At least she added some fun humor this episode but they really have no idea what to do with Spooner this season.

Spooner, Gary and Behrad have overstayed their welcome.

Open Source Idiom posted: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. Burning_Monk posted:At least she added some fun humor this episode but they really have no idea what to do with Spooner this season. TBH, this show is basically coasting on momentum now. Replacing the original cast with new characters who just sort of show up and tag along isn't working and I don't know why anyone thought it would. The only characters left from season two (the first good one) are Sara, Nate, and (technically) Gideon. And the rest of the current cast are LoT originals, not from other Arrowverse shows. And that was one of the main draws of the show, originally; you got to see characters you already liked from the other shows get more central roles. You'd think some of the cast members of Arrow, Black Lightning and Supergirl would have been up for it. They could presumably have made Diggle a legend, for a start, instead of him just showing up at random in every other show to hint at some vague ongoing story that'll probably never pay off.

I really thought/hoped for a while that they'd add Mia Queen and the Canaries to the Legends after their pilot failed to get picked up.

Spooner's two episodes last year were so good, particularly the second one riffing on There Will Be Blood, and I really like how they depict her friendship with Astra. She's had less to do this season, sure, but that's how the show's worked for ages now. Characters who are prominent one season take a back-seat in the following season, then rotate back into prominence. This arc seems more focused on Astra, Behrad, Gary and Gideon, after last season did more with Sarah, Ava, Mick, Constantine and Spooner. I assume that next season we'll have a lot more from Gwyn. I really like that the show isn't just taking cast-offs from other shows though, that it's casting people based on what it wants when it wants to use them -- that it shuffles its cast around so much is a good thing IMO. It keeps the show fresh. But it looks like they might be adding another DC character to show as a regular coming up, we'll see.

I think Gary is improving in this season. My biggest gripe with him in previous seasons was that his interactions with the crew wasn't allowed to break original characterisation, so everyone was constantly annoyed with him, even though he was a long standing part of the team which prides itself on being a band of screwups. He's still the comic relief, but having an instance where he calls everyone together to stand up for himself and Gideon and call everyone jerks, and having them accept that, is a big step up. I know the bar has been set pretty low for him, but he's feeling more a part of the team and less of a running gag that had way outstayed its welcome.

Gary is like this reverse Flanderization where they took a one note joke and fleshed him out as more of a character. also next ep has Letscher back as Thawne IIRC V-Men fucked around with this message at 15:03 on Jan 24, 2022 |

TBH, my mental highlight reel for that episode consists of: - the very silly scene where Sarah and Austen take a stroll around the living room AND - the way that scene is repeated again later, except it's Mona in werewolf form trying to rip Jane Austen's head off while screaming about how much she hates her books.

Norwegian Rudo posted:Probably more concerning that they set up such an obvious out for Sara. Also apparently Caity has been posting about moving out of her Vancouver apartment... Yeah, I thought they might be writing Sarah out this season, given that they didn't bother to remove her immortality superpowers. The arbitrary character swap dynamics established in this episode seems to be the way they're gonna justify it. It's a bit whatever tbh, but the show's getting towards the end of its run and we'd be losing Sarah one way or the other. It'll be weird, but a good weird I think. Shifting characters around has always been important to keeping this show fresh. That said, I didn't think much of this episode, their weakest in a while, mostly because of the convoluted time travel bullshit that's just sort of there to do a combo boxing / timeloop storyline. The coming outs were sweet, but a little patronising and too sweet for me. I'll be pretty impressed if this show ends with some sort of throuple involving Behrad, Spooner and Astra though.

Vietnamwees posted:Also, WTF IS ORGANIZING THESE "FIXED POINTS" IN THE TIMELINE!? But yeah. Gideon being bothered by the idea that time was fixing itself, but then immediately accepting the explanation that it's a guy... who was sent by the time wraiths... who are part of the Speed Force, I think? Which is a person, sort of? But also a natural phenomenon like gravity, maybe? Thawne's presence doesn't explain anything.

I don't know how they write out Sara without writing out Ava too, since there's no way they actually split those two up like that. Unless they intend to just do "sad and angry Captain Sharp" for a season or so, but I'd rather they just end the show instead of going that route. My guess (pure speculation) is that Sara is about to put on the cuff and take over the position, and Gwynn (sp?) takes her place instead. That solves his paradox and is a fitting fate for the father of time travel.

That was OK, but as others said the filler was dull. I'm also getting a bit fed up with all the arbitary random pairings off of characters. Like there is no way Eva would not want to see the bar full of time travellers. Also if you think about it (which you probably shouldn't) who is protecting all the other fixed points across history? I mean there must be dozens of things of similar magnitudes in the past and future history of earth. Then what about the fixed points on all the other habitable planets in the universe? There is probably a need to maintain millions of point guardians.

At one point they had him just straight up say "That's the thing about time travel. The more you do it, the less the rules apply." Thawne's birth got edited out of future history but he's still hanging around because it hasn't kicked in. So he will not have had been, but has not will not have had been yet. God just gave up trying to diagram that sentence.

I think the show does need some new blood. Sara and Ava retire, Nate goes to live in the totem, Zari goes back to being a reality TV star and is replaced with robot Zari. Robot Zari can be the new team captain. Bring in Wild Dog or Mia Queen, maybe someone from Black Lightning.
