Sci-Fi This Week: The Flash Versus Arrow Crossover!
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy this week.
The DC universe on The CW is just about the coolest thing going on in sci-fi and fantasy fandom right now, and this week it’s going to get epic. The two popular comic book shows are going for an all-out crossover event, as Oliver and Team Arrow come to Central City on Tuesday and then Barry heads to Starling City on Wednesday. It’s Flash versus Arrow!
Also this week: Haven makes its fall finale on Syfy (it will be back next fall with the second half of Season Five), and TNT debuts a brand new show with The Librarians this Sunday night! Noah Wyle (Falling Skies) guest stars as Flynn Carsen, the original librarian, who now has a team led by Eve Baird (series lead Rebecca Romijn).
Scroll down to watch the trailer for The Librarians. It will be a double-episode premiere, starting at 8/7c.
