PART TWO OF THE ARROW AND FLASH CROSSOVER EVENT

"The Brave and the Bold"

Oliver (Stephen Amell), Arsenal (Colton Haynes) and Diggle (David Ramsey) track down the location of a boomerang-wielding killer named Digger Harkness (guest star Nick E. Tarabay) but are surprised when they come face to face with an A.R.G.U.S. team. Diggle asks Lyla (guest star Audrey Marie Anderson) why A.R.G.U.S. is involved, but she defers until Harkness attacks the building, killing several agents and targeting Lyla. The Arrow joins the fight and gets help from an old friend - The Flash (guest star Grant Gustin). Harkness manages to get away and Oliver teams up with Barry again to find him before he can get to Lyla. When Harkness plants five bombs in the city that are timed to explode at the same time, both teams must come together to save the city.

Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg, and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim & Grainne Godfree Schwartz (#308).

It was pretty good ,  I think they are too casual with the secret identities thing, now dr wells knows who the arrow is.
With boomerang I was wanting more of a it goes past them and comes back and hits them.
The way they did it most are just straight hits.
I guess his whole deal was revenge on the woman and he  sort of messed up, but he did hit her.
I was surprised that he would just leave.
Also boomerang is supposed to be a flash villain and in this he was a Arrow villain.

The Flash

4.22

Arrow

1.4

3.90

the Arrow earned a series high 1.4, way up from its last original's 0.9 adults 18-49 rating.

so the Arrow picked up some flash viewers and it may keep some of them?
Flash also picked up some arrow viewers as the 4.22 was higher than what it has been,
only ep higher was the # 1 at 4.50.

So I think that means they will want to do more crossovers.
They should do a comedy crossover with supernatural? then have it just be a dream of Barrys or Cisco.

Cw should start on developing another comic show now, their 2 best shows are comic shows,
and flash is getting the kind of ratings they need.
I would like to see a marvel character.
Spiderman would be a good one.
So far it seems for tv, and CW they are all DC characters.

That's because CW(WB) have the rights for DC, not marvel. Marvel is owned by Disney(ABC) which is why their shows are on ABC, but they are going to have a few shows on Netflix next season starting with Daredevil

Looks like this "Flarrow" crossover was a great idea of The CW ... and I have to say, it was executed excellently, kudos to the cast and teams of both shows!
I hope there will be another "Flarrow" event this season ... and maybe some visits of single team members to each other city (like Felicity visited Barry a few eps ago).

Yea, I really like both shows being in the same universe. There's potential for a lot of cool stuff

they have to do more of them, after the big ratings.

They need to do a cross over with walking dead , or NCIS !!
see what that does to the ratings.

ok thanks for the info,  They should not be so controlling of this, as if disney let CW do a marvel show, disney would make money off it and another of theirs is on TV.

I think  A spiderman TV show done after the original comic storys would be better than any movies could be.
The first 3 movies were all about mary jane and how he loved her from childhood which was total fiction.
MJ sort of ruins the first 3 movies for me , I have to FF thru her scenes.
And then the villains, and action.
Not a lot of the other that was in the comics, like JJ, and they had a great actor playing JJ and he was wasted.

NOw the new movie was just silly version of lizard, super quick version of Gwen Stacey, and just overall a poorly done movie.
Like they read one comic and said ok I'm ready to make the movie!
