Yeah this show seems to be Luke Caging all the actually interesting bad guys. I'm not expecting a Flash style rogues gallery but drat.

It was definitely odd that they seemed to kill off 3 of its villains in one episode. But like I'm not prepared to call Toledo a truly big loss and Tobias' sister was kind of just a plot device to motivate Tobias so far. If you had told me she was a figment of his imagination I wouldn't have been shocked. But I'm definitely sad to see Lady Eve die so soon. Assuming she's dead. Which I'm not sure she is. But I'm sad thinking we've lost Jill Scott.

At some point (probably around next year's mass crossover) Black Lightning is totally going to join the Arrowverse and go full comic book and some people are gonna be real mad. Other people will just be shipping Sara Lance and Nyssa. edit: Anissa... obviously. Duh. Idiot screwing up his own joke. STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Mar 12, 2018 |

Let's be reasonable here: there's no way Legends of Tomorrow can end before Sara hooks up with someone from every Arrowverse show. She's already got Arrow, Supergirl, Constantine, and Legends itself under her belt. All she needs is someone from Flash, Black Lightning and Vixen and we've done it.

I am only on s2 of Legends but I would much rather see Amaya/Sara than Amaya/Nat. Amaya/Mick would be fun tho. Sara/Anissa would be cute but I really don't think I want BL in the Arrowverse.

Nate and Amaya start out a little rocky, but they get infinitely better once they go all-in and start playing what would be their crippling CW-style romantic drama purely for comedy.

Not just lightning guns, nuclear powered lightning guns! Lala is crazy as hell and it's amazing. I like that Jennifer discovers her powers and goes to get help right away. None of this keeping it a secret poo poo. howe_sam posted:Black Lightning is the best superhero mentor All the scenes with Jefferson and Anissa were great. Going to be even better when Jennifer joins them.

God loving drat I love this show. Most DC Shows: "oh no we have been framed, we will now spend 10 episodes struggling with the moral dilemmas and how we can no longer protect ourselves" Black Lightning: "Huh, the police are after us. Welp, back to training! *montage set to kung fu fighting*"

Loving Lala's condition. That ghost: she ain't' there to help. Coming back from the dead like going to hell for him. Also, everything about the Pierce family is so refreshing and the opposite of everything else in the Arrowverse. Training Anissa because they know she's going to go out and be a hero anyway is a much better response much faster then similar stuff with Wally on Flash. Keeping secrets causes problems has been the motto of Arrow since day one. This family talks and trusts and it is awesome. Jennifer going straight to Anissa was so real. Same with Anissa trying to solve her own issue by herself until she realized it was too much for her. Anissa clearly taking after her mom and Jennifer taking after he dad are so well done. I love this family.

What day do new episodes air domestically? I'm watching it on Netflix UK and caught up to it a few days ago but it puts new episodes up Tuesday if I recall and I'm pretty sure that's a couple of days behind so I want to know when to avoid the thread.

I'm surprised/very relieved that we finally get the Gambi reveal now instead of making it some season ending cliffhanger. Also I appreciate Tobias' guys burying people in a shallow grave but leaving the nuke-powered lightning gun just sitting in the open.

Given that BL is meant to be one season since they're extremely unsure of it getting a second when it was written, I feel like most of the mysteries introduced well get answered at some point in the course of the season while less pressing, overarching ones like the ASA are fodder for S2

My problem with Gambi is that it is really hard to know what he really feels about anything seeing as he has been shown lying to literally every character on the show.

I more or less buy his loose story to Jefferson since it's obvious he was protecting him (at least his identity) from Lady Eve and the rest. But like that's kind of secondary to the part where he was complicit in decades of secret experimentation on poor people as well as the perpetuation if the drug trade and organized crime. Gambis gonna have to work to walk that back with me. That's pretty drat bad and im going to feel a little uncomfortable if he's just welcomed back into the fold later because he's needed or forgiveness.

My take on what's going on: LaWanda's "ghost" is really the reincarnated force of Lady Eve... somehow. It's her backup plan and not just him going cray cray. Gambi gonna die. Either heroically or he'll morph into the show's villain, either dying here in Season 1 or playing a more active big bad role in Season 2.

BrianWilly posted:That's a strange thing to ask. Being embittered towards a character because of lovely things that they've done/are doing is kind of a sensible emotion, especially if the story doesn't crack down on them enough for those lovely things. More shows have been ruined by that kind of practice than not. Motherfucker didn't do anything. He was there, had a job, didn't like it and bailed, went full whistleblower and helped raise him into who he is. Sure he kept a secret, but WHo's Jefferson to stomp on someone keeping secrets. Besties in 2 weeks. Book it.
