I don't want this season to end. I've never enjoyed a CW show as much as I have for this season of Legends.

Yeah there's one more episode and the other shows won't end until May, but I'm calling Legends S2 for MVP of the DCTV season. It really feels like the writers took a good hard look at what worked last season and what didn't, and fixed the most glaring issues and mistakes. The first half was just ok, but the back-half following Chicago Way has been nothing but sheer excellence each week.

I hope Season 3 is just as good, and I hope they keep some of the Legion of Doom around even after this. I think having three/four villains that most viewers are familiar with, and who are also just amazingly entertaining in their roles, helps a great deal.

On that note: highlight of the episode was the Nate and Damian almost high-fiving each other. That whole moment was perfection.

Damian killed Felicity and Barry? He's the greatest hero of all time.

Thawne owns and they really are stupid. "Let's go down fighting against a speedster :downs:"

e: I do like that the solution for destroying the spear was throw it into the sun. Or something 1000x as hot as the sun.

This was the show where they had to kill the bad guy at three separate points in time at the same time. Don't get too caught up in the temperature of their fake reactor.

That was the best episode of the series. I agree that Legends is the MVP of DCTV this year. I'm betting in the finale Black Flash is the hero that saves the day and defeats Thawne.

Lol at Trump being President in this episode's timeline.

At this point the finale next week could be the team fixing things in five minutes and then literally retiring to Aruba for the rest of the episode, as far as I'm concerned they've already stuck the landing for the season.

Rip Hunter, Drunken Cake Wizard filled a hole in my life that I didn't know existed until now.

Turns out the CW shows can actually be halfway decent when they're not just vehicles for terrible writing, terrible action and melodrama so bad it should be covered under the Geneva convention.

"Surprise, muthafucka."
Well, that was pretty loving great for this show.

-Legion Skull Headquarters! (Sorta.)
-The Time Idiots being even bigger idiots.
-Rip baked (at least) forty cakes. And that's terrible.
-Ray channeling Keanu Reeves.
-Rory repeatedly getting punched as proof the Ray-gun works.
-"Condiment game is on point!"
-Lol. Of course Mick liked Passion Of The Christ.
-"Bored now!"
-That Nate/Darkh almost-high-five.
-Wow. Someone finally actually got frozen by the Cold Gun.
-Mick: 1 Chair: -1000000
-Oh man that final reveal was good.
-Pretty much the only big complaint I have is the Felicity cameo seemed unnecessary and didn't add anything...well besides getting her neck snapped I guess.

That's how you do a penultimate episode. Hopefully, the finale brings the goods.

I love how the final reveal was set up. "Oh hey, Thawne has a teeny tiny model of the Waverider in his office... because he's rear end in a top hat" to "HOLY poo poo THAT IS THE WAVERIDER! :aaaaa:" 45 minutes later.

Well, in the preview they show Rip dramatically ordering to open fire and the Waverider looming over what initially could be mistaken as the WW1 battlefield... then immediately cuts to the still model sized Waverider shooting Darhk while he GIGGLES about how adorable it is.

That seems like a pretty good way to start trying to top it.

I maintain that the final arc of Season 1 (like from Leviathan onward) was where the show actually became really good. You had giant Ray vs a Pacific Rim doombot, Savage's hot daughter, Mick finally becomes a real hero, Time Master fuckery, Savage becoming a credible threat finally, the Hawks loving off forever, the start of the show's love affair with roasting Nazis, and the producers realizing that Vandal Savage sucked so hard they had to kill him three times in a row as an apology to the fans.

The difference is that while LoT, Flash and Arrow all poo poo the bed last year the LoT production team this year at least seem to have tried to to improve their very flawed show instead of doing heroin in a basement while jerking off to the dictionary definition of melodrama.

I will never, ever get tired of Thawne smugging it up.

Here's a question, though: Isn't reality better with Thawne in charge? I mean, he's fixed global warming and saved the planet.

He also killed Barry. But I repeat myself.

Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to know
I thought Thawne's thing was that he really wanted to get back to his future timeline. So much that he would just kill people to get closer to that goal. Now his fantasy is to run things like Elon Musk?

He could have done that... all of that... while he was Harrison Wells... including especially killing Barry.

No he just really wanted to kill Barry cause he's a super dick to him in the future. Thawne was always right.

Well I'd assume if Thawne introduces all that 23rd century technology now, then science progresses even more, meaning he has even more future tech to pull from if/when he does return home. His goal may have been to run back and forth between times whenever.

Also, why the gently caress is the black flash in a little cage instead of written out of existence?

Could argue that as an entity of the speed force it's difficult, it not impossible, to actually destroy it. Not that this really helps explain how you can will into existence a vault that can contain it indefinitely instead, of course. But hey. The real answer of course is:
