The Time Lesbian Strikes Again! :j:

The best part is Thawne fuckin' around with history:

Thawne: "BARRY YOU CAN'T JUST CHANGE TIME YOU'RE BAD AT IT"
Barry: "Fine kill my mom w/e"

*runs back through the time stream immediately afterwards*

Thawne: "hey Dahrk look what I did, I got the Nazis to bomb New York! Pretty rad huh"


He's just such a smug amoral dick. :allears:

They really did score a casting coup with Matt Letscher in that he's able to protray Thawne as the exact same kind of smug rear end in a top hat that Tom Cavanagh did in Season 1 Flash to the point where you really feel like it's the same person :allears:

To be fair, the show has ditched some of the worst parts of the first season.
Things are definitely looking up.

Basically don't get overly attached to anyone who isn't Brandon Routh and/or Victor Garber.
Pity Stein is the worst remaining character by a long way.

I really enjoyed that and two of the best villains the CW-verse has had being on one show is also great. I'd be super happy if the show was just "Thawne and Darhk gently caress up time" with our sorry looking lot of hopefuls here chasing after them and fixing it.

Literally "Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego".
That would be great.

Doktor Per posted:

I want more plots like when Otto Octavius was kissing on Aunt May.
For a moment there I read that as Mole Man (because that's a thing that happened in newspaper Spider-Man) and it made me realise how great it would be if this show was like newspaper Spider-Man.

Victor Garber has the most star power of the bunch outside of Routh. So Stein is probably gonna be around until Garber decides he's done with the show barring the writers coming to a natural stopping point for Stein's role on the show on their own.

Timeline was already altered because of laser gun battles and Time Lesbian shenanigans, it's not like the DC universe adheres to our history that rigorously anyway.

Time Lesbian Shenanigans is the name of my new band. They're on Tour with Bear-Shark Alliance and HoMunkCulus

It actually made up for the JSA missing certain members. The completely incorrect history kind of reminded me of old genre shows with time travel where they'd go to a point in time and not get a single detail right or act like some myth was true, because hey why not act like King Arthur was real?

When they said, paraphrasing here, "We need Albert Einstein or else they'll get nukes!" I shouted at my TV, "NO THATS DUMB DUDE WIKI IT JESUS CHRIST LET THEM TAKE ALBERT EINSTEIN, gently caress LET THEM TAKE ALL THE EINSTEINS THEY WONT GET NUKES THAT WAY."

It's... such an easily verifiable fact and Oppenheimer is a name that begs to be used in a comic-book context.

Stein punching out Oppenheimer wouldn't have had the same zip in the promo material though. Still, it was some egregious pop history.

Pillowfights with Dominican mothers.
I was actually more miffed about their speaking modern English in 823 England. I got over it pretty fast when Jackson and Stein were dressed like wizards cuz that was pretty funny. As soon as something dumb happens, I remember what I'm watching and just chuckle at it. This season's gonna be so great.

The writers have seemed to given up on the concept that the Legends should be seen as anything but massive fuckups by anyone except themselves, so that's an overall plus.

Punching a nazi rather than doing the salute to fake them out is always the right answer. You did good for once, Ray.

Sara is the best, always has been. I don't know much about these new people and I've never read comics before. Who are all these people? I don't really know what to look up and the Justice Leagues and Societies have usually gone through like 20 lineups over time.
