Wow, it's a good job I checked - I was just about to start a new Arrowverse thread!
Instead I'll post here what I was going to post there - apologies for it being a bit long, but it was intended to kickstart a new thread and get the ball rolling? (I've taken out my bit about crossovers - that ball is already rolling well... Except I'll just say that Eobard Thawne was the worst crossover character so far imho - he made the plot so clunky, and it felt like he'd wandered onto the wrong set!)What are people's favourites? This season, mine are as follows:- 1. Legends of Tomorrow 2. Arrow 3. Flash/Supergirl (tie - i can't decide?) Now last time around, they were:- 1. Arrow 2. Flash 3. Supergirl 4. Legends of Tomorrow This is because I feel that Legends has completely come into its own - I never liked Vandal Savage as a villain, and I wasn't that keen on Rip. The show got rather boring. However, with the weekly 'story' (which are all a bit crazy and huge fun imho), Legends has easily zoomed to the top of my list? (And as I've said in the Legends thread, I'm completely in love with Mick Rory, lol...) I still love Arrow, but I feel that it's still finding its way - it seems to be moving rather slowly. It's a bit dark and dreary and not much is really happening yet, somehow - the same goes for the Flash, it's all got a bit confused? (And the whole Harrison Wells thing has become mega-irritating!) Supergirl has always felt quite separate from the others imho - in some ways this is a good thing, but again it needs to up the action a bit, I want to see Supergirl doing more! Finally, a mini-rant - about what I call 'RDJ Syndrome'. In so many superhero shows/films these days, it seems like half the world is copying Robert Downey Jr's unique acting style - that dry, staccato, deadpan delivery that is SO him (RDJ IS Iron Man!). Actors, this is RDJ's own thing, not your thing - so do your own thing! I'm talking to you, Brandon Routh (Ray), Carlos Valdes (Cisco), Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity), Echo Kellum (Curtis), and others - you know who you are! Others actors in the shows don't do this, and they manage perfectly well? (Every time a new character turns up suffering from RDJS, I think, "Oh gawd, not another..." This certainly isn't an Arrowverse-only disease - Agents of SHIELD is chock-a-block with RDJS! Clean yourself up, Marvel, your virus is spreading... )

Arrow, I've found has got better this season compared to last. Significantly better. Flash is the one (if any) that I'm slightly disappointed by, cause it's just more of the same; Barry making stupid mistakes, and another Speedster that at first is untouchable, but come full circle, Barry will obviously defeat (somehow). |

That's really interesting. How come you placed Legends third? (And would your placings for the last seasons be the same?)
As for last season the only difference is Supergirl has replaced The Flash as my favourite as Supergirl was in second place on my list. |

Legends of Tomorrow 1 Legends of Tomorrow 2 Supergirl 3 Arrow 4 The Flash but it quite easily switch round each week as I tend to rate episode by episode rather than as a whole. If it was going on all the episodes of each show available so far it would be: 1 Arrow 2 Legends of Tomorrow 3 The Flash 4 Supergirl |

1) Flash
2) Legends Of Tomorrow 3) Arrow 4) Supergirl Supergirl is fourth as despite the changes for season two it's still a show that I struggle with out of all of them So this coming week is the 4 part crossover and I can't wait for it just to see the interaction between all the characters! |

1. Supergirl/Legends
2. The Flash 3. Arrow Dramatic change from when Arrow used to be my no.1 and Legends last. That's mainly down to all the casting changes. Legends is complete switch your brain off fun and a good tonic for the week now that Kendra & Carter aren't holding it back. In Arrow however I'm struggling to see what the goal is at the minute and the flashbacks are even more tedious. Curtis aside, the newbies (I still can't even remember their names, that's how much of an impression they've left on me), don't really add much to the team dynamic and shock horror - I miss Laurel. Thea also needs to get back to being Speedy. |

I only watch Flash now. The rest has gone to shit, even Arrow. I did enjoy the Superman episodes of Supergirl and will only watch the show again when he returns. I didn't make it halfway with Legends of Tomorrow which is a shame because its opening two episodes were great.
1. The Flash 2. Arrow 3. Supergirl 4. Legends of Tomorrow |

The cross over wasn't as good as I hoped. I still enjoyed parts of it and I would have liked seeing the whole team fighting the aliens for a bit longer than what we saw.

I was hoping for some subtle or not so subtle appearance from Batman, or at least Police Commissioner Wayne, since they are riffing on the whole DC multiverse thing...
Could be quite interesting to see Batman confronting Green Arrow - Oi Matey, I do the dark conflicted hero stuff round these parts... you get your own shtick... |

I enjoyed the crossover eps but I do think it could have been even better. Although supergirl was hardly in it and who the hell did oliver think he was telling her he didn't want her there. It wasn't even his fight, it was barry's which is why he brought her so it should have been barry's decision. I'm assuming now supergirl has been given that device to allow her to go between earths they'll be many more crossovers in the future.
