Arrow/The Flash/Legends of Tomorrow/Supergirl SUPERTHREAD [***SPOILERS - The CW***]

I'll be watching them daily for sure - ridiculously excited about this crossover.

It helps that I've pretty much just finished all of my work deadlines, after a pretty full on three weeks, so this crossover is coming at just the right time as well.

Well, that was class. A lot happening and just phenomenally epic to have all of the heroes on screen together. Diggle and Mick obviously having some of the best lines in that episode, but some nice moments in there for pretty much everyone.

Really psyched for tomorrow, which is also the 100th episode of Arrow, and heard a bit about the flashback aspect of the episode which sounds brilliant...

I think the JSA from 1942 were more a super hero team that hid in shadows that the public never knew about. When the legends met them it didn't look like they had heard of them before. The Hall of Justice will probably be something only used in crossover events when all heroes team up. And I doubt they will form a team like the JSA just yet as Supergirl lives in Earth 38, the Legends are time travellers and Team Arrow and Team Flash only deal with their respective cities. Unless the CW decide to create a modern day JLA show with a whole new team just so there is a superhero show on every day.

The CW would never relegate a Superhero show to Friday, which in the US is considered a death slot, and the Arrow-verse is their bread and butter. Possible in a few years time they'd move one of the current shows to Friday, but not in the foreseeable future anyway.

Also Legends is moving to the post Flash slot on Tuesdays after Christmas, so it'll only be 3 nights.

Has there ever actually been a show that did better on a Friday night over its original slot .

Last Man Standing on ABC or Hawaii Five-0 on CBS possibly, but I'm not sure if that's correct, they're just two that I know do well in their timeslots. Nothing else in recent history springs to mind. Up until the early 2000s, Friday used to be on a par with every other night of the week I think, but then it became the place where shows went to die.

Anyway, no danger of any of these shows getting that treatment anytime soon, thankfully.

Lads, I don't know about anyone else, but for me this whole crossover has just been phenomenal television and puts the recent DC big screen attempts to absolute shame. As much as the action and fight sequences were epic and great to watch, I think the real winning element to these four shows is that all the characters just have a f**kload of heart, and sure sometimes they can drive us nuts, but ultimately the characters and the portrayal of these characters is just what makes it. I definitely teared up a couple of times over the past 3 nights, and I will re-watch this crossover countless times in the future, because it just ticked all the boxes.

Not to mention all the Easter Eggs and References we got over the past few nights, which have also been fantastic. Two of them in particular tonight had me fist pumping the air in excitement - Felicity while speaking gibberish as a side effect of the waverider trip saying "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra" which for those of you unfamiliar is a repeated phrase from one of the greatest ever episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The other Easter Egg I loved was during the celebrations at the end when Ray said that Kara reminded him of his cousin, because of course Brandon Routh played Superman in Superman Returns.

Obviously the two biggest gamechangers to come out of the crossover being Supergirl can now easily move between worlds and they all have means to contact each other, so future crossovers can now feature more Supergirl cast and vice versa for characters going over there, and then of course we now have our Central City Hangar and Group Base of Operations ***cough cough*** Hall of Justice ***cough cough***
