Elseworld Part 1
Dec. 14th, 2018 12:21 amThis episode reminded me why Arrow is my least favourite of the Beeboverse shows. Oliver is just way to serious for my liking, although I did like how towards the end of the episode he tried to be more like Barry with the smiling and thumbs up. I wouldn't mind Oliver becoming more fun if it also didn't involve Barry becoming darker (I'm totally with Iris and her concerns).
All-in-all though I liked the swapped body thing, even if I disagree that they need to start acting like each other to fully use the other's skills. I snickered when Barry was on board for having fun with the body swap until Oliver mentioned that he had woken up in Barry's bed with Iris in the apartment. I just really love small moments like that which remind us how much Barry loves Iris.
I'll admit that WestAllen was my NOTP for a long time, but they've won me over. The stuff about Iris being Barry's lightning rod always makes me melt, I like pairings that are stupidly in love with each other. I also liked their conversation at the end where Iris reminded Barry to remain true to himself. She gets it. That's more important than becoming the Green Arrow.
Strangely enough, I liked the stuff at Kent farm even though I'm not a big Superman fan. His previous appearances on Supergirl never left an impact on me, but I liked him here and I really liked Lois. I know from BTS pictures during filming that they're both back at some point in the crossover so hopefully it's not a too long of wait. And hopefully they'll both be making appearances in Supergirl after this.
And we finally got the answer for the ever long question of how do prisoner's go to the bathroom who are locked in the Star Labs cells. A good kick to the wall is all it takes, although I'm sure Barry could have gotten it out a little gentler.
One question though, where was Nora for the entire episode? I know she left the 100th episode by going back into the future but surely she wasn't gone that long since when she and Barry travelled to the past it was like no time had passed in the present.
I'm looking forward to seeing Batwoman's introduction in the next episode. Can't wait!
