From my understanding, both Wentworth and Dominic (who plays Heatwave) will be going straight into shooting Prison Break after Legends of Tomorrow wraps up. So while there's no feasible way for them to be in the beginning of the season (or on Flash for that matter) there may be a chance later on since PB is only doing 10 episodes.

If legends is a 2017 mid year show like it is in 2016 they can still do both.

Yeah hopefully it keeps the smaller episode count, which I imagine is also based in budget needs.

I think sometimes there can be too much of a good thing, ie too much Snart. We haven't reached that point yet of course, but if he keeps working with the team he's inevitably going to get nicer and nicer, and we can't have him being that nice.

Remember when we were all "Can't get enough Barrowman!!!"

Also Loving v. Virginia wasn't decided until 1967, though Oregon had voluntarily repealed its anti-miscegenation law in 1951.

Yeah, they had to push it a little farther than was typically permitted just to let the characters be out and about (Ray and Kendra's cover was very much not a good idea), but they dealt with consequences so it works in a broad way.

Apparently tonight's episode was directed by Joe Dante.

But a cursory look at Oregon's history of racial segregation shows that it should have been much worse. :stare:

Season two will be terrible without Snart since he's doing another show. He's the only thing worth watching on this one.

Nah, Caity Lotz is great too.

But yeah, Wentworth Miller is the best part of this show and of Flash when he shows up there.

I would much rather have Snart go back to being a recurring villain on The Flash than stay on for LoT season 2. He can get replaced by Matt Ryan's Constantine.

Well that's not gonna happen. The producers said they were given permission to use him with the understanding it was a one time deal.

My only hope is that this will change, as NBC clearly as no plans to renew Constantine in the near future. They're already moving on to a sitcom office-style show set in the DC Universe.

I figured they left Mick's exit a bit vague to bring him back, but now I don't know whats going on with him and if he is going to return with rumors of a new team for next season. If he's not Chronos, I'm going to really disappointed.

I think it'd be interesting if that was the route it took. Snart froze Mick with his gun, then the Time Masters find him in the future, unfreeze him, and make him into their loyal bounty hunter with the promise of revenge.

My money is on Snart running a long con and managed to talk sense into Mick by finally explaining it.

I can't imagine they'd kill Mick offscreen without setting something up later. This is CW, they want maximum drama at all times and would've agonized over Cold's decision all episode until he collapses weeping over Mickcicle.

Mark my words, this is going to be the greatest heist in history. Literally.

Remember in the last episode when Rip shot a guy point-blank with his little laser pistol, and it not only didn't kill him, it just knocked him down and he immediately got back up and shot Rip?

In fact, we haven't seen a gun actually kill somebody in a long time. They've all been set to knock-down mode.

They can't kill anyone but Savage or damage the timeline, so they've all been coached to be non lethal. Unfortunately that also means they can't kill Savage.

They actually all died in the first episode, and the reason they're so ineffectual is that they can't influence the outside world anymore.

Chronos confronts them in the last episode and removes his helmet to reveal that he is played by Terry O'Quinn and says, "We're still on the island, Jack!"

Then Rip Hunter wakes up and he was Matthew Fox all along.

Reality itself is threatened when the Atom realizes that the plot makes no sense, leading the characters to a self-awareness of their fictional status that could unmake the world.
