  • This probably marks the first time Cisco is absent from a Flash episode after last week teased his death. The main focus is the triangle family of Barry, Iris, and Nora.

  •   Constantine joins the Legends and already has created sparks within the team, but they need him because he is a heavy hitter in the supernatural stuff. Zari is the standout in this episode when she is trying to save a couple of people in the Salem of 1600’s. That would mean defying orders. Meanwhile… Read more

  • It is interesting that the title is supposed to be about crossing the lines, except no lines were crossed. Oliver’s Supermax storyline continues and it’s longer than we thought.

  •   Oliver continues to be in jail and it’s new status quo as it’s not gimmicky like The Flash’s was in its last season. He is protecting his family and team from afar while dealing with several criminals he put away over the years. Team Arrow is clearly in disarray when there is conflict between… Read more

  • Immediately picking up where they left off from the premiere as President Olivia Marsden is revealed to be an alien, the anti-alien sentiment has returned in a big way that is reminiscent of the first two seasons. I enjoyed the symbolism of Supergirl with the American flag to be a beacon of hope for Humans… Read more
