The Flash vs. Arrow CrossoverCW

Tonight on TV, The Flash brought us the first half of our new favorite crossover ever, Bravo premiered its first – and amazing – scripted show, and things are not going well on Agents of SHIELD or Chicago Fire. All that and more in our Rants and Raves!

RAVE: The Flash: Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, and a joyous 4th of July to all of us Flash and Arrow fans, right? That was just way too much fun, and it's not even over yet! Wasn't Diggle hilarious? Aren't you excited for Firestorm? Wasn't that Flash vs. Arrow fight basically the coolest thing you've ever seen? We can't stop smiling. We're obsessed. We may need some help.

RAVE: The Flash: Iris fangirling over Oliver Queen is us, fangirling over this crossover. This crossover is on our list, too.

RAVE: The Flash: How old is Ollie's secret kid that we almost totally forgot about until now? 7? How old do you have to be to have a phone conversation with your mom about hot chocolate? We can't wait for more of this storyline! 

RANT: The Flash: We just want Iris to find out Barry's secret. It is time. 

NBC

RAVE: Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce: Bravo's first scripted show is even better than we could have possibly imagined, and we are so on board. Housewives this is not, but it's got all the drama, intrigue, and terrific nastiness that we've come to expect from our favorite Bravo shows. We're so happy to have Lisa Edelstein back on our TV, and we're not complaining about fellow stars Janeane Garofalo and Paul Adelstein either.

RANT: Agents of SHIELD: Ward's got Raina and Skye, Mac's been possessed by alien technology and sealed up in a pit, and Agent 33 is giving orders to shoot down the Bus. We need next week's fall finale right now.  

RAVE: Agents of SHIELD: Make Adrianne Palicki a series regular please, before we have to come over there and do it ourselves. (This is a completely empty threat due to the fact that we know neither where nor how to do this, but the sentiment is real.) We also wouldn't say no to more Patton Oswalt, whose triplet/robot/clone character(s) are always a pleasure.

RANT: Chicago Fire: Things are not looking good for Casey and Dawson after Casey's wild night out, or Chief Boden's baby, who went into respiratory failure just after being born. And we have to wait to see if things get better! Fall finales can be so cruel.

RAVE: Selfie: We wish you weren't canceled, but the fact that there is still more of you on Hulu every week (for now) gives us life.

FOX

RAVE: New Girl: Oh how we have missed Nadia. While Jess and Cece pummeled each other at Nadia's baby shower, which inspired all the other women to also start pulling hair and punches, she stomped around on top of her presents shouting "Baby shower! Baby shower!" OK, it doesn't sound hilarious, but trust us – it was. Side note: Please please please let us get a glimpse of what that woman is like as a parent.

RAVE: New Girl: Winston (failing at) studying for the police exam is us (failing at) doing literally anything. Too. Real.

RANT: The Voice: Well, guess Pharrell won't be winning this season after all. Both of his final two contestants, Luke Wade and DaNica Shirey, were eliminated tonight, leaving the final five to consist of all guys: Matt McAndrew, Taylor John Williams, Damien, Craig Wayne Boyd, and Chris Jamison. Lame!

RANT: The Mindy Project: While we thoroughly enjoyed the episode, we predicted pretty much everything that happened. Peter needs a place to live? Oh look, Danny's got an extra apartment. Danny strips down and hops into the shower with who he thinks is Mindy? Obviously, it's Peter. Mindy hears that Danny wants to knock down the wall between his two apartments for "family?" Obviously, by "family," he means his mother. The baby's finally asleep? Morgan's obviously going to make a lot of noise and wake him right back up again. We love ya, Mindy, but you can at least be a little unexpected sometimes.  

RAVE: The Mindy Project: We will take Dr. Jeremy Reed disheveled after a night of babysitting any day of the week.

What did you watch tonight? Rant and rave with us in the comments!
