sinanju Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 The four-show “Invasion!” crossover gave The CW its best week in 6 years No surprise here. I watch Supergirl and Flash. The only time I ever watch Arrow (or Legends of Tomorrow) is when they cross over with Supergirl or Flash. QED. Much as I'd like more crossovers, it's probably just as well that Kara is off on her own earth. I mean, really. She's as fast as Flash, or close enough as makes no difference. Plus she's superstrong, invulnerable and all the rest of it. The whole rest of the team up team combined couldn't do more than muss her hair when they were training--and she was just hovering there, for the most part. She's seriously overpowered for their universe. Plus, when she only interacts with Barry and the rest once or twice a year, they can keep it light and fun. If they were regularly hanging out, we'd get that patented CW Angst injected into the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I wonder if the singing crossover with the Flash is still going to be a thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I wonder if the singing crossover with the Flash is still going to be a thing. Yes. About episode 12 or 14 or something. Yes still a thing. Wonder no more. Pattern Ghost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mhoram Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I wonder if the singing crossover with the Flash is still going to be a thing. And while they have not announced that this will be why - it has become known that Mxyzptlk will be on Supergirl. He seems a good way to make the musical episode happen.

If they were regularly hanging out, we'd get that patented CW Angst injected into the situation. Only thing that really bothered me about the training exercise was that Arrow this season has been about Ollie training the new crew in learning to work as a team to take down someone more powerful. I kept waiting for firestorm to tell Ollie to fire a suppression arrow, then change the foam into steel or some other hard material, since they don't know about kryptonite. Of course, they really have just turned firestorm into a flying blaster, so not sure he has the alter molecules ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Of course, they really have just turned firestorm into a flying blaster, so not sure he has the alter molecules ability. Didn't he use the alter molecules ability on the big bomb in the Legends episode? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattern Ghost Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 TV Firestorm seems to have it with Concentration, Extra Time and No Range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DasBroot Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Which, admittedly, is pretty much the only way you can put that power on screen and not obsolete the rest of the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdamnhero Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 Alternately, Firestorm's player is the guy who's perpetually distracted and never remembers what's on his character sheet. GM: "Firestorm, you're up." Player: [looks up from phone] "Who, me? Oh, um...I Blast him I guess." GM: [sighs] "Whatever. Roll it." I've actually had exactly that happen in one convention game I ran. An experienced gamer I knew and had gamed with before but had never played Champions before sat down at my table and picked the Mystic Master PC, the one who was built to be the versatile Swiss Army Knife character. The dude literally used the same RKA spell every Phase for the entire game. BoloOfEarth and DasBroot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdamnhero Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 "I'm not the Red Shirt! You are the Red Shirt!" [gigglesnort] Good episode.

Christopher R Taylor Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah, well if the Flash was played by his power list, the rest of them would be sitting around while he handled everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinanju Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 "I'm not the Red Shirt! You are the Red Shirt!" [gigglesnort] Good episode. Although didn't Kara kindof murderate a bunch of people when she blew up that alien spaceship? Whoops? "It's Stargate!" (Loved the call-out) And, yeah, she kinda did. Also, it's been established that using her eyebeams can deplete her store of energy. Given that she only had a brief recharge...probably not the best choice. Also...I'd think that her powers would fade gradually--like over days--under a red sun. Not just Click! like flipping a switch. But whatever. It was still a fun episode. Also also, I liked Alex and Maggie. Relationship Angst! But only briefly. And I liked Maggie's reaction. Which was, essentially, "Okay I understand why you acted that way, and I forgive you. But do it again and we're through." bigdamnhero 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted February 4, 2017 Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 I was thinking he'd be an interesting choice for Darkseid, if they wanted to bring in the whole Apokolips/New Genesis story into the DCTV universe. A possible obstacle to that is that Sorbo likes to play characters who crack a smile now and again--and Darkseid doesn't smile. Ever. He could also play an evil atheist--but that's just me. Teri Hatcher, I think, would be a really good choice for Selena the sorceress. It's about time that Supergirl had an arch-enemy she could call her own, rather than poaching off of Superman's rogue's gallery.
