This was a great episode, but I need to address something. For everyone complaining about "the politics", grow the hell up. This isn't a kid's show. They are going to tackle real issues, and if you're not mature enough to deal with that, then you shouldn't be watching this. If politics was genuinely the issue, you should have had the same reaction to the the Flag Smashers wanting a world without borders and the refugee crisis.

This is a great episode, probably the best in the back half. The episode had 2 main storylines, and both were good.
The minor one involved Ralph and Cisco investigating Sue. It was a decent storyline at first, but then we got a scene of Ralph and Sue which furthered their relationship. I'm excited to see where this goes.
The major storyline drastically furthered the Carver storyline. It saw Ragdoll being hired to kill Joe. In the background, Carver was worried about what Joe's investigation could mean for Black Hole.
About Ragdoll, he was a good villain. I just want to say that this episode made up for his mediocre use in season 5. The no-speed fight was good. The scenes after Joe took Cecile's place on the pressure bomb were actually very intense, and I genuinely did not know what would happen then.
The arguments between Barry and Joe were great as well. We really haven't gotten any scenes between them like this since the 4th episode of this season.
Then we get to the best part, the ending. We had 3 cliffhangers. The most shocking one, in my opinion, was the reveal that Singh is working with Eva. I'm assuming that this is the Mirror Singh. I'm very excited to see where this goes, and it could be confirmation that Patrick Sabongui will be returning more this season. The next cliffhanger showed the complicated relationship between Carver and Eva. It wasn't that exciting, but it definitely contributed to plot development.
Now, the end credits scene. An argument between Barry and Iris. I felt like the show had been lacking these. Gustin and Patton are both great actors, and their abilities really shine in scenes like this. Mirror Iris is trying to get Barry to use his speed, and does this by trying to convince Barry to search the city for Joe. When Barry refuses, she kicks him out. This is a really creative way to set up Barry realizing the truth about her.
In conclusion, this is a really great episode that really furthered the plot if the season, and brought back old characters and used them well. I'll give it a 9/10.

I'm not necessarily writing this as a review of the episode, but as you can see by my rating, this was a great episode. I'm writing this to inform everyone who doesn't understand the concept of a crossover or whoever doesn't understand what a 100th epsiode is. For everybody complaining that they don't want to watch an entire other series, you don't. All you have to do is watch the episodes of the other shows that are part of the crossover. And for the people who do watch other shows and are complaining about how this episode is too influenced by Arrow, this is their 100th episode. The writers did the best they could to incorporate a tribute to the show into a crossover. Try doing a quick Google search before making yourself look like an idiot.
A decent episode but kind of disappointing

This episode looked great judging by the trailer. It hyped up a lot for Crisis. Unfortunately, the payoff wasn't great.
Pros- -Ultraviolet was an okay villain, and the storyline involving that "organization" looks promising -Barry finally took down a villain by himself -Development with the Central City Citizen -Jay Garrick appears -There were some good emotional moments with Barry and Joan -Gideon finally gets used -Barry sees the future -Earth-3 scenes -Bloodwork's storyline
Cons- -Barry doesn't actually go to the future (This is excusable however, to avoid spoilers for the Crisis.) -The story with Killer Frost and her art was incredibly stupid and kind of ruined the episode -Kamilla isn't really a good character -Overall just very disappointing involving the Crisis stuff
Score: 7.7/10
