I'm wondering if pushing the Hourman flashback to this episode was just a cheap money saving measure. Since they killed him off it means they only have to pay him for the one episode.

I wonder why his last words were 'Time traveler' rather than 'Speedster in yellow' or something else that could help identify his killer. Also wonder how mechanical engineering genius Ray Palmer was able to re-synthesize a small amount of chemical serum to deliver a different and specific effect.

I really like the season so far, it's a lot of fun but nit-picking can send you down a wormhole you might never emerge from.

This episode was more cheesy than a stuffed crust pizza and I loved it.

That's pretty good!. I expect Ray is going to tinker with the cold gun to enhance its capabilities.

They left a burned out space vessel from the future in a field, burned down a plantation mansion and killed everyone who went to that party, and introduced General Grant and his troops to a zombie hoard with no ramifications to the future.

I'll take one Ray+Mick spin off heist movie please

The party was overrun with zombies; the Legends burned down the plantation and destroyed all the undead.
And Gen Grant's introduction to the zombie horde led to the popularization of Louisiana's voodoo subculture.:science:

Mick punching his radio and saying he hates the 80s was great

Also :lol: at the fact that some unexplained attack happen at the WH with unexplained weapons and they are all just "meh gently caress it no need to increase security or put a sketch of that one woman up"

Gideon, the talking computer on a vehicle which has traveled unimaginable timelines, said the meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev was the most heavily guarded in history.

They are nowhere near ready to be the level of responsible custodians of time that ar Bill S Preston Esquire and Ted Theodore Logan
If there's another season I hope to see the Legends try to repair an early 21st century aberration timeline in which the celebrity host of a reality show becomes president of the USA.




Then after their initial shock they realize that's not the aberration they need to fix.

Did you draw your own superhero costume?
No, it's clearly Captain America.

I hope the new Atom suit looks more like the traditional comic book version. Also maybe Ray, formerly the head of a huge high tech corporation, should build in some biometric security measures so that it is not possible for any random person to put it on and operate. Just a thought.

He's what.... a ton of solid Steel? vs 400 tons of forward momentum.
But it looked great. And I liked having Brandon Routh watch as Steel:
1. was faster than several speeding bullets
2. was more powerful than a locomotive.

And if you want to get into the physics of stuff, dwarf star material would be far too massive to be used as a bullet with plain old 1870s gunpowder. A teaspoon of white dwarf star is (theoretically) estimated to weigh ~ 5 tons.
And how would Turnbull work dwarf star material to pack it into a cartridge!

I assume rhino is more charging and tough hide because she was just barrelling through a crowd before the dynamite went off while gorilla is more brute strength and throwing people around when you're in a fight situation.

But also, there's probably only so many animal powers that are regularly useful. Once you find what works the rest is probably watching Animal Planet for ideas when you get bored.

"I wonder what would happen if I channel a bullet ant and bite someone..."
There was a brilliant run in Animal Man by (of course) Grant Morrison, that came to involve Rip Hunter and even included breaking the fourth wall. Rory (Dominic Purcell) is a great one to feature in that sort of weirdness.



Edit to add: I found Jonah Hex unintelligible at times. Listened twice and had no one idea the line was
Jonah: “You do a mighty fine job bearing a burden few men could deal with.”
To which Sara smirked: “Good thing I’m a woman then.”

For some reason nobody ever actually thinks to combine superpowers in comic books/tv shows.

I do not think this is correct.

It's weird that CW has chosen that tagline for the crossover when the production teams are all calling it Invasion!

With both Flash and LoT involved there was bound to be confused timelines on alternate Earths LOL. Yes, CW is throwing everything at this: Heroes vs. Aliens during The Dominators' Invasion.



I don't care what they call it, these 4 episodes are going to be comic-booky fun with movie-length running time.

It's really a shame that power didn't allow her to plough through the horde, trample and knock them down.

All you guys complaining about Cisco's motives for liking Barry again being thin, yesterday complaining about Cisco being an emo bitch, just be glad that particular plot thread was wrapped up in like 3 episodes instead of taking an entire season Felicity style.

I just wanted Smoak to tell Cisco the story about her bombing of Havenrock.

I'm sure this has been covered, but I didn't want to read the entire thread. How come everybody is on board for time travel fuckery exactly 1 day after they were all treating Barry like a piece of poo poo for time travel fuckery?

Repairing time aberrations is what LoT do.

Yes let's hope all the series are renewed and there's another crossover event next year.

Just a reminder, Supergirl's Earth has been officially designated Earth-38.

I also want a crossover.maybe one that's the reverse of this - Supergirl has a problem and Oliver and Barry travel over to help her. Less characters, so it could be more focused.

I'd like to see a crossover that can make use of more of the DC superheroes and lasts for more than 1 episode in each series.. eg, the Doom Patrol have become unstuck in the multiverse and are unexpectedly popping up in each series bringing chaos, confrontation and confusion along with them. All the various characters need to join forces to figure out what is causing that to happen and how to repair the cause of the anomalies.

Crisis would be amazing as a season-long arc for all the series but for me at least, it seems really complex to present on television - and an Earth overcrowded with metas and aliens.. OTOH unifying all the shows into 1 universe could result in us having a DCTV version of the Justice League or Justice League Dark as a series with a core group of other characters.
