Of all the Arrow/Flash episodes that were a fun ride, this series seems like a non-stop party for the cast. I have never seen such insane chemistry between an entire cast before. Almost every line read they seem like they can barely keep it together. Ray getting called out on quoting Top Gun and his facial expressions were perfect. This must be Wentworth Miller's favorite role ever. He oozes such smugness and confidence I can't believe they have greenlit a Captain Cold pilot show. pentyne fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Feb 9, 2016 |

As much as I complained about the larger narrative stuff, I really like the way they're structuring the individual episodes with little C-plots between just 2 characters. It's a great opportunity to flesh out the relationship dynamics between the cast quickly - Stein/Ray, Sara/Kendra, etc. Reminds me a bit of what they did in the old Justice League cartoon. And like you said, they're actually building good chemistry between these people, too. Even Jackson the Natural Athlete.

And like you said, they're actually building good chemistry between these people, too. Even Jackson the Natural Athlete. Yes, it's great that this group really only operates as a team occasionally, and is mostly a collection of strong individuals each with their own motivations and morals often operating at cross purposes. And at any time, any one of them can say "You guys wait here Imma go try something" and zoom off (and then mess up the situation). And really, Rip Hunter is a time-travelling gently caress-up and a fugitive with a legitimate bounty hunter chasing him,. The Time Masters told him not to do what he's doing but he is trying anyway, even though he knows it's wrong. The essential time paradox Rip refuses to accept: If Savage is not around to kill Rip's family in 2166, Rip does not steal the Waverider, go back in time, assemble the team, and try to stop Savage. IOW to see the events that are taking place on this show, Rip cannot and does not stop Savage from rising to power and killing his wife and son. So now Rip has inculcated these people into helping him and rather than heroes, they're essentially all time criminals. Even though from their own point of view they're trying to save humanity. It's a great conflict within the show. And to conclude: I had no idea who Caity Lotz is other than actress on Arrow and LoT. Then I saw this.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACP7Gl8WkPk Binary Logic fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Feb 9, 2016 |

Unfortunately they don't really use any of that in these shows. She still does a lot of the same floppy women's wrestling style fighting that everyone else does. It's too bad she wasn't in that Arrow episode the stunt coordinator directed.

That episode that CTV leaked early is so dumb. Why does Ray not take his suit on an infiltration mission where he could have just gotten in by virtue of being tiny? Why is Victor Garber a total moron when the plot demands it? Why are we dealing with not one, not two, but three equally boring ~bloodlust~/~hawkrage~ storylines in the Arrowverse right now? Why can this team of like twenty seven people with superpowers, energy weapons, a timetraveling spaceship and magic bullshit not handle some dude with a rifle from the future? On the plus side: No appearance by Vandal Savage, Master of Knives, which is always a good thing. Captain Cold and Heat Wave continue to own. Ray is growing on me. I'm also seriously beginning to suspect Berlanti only made this show so he could put Caity Lotz and Arthur Darville in sexy outfits, which is A-OK with me. Also, as dumb as this show is, as lame as Vandal Savage and Cronos are, and as nonsensical as the whole WHERE DID VANDAL SAVAGE GO???  thing that happened 5 minutes after Rip murdered him is, this show is fun in a way that Flash and Arrow just aren't lately.

Basically because the team hosed with Savage in '75 and he survived, they can't kill him before then now because that would cause a paradox.

Rip's already tangled in Savage's timeline in his own present after his family was killed, kickstarting his whole revenge quest. If that's true, he can't stop Savage at all, as he'd have no reason to go on an illicit time rampage to begin with. In other words, they should go murder a baby.

Nah see what they'll do find out that he has something in a modern timeline that makes him unstoppable, and instead of dumbly headsmashing their way into it they travel back in time to prevent him from getting the thing in the first place. At least I hope so. I also so badly want there to be a western episode so that Jonah Hex can show up and be snark-bros with Snart  .

The more screen time Miller gets the more cold puns keep dropping. I want to think at least some of them are ad-libed. Also they didn't pull the "incapacitate Savage but leave him to recover instead of launching him into the sun" ending this time, so that's good.

Leonard Snart sounds like the name of a proctologist. It's a very goofy name. Like Vinny Plops or Chad Flubb.

I really liked Ray's line "I always wanted to be a spy!" as he played one on 'Chuck' where a character remarked that he "looked kind of like Superman." Additionally, if I'm not mistaken Chris Fedak was a producer on both shows.
