- TriviaBarry quotes Leonard Snart's rules to making a plan: "Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan." He previously told Barry these in S3 episode 22 Infantino Street (2017).
- GoofsWhen Green Arrow, White Canary, Citizen Cold and Alex Danvers attack the Portal compound on Earth-X, while shooting, the drawstring for Oliver's bow disappears each time an arrow is fired. This is due to the CGI used.
- Quotes
Dark Arrow: Felicity Smoak. Turn the power back on.
Eobard Thawne: [grabs Felicity] He said... "Turn the power back on."
Felicity Smoak: Sorry, Eobard. Eobard?
Eobard Thawne: Eobard.
Felicity Smoak: Eobard. My God, the future sounds weird.
Eobard Thawne: That's funny. Sometimes we think we're more clever than we are. Because where I come from, the history books are filled with stories of this Age of Heroes: Green Arrow, Black Canary, The Flash. And yet no one... no one has ever heard of Felicity Smoak.
- Crazy creditsThe usual opening narration and title card are replaced by a special "Crisis on Earth-X" sequence.

Complementing that with the appearance of a Nazi version of Lance, a powerful General version of Winn Schott leading Earth-X's resistance, a good natured version of Captain Cold or Leo as he goes by, and a brand new character in Ray Terrill aka The Ray. In some ways, this was the messiest episode with most of our heroes imprisoned for the episode and the rest of the Legends still nowhere to be found. Even still, there was so much to be thrilled about.
Most of the conflict came from Winn's unwillingness to let the team leave and go through the breach area because he didn't want Nazi Kara and Nazi Oliver to return to Earth-X ever. Who blames him? I sure don't. However, the conflict never really got to a point where I felt the weight of the situation, and I figured it would come down to The Ray and Leo pulling some strings. This once again provided some heart to heart moments in a desperate time, including another great 1v1 with Sara and Alex. Does anyone else want a spin off show with these two?
The other big moment came from Stein's sacrifice. More on this particular situation in part 4's review, but it was a bold move having Stein do what he did for the team, and if I may say a worthy move. Before moving on to part 4, it's worth mentioning just how awesome it was to hear Reverse Flash fought Superman in the future, that's how you plant an easter egg.
