I think he needs to keep the ability to fly, at least, (even if it's only while shrunken down) just so he has the mobility to really make use of his shrinking.

Maybe it doesn't bother translating words if it knows the team members already know what the word means.

Maybe she's from Earth-2, where having five majors in college is apparently a normal thing to do.

I don't know about calling Sara the main warrior. She's the most skilled fighter in the traditional sense, but she's also the only one without superpowers or advanced weapons technology. In a straightforward fight, where she doesn't get the chance to sucker punch anyone, everyone else on the team could probably kick…

Him casually grabbing a martini as he walks away from the three guys he just shot was definitely a highlight from the season premiere.

"Rip Hunter" DOES sound like kind of a villain name.

My guess is the American propoganda machine put out some stuff about how those evil Japanese have these special assassins you need to beware of, and Amaya, knowing how much the U.S. gets wrong about the part of the world she's from, figured this was more of them propogating insane stereotypes.

Ragman was escorting the cops and other personnel out the building. So he was in front, while the rest of the team was in the rear. It's just bad luck the rear is where Church decided to attack from.

I'm guessing Ragman's not long for this world. A guy who can just stand there and let bullets hit him, no problem, is too powerful to be a regular member of the team.

I assumed he was out of bullets.

I just realized: since the train keeps getting hotter everytime you think about how hot it is, room-temperature clam chowder could actually be at a pretty decent level of warmth.

Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out. At least I didn't write "Tahini".

It does seem to have Hellmouth like properties that make anyone involved in the abnormal inevitably gravitate to it.

Well, there's also that guy who gave both his kidneys to a stranger he met on the bus.

I dunno, this show did it well when Janet was in Fun Facts mode:

I found him pretty underwhelming on The Flash, but was sold on him for this show by the end of the pilot. That his stated reason for joining the team was simply "I like killing people" was fantastic.

I think part of the success is that, in any good time travel adventure, you need one person who doesn't really care about the consequences or mechanics of time travel and just sort of goes with the flow. And that's our Mick.

She did have a brief appearance in Season 4, to give Nyssa the cure for Thea's Lazarus Pit conditon.

It's actually a reference to Season 3 of Arrow, when we had Maseo Yamashiro and his wife Tatsu Yamashiro (a.k.a. Katana).

Hey, she couldn't detect space pirates, so why not?
