The team must go back and prevent Vandal Savage from founding Facebook. Leonard Snart and Mark Zuckerberg make fun of each other's names. Kendra and Ray change their relationship status to "it's complicated."

White people naming their kids extra retarded nonsense words in the future fits with the Lakyyyn style names popular now.

I hope next season isn't time travel and the current writers figure out how to write a villain that's actually threatening and a hero team that's actually competent in using their abilities to solve problems

To be fair, Wells, Caitlin, and Cisco are pretty competent. It's just that they are the team for one of the dumbest heroes ever who doesn't even listen to them most the time.

The team is perfect the way it is (except for Hawkgirl), but they do need some better villains in there.

Okay, that's fair. Still, it's the overall competency of the team as a whole that counts. :colbert:

Also the really depressing thing about this show is that, for all of FactsAreUseless' jokes, the writers have horribly squandered the time travel premise. There's a villain who's been around since ancient egypt and has had evil plots around the world throughout history and all they've really done with it is 20th century and a future episode that basically looks just like the 20th century except for some CGI robots. I mean, even Star Trek could scrounge up some period costumes for bottle episodes and holodeck plots or whatever on a fraction of this show's budget, it can't be that loving hard. But the writers just don't care.

He's probably like Wolverine, his hair resets to the point it was at when his powers activated.

No, it's not. There's no long con involved at all. The birdpeople monsters, selling or buying the nuke, none of that had anything to do with his eventual rise to power. He just keeps randomly trying poo poo and failing completely on his own. He's a perpetual gently caress up who kept loving up for thousands of years, until he got lucky at the Degaton tutoring gig.

I think you should watch the first episode again where Rip clearly explains how Vandal works.

They should convert this show to improv. Give the actors a setting (e.g. 1500s England) and let them loose. See what comes out.

(Would probably be better than what we have now.)

TV Savage is aware that he is immortal but is he aware that he is unkillable? They really need to show him getting nuked or something and shrugging it off.

The show has already demonstrated his one true weakness. Being shoved out of windows.

It is 1538 and our plucky gang have arrived in England where Vandal Savage is behind Henry VIII and the dissolution of the monasteries. Their appearance reignites the faith, and Henry never manages to secede from Rome and create the Church of England. Ray leaves a digital watch behind, forming the Handless Order of the Minutes and Seconds.

The year is 1921. The place is Teapot Dome, Wyoming. The team must uncover the depths of Harding's corruption - and Vandal Savage's connection to the administration. Stein makes a strong case for America's isolationist policies. Kendra takes a nap under a tree.

In the Early 1990s Vandal Savage is almost finished raising one of those plants that takes thirty years to bloom and then dies, Ray must protect a young boy named Dennis who becomes a target after ruining Mr. Savage's blooming party. Rip is tricked into running a day camp by a drifter, and Snart must help a young gang of kids recover a valuable baseball from a junkyard dog.

They actually let him keep it.
I think the best episode would be for the team to accidentally go to a time so far in the future, all of humanity is dead except Savage. Savage is super excited for company and invites the group to a lavish dinner. So basically just like that Justice League episode. For the rest of the series, no one is really into trying to kill Savage, since he once cooked them a decadent paella.

Turns out Savage created the Time Masters to stop himself after this very thing happened and Rip hosed up his perfect plans.
