All the NPCs will look up and shout, "Do this quest!"
and I'll whisper, "Sure, why not."
Can we change the thread title to something like "watching because this show finally got better"?

Because this season has been knocking it out of the park since episode 1. God, it's refreshing having a good villain again, and now all three of them are gonna be in the same season finale!

Based on Season 4 it was an appropriate thread title. There's no point in changing it just because the season has genuinely been good.

The Lord Bude posted:

This has been a great season. I think you could debate whether this season or season 2 is the better one, and both sides would have merit.
I just finished rewatching Season 2, I think it was better but this has still been great (and to be fair, we haven't seen the finale yet so it could get even better).

I dunno. Arrow got real bad around the time Felicity got up from her wheelchair and walked out on Ollie, LoT season 1 was... uneven at best, and Flash's current writing team are pants on head stupid.

Fun, yes. Good? Debatable.

The prometheus music cue is soooooooooooo stupid and destroys all tension in a scene when it starts up. It's the sound you expect to hear when a fairy godmother trips and falls down the stairs or something. It was bugging me all season but the helicopter escape scene broke the camels back. It's not cool or dangerous sounding, or hype building. What is it supposed to be? :psyduck: Who decided that??

I know it's dumb but I hope they find some way to keep Josh Segarra around. Like it turns out Vigilante is his twin brother.

You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.



I definitely get a kick out of how the LoT team ends up just chumping a lot of the better villains from Arrow and Flash. Super-fast and cunning speedster that tormented the Flash team for months? Whatever, I guess the history professor knocks him out by swinging a spear like a baseball bat. Master assassin with magic powers that took a half-season, three special guest stars, and a city-wide uprising for Ollie and the gang to defeat? Just have drunk-rear end Mick Rory hit him in the head with a fire extinguisher or whatever.

If you're talking about the alternate future episode after the legion used the spear, he specifically mentions 'getting his magic' as the first thing he did when they used the spear to change reality. That was the only time he had magic.

Well, the magic totem Darkh gets much of his power from is found by Oliver just a couple of years before Arrow starts, right? So the Darkh in Legends is from somewhere between leaving the League of Assassins and Oliver's five year journey.

Is it the same totem though? I was under the impression there were a few of those and Oliver happened to bury the one on Lian Yu. I don't remember the show either mentioning Darkh had that one specifically.

You could be right. Hell, you're probably right since I was a little uncertain of it as I was typing.

Still, the Legends S2 Darkh is clearly pulled somewhere between League of Assassins and H.I.V.E./magic.

The Darhk in legends is explicitly stated as being from the 1970s. That's where they took him back to at the end of the show.
