PART ONE OF THE EPIC CROSSOVER EVENT WITH THE FLASH AND ARROW

"Flash vs. Arrow"

Barry (Grant Gustin) is thrilled when Oliver (guest star Stephen Amell), Felicity (guest star Emily Bett Rickards) and Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) come to Central City to investigate a case involving a deadly boomerang. Excited about teaming up with his friend, Barry asks Oliver if he'd like to help him stop Ray Bivolo (guest star Paul Anthony), the meta-human Barry is currently tracking. Bivolo causes people to lose control of their emotions and has been using that skill to rob banks. Unfortunately, the superhero partnership doesn't go as smoothly as Barry expected. When Oliver tells Barry he still has a lot to learn, Barry sets out to prove him wrong by attempting to stop Bivolo alone. However, when Bivolo infects Barry and sets him on a rage rampage, everyone is in danger, and the only one who can stop him is the Arrow. Meanwhile, Iris (Candice Patton) is furious when Eddie (Rick Cosnett) tries to get a task force to stop The Flash, Joe and Dr. Wells (Tom Cavanagh) agree the Arrow is a bad influence on Barry, and Caitlin and Cisco deal with a new team in S.T.A.R. Labs.

Glen Winter directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Ben Sokolowski & Brooke Eikmeier (#108).

The Flash 1x08 Comic Preview:

I think I'm gonna save up the Flash ep and watch it together with the Arrow ep.
Should be fun to watch the crossover as a double feature ... I'm looking forward to it.

Team Arrow and Team Flash combine ...



Diggle ... LOL, I think I'll love this ep ...

The guy from Spartacus who was just on poi is now boomerang.
So is that now 3 actors from Spartacus who have been on arrow? slade And I Think
one of the girls was on at some point.

The actress playing Waller (the A.R.G.U.S. chief) was Crixus' girl in Spartacus.

Ok thanks, I thought there had been one.

I watched the show tonight and it was pretty good and revealed some things, I wont say what right now .

Well ollie did tell barry to forget about iris or it would put her in danger, but he is so lovesick, I doubt he will do that.

Ras AL ghuls daughter was on Spartacus as well, she was mira, the slave who was with Spartacus

Yeah, I remember her well ...

So I couldn't resist and watched it ...
Well, what can I say, I absolutely loved it. The interaction of team Arrow and team Flash was - regarding the fun factor - the best I've seen so far in Arrow and the Flash. How the Diggles reacted to Barry being the Flash or Cisco's, Caitlin's and Felicity's one-liners ...  just awesome.
Now I really can't wait for the continuation with the Arrow episode ....

Yea, it was a great episode, I loved the fight between Arrow and Flash too, plus seeing Firestorm at the end!!

Ok she was the one I was thinking of so that makes 4.
Funny thing is in the part 2 they put the boomerang guy in cell with slade, so they are in prison together sort of like spartacus, wonder if they get along any better ?

The ep was good and at end the girl ollie runs into has a kid, and I bet it is ollie's.

I think also that the guy who was caitlins bf may still be alive and a meta human maybe the firestorm guy  the way they did the end.
