The odds on that must be about the same as the odds on the alien spaceship being in space.

Be mad at CW marketing. This was never a four part crossover. This is a two part crossover on Flash and Legends.

Time travel.

I was just like so deeply confused by it. At the end of Flash I'd assumed the aliens had beamed them up in to space without even being aware of my assumption. So I didn't even realize it was in question, let alone that it didn't even occur to all the scifi geeks in that room.

This was an amazing episode of Arrow! But the crossover felt like an afterthought?

The spaceship was in space?! What were the chances of that?

Very true. It's still a prejudice though which I think is the theme of this season.

Sad upvote.

I don't think that was a Flashpoint change? That was probably a result of Stein encouraging his younger self to stop neglecting his relationship.

…with Barry literally becoming God?

Am I the only one who was fooled into thinking last night’s Supergirl was supposed to be the first part of this crossover?

I love Sara Lance but her speech to Barry was maybe a bit hypercritical considering her team's less than subtle approach to time travel. ;)

If Eliza can adapt it to remove the white martian from J'onn then I'm sure cadmus can make it not harm humans. But I don't think this was stated.

Sorry then but I'm not seeing your issue? Where does the show have conflicting messages within the White Martian storyline? That storyline is basically a single message about racism that they're exploring far more this season than last.

I suspect that things aren't quite as neat as they appear.

Really? I think there's been a very consistent story with J'onn. He hates White Martians. They killed his family and the rest of his race. He's the last of his kind because of them. He thinks they're all inherently evil. He'd rather die then allow himself to become one of them

I did enjoy the character work this episode, even if some of the storylines did appear to wrap things up a bit too neatly. I do however suspect things aren't quite as neat as they appear.

I don't think it's mixed messages. It's nuance. J'onn isn't racist generally but he is when it comes to white martians. He has a reason for his hatred but it's still clearly shown as unreasonable. The show isn't saying this is a good thing.

Well in the end he left his kid to be looked after by a sociopathic murderer so I was reading between the lines.

I'm going to be controversial and say the ending was potentially great. It's everything that lead up to the ending that made people hate it. A better show could have made it feel like a proper ending to Dexter's journey. But as it was written it just didn't fit with everything else.
