End-of-season-1 Closet-Flash disappearing is workable as a consequence of the change that Barry makes by saving Nora - it's more like Eobard being erased from the timeline because of Eddie's suicide than anything else.

Because quitting this because it sucks and yet coming back for Legends of Tomorrow would be rational.

It's tricky. Lots of questions to answer:

It looked to me like Barry knocked Eobard out. They didn't focus on it much because he'd have stopped vibrating and then you'd see that it was just a stunt performer under the mask (since it can't be Cavanagh and they wouldn't pay Matt Letscher to come back for that).

He certainly could, since Cosnett has left Quantico.

The problem with the Eobard thing is causality - sure, he stopped existing *after* Eddie shot himself, but if Eddie dies, he doesn't die… he stops existing, which means he never existed. Which means he never came back to the past. Which means that Eddie doesn't die… you get the picture. They just kind of handwaved…

Yep, that's what I'd expect to see, at least for a little while.

It didn't really occur to me, but the Arrowverse has given us a Ra's al-Ghul and a Vandal Savage who are a) miscast and b) unnecessary rewrites of the comics characters to make them less interesting.

Also, all young people have ADD these days.

It wasn't really "Out of the blue, they're all racists," though.

No, but Vandal Savage told Kendra that he had Khufu in stasis in the cargo hold of the ship.

I couldn't find it on YouTube, is all. Guess I'll have to watch the movie. I do like Goodman in those sorts of films - he's great in Fallen.

So, the version of "Sea of Love" at the end of Sea of Love is by Tom Waits - was that what you were thinking of, or has he performed it elsewhere? I can't find it easily online.

. . . played by J. Evan Bonifant, in the role that launched him to anonymity.

When Luke Mitchell was the antagonistic dick who thought he knew better than everyone else on The Tomorrow People, he at least had the excuse that he was their leader!

Season 2, Episode 12, "Who You Really Are" - Sif is on Earth in the first place because a Kree agent, Vin-Tak, had arrived in response to the Terrigenesis event that transformed Skye and Raina, and Asgard doesn't want alien civilisations interfering with Earth. Sif doesn't even initially know why Vin-Tak is there; his…

I know mine, but that's because my brother and I are both named in a way that calls back to older members of our family*, so when I learned that as a kid it made me more interested in that sort of thing.

My wife and I are pretty much just hate-watching Legends of Tomorrow, now. I like a lot of the actors, but it's utterly uninterested in anything resembling historical accuracy (even by the standards of pulp TV like Quantum Leap), its reach exceeds its grasp when it comes to staging grand setpieces (the Savage rally…

I'm surprised to learn that you're seeing mistakes. I've listened to the podcast that Slate puts out in conjunction with the production, and apparently they go to the extent of figuring out things like, "OK, what TV show could Henry be watching on this specific date in 1983 in this broadcast area?"

That'd be nice. Unfortunately, if they address it at all, I bet it's more like, "Well, we abducted him from the height of his conquest, so everyone just restores the world to normal without him."
