Snart is totally Jeff. He plays it all cool but really down deep cares about the team. Rip would be Chang at best.

Rip is the Dean. He barges in and forces the team on crazy adventures for goals only he cares about.

Heatwave is Chang. Although Pierce also fits really well.

I think he seems sort of like Dr Claw, in that he has a new scheme every week, then when he's beaten it's all, "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME, GADGET!" I don't get the feeling that he's been shaping or shepherding historical events toward his ultimate goal or anything like that, which I think (though I could be wrong) is what they're aiming at. :shrug:

I admit I'm not explaining it very well - does anyone else get what I'm trying to say?

Yeah. We have no sense at all as to the shape or direction of his plans. If he's manipulating events to further his goals, he's doing it in a way that is invisible to the audience. As far as we can tell, he may as well be doing nothing. He's got loyal followers, but what do they do? He defected to the Soviet Union, but why? What did that get him?

Think of it as less 'what does it get him' and more 'what the idiot writers think the audience correlates with bad and evil things'. Stay tuned next week for when the gang travels back-forwards in time to the new North Korea! Oh poo poo! Vandal's been spotted being a pirate captain off the northern coast of Somalia! WHAT? He's dating Margaret Thatcher? I'm absolutely gobsmacked. Tally-ho, old beans and birds, let's van winkle the ol' chummershag and collyswag the bol-taggert!

Vandal Savage doesn't care about the protagonists, just about defeating the dozens of other Vandal Savages that have traveled back in time to ensure they conquer Earth.

I want them to go back to the age of Piracy and have the gang be pirates. Rory could say something like, "Ah, it's the pirates life for me!" And I suppose Savage could be Blackbeard.

Considering Alice Kingston is Sara's mom, I can't see why not just recreate that episode.

I was catching up with a friends Podcast, and his cohost was saying how much she was excited for Legends of tomorrow and the episode after its premier how dissapointed she was in it. Mostly because of the terrible Hawkman and how Vandal doesn't seem like a threat at all.

The problem is the team is overpowered as all hell compared to any villain they could've used instead of Savage. The only real threat of the show is the team's weekly incompetence.

They're really served well by being forced to split up, or being forced to combat a large number of threats at once. Go full time traveling Justice League and bring the other part of the Rogues Gallery into play on Savage's side.

Strangely enough liking this show, but then I usually do enjoy the new shows and their first seasons (except for Supergirl's first ep), before the inevitable slowdown. They're putting a lot of effort into what is going on and I rarely feel the need to skip over parts like I do with Arrow or the Flash.

Edit: Also how do you defect to the soviets if you were never a part of a western nations agencies or armies?

Television is weird. CBS has no new Supergirl episodes until March 14th, while Gotham only just returned from mid-season break this past Monday night.
