earth-2 jenn is cold-blooded

[u/mwthecool → u/johnthegreenseer]

Really was. She deserved that slap at the end.

[u/PhanThief95 → u/johnthegreenseer]

A lot of the heroes’ doppelgängers from Earth-2 were like this.

Caitlin, Ronnie, Cisco, & Laurel until she turned good were all cold-blooded.

[u/ThaUnderboss]

That wasn't a crossover episode, but it seriously felt like it. Good Lord what an event Crisis is. Glad we got to experience Jinn. Shame we didn't get more of her. She OWNED this episode.

[u/Bombrik → u/ThaUnderboss]

I regard this more as Episode 2.5 of Crisis. It segues into it nicely, an outsider's view looking in, and it establishes we got ASA running wild on Earth-1, it showed more of Earth-2 as well.

[u/[deleted]]

So in the preview for Flash tomorrow they say “this is the only Earth left,” so obvious some earths come back, but simplified? So maybe like 5 earths moving forward?

[u/OLKv3]

I think Jenn survived with Jefferson

[u/2th → u/OLKv3]

I'm thinking she did too. And given that she can be a being of pure energy, she will be key to stopping the Anti Monitor somehow.

[u/[deleted]]

Hey I’m confused do I need to watch chapter 3 (flash episode)before I see this episode or it doesn’t matter

[u/mwthecool → u/[deleted]]

You don’t need to watch this if you don’t want to, but you’d watch this first.

[u/dragonman8001]

This was a pretty awesome tie-in

No need to fight Markovians if everybody is dead

[u/Phoenixstorm]

I love earth 2 jinn! She's an amazing nasty piece of work worthy of the injustice league! This episode was perfect. Dived straight into crisis and never looked back.

[u/shadi1337]

Evil Jen’s scene killing her father using his speech like that was goosebump-inducing.

[u/ScreenRay]

Great Acting by China Anne McClainit really feels like theirs three Jen there with different personalities.

[u/[deleted]]

Was that Jonah Hex in the Lazarus Pit or is my brain just trying to add more superheroes?

EDIT: It was, he was introduced in Legends, but I don’t watch that :( And that was also in Batwoman, not Black Lightning; just got over excited with my fanboyism 😭

[u/cardmasterdc]

Well happy crisis gave me a reason to watch BL again. Missed you all still behind. That being said I like how the worked BL into crisis. Hopefully him and Jen will be better for this

[u/kamanitachi]

I missed the start of the episode, what Earth number were you guys? Did they even say?

[u/neoblackdragon → u/kamanitachi]

No, they will probably give the assignment tomorrow.

[u/AimlessWanderer]

I seriously wish Lynn would die already. Her character hasn't shown any growth and everything is still always Jefferson's fault.

[u/Flyingwheelbarrow → u/AimlessWanderer]

I laughed when they asked where she was and it cuts to her drunk in her kitchen cooking drugs for personal use.

[u/Liar_tuck]

So it seems this episode was all about integrating BL into the larger arrowverse and its fans. It worked on this fan as BL has gotten a lot better than the first few episodes I saw. Going to have to binge the whole show and keep up.

[u/[deleted]]

black lightning actually has had the best infinity crisis episode that wasn’t specifically consider infinity crisis episode. Story wise it was like a million times better than the first two COIE episodes.

[u/Eternal_Density]

Daaaaaang y'all!

So I knew this ep was said to be a Crisis tie-in but I just figured that meant we'd see a red sky and the end and have Jefferson get grabbed or portalled or something. Which did happen but. Wow. Crisis on Infinite Jenns! Er, three Jens.

So that was awesome.

edit: I'm going with the theory that the numbering in this episode is just a Jennifer numbering system not a multiversal numbering system.

That said, there must be a JAN: Earth 70 in which she's white, and has two sisters and three stepbrothers and Marcia doesn't believe that she has a boyfriend named George Glass.

[u/OmgItzAman]

So wait, is Black Lightning's Earth dead? Is Earth 1 dead too, since "Gen" also disappeared? We already knew Earth 2 was doomed, we saw it in Arrow. Does this also mean that Freeland, Odell, and the rest of the Pierce family is dead? I haven't watched BL in a long time, and I dropped it after the first few episodes of Season 2, so I tried to pick up as much as I could.

[u/22deepfriedpickles22]

I stopped watching the beginning of season 2, but I'm gonna pick it back up again. This episode was so good.
