But now they're commited to being a team. They should get a team name. They're out to avenge Carter now, maybe that could suggest something.

He and Ray had left their future tech on the ship.

This weeks plot made no sense and seemed to mainly involve everyone from 1975 having completely forgot they met a bunch of future people when they chronologically appear (Young Stein's wife-to-be must be pretty damn special if he can forget being on a stealthed spaceship for her).
But really, it doesn't matter. This

Ok first to the important stuff: Cisco's fragile defiance in the face of fear and comedy delivery killed it. High points of the night were whenever he was on screen.

Editing because: could you possibly edit this to be a bit vaguer, so that those of us who've not read the books or (obviously) seen that far ahead in the plot aren't surprised with it nearly first post seen.

There was a bit in this where I thought that Roberta was going to reveal herself as the Spirit of the True King's Sword at one point. She did really come out of nowhere and seemed very confident about Richard's martial chances.

The show doubles down on everything this episode, both good and bad, but luckily this episode focused on the strongest actors they have so it's entirely watchable despite the clunky CW moralizing.

When she said 'millions' I got the idea she was bluffing and it was more along the lines of that last Japanese soldier who didn't admit the war was over.

Ranged space weapons is the answer (saw once that Trom was so heavily radioactive the population could only survive in one long valley roughly the size of New Zealand and with a population of 4 million). In a later incarnation the planet was sterilized by Daxamite heat vision from space.

As welll as the Kryptonians and knows who else? Earth is seems pretty much over-run.
Maybe Kara's aunt has been keeping them in check, which would be an iinteresting twist.

Is that where they do the alien implantations now?

Dear god this was tiring!
Duchovny and Anderson have chemistry but seem to be told the characters have been heavily medicated since the last time we saw them. Really, really heavily.

And we get one less vampire show? I can live with that

Or start reaching further into the DCU bag: characters such as Black Lightning, Black Orchid, Halo, Looker & Gypsy are somewhat sidelined characters with no easy entrance point to the DC tv mythos. LoT is the perfect place to play around with them.

Very true. I think one reason this doesn't register for me is that both Asia and India have such strong film industries of their own and are so easily accessible where I am, it's almost irrelevant for them to be big in US movies.

"Jefferson, it is imperative that we work out how to use our molecule-rearranging powers for… reasons.
Just try to fill that bottle with, we'll say, chloral hydrate. Now concentrate…"

Stein was also the voice in a street person's head for a year or so, so setting him up as a little cracked… I like it.

eh it's spelt Shayera but they were definitely pronouncing it Chay-ara, so we'll call this one a wash =)

The guilty shall remain so.

Oh Heroes Reborn; We come not to praise you but to bury you.
