Now don't get me wrong, a part of me is rooting for this Pilgrim lady for basically doing God's work but how are her cray-rear end methods not loving up the timeline too?

I should just stop thinking

The Time Master probably just think the interruption caused by the Pilgrim is less than what the Team would do if left unchecked. They are right.

Especially since Rip recruited them BECAUSE they themselves were to have negligent impact on history.

This is the episode that is taking the shark jumping over it backing up, kicking it in the face, taking a massive dump on it and then proceeds to go forward. I just can't look away from this trainwreck, I need help.

That was the best part of the episode for me. It was such an awesomely brutal move, and so completely against his character, that I just could not stop laughing for a bit. More of that, please, sensibility be damned.

I forgot this happened until I started reading these posts. lmao why the hell did he do that???

This is one of my faves, because it reminds me of those crazy catdrugs episodes of Hercules where Kevin Sorbo, 90s actor, was actually Hercules and the Greek Gods would gently caress with him while he was prepping his lines for Hercules TV or trying to find parking in LA.

Uh...what?? Is this real?

I think they ended up doing some fun stuff with the dumb premise. Li'l Hunter shivving someone was a good thing.

If the overarching plot wasn't about killing Vandal Savage and all relatively terrible, this would've been a somewhat dumb episode that was a little too all over the place. Instead, it's still the latter bit, but not all that terrible in comparison.

And yeah, I did not expect Kid Hunter to shiv the Pilgrim and that was a really clever ploy as she was in the middle of monologuing.

Oh yeah I'm always gonna be snarky about the wanky dumb time travel plot-holes, but like 90% of this episode was mega entertaining. All these interactions with their past selves was incredible and should happen more often. Even Jax got something worthwhile to do which is a minor miracle onto itself.

Time travel is dumb and we need to accept that. By extension time travelers are dumb, as evidenced by Mick being the most responsible and educated one of the group.

Once you can get over that hump, this show becomes a whole lot of fun. :)

I watched this episode because I heard it was directed by Rachel Talalay (Tank Girl, Doctor Who). Other than a minor obsession with one-shot takes, and somehow grabbing on to Celia Imrie, I didn't think it was too showy, but I was impressed with the construction of several of the sequences. The climax, where the camera travels through / past the entire cast so that we think we've seen the entire room, only to reveal young Rip Hunter, was actually pretty clever and stylish.

Show's pretty... eh... though.

This show is embarrassing enough because of its plot failures, but what was extra embarrassing this week was the fact that they were so transparent in the fact that they couldn't procure the actress who played Stein's wife on Flash or the actress who played Lisa on Flash to even get them to make a a cameo appearance and had to work around it in a completely awkward fashion with some "shooting a stand-in from the back" and "Oh, she's in the other room, you just missed her" shenanigans.

The only two female main characters gossip about getting engaged to a man, then spend the very next scene cooing over a baby. Has this show actually managed to pass the Bechdel test at any point?

I mean just off the very top of my head there was Sara helping Kendra with her bloodlust. I'm pretty confident there was also dialogue between Sara and her '50s nurse that didn't revolve around the male doctors, but I might be wrong.

Pretty sure Sarah and 1950s nurse had a conversation entirely based on wanting to bang each other without coming right out and saying it.

Does that count? :v:

All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Look, I just want them to stop spending every scene with Hawk Girl focusing on her love life and more time getting her her trademark mace and smacking fools with it.

Is that too much to ask? She has other things in her life besides being an ex-barista and having a lover, right? Right?

A fledgling vampire? How about a dragon, or some half-kobold druids? Perhaps a spontaneous sex change? Anything that can happen, will happen the results will be beyond entertaining.

She's also always looking for a magical dagger... and she regularly gets creeped on by Vandal Savage...
