I've never watched Arrow or Flash (not an intentional decision; I just watch a lot of TV and never managed to fit either of those shows into my DVR schedule), but i'm cognizant of the characters on this show, and their DC Comics back stories.

Am I gonna be lost most of the time with regards to references to prior events, or is this something I can jump into and enjoy by itself?

Does Savage have a healing factor? Like, if you cut off his arm, would it grow back, or would he just be a one-armed immortal guy for 1,000 years?

Where on earth did Vandal Savage find a multiracial group of South African mercenaries in 1975? And how did they have no accent?

The same way people spoke english in ancient Egypt!

Just cryogenically freeze him and launch him into deep space.

Leonard Snart sounds like the name of a proctologist.

It's a very goofy name. Like Vinny Plops or Chad Flubb.

Now that you mention it, I hope there's a Roaring 20's episode and Miller gets to wear a pinstripe suit and shoot a Thompson.

That'd be great, too. As long as she does some sort of spinning heel kick in the face of a robber baron.

It's such an easy episode to write. Have Vandal Savage be responsible for the stock market crash or something.

I truly and honestly am not sure why people bag on this show as much as they do. It has its missteps, but the performances alone have been worth it.

I know it's had less episodes, but I'm pretty sure I've enjoyed LoT more than both Arrow and The Flash thus far this season.

My theory is we're just all subconsciously (or consciously) pissed that they used the other 2 shows to set it up, thereby maybe loving up their rhythm (if any).

I'm enjoying the hell out of this show, and it may or may not be due to the fact that i've never seen the other two. Like I said earlier in the thread: I'm aware of all the characters and their origins, but have no frame of reference for their TV counterparts. That said, i'm glad to see Brandon Routh getting work again. I always thought he took an unfair brunt of the criticism for Superman Returns. I haven't seen Victor Garber on any TV show since he was Jack Bristow (but he owns), Caity Lotz is cute as hell and could also kick the everliving poo poo out of all of us, I know Arthur Darvill from Doctor Who, the Prison Break dudes from all the other stuff they've done, etc;etc.

I don't think i've ever seen Franz Drameh, Ciara Ren�e or Falk Hentschel in anything before, though.

The season will end with Rip shooting the King of Time in the groin with a bolt action rifle.

Turns out that Vandal Savage was the CEO of JNCO Apparel for several years in the mid-90's. He negotiated the licensing contract with Warner Bros. to use Looney Tunes likenesses on the product.

The team goes back to 1990 to foil Vandal Savage's plans of making "Ice Ice Baby" a billboard charting hit. They fail.

Just start kidnapping historical figures who will help to try and destroy Savage.

Clearly the timeline is getting so hosed up, historical figures are being displaced left and right.

Rip Hunter tries to shoot himself, only to discover that his gun just knocks people down. Gideon laughs at him. It is the only pleasure she still feels.

If you look closely, there's a small factory etching on the side of Rip's gun.

The etching reads It's Nerf or Nothin'.

I was going to suggest they do a Titanic episode, but Victor Garber wants no part of that.

Was watching a movie featuring Robert DeNiro, Clive Owen and Jason Statham last night called The Killer Elite, and lo and behold, who pops up out of nowhere?

With his profoundly intense British accent intact, even.
