Topic: The CW Mega Crossover
Word is:
The CW mega crossover is scheduled to air the week of November 28. It starts during the last few minutes of Supergirl (no need to watch the entire ep), continues on The Flash, then Arrow, and concludes on Legends of Tomorrow.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
I respectfully disagree; it was a piece of fun TV, and was entertaining. Was it classic TV? No, but I didn't expect it to be, it lived up to my expectations pretty much.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
It was actually good fun to watch. Seems putting all of them together actually made everyone better, except for Flash. Flash is always good, regardless of where they put him.

That's fine, it's your opinion and that's what these forums are all about.

The Arrow episode worked well as its 100 episode special (which it was) but as part of the cross over event I didn't think it was great.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
Well, my first impression wasn't the most palatable. I moved the start up about 40 minutes on Supergirl to the part where the crossover was supposed to begin and was (mis)treated to a big fat girl on girl lesbian kiss scene which I didn't enjoy having in my face (gross gags). Next I watched Arrow not realizing I was supposed to go to Flash first. Though I dissed Arrow a while back I enjoyed the show for the crossover entertainment and the characters. After watching it is when I realized I'd gotten out of the crossover order and then thought I might just watch Flash later to see what I'd missed but I never did. I watched Legends and it was ok. I resisted watching Flash I suppose because I'd seen what went just before and just after it. I dunno. It all came and went, end of , sorta.

I stopped taking your comment seriously after you said you almost puked because two women kissed.... Homophobic much?

You skipped 40 minutes of Supergirl Stopped watching the Arrow series a while ago (presumably cause you don't enjoy it) but then watched this episode. Skipped the Flash episode altogether watched the Legends episode ...and you wonder why you didn't enjoy the event lol Also Homophobia aside, you managed to not watch the best episode of the event.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
I just watched DC's Legends Of Tomorrow S03E08 -- and I am ticked/confused. Apparently, watching a bunch of other shows -- in proper sequence -- is a requirement to "get it". I didn't, and therefore, I don't "get it". I stopped watching some of those other ones for my own reasons. A forewarning of some sort on the Home Page would be greatly appreciated.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
This cross over (Crisis on Earth X) was a lot of fun, much better than last years cross over.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
I was confused when i watched The Flash 3x08 aswell. The correct order would be: Supergirl 3x08 (1) Arrow 3x08 (2) The Flash 3x08 (3) Legends of Tomorrow 3x08 (4)

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
Yeah, this is a problem a crossover of this size I don't watch Arrow or Supergirl any more but this don't actually matter too much if you have the basic stories (Flash is becoming formulaic as well actually) They tried ti inject (bad) humour this year - detracts from the shows You can, however, follow the story properly if you understand the characters Last year's crossover was much easier to watch, the year before even better done as it launched Legends (got issues with that now though) In the DC Universe Crisis is a huge plotline only surpassed by FlashPoint (they wimpled out on that one last year) DCs flix have been rough recently (Wonder Woman being a notable change from the downward trend) They're doing a FlashPoint Movie I understand - there's an animated version available that tells the story well I don't wanna spoil anything for those of you who don't know the storylines but this was a reboot of DC in the same way Civil War was for Marvel (comics, not film)

Unless you're a newcomer to this site I always assumed that was common knowledge. It should be as plain as day in your acquired episodes list, under Episodes. From there you should always take notice to the number in parenthesis next to the episode title (The Flash being the exception with "Part 3"), regardless of the series. It's the first thing I look for when I decide to binge a series. When it comes to the CWDC lineup I always tend to binge all four series in episode order, one after another, the way they were meant to be watched in succession. You never know when one might come across those unofficial lingering events and/or cameo appearances. I did end up hitting a snag last season with DC LoT because of the switch from Thursdays to Tuesdays. That's my fault though, should've paid more attention to the info @next-episode.

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
Its not rocket science, when the credits start and they look completely different and it says Crisis on Earth X rather than The Flash or whatever it was pretty obvious what was going on and it took all of about 10 seconds to look up the order.....thats what happened with me. I don't watch all of them anymore but when I saw this at the beginning of The Flash ... like I said, its not rocket science.

THANX!!! (I'll watch for those parenthetic numbers -- which means there are other shows somewhere that I may or may not know about that are part of the sequence <grumble -mutter- WTH> ) Then I'll know which not to waste my time with

Re: The CW Mega Crossover
Most crossovers require at least some knowledge of prior events that occurred in other related episodes, otherwise it wouldn't be a true crossover. Just like with "Invasion! (Arrowverse)", it would have helped to watch Supergirl (well at least the very tail end of "Medusa") to understand what was happening, because it marked the beginning of the crossover, which officially began with The Flash, continued onto Arrow, and concluded with Legends of Tomorrow. Like I said earlier, even then there will be lingering events and/or cameo appearances that may occur throughout the remainder of the season for each related show. The major difference with "Crisis on Earth-X" was that all four shows gave up their usual tone and structure to form a true four-hour crossover event. With no show title cards or any discernable difference for each of the four episodes. Instead of tying into the four separate shows' arcs of the season, this was a standalone four-hour mini-arc. Whether people like it or not, "Crisis on Earth-X" was an epic outing, setting the stage for all future franchise crossovers. I haven't even started watching this season's CWDC lineup yet but I definitely was able to jump into "Crisis on Earth-X" with no problems. I plan on binging all four shows once they're all finished for the season, but that will be at my earliest convenience. I don't understand why there's so much confusion in this day and age? With all the related website info, services and scraped data across streaming services, devices, set-top boxes and tv's, people should've at least been prepared for the fact that there was going to be a mega crossover event by the eighth episode across all four shows. I can understand the intro throwing people off but at some point (sooner rather than later) people should have known what was going on. Besides (just like last year), it all centers around events pertaining to The Flash, so if you haven't been following The Flash then you're most likely out of the loop anyway. Unless you follow the comics and/or characters, but even then you probably already knew that it was The Flash that comic creators used to introduce and popularize a number of ideas that are now integral to the DC Universe, and comics as a whole. People who tend to watch only one or two shows out of the total four would've been better off sitting this one out and waiting for the next episode. In most cases things will pick up eventually at some point where they left off at prior to the crossover. I do understand what inkblot and others are saying to some extent because I'm the same way when it comes to the Chicago lineup. I only watch Chicago P.D., but there were times (plenty BTW) when I had to deal with crossover episodes from Fire, Med and Justice, and sometimes even Law & Order SVU. I tolerate it because they're police procedurals that don't require me to go back and watch any prior episodes that led up to the crossover. So for the sake of the "crossover" I'll tolerate some of the related episodes from those other shows. Events are usually recapped within a minute prior to the intro anyway, so in most cases I can get away with not watching any of the other related shows. The difference maker there is that those shows (for the most part) have non-linear plot structures and episodes are usually self-contained. Shows like SVU, Chicago P.D. and Justice are largely modern interpretations of the classic "whodunit" format. Sometimes there are character developments throughout (even more so nowadays), but it's the crime investigations and subsequent trials that drive each episode forward. From what I'm hearing around the net, and from a few friends of mines, is that some even feel that this year's CWDC Mega Crossover "Crisis on Earth-X" was better than the Justice League movie. I'll reserve judgement until after I watch JL, but WOW nonetheless.
