> Sure it wouldn’t have made a ton of sense

You're right; I should have said "if it has a stimulant effect, you either don't have ADHD or it's not targeting the correct receptors." There are different types of the disorder with different neurological causes.

No, that's not how it works; it's not the time it takes for the capsule to dissolve that slows the release at all.

Agents of SHIELD started better than Legends of Tomorrow and remains better than Legends of Tomorrow, even though the second season of this show is a bit better than it was.

David Mazouz is doing fantastic work.

Vyvanse is considered a powerful stimulant? That hasn't been my experience, and I've been on 70mg a day for a year. Its prodrug structure means it's pretty slow-release.

It doesn't have to be Connor/John Junior; I just hope he's at least black, even if he turns out not to be played by Michael Dorn when unmasked.

I knew it would have to be what it was after the previous episode where Aida and Radcliffe diagnosed the problem with the pacification program as May's not being pacified by a relaxing spa day. Of course the only thing that's going to keep her occupied is something where she's fighting.

It was an OK episode, but the casual stupidity of the writing still sets my teeth on edge, such as when Nate says, "Roman centurions put bronze in all their metalwork circa 30 AD." That is a nonsensical sentence.

That future only occurred because Vandal Savage hadn't yet been defeated by the Legends. With his rise to power averted by their actions, Star City never descended into anarchy by 2029 and "Connor" ended up living a different life entirely.

Prometheus is a much older John Diggle Junior/Connor Hawke, having come back from further in the future to take revenge on Oliver Queen for ruining his father's life when he's in his prime?

How the heck does he know about the existence of the Wave Rider and the shenanigans of time travel?

Yeah, but that statue was shitty, so good riddance.

That's what Flashpoint is.

I understand why they hire deep-voiced black actors like Tony Todd as Zoom and now Michael Dorn as Prometheus - it's the Darth Vader thing - but it's still going to be weird if and when they pull the mask off and it's some white guy.

Because of the lighting in that bar, I got a really strong vibe that they were going for a reference to the first appearance of Black Canary in All-Star Batman and Robin.

Legends of Tomorrow cares the least about any kind of accurate, or even true-to-the-spirit-if-not-the-letter, representation of history out of any time travel story I've ever encountered in any medium.

Not likely. The headline from the future is Joe West honoured at City Hall . . . and Joe West of Earth-2 is dead. Unlikely that a jazz singer who died like two years ago would be posthumously honoured at City Hall, you know?

It was Baccarin, and the Waverider's Gideon isn't the same. Though I do believe we've seen a male-voiced Gideon in season 1 of LoT.
