Who is he going to sadistically torture or murder this time around?

I can absolutely see where you're coming from, but I think they managed to pull it off pretty well, all things considered. The way I see it, Davos recognizes that the Night's Watch needs a strong leader who can unite existing members of the Watch with their Wildling allies. Who better than Jon Snow, the man who

Vandal's obviously a big fan of kaiju flicks.

I was wondering the same thing. Not only would it have looked more convincing if they used the actual actor (slowing down his movement speed to convey his gargantuan size), they could've spent their budget polishing the underwhelming CG model they used for the giant robot.

That or they found a copy of the script lying in the cargo hold.

Was I the only one who had a hard time believing that Cassandra Savage—presumably indoctrinated from a very young age to believe that her father was some kind of savior figure—would be willing to renounce her entire worldview based on a video clip lasting less than a minute (presented to her by her father's

They didn't (they were intercepted by the giant robot), but that doesn't change the fact that the team didn't bother to warn the ship's passengers to at least hold onto something in the event they actually did jump. If I recall correctly, most of the team wasn't accounted for either, which made that scene stand out

DR. STEIN: Quickly, get the refugees onboard! It is imperative we save as many innocent lives as possible!

While I'm enjoying Mr. Rory's quips since his turn as Chronos, it feels like an odd backslide from his colder, more calculating personality (the result of lifetimes spent as the Time Masters' ruthless killing machine, trapped in a perpetual cycle of death and rebirth). After an episode or two, they seem to have

*Flash awkwardly begins to clamber down, slips, and plummets to his death off the edge of the building*

Your kids clearly put a lot more thought into this than the actor/director did.

That scene was unbelievably asinine.

It's a shame that Wells' heart-to-heart with his daughter (paraphrasing: Wells promises to be a dad that Jesse can be proud of if she promises never to run away again) was undermined in the very next scene, in which Wells proposes the most irrational and irresponsible plan since Barry inexplicably decided to hand over

"I still have a lot to atone for… But what the hell, what's the worst that could happen if I caused another particle accelerator explosion?"

Nice to see that the Flash has been working on his Batman routine.

Minus Bale's odd lisp, that is.

Excellent points. Legends of Tomorrow wants to have its cake and eat it too when it comes to time travel, creating a world in which paradoxes are only possible under specific circumstances dictated by the author.
-On the one hand, they're operating under Lost time travel rules (albeit a lot more convoluted), meaning

Why were Clarissa Stein (Prof. Stein's wife) and Quentin Lance (Sara
Lance's dad) required to take amnesia pills* if Jax was able inform
his father about his imminent demise (encouraged by Rip, no less)?

The review was particularly harsh on the scenes with Jax and his father, but I actually found the scene where Jax was second-guessing his decision (i.e. to not inform his father about his imminent demise) to be genuinely affecting (although that probably says more about my estranged relationship with my dad than

They're one or two follow-up questions away from figuring it out and everyone clams up (even Wells). Incredibly irritating.
