Relative to “Invasion,” it made sense to incorporate Earth 38 scenes into “The Flash” episode. Earth 38 is what Cisco refers to as Supergirl’s Earth. If you are wondering how the Girl of Steel plays a role in this episode, the scenes in “Medusa” when Barry and Cisco visited Earth 38 are key. In addition to Team Arrow, members of the “Legends of Tomorrow” were also called upon to lend a hand. Barry rushed to Star City to recruit Team Arrow in his fight against the invading aliens. The aliens, called “the Dominators,” are a clear and present danger to humanity as we know it. His reaction to seeing aliens on his Earth was priceless. Initially believing the vessel to be a meteorite, the Flash sped to the location. The actual “invasion” happened on “The Flash” where an alien vessel crash landed in Central City. Many people, myself included, can relate to the anxiety Alex was feeling. Eliza Danvers (Helen Slater) and her relationship with her daughter Alex (Chyler Leigh). Alex was attempting to come out as gay. She disappointed her mother by preventing alien life in National City from being killed.Ī significant scene, at least for members of the LGBTQ community, revolved around Dr. Unlike her brother, Lena was determined to follow a different path. Lillian Luthor (Brenda Strong), the mother of Lex and Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), attempted to release an airborne Kryptonian chemical, which is designed to kill all alien lives except for Kryptonians. Logically, with the episodes from “The Flash,” “Arrow” and “Legends of Tomorrow” bearing the same title, the inclusion of “Supergirl” seems like an afterthought.ĭespite this point, even though the scene with Barry Allen/The Flash (Grant Gustin) and Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes) was brief, it was clear a significant threat had prompted a visit to Kara Danvers/Supergirl (Melissa Benoist).įeaturing multiple encounters between the Girl of Steel and Cyborg Superman (David Harewood), “Medusa,” was action-packed. While the CW skillfully advertised the crossover as a four-night, the “Supergirl” episode did not add anything substantive to the “Invasion” story arc. This storyline, called “Invasion,” is better described as a three-night event with a tiny connection to “Supergirl.” Because “The Flash” characters appearance in “Supergirl” was so brief, I can understand why some people might feel deceived by the CW marketing strategy. Aliens,” the CW’s four-night event, kicked off on Monday with the “Supergirl” episode “Medusa.” Thanks to a well-devised marketing strategy, the CW billed the event as a crossover between its four DC superhero shows.
