Arrow | Season 5 Episode 8 - "Invasion!"


Spoiler Alert!

So here it is, the second/third part of the biggest super hero crossover!
Unfotunatelly, this rant isn't as good as The Flash one, but I'm going to explain.
This was Arrow's 100 Episode, which is great! And, because of that, they decided to do some type of special episode, with a lot of old characters and, in that, the episode was great but as a crossover, not so much. Neither Barry or Supergirl were much in this episode, the only character that was more relevant was Cisco, which was nice, really liked to see him working with Felicity and Curtis! Love the geek's parts!
Anyway, although this wasn't my favourite episode, obviously I'm still going to proper rant about it.
So, this as a continuation from The Flash's last episode, like I said previously, so Sara, Ray, Thea, Oliver and Diggle were abducted by the aliens, so this episode was basically all about them and what they were going through, inside their minds.
We see everyone having some type of 'dream life'. Oliver is back at the Queen Manor, both his parents are alive, he is about to marry Laurel and Diggle is the Hood. 
Meanwhile all of this is happening inside their heads, our geeks, Felicity, Curtis and Cisco try to hack the Dominators' technology.
After that, that's when Barry and Supergirl come into action, to get something that they needed to find the others, ending up really finding them.
In their 'fantasy life', Sara, Ray and Oliver start having flashes of their real lives and soon everyone realizes that their in some type of hallucination.
That's when they decide to leave that 'world' and Arrow's former villains appear, Malcolm Merlyn from Season 1, Deathstroke from Season 2 and Damien Darhk from Season 4. Oliver and the captives end up defeating them get out of their hallucination, waking up inside the Dominators' ship,
They get to leave the ship and they are about to crash, that's when the Waverider appears and rescues them, making the transition to Legends of Tomorrow.
But, before the episode ends, we learn that the Dominators abducted them because they were the ones without superpowers and because they were trying to get information in order to complete a special 'weapon'. Right before the episode ends we also see the Dominators' mothership heading towards Earth. And, that's how the episode ends.
So, like I said before, this wasn't like a great episode, but I believe the Legends of Tomorrow will, that's why I'm live tweeting during this episode for the first time, because, although this wasn't the best episode, this is still a good crossover so I'm really excited to see the end of it.
Well, I guess this is the end of this rant. 
Tomorrow there will be new two rants, Legends of Tomorrow one and Supernatural one so, bee on the look for that.
Don't forget to let me know your thoughts about the crossover so far and I'll see you tomorrow.
Love,
Daniela.
