I should really catch up on batwoman I haven't watched a single episode of s3

Honestly, I've watched every episode of Batwoman and have been one of its most ardent defenders on here, and even I've abandoned it now. The way they handled the midseason finale genuinely killed any interest I have in the show.

Legends, on the other hand, came back with an incredible episode. This show still rules.

It was funny how Behrad and Spooner had exactly the same personality.

God, I loved this. When I read the press release for the episode -- which is written with the assumption that we're following the regular Legends crew -- I was worried that this episode would start to reverse the season's thesis on time travel stories, but it didn't, it actually just owned. Impressed they managed to completely hide what this episode was doing until it aired, just a great, great idea for an episode.

My favourite performances were from Behrad and Spooner, something I didn't think I'd ever say. Their whole testosterone poisoning thing was loving amazing, loved it. Wish we'd seen Adam Tsekhman in the episode though, I think he'd have been amazing.

Really wish evil Nate and used his super yoked arms to just throw a dude straight up into the atmosphere. That ending tag owned.

I was getting a huge 90's Power Rangers vibe, particularly from Astra's amazingly stupid evil hair.

Heh, actually, thinking about the ending tag, yeah, this entire episode did seem to be a bit homage to lovely 90's television. Nice.

I thought Tala Ash played this part really, really well -- she's the only one in the cast who's not doing a ridiculous evil voice, she's actually just underplaying everything. It's a pretty clever choice.

So according to Nick Zano's insta those fake arms are actually modeled to be the same size as Cena's.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Did anyone keep track of how many times they said robo-Zari had to "hack" into something? One of the funnier recurring gags to me, every time she did a basic computer task someone would say "nice hacking!"

Nate's giant arms were hilarious and disturbing, just like this episode!

It's a game of name that reality show and god I wish that some of those shows still didn't exist.

Also, of course Zari's family would be on a reality show.

Edit: Lmao, that ending. Also, the next episode looks like a fantastic set-up

My only complaint would be the thing with Behrad getting sober. I hate when shows turn a comical drug use into a serious matter. Like fine, if he wants to quit, that's fine, but don't have the weed gummies show up like John's flask last season/like they're some devil in a bottle.

"...thy *bleeep* come..." was a particularly inspired bit of censorship.

This half season so far is fantastic.

Pumping Nate in his Wifebeater gave me major Jack Burton vibes, which is even better than John Cena arms. He is killing it at the moment.

I bounced HARD off this episode. I dunno, the gimmick after last episode is too honey, the tone swerve too wild.
Also I have decided I do not like Gary/Gideon.

I liked how everyone's style just became more and more exaggerated over the course of the episode, like with Gary's hair.

Gary is poo poo. He's actually slightly less poo poo since becoming an alien, but still the worst part of the show.

Gary's great. :colbert:

Though I do think making him one of the lead subplots in an episode about lowest common denominator humour was just asking for these kinds of reactions.

If you're looking for a weak member of the cast -- and it pains me to say it -- Behrad is the one I'd be pointing the finger at. I think the actor noticeable struggled with some of his line readings this ep.

(Also Mona's Jane Austen episode is one of the best the show ever did. Fight me.)
