Legends was very uneven; there would be really lame and stupid moments, followed by fuck-yeah! fist-pump-in-the-air moments.

I always thought Damien Darhk was awesome. Problem is, the writers thought so, too, so they kept him around LONG after seeing him fight Team Arrow had become repetitive. They really should have had other members of HIVE who were roughly Damien's equal and could carry on the season's storyline after his defeat.

Well, Diggle's kid should be two years old at this point, which is old enough to start talking. Maybe people will assume the kid just came out as transgender REALLY early.

I love that we're at the point where a character can just mention having been given some ancient, enchanted rags that gave him superpowers, and everyone just rolls with it, no in-depth backstory necessary.

Or secretly Captain Marvel.

There's a very specific way of doing good Oliver humor, and this nailed it.

My Prometheus theory: he's one of Fyers's men from the first season flashbacks who survived and hid out on the Island, and now he's back to get revenge on Oliver Queen.

I like that Felicity is now in the role of Season 1 Oliver, coming up with INCREDIBLY lame excuses for bizarre research and tech support requests. That the guy she's lying to is her new boyfriend earns triple irony points.

Oliver being Bratva has been one of the show's biggest question marks since the third episode EVER. So far, it is quite satisfyingly brutal. :)

One "back to basics" thing I'm really liking so far? We've got a lot more of characters having lives outside of vigilantism, something that kind of got lost after Moira died and Laurel was let in on the secret. I'm actually excited to see Thea and Quentin try to handle city politics together.

I think Felicity made a good point: the recruits were there because they chose to be; if all Oliver does is beat up and berate them, they're not going to get tougher, they're just going to quit (which is exactly what happened). Since Oliver's training was part of a perpetual fight for survival, that's not a concept

It was established when the Time Wraiths were introduced that they're a bit like IRS auditors: sometimes they'll see you've been breaking the rules and pursue you relentlessly, but other times you'll escape their notice and get off scott free. Eobard Thawne said he knew the right tricks for avoiding the Time Wraiths'

Unless Lyla dies this season.

Sara also can't help but COME BACK after getting killed off, though, so does that mean we can expect John Diggle Jr. to get a sex change later in life and change their name to Sara?

I think the deal is that the speedsters are used to being able to run past and around people with impunity so they can flank them. When they both try to do that to each other, you end up with a lot of them just running, trying to get ahead of each other, but neither succeeding.

"I actually used to be called Barry Allen, but I go back and visit my mother ONE TIME, and happen to mention that women don't always take their husbands' names in the future, and suddenly I'm called Jay Garrick."

The Legends of Tomorrow have their new mission now: get Diggle to impregnate Lyla the RIGHT way.

You sure s/he's older? S/he'd be two at this point, right?

Just once, I want someone to start laying out the basic concept behind alternate timelines or parallel universe, and the person they're explaining to stops them and says, "No, look, I'm familiar with the concept. I don't need 'Baby's First Time Travel Adventure' here."

An alternate universe Cisco, using the Vibe powers to cross over, seems more likely.
