Seeing Callum Keith Rennie show up in anything is always a nice surprise. He played a vampire in Blade Trinity and Dominic Purcell played Dracula in the same. Snart and Sarah being friends is fun. also, YOU'VE FAILED YOUR WIFE AND SON That ending

Is there some dumb reason why they couldn't just go to 2165 and get his wife and kid?

Well, if I were a good writer, I'd say because if he saves them, he is never pushed into his crusade against Savage, so Savage never learns about Rip Hunter or his family, so he never seeks them out and kills them, so Rip is never pushed into his crusade against Savage... Of course, the real answer to your question probably lies here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF7cO4t0o9c

Why cant you just go back in 5 minute increments and kidnap your wife and son each time. Then you'll have all the wife and son you'll ever need!

BrianWilly posted:Y'know, I'd forgotten that Ray Palmer and Carter Hall were actually very close friends in the comics. They were the original Science Bros. Ray used to hang out on Carter's shoulder a lot in the Silver Age JLA comics. Ray also used to have his own tiny floating chair at JLA meetings. It would make my week if they even got a previous Carter Hall back just for one episode so Ray could stand on his shoulder while Atom size.

Sucks about Mick. But it was fun watching Ray just clown people because power armor servos are much stronger than muscle.Xelkelvos posted:All very important questions. I think you kinda answered your own question here.

God drat, Rip was a complete rear end in a top hat to Mick there. And now he's... frozen until Snart gets him back? Let's hope he's only gone for one episode or something.  Really liked the way Mick fought against Sara. Just pure brute strength.

As boring as 'Rip Hunter: Wonder Years' was, we did get to learn the origins of his incredibly stupid name. Does time-mastering begin in kindergaarten and once you choose a name, that's that?

I thought that was pretty well done, too, but I didn't like that Sara couldn't handle him without Snart coming to save her. He's a big tough guy, but she's a master assassin with tons of martial arts training. Show him overpower her a few times, sure, but she should get the best of any exchange that isn't Mick firing his flamethrower at her from across the room.

1. The very start of the episode they mentioned you can't set stuff on fire on space ships, which is why they didn't go Firestorm. Even if you don't throw fireballs and risk hull breaching, your passive fire aura is going to burn up the precious precious oxygen. 2. I don't think Gideon has sensors in the shuttle. Its on the ship, it can just remotely talk to the shuttle and take over navigation if needed. Also, I like how all the AI in the future have G names. Gideon. Gary. Gilbert. 3. At the very end of the scene where Ray was passing out in space you see he activated his thrusters and basically launched himself on a trajectory towards the cargo bay, which Gideon was verbally ordered to open for him. 4. Hoping Mick is not dead. 5. The fact that a the show name dropped Vash alone makes it a win.

The same person who did the dumb "I'm better than you in every way but I'm resigning because I love you!" plot dialogue. Like, we got the worst of the two and that just makes me hate Rip more than I already did. Oh well, can't wait to learn how right Rip was all along because the Time Masters are EEVVVIIILLLLLLLLL! or something.

It also makes Rip's backstory make no sense. He didn't become a Time Master after his wife was killed. They left the Time Masters together and chose to live in the Vandal Savage Kills Everyone era.

Also, I like how all the AI in the future have G names. Gideon. Gary. Gilbert. They may not have thought things out this far, but this is also interesting because it shows Gideon isn't every AI, but a specific one - which raises further questions about why Eobard Thawne would have it. Hope he keeps coming back!

Yeah, I'm still not sure how Eobard Thawne ended up in the possession of Gideon... My guess is the two shows simply wanted to use the same voice actor and they're gonna leave it unexplained. My hope, on the other hand, is that they will journey to the 25th century at some point, but will have to leave Gideon behind for some reason, and it will end up in Thawne's hands.

I am presuming here, but I guess Gideon is an AI you can copy and install like any other software and over the years it just gets updated like Cortana or something.

It's like a Garmin GPS where you buy the main brain unit then spend like $59.99 on a Darth Vader or Arnold sound pack but it's the future so it also gives the brain a emotional disposition. 'Your Lefts. Turn zem for me.'

Rip is supposed to come off as Stressed Captain Who Makes Tough Choices, but the show has no awareness that he's completely incompetent. And for the record, the whole Mick turning on the team thing riffed (quite succesfully) on the many betrayals of Jayne Cobb.

Yeah. He stayed in the Time Masters and they had an illicit marriage. She quit so he would be able to stay, and Rip only bailed on/got kicked from the Masters after his petition to reverse-murder Savage failed.
