Season 3 Episode 8:

Hey, everyone, we are back with the fourth and final part of the Crisis on Earth-X crossover where we have a bunch of action and drama. So spoilers ahead for the episode and the rest of the of the crossover.

The episode opens from part 3 where Martin is shot at the Nazi facility on Earth-X. Martin gets up and gets shot again and he pulls the switch which opens up the portal the Earth-1. The Heroes go with Ray and Leonard to Earth-1 right before the facility is destroyed.

On Earth-1, STAR Labs, Eobard attempts to cut Kara however he cut as Ray Palmer, the Atom is stopping him. Ray grows to regular size and takes down Eobard who run’s away. Ray gets Felicity and Kara to the Waverider. Nate shows up and lets Cisco and the others out of the pipeline, while Oliver, Leonard, Ray and the others come out of the portal to Earth-1, The Atom is taken down by Grüner Pfeil, and he threatens Felicity. Oliver then arrives and threatens Overgirl. After a standoff, the Reverse Flash saves Overgirl and Grüner Pfeil. Meanwhile, Metallo shows up and Black Canary, Widdog, Mr. Teriffic, Vixen, Citizen Steel, Heatwave, Killer Frost, Zari, Firestorm, and the Ray take down Metallo.

All the heroes escape STAR Labs and onto the Waverider where Firestorm splits apart and Martin is put under medical care, however, Jax is also affected by Martin's wounds through their psychic connection. Meanwhile, Barry and Iris meet up again while Kara and Alex reconcile. Leonard has a talk with Mick who thinks Leonard is in his head, but he is not. Meanwhile, Caitlin checks up on Jax and tells him that everything is going to be fine. She talks with Ray Palmer and tells him that things are not looking good as Gideon cannot fix Martin, and Jax is the only thing keeping Martin alive.

Zari and Amaya give Curtis a tour of the Waverider as he attempts to track Overgirl, he discovers that when Overgirl dies, she will turn into a supernova which could destroy Central City. Back with Jax and Stein, Martin tells Jax to let him go as he is dragging Jax down. Jax says to Martin that he will die with him is that is the case. Martin then tells Jax that the chemical for breaking apart Firestorm is their only chance for Jax to live, but Jax does not want to let Martin die. Martin tells Jax that he has his whole life ahead of him and that he has lived his already. Martin also tells Jax that he is like his son, and no father would want their son to suffer. Jax starts to cry as he gives Martin the chemical. Martin drinks the chemical and holds Jax's hand as he tells him to tell his wife, daughter, and grandson that he loves them, right before Martin passes away.

Sara sees Jax crying over Martin's passed body and she tells the team. We see everyone on the ship, such as Barry, Cisco, Caitlin, Ray and the other Legends upset over the loss of the fellow friend. We then see Jax go to Martin's house where he tells Martin's wife, Clarissa, and his daughter, Lilly.

Meanwhile, on the Nazi Waverider, the Wellenreiter we see that Overgirl is dying, and there is nothing which can be done. Back on board the regular Waverider, the team gets an incoming call which they answer. Grüner Pfeil offers the team that they will leave Earth-1 if they surrender Kara, which Oliver declines. The team finds that Earth-X is invading Earth-1 Central City, so the team heads out to protect the City that Martin loved.

On the ground, the Oliver, Barry, Kara, Alex, Caitlin, Leonard, the Ray, and the Legends are suited up and they fight the invading Nazi's on a road in Central City. Meanwhile, Cisco is piloting the Waverider getting closer to the Wellenreiter. Cisco attacks the Wellenreiter, however, no damage is done as their shield is on. Felicity attempts to hack and take down the shield of the Wellenreiter, however, she fails. On the ground, Barry fights the Reverse Flash and chases him throughout the city while Oliver fights the Grüner Pfeil, as everyone else fights the army of Nazis. Up in the sky, Kara flies to the Wellenreiter, where she challenges Overgirl to a fight who accepts.

Caitlin then uses her frost path to bring Zari and Amaya to the Wellenreiter where Zari uses her hacking skills to disable the shield on the Wellenreiter. On the Waverider Harry takes the pilot seat while Cisco breaches to save Caitlin, Zari, and Amaya on the Wellenreiter, and brings them back to the Waverider. Harry then uses everything the Waverider has on the Wellenreiter and destroys it.

On the ground, Barry chases Eobard and gets him on a wall. Barry has a chance to kill Eobard but does not and lets him go. Eobard tells Barry that he will see him again "maybe with a different face." Kara continues to fight Overgirl, and Harry tells Kara over the coms that Overgirl is about to go Supernova. Kara carries Overgirl to space where Overgirl blows up. On the ground, Grüner Pfeil freaks out that his wife, Overgirl is dead, but Oliver manages to kill his Earth-X counterpart.
Kara starts to fall to the ground from space but luckily she is caught by Nate, the man of steel saving the girl of steel.

Back at STAR Labs, Barry thanks the Ray and Leonard. Cisco opens up a breach to Earth-X for the two to go through. Leonard says that he is going to stay on Earth-1. So the Ray gives a goodbye kiss to Leonard and goes through to the portal. Later on, a funeral is held for Martin. Everyone is there as Jax says some words about Martin and all that he was and did. Everyone then says their farewells to Professor Martin Stein.

After that, Alex has a talk with Sara and thanks her for changing her perspective. Sara then leaves with the Legends on the Waverider. Kara and Alex say their goodbyes to Barry, Iris, Oliver, and Felicity, as they portal back to Earth-38. Barry asks Oliver if he can marry him and Iris, Oliver says he can't but he knows a man that can. Barry then goes to Star City and gets John Diggle to marry him and Iris. John first pukes and then marries Barry and Iris. Felicity than asks John if she can also marry her and Oliver, which he does dom leaving the Flash and Green Arrow married to the ones they love.


So to start off this episode was a really neat finale to the crossover, definitely topped last year's conclusion, which was great. There were multiple things that worked in the episode. I loved the way the rest of the Legends team, was introduced, especially Atom, that was great seeing him hold off the knife and also that hand growth takedown he did. The Ray and Leonard were interesting characters see in the episode. I was excited to see the characters in the episode and they worked. The Ray was not developed too much in the episode, like how he got into Earth-X, but I guess it may get explained in the Freedom Fighters cartoon. Leonard Snart, Citizen Cold in the episode was a nice twist on the character. I thought that the character was going to be the in the crossover to bite the dust, but he is now living on Earth-1 so it will be easy for the character to appear on the shows.

The Earth-X counterparts in the episode were great. I liked the way that Overgirl and Nazi Green Arrow went out. Reverse Flans this crossover was great to see return, especially with the Easter egg that he has fought Superman before. but the ending of the character is the tease that Reverse Flash will return either looking like Harrison Wells his regular self. The ending of the episode was okay, I thought that the Felicity and Oliver wedding was a little tacked on, but it was done so now Oliver and Felicity are married, as well as. Barry and Iris. It was also great having John at least have an appearance in the crossover.

The big death in the crossover was super emotional. I was blown away that Martin was killed off.We knew that Victor Garber was leaving Legends of Tomorrow as the actor is doing other projects, however, I thought that the character was going to have a happy ending, leaving the option for a guest appearance. But his death was a large surprise and it worked for the narrative of the crossover as Stein had a lot of relationships with so many of the characters, from all the shows. So rest in peace Professor Martin Stein.

The cast in the episode was absolutely exceptional. Everyone did such a great job. I just have to say a that Franz Drameh and Victor Garber were amazing with all that happened in the episode, they nothing bought the emotional impact that the episode needed. The rest of the cast in the episode was great we had, Victor Garber (Martin Stein), Franz Drameh (Jax/ Firestorm), Stephen Amell (Green Arrow/ Grüner Pfeil), Melissa Benoist (Supergirl/ Overgirl), Grant Gustin (Barry /the Flash), Caity Lotz (Sara/ White Canary), Domicic Purcell (Mick/ Heatwave), Brandon Routh (Ray/ the Atom), Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Amaya/Vixen), Nick Zano (Nate/ Citizen Steel), Tala Ashe (Zari Tomaz), Amy Louise Pemberton (Gideon), Emily Bett Rickards (Felicity Smoak), Candice Patton (Iris West), Tom Cavanagh (Harry/ Reverse Flash), Chyler Leigh (Alex Danvers),  Danielle Panabaker (Caitlin/ Killer Frost), Harkavy (Dinah Drake/ Black Canary), Echo Kellum (Curtis/ Mr. Terrific), Rick Gonzalez (Rene/ Wilddog), Isabella Hofmann (Clarissa Stein), Christina Brucato (Lilly Stein), Wentworth Miller (Leonard/ Citizen Cold), Russell Tovey (the Ray) and David Ramsey (John Diggle).

In conclusion, the finale of Crisis on Earth-X crossover was a brilliant episode of TV which had a lot of action and a lot of drama with the death of Martin Stein. All of this was achieved with the brilliant cast of all the shows and all the talent behind the camera which made this event feel almost like a movie, which is enjoyable. I will give the episode a 9.5 out of 10. I absolutely love this crossover for what it is on. The episode. Please comment your thoughts on the episode and the crossover overall, like what was your favorite scene? Or what was your favorite character? As always thanks for reading, take care
