I don't get the praise for this episode either. It is overcrowded with actors barely catching up with each other, script seeming a bit rushed...

And there was also something LARGELY wrong with the editing. Usually if there if one scene cuts to another, there is some kind of neutral shot or at least a second of silence. It might seem overly simple, but it works rather well and just comparing editing of "Harry and the Harrisons" with the "Trinity" gives us a weird thing: for some reason the latter largely omits the usual flow, which creates jarring, awkward jumpcuts from dialogue to dialogue. I'm not blaming the editor, because it might have been a larger problem: they might have cut some of the transitions in order to have all the character bits there as a decision by producers, director etc. Why they needed that much character bits, though, beats me, because they were, at times, off-character or not particularly relevant.

Also the fact that both "The Flash" and "Supergirl" used phrase "I got this" this week heavily reminded me of that and I now can't escape the association.
