From the two-parter that airs immediately after the "Crisis on Earth-X" four-way crossover later this month:
One thing I forgot to mention last night: This episode was the first confirmation we've gotten that Themyscira exists on Earth-1 and therefore Wonder Woman could make an appearance in the Arrowverse down the road.
The CW only programs 10 hours of primetime a week, which is significantly less than the 18 hours that the Big Three (CBS, NBC, ABC) program and even the 13 hours that FOX programs. As a result, they program roughly half their schedule like a broadcast network with 22-23 episodes and the other half like a cable network, with two slates of shorter seasons. "Arrow", "The Flash" and "Supergirl" are programmed like broadcast shows, while "Legends of Tomorrow" (along with the upcoming "Black Lightning") is on the long side of the cable show programming model.Anyone know how many episode the show will have this season? IMDb lists 18, which is one more than last season (which was one more than the season before). Any idea why it's always a shorter season than the other Arrowverse shows?
I couldn't find a confirmed episode count, but I'm almost certain that it will be 20-23 episodes. I think IMDB only shows 15 because episode 15 is the episode they're working on right now. None of the stuff I've read about episode 15 describes it as the season finale.Also, is Supergirl having a shorter season? IMDb only lists 15 season 3 episodes.
The whole Eobard situation bugs me. I still don't really know if he is the Earth-1 Eobard and if so, how is he connected with Earth-X in first place. He could have been the Earth-X Eobard who decided to change history there by giving the Nazis the bomb and thus he would have had this Flash history in his original timeline. At the very least Barry should have taken Eobard prisoner or has Cisco send him somewhere.I didn't buy at all that Barry would just let Eobard run off. Setting aside the personal grudges Barry holds against him, Eobard has just caused too much death and destruction to be allowed to remain at large. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if his intervention in the 1940s is what gave the Earth-X Nazis the bomb
....
The montage of reactions across the ship was well done, both with the characters who knew him during Stein's recurring tenure on "The Flash", and his teammates aboard the Waverider. Hopefully the "Legends" mid-season finale continues to explore the emotional fallout of this major sea change for the team.
I was a bit disappointed in the weddings of Barry/Iris and Oliver/Felicity. The stripped down low-key nature of it, in the park, I was fine with. But the vagaries of balancing the guest star commitments across such a massive crossover meant that a lot of people weren't there that should be been. At minimum, Joe and Wally should have been there for Barry and Iris. At minimum, Donna Smoak should have been there for Felicity. And, at minimum, William and Thea should have been there for Oliver.
It does seem weird that if he was going not reappear that they would have him coming to Earth 1, but maybe this episode isn't his exit. There is another Legends episode this calendar year.Otherwise, the four hours had plenty of action and more importantly, great character interaction. One question: Why leave Snart on Earth 1 if this is Wentworth Miller's exit from the Arrowverse?
Does anyone ever truly die on these shows?
