There has not been a single case report or published journal article about "gerbiling". Its all urban rumours.

Watching the latest Jenny Nicholson video and I never realized that Rose McIver was the star of those Christmas Prince movies. I would have thought the CW paid their stars enough that they wouldn't have to slum it like that.

Been watching lots of shows about loner people living in Alaska. And now we're watching a show about guys spending all of their money and time chasing a rumour about hidden pirate treasure in Nova Scotia.

I remember hearing that rumor about Gere back in the 80’s. There was the same rumor about our local weatherman, Mark Reynolds, when I lived in Johnson City. There was always someone who swore they had a ‘relative like an aunt or uncle’ that knew someone who has on duty the night he came in with a gerbil stuck in his rear end. Funny you could never find someone with a first or even a second hand account of it.

It has its Ancient Aliens moments with some of the non-regular team "specialists" working on the legend but the actual hard science (scanning electron microscopes, laser ablasion, seismic surveys etc) is pretty loving cool. This season they're really going for broke with a literal steel slat wall to hold back the water. No episode tonight but next week is gonna be 2 hours woooooo Mari Vineyards!

More power to crazy people following their dreams I guess.

Convince me this isn't the case. It's just melodramatic misery porn like This Is Us or Parenthood so, no. Also James Roday plays a breast cancer survivor. Luckily I turned my parents on to Killing Eve so we're watching that now. Of course like all parents they can’t understand accents or deal with subtitles so I'm having to explain a lot.

I’ve heard good (read: batshit insane) things about Legends of Tomorrow, so I decided to jump in despite having no knowledge or interest in the CW DC universe. It seems kinda terrible so far, but I’ve read that it doesn’t get good until season 2. Can I just skip to season 2, or will I be completely lost? Is there some summary video I can watch? Should I even do this?

The highlights probably get repeated in the start of the second season, but just in case the main takeaway is "we gotta be time cops now because everyone else who could is dead and a ship full of losers is better than nobody." S1 has some good bits but really suffers for not finding its groove yet (every show tends to have these issues, Legends just had em REALLY bad). Once they learn they can throw anything at the script and roll with it, everyone starts getting more relaxed and fun.

Legends of Tomorrow S1 is the worst of the Arrowverse and pretty much universally agreed upon as bad. Its got a too heavy villain in Savage, some unlikable leads in the Hawks, and it just takes itself too seriously. The reason so many people love Legends because in S2 it just stops taking itself seriously and acknowledges all that poo poo. There's a ton of character turnover each season so they expel the parts that aren't working and they just kind of embrace every bad and stupid thing about them. You COULD skip S1 if you really want. Someone could download a recap*, but it would be convoluted. Really I think the problem with that is that you'd be skipping a ton of character development and interpersonal stuff that actually matters. And really, you'd be skipping the entire reason WHY people like Legends so much. That it course corrected and decided to start taking a poo poo out of itself to fix things. You might still enjoy the humor and absurdity of the subsequent seasons but you wouldn't really "get" the "payoff." Legends also kind of exists as part of the Arrowverse proper so while you can watch it on its own you'll get characters and stories that jump over that could get confusing. And again, part of Legends' charm is them taking a piss out of the other shows and Arrowverse in general. *Ok, let me try a S1 recap if you're determined to go that way. Hawkman sucks rear end and dies early. Hawkgirl and Ray fall in love and live together trapped in the past for awhile or something, but then Hawkman is reborn and there's drama and eventually the Hawks die killing Savage or kill Savage and leave or I dunno. The Hawks leave and that entire meta plot is buried six feet deep never to be heard from again. Snart gradually finds a heroic streak in him and bonds with Sara who is struggling with her past as a killer (and they make out a little). But Mick doesn't grow at all and betrays the Legends. Snart ends up ditching him somewhere in time to protect the Legends but he's picked up by the Time Masters to be their wetworks goon who is chasing the Legends (which isn't revealed for awhile). Eventually they catch Mick, deprogram him, and he works with them again for whatever reason. The Time Masters turn out to be bad guys for some reason or another who were helping Savage gently caress with time for some reason or another. Snart heroically sacrifices himself to destroy them and save the Legends, but Rip doesn't get to save his family. With the Time Masters, Savage, Hawks, and Snart gone the remaining Legends resign themselves to become the new Time Cops, Mick decides to honor Snart's memory and stick around, and the bunch are confronted at the end of the season by Hourman who says that the Justice Society of America needs their help. And Martin and Jax do some bonding and there's some family stuff but I can't remember if the big part happened in S1 or S2. Double secret spoilers... Basically I think Jax wants to save his dad but Martin convinces him not to gently caress with the Timeline, Jax gets some closure with his dad anyway, but Martin fucks with the timeline with his wife and ends up with a grown daughter. See? There's a lot and its confusing. Unrelated (although it doesn't feel totally so), I'm finally giving Westworld S2 a go and its really kind of a mess, huh?

The most important thing from season 1 is when they learn the real reason they were chosen to be legends Because they were the heroes who did nothing and helped nobody and it didnt matter that they were taken from their original timelines. They're the biggest losers in history. That's when they start to become the Time Idiots and the show becomes good bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Dec 27, 2018 |

Oh yeah, that's important. Basically Rip admits he only picked them because they were utterly insignificant to the timeline so no one would miss them if they died. Which now that I think about it actually seems to clash with the whole Hawks thing.

Is legends of tomorrow the show where there was an episode where there’s a demon voiced by John Noble, and they time travel to a set John Noble is filming on so they can use his voice for some kind of demon stuff? Or is that something else? Or have I just had one too many concussions and now my brain is making poo poo up?

I'd say the Jonah Hex episode (S1E11) is worth watching, as are the last 2 episodes of the season (15&16). IIRC the Jonah Hex one was sort of the first time they start leaning into the "Time Idiots" self-awareness.
