.

The Dominators really didn't put up much of a fight, did they? They just ran right back to their ships as soon as that bomb was destroyed. By the way, I totally forgot that Firestorm could transform things. I'm not entirely sure why they couldn't just have Kara throw the bomb back into space (come on, we all know she could easily have done that), but I guess it's because they wanted every hero to have their moment in the spotlight.

Holy shit, Kara and Felicity are similar. I can't believe I've never thought about it before. And Ray's comment about Kara looking like his cousin was a fun little reference for all the Superman fans out there.

I'm glad that Barry and Cisco are on good terms again. And Cisco and Felicity geeking out aboard the Waverider were adorable.

It's so cool that Kara can travel between dimensions now. It's sure as hell going to come in handy next year when the CW needs another bump in the ratings!

I love group hugs! Especially when it's between grumpy Oliver and two precious rays of sunshine Kara and Barry.

Kara is freaking scary when she wants to be. Damn. Never mess with this alien puppy. She'll drag you so hard you'll never get back up, and she'll do it with a smile on her face.

That little conversation between Sara and Oliver at the end of the episode was such a lovely, underrated moment. It really did start with the two of them. I've never looked at it like that.

Overall, this was an insanely satisfying crossover. I enjoyed it a lot, even though it made me feel dizzy at times, with all these characters running around, forcing me to pause the episode and do a mental count of who's who and which show they're on. I'm still bitter that Kara was the only Supergirl character to appear - Winn would've fit right in with the Geek Squad, and I wanted to see Alex and Sara kick some ass together. Maybe Digg losing his shit over J'onn being a Green Martian. Whatever. This was still fun, and who knows? Maybe next year's crossover will take place on Earth-38?
