So we're just not gonna talk about how the alien invaders are Thanagarians, huh? You know, the planet Hawkman/girl are from in the comics?

He got a contract to appear in all the Berlanti shows now. He isn't dead dead at least.

I was so ready to finally write this goddamn show off after tonight and then in the last few minutes they go and remove the second worst part of the show entirely and then have Patrick J. Adams, who I think is great, show up playing a character I really like? Not cool show. Not cool.

This show is incredibly stupid. They had an entire episode about the time masters bounty hunter attempting to murder their younger selves or they would cease to exist.. yet they have to kill Savage in 3 different timelines? By the "rules" they had already established killing him once in 1958 should have made his future versions cease to exist and completely alter the time line.

I also don't quite understand the time masters. When are they supposed to have been founded? That tech of theirs seems way more advanced than 2166.


Also can someone please travel back in time and fix the goddamn title of this thread its been triggering me for months.

Savage being triple-dead is good enough for me. Time travel as a main plot point will never make logical sense. (is there a show where time travel actually makes sense?)

How was Continuum not making poo poo up as it went along?

I kinda feel like once they discovered that there's no free will, the future is decided by evil Time Travel Tyrants, that should've become the main plot.

Oh yay, maybe one of the worst parts of Arrow S4 gets to come to LoT with time travel shenanigans.

It occurred to me when reading this that I have no idea how budgets for TV shows work. Your estimate seems high since BvS was made for 250 million, but a third of that would put the per episode cost of LoT at 5 million? Which could be right (or at least close)?

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.

Yeah, id like to see them merge Jax with someone new. Maybe a lady for maximum awkwardness. Ideally they find a way to make him stay and send Stein home but I'm just working under the current dynamic where if Martin decides to hang it em Jax doesn't have much choice in the matter.

So Barry and Supergirl just planted torture chips on all the aliens at superspeed and they stopped a whopping one bomb. And then the aliens left. And that's the victory? I mean, I guess it'd be cliche if Cisco and Stein used the transponder and a Macbook to upload a virus to the mothership and blow up all the other dropships, but I mean come on, this is hardly a conclusion. The threat is still very much out there and active. It'd be like if Arrow's season finale was just Prometheus taking off and then Oliver going "HE'S DEFINITELY NOT COMING BACK" (although I think this is literally the scriptwriting process for Merlyn nowadays).

Maybe I'm making a mistake by nitpicking part of Legends, but it was incredibly dumb when the 3 of them were captured and couldn't break out because the darts stopped their powers. Given what we found about about the agents later, the darts probably nullify metahumans, and the people affected were 1. A guy with a gun (where did the put his gun? When did he get it back), 2. Someone who is not a meta, and was instead injected with future science tech (Or something?), 3. A regular human wearing a magical talisman that has nothing to do with her biochemistry. And of top of that they immediately start using their powers once they get out of the cell. The should have either sent some metas on that sideplot instead, or just claimed that somehow the cell was a dampening field instead, (nevermind that wouldn't work either for similar reasons.)

This has been my 2 cents analyzing a show that was never supposed to have logic applied, I just like a little internal consistency.

I was really disappointed because we know that even without superspeed Eobard is an Oliver-level hand to hand badass and he should've had a trick or two up his sleeve for just this occasion, dude's a four-quadrant threat.

e: I rewatched the fight vs. Flash/Ollie/Firestorm and Oliver has the upper hand but Wells gets some licks in and definitely isn't dunked on, it would've been more satisfying if he pulled a few moves on them instead of "evil wins because good is dumb".

Guy A. Person posted:

Why do they never ever bother to use Firestorm, the strongest member of their team? Just trying to make fights interesting?

So are we all in agreement this is the best CW DC show right now? The show should get points alone for the dramatic improvement from s1 to s2.

This is somehow even more awkward than the pilot in the Mass Effect games dating his spaceship.

Why hasn't Ray spaced Thawne on the moon?

lotus circle posted:

It isn't that Thawne has no powers in zero gravity, it's that they wouldn't be effective. You can't run in space and your movements would be slowed down as well. As soon as they landed the Waverider back on Earth, he immediately phased out of his holding cell (unlike some idiot speedsters named Barry Allen) and ran off.

The historian doesn't think to jump to the Christmas Day Armistice?

lotus circle posted:

Ehh I feel like this finale was a little underwhelming. It didn't help that they had a super awesome shot of Eobard gathering up a poo poo ton of Reverse Flashes, which you would think could kill everyone in like two seconds but nope. Though it's kind of weird that they mindwiped Damien and Snart, but no mention of Malcolm getting his memories erased.

VBane posted:

Somehow, I don't think that's the last we see of Eobard.

Stein can't leave because he's one half of the team's most powerful weapon. Without them, who else would they have split up with Jax so they aren't able to use such weapon?
