I could believe in her love for Eddie but not for Barry. And Barry, his obssesion for Iris made him a bad friend. The first things he did after the battle was to apologise to Iris for something not his fault, when he should have checked on Cisco who was hurt. <br /><br />The Olicity drama was also contrived. <br /><br />I liked the Alex/Sara one night stand though. It was too bad they weren't from the same earth.

I would watch 3 more hours of just the various characters from the 4 shows talking about their lives to each other and solving problems from other shows.Patrykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13662838711958747484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-4933209383334373012017-11-30T05:51:21.007-05:002017-11-30T05:51:21.007-05:00I am also grateful for the explanation of Earth X....I am also grateful for the explanation of Earth X.<br /><br />I agree that one-night stands may not be the best way as a rule, but what we are seeing in this episode is that a woman is not being punished for having had sex. And as long as the one-night stand is consensual, and especially if neither participant is in another relationship, then why should anyone else care?Victoria Grossackhttp://www.tapestryofbronze.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-58740810801958924662017-11-30T04:12:15.192-05:002017-11-30T04:12:15.192-05:00Thanks, Gary!

RIP Len. :(<br /><br />Not sure I'm on board that normalization of one-night stands is equality for women or Kara explaining it away as it just showing that Alex is "healthy." Maybe one-night stands aren't that cool for either gender?DebG.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15535778897976326759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-32930143959519560432017-11-28T19:08:53.449-05:002017-11-28T19:08:53.449-05:00Gary, thanks -- that makes sense.

Writer Len Wein originally wanted to call it Earth-(Swastika), but editor Julie Schwartz refused to allow a swastika in the title of any book he oversaw. Len understood Julie's feelings, so he changed the name to Earth-X as a compromise.

I think that waitress/caterer was Barry and Iris's daughter. <br /><br />I know it was mostly set up but I've been looking forward to this for a while, and so far it's lived up to my expectations. <br /><br />Great Review.

But if you are talking tactics, it's not the best move.<br /><br />But we want the villains to lose, and we want to be entertained.

This...I have to say that I enjoyed it tremendously. This one was really all set-up for the four-part story (I am assuming, since I haven't seen the other three episodes yet), but seeing so many characters I care about interacting in the same place was so much fun. <br /><br />I also loved the women in the nail salon scene, and Dominic Purcell's Mick of course stole the show over and over, as anyone could have predicted. But my favorite thing was Alex and Sara Lance having a one night stand. The moment they met, I knew it was going to happen. :)<br /><br />Victoria, the minister thing was a cameo in-joke, which I think might explain why he was a target. It was William Katt, who was the star of another superhero show way back when, <i>The Greatest American Hero</i>. I laughed out loud when I recognized him.Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.com
