Interesting that even Gambi is a product of white power structures that were trying to pacify a black population. His conscience got Jefferson’s father killed, and his guilt over that changed his priorities.

I really like it when “Legends” introduces and inhabits a little world for an episode, so I liked this one quite a bit more than the reviewer.

My biggest complaint was that, despite having thousands of Elvis impersonators to cast from, Luke Bilyk bore very little resemblance to Elvis Presley. If he hadn’t explicitly

I missed the liberal Christian undertones of the book, too, where Jesus is listed alongside the great scientists, philosophers, and artists holding back the darkness. In particular, Mrs. Who’s pep talk to Meg before she goes back to Camazotz quoting from First Confucians basically sums up Meg’s journey in a nutshell: “

I don’t know what we did to deserve this review, but I appreciate it!

The “Under Pressure” medley was definitely the high point so far of a very strong season. My only complaint was that Fen wasn’t singing. Brittany Curran arguably has the best singing voice of the whole cast.

The only reason I qualified it at all is because this cast is also blessed with Jesse L. Martin.

Touché.

Yes, the third season finale more or less confirmed that Killer Frost was just a dissociative state, with the two personalities reconciled.

And then they inexplicably backtracked with the fourth season premiere. Maybe this slower burn coming of terms between Caitlin and Killer Frost will actually stick. Already, much

There was a throwaway line about Ralph being off-camera setting up his new bedroom at Star Labs. So presumably he was on-premises, even though we didn’t see him.

Speedsters’ time travel seems to cause much larger ripples than mechanical time travel, for whatever reason. Probably analogous to a scrape versus a scalpel cut.

My one and only complaint with the episode. They should have found a reason to have Jay on Earth-1 when the bomb went off, so they didn’t have that particular plot hole. If she could get to Earth-3 and back, they should have been able to portal the bomb to Earth-15.

This was easily a Top 5 episode for me. Yes, the fact that Barry can do THIS much in under ten seconds makes it utterly ridiculous that he can’t instantly stop every villain moving at normal speed. But that’s not a new problem; it’s an inconsistency that’s plagued the show since the start. We’ve seen Barry from this

Wally was unavailable because he was stealing shit from Damien Dark in 1962 Berlin.

If there’s one consistent trait when it comes to Damian Darhk, he’s not particularly great at the long term thinking.

Megalyn Echikunwoke has a white mother in real life. As long as Kuasa’s father has African ancestry, its easy to explain that Kuasa just got the darker complexioned genes from both sides.

Time travel on this show seems to work a bit like “Back to the Future”; once is an anomaly is created/detected, things remain in flux for a while. But wait too long and the timeline hardens, and then the altered timeline becomes “the” timeline.

For some reason, this phenomenon didn’t seem to apply to the aberrations

Turns out that Rip Hunter became a seasoned alcoholic with a sky-high tolerance after escaping the Time Bureau.

Also, there was that moment where Kuasa ruminated that harming Nate would be harming herself. That seemed to make it pretty clear to me that Kuasa knows that Nate is her grandfather.

To be fair, though, most of the missions where Sara is running point also went pretty fucking badly.

It’s a Legends trademark!

The relationship drama is already bogging down all of the other Arrowverse/Earth-38 shows, so the last thing I want is it to bog down this show too; Hawkman/Hawkgirl/Ray was bad enough in the first season.

Keeping Jes Macallan recurring, and making it clear that Sara and Ava’s relationship is ongoing between the
