Crisis on Earth X

I saw the first two episodes of the annual crossover of the CW DC superhero TV shows, where our heroes get invaded by Nazis! They're attacked by the villains--all dark side versions of themselves--from Earth X, which was subjugated by Nazi Germany, who won the Second World War. Somebody on the writing staff must be a big fan of The Man In The High Castle (at one point, Felicity even gives a shout out to this series).

Overall, I liked this one better than last year's team-up, which had badly created CG aliens as the villains. There's something to be said for having real flesh and blood villains right there on screen. And there even was a really nice scene between Sara Lance and Alex Danvers, who had a memorable one night stand. I've often wondered what would happen if these two ever got together, and thanks to the first episode, they did. Bravo!

At the end of the the second episode there's a bondage scene, but it's with both men and women (spoiler: our heroes get captured by the baddies), and they just have their hands tied behind their backs (and no gags). All in all, it's been fun so so far. I'm looking forward to seeing the second half of the saga.
