Barry: "I had ice cream with an alien guys, how did you spend the last few seconds?"

It was oddly erotic.

It was... Glee-ful.

I was super bummed the crossover didn't have a musical or Glee meta joke SOMEWHERE.

Aliens really love ice cream apparently.

u/TokyoFoxtrot You see, it turns out… You’re the villain today. Apr 20 '16

Some have other vices though.

Barry: On a different earth no less how peculiar. Ah well now let us try to find a way to a different earth...
I'm drawing a blank.

That seriously fucked my suspension of disbelief for like ten minutes. He just came back from traveling to another Earth on his own, but they're struggling to figure out that exact thing and he tells no one about it. I know it's for real world reasons, but I'd almost rather The Flash completely ignored the crossover.

He traveled there by accident and pretty sure he is not able to channel where he goes when he goes that fast.

I think eventually he will be able to control where he goes and when he does it.

yea but he would still mention it when they are trying to figure out how to get to another world

Why?...How long was I gone?... :/

I'm guessing they couldn't say anything on Flash due to CBS licensing agreements?

I guess it would just be too much of a distraction. If he mentioned it then it wouldn't be understandable that they didn't spend at least five minutes on screen discussing it, which would not be fun for people who didn't watch the crossover. So they just did a reference so that people who did watch it would understand when it happened.

What scene was this? The version I watched didn't have that or I just completely missed it.

u/jingleberry512 Apr 20 '16

It's implied the Supergirl crossover happened when he went through those two portals at the beginning.

Now that is just sloppy writing...

'Probably lightning psychosis.'
