I wasn't sure about her dress when I first saw it but now I'm all ? ? ?  over Iris at her wedding. What a beauty! 

It does seem a bit strange that Wally's not up the front instead of Oliver but I guess...crossover and all that.

Bite your tongue! ? The pic of Mick (Mickpic?) looking like he's suffering the worst time of his life at the wedding, and then the one of him sleeping through the ceremony, are making me LMAO.

The pic with him sitting next to Captain Singh is gold.  The look on Singh's face. :)

[Mellowyellow]

Ok I can't attach pics and I gotta catch a train but it looks like Felicity and Iris get taken to a lab and EXOliver is there as he is standing with EXWells in one of the pics.

Someone help!

[Starfish35]

Apparently EarthX Winn does appear at least briefly.

[Angel12d]

The lack of Diggle has me ?  though.

Guess they are going there all the way:

That actor looks really familiar

OH CRAP, THERE'S NO DIGGLE. Does this have something to do with a spoiler I don't know about?!

Russell Tovey was in Being Human (UK version), Sherlock (Hounds of Baskerville, I think?) and most recently Quantico.

Yes, I thought it was the guy from Being Human. Thanks!

I'm starting to worry that the reason Barry has to speed him to the wedding is that he stays behind in Star City for the rest of the crossover.

Oh god, I hope not! That's doing Diggle/David dirty if his only part in the crossover is wedding officiant. 

[Primal Slayer]

Someone has to get the short end and this time its him.

I hope not too.  But for these shows I have found prepare for the worst, hope for the best to be a sound philosophy. 

[JamieLynn832002]

If Dig is still dealing with the tremor, I can see him not being involved in the fighting but I don't know why he wouldn't be at the wedding. I really hope he's just not in the pics for some reason.

Same. Maybe that's why they gave him the GA role for a while because they knew he'd have less to do in the crossover?

If I had to guess they just leave someone behind to watch the city (and make sure Raisa doesn't make William eat too much granola).

[lemotomato]

From the pics, it looks like Diggle doesn't go to the wedding in part 1, parts 2-3 take place on Earth X with just Oliver, Barry and the LoT crew, and part 4 is when the rest of Team Arrow gets involved, presumably when the fight comes back to Earth 1. So it kind of makes sense for Diggle to miss most of the crossover.

Well Aunt Thea should be awake and recovering by then and she's not going to CC, so I guess ice cream and babysitting duties will fall to the "Cool Aunt" for her offscreen storyline.

I was just wondering about this, I couldn't remember if the Wedding was on Supergirl or Arrow. I guess it could be both? Maybe Supergirl ends with the Nazis barging in and then Arrow picks up with Arrowverse people fighting back?

As for Diggle I swear there was a video of him fighting in that big sequence (all mask pic), he one of the Paps posted it.

[JJ928]

Isn't Oliver a groomsman? Ushers normally just guide people to their seats, and don't necessarily stand at the alter.

I'm annoyed about no Digg, but DR did say he didn't have a big part of the crossover. 

Edited November 18, 2017 by JJ928

[lemotomato]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Oliver is a groomsman

[Primal Slayer]

[apinknightmare]

Barry's hair looks less goober-ish here, thankfully. Iris looks like she's being held at gunpoint for this pic though. It's a lifetime with Barry - I get it.

[Angel12d]

She looks so beautiful though. Hearts in my eyes!

Although LOL at them choosing red and yellow flowers because it's the Flash colors. Haha. 

[way2interested]

So timeline of this (that I can make out) is

Supergirl

• Character intros/recaps
• What looks to be a rehearsal dinner for character interactions and introductions (ex: Alex and Sara)
• Wedding
• Wedding gets interrupted by E-X army and fight ensues
• The doubles aren't revealed to be doubles yet and fight with those masks on
• The heroes presumably win for now (possibly with the help of Citizen Cold and the Ray)

Arrow

• They find out that the E-X people are their doubles (probably right away with E-X Tommy in the pipeline in that shot)
• Background and exposition
• Doubles are introduced
• Some of the heroes are captured for some reason, probably as they take the battle to E-X

Flash

• The heroes escape and meet up at the Freedom Fighters lair
• They figure out the plan/make a plan to stop it
• Iris and Felicity are captured
• The heroes plan to take the battle to regular Earth

LoT

• They save Iris and Felicity and have a big crossover battle on regular Earth
• Stein dies
• Double wedding

And then somewhere along the line they'll have the plots going on in the background (some sort of Stein set-up before he dies, Oliver's plot, WestAllen having their wedding interrupted, Alex and Sara, Oliver and Kara, the tech team working together, etc.).

Also of note, the pink triangle is what the Nazi's used to designate homosexuality.

The flower choice is so tacky I didn't even get The Flash colour connection over just the tacky choice.

 

But I agree Iris does make a beautiful bride.

It just hit me why Mick is invited to the wedding. Barry invited him. Because, sometime ago when he needed help to break into Argus, he went and fetched a certain someone who told him he'd do it and as payment just not to "sit him at the kid's table at the wedding."

Barry knew then he would never be able to make good on that promise. So he did the only thing he felt he could to honour him - he invited that man's partner and best friend to attend in his stead. Mick probably doesn't even know.

[leopardprint]

I see there are no flower girls. Barry probably erased their existence.

Barry's pants are too high in that rehearsal dinner pic.

I found the yellow rose a bit odd because it's a symbol of friendship not romantic love.  But I guess Barry and Iris were friends first?

[Miss Dee]

Aside from the Flash colours, a marriage being a mix of romance and friendship is probably pretty damned accurate. Love that symbolism.

Red for passionate love

Yellow for friendship & happiness

White for purity & innocence

So I think It's suppose to be a nod to Barry as the Flash and a nod to their relationship as a whole.

I'm still not sold on the Nazis, but I do like that the resistance is apparently using EarthX's bunker. It looks grittier than team Arrow's bunker currently, so I imagine that's what it is. The only thing that would have been better would be the old Arrow lair where OTA converged to fight the corruption in SC. But the message remains the same to me.

I'm trying to decided whether or not that's Felicity on the computer behind Alex. The hair seems too curly, but she is wearing heeled booties and that jacket doesn't look much different from the one she's wearing when she and Iris are kidnapped.

 

[Mellowyellow]

Why is Felicity getting kidnapped! That intrigues me! She's normally not a candidate for kidnapping.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. They kidnapped a black woman and a Jewish woman. 

[statsgirl]

And Iris is black.  They were foul to the Roma too.

The pictures kinda look like maybe they want to do experiments on them? Because Wells  is in like a doctor's coat.

Is that Felicity in the background about to sit down at the computer?  That would mean they are there on EarthX initially for a different reason (not just a rescue) and then she and Iris get caught/kidnapped.  Unless this is a picture after they are rescued?

Yeah, although we can't be sure if they actually thought the optics of that through and did it on purpose or if they just needed the two non combat non costumed LIs to be captured together for plot and no body realised that meant Nazis experiementing on a black and Jewish woman. Or maybe they did and they're really leaning into the Nazi theme ala the Ray's pink triangle.

Which makes me wonder how they know she's Jewish.   Did they research her?  Because I'm no Nazi,  but if I were I wouldn't be looking at the blonde haired,  blue eyed Felicity and screaming Jewish.

 I assumed they know Earth-X Felicity is Jewish (and if the grave photos are real they do) - and so that means they know this Felicity is too.

Hmm Scarlet Johanssen Alicia Silverstone Sarah Michelle Gellar are Jewish and blonde (although I'm not sure if they are naturally blonde) and I believe Gwyneth Paltrow is part Jewish and she's probably the most WASP-iest looking person ever. 

[Mellowyellow]

Unless XOliver is trying to clone her or something as per WM's dark love story. 

I feel like they would take her for a different reason than just her religion. 

[tofutan]

I just read somebody speculating that Earth X Oliver and Overgirl might have a thing. There is not enough brain bleach in the world.

That is based entirely on David Ramsey saying he liked the scenes between Oliver and Kara which one does not equal the other imo.
