I would argue the last several episodes could have had the A-story and B-story be their own episode for the better. I am afraid that “Nora now as the Fairy Godmother,” is setting up Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford to leave the show with an ending not unlike when Aladdin frees the Genie, but then Aladdin and Genie have

Personally, I would prefer that Gary realize he did something wrong and take responsibility for it rather than get begrudgingly punished by The Bureau and/or The Legends. I think the biggest weakness with Mona was that the show did not acknowledge she was immature. It just had her make these decisions without

Anyone else think that the Legends should have been smart enough to realize the heat of the exterior hull could melt enough ice and snow to enable them to break free?

1) This is amazing casting.* 
2) LoT really doesn’t need any more characters. I don’t watch Supergirl so I’m casting Aly on the show I watch.

*I am a big Conor Leslie fan (or at least as much of a fan of a semi-prominent TV actress as one can be). That said, I have never watched Titans so please no one fight me over

“My dad made a deal with a demon to open a theme park”
The fact that someone wrote this down and that the season’s arc did not immediately change back to the original will continue to wrinkle my brain. Don’t get me wrong, Nate discovering Hank’s tape explaining “Heyworld” (including the box labeled “Offshore Accounts”)

I was really hoping that Hank Heywood’s theme park was a cover where Nate would realize/remember/recall/know he didn’t actually draw that as a child and discover Hank’s contingency plan for if someone took over Time Bureau/Project Hades resources.

Ditto on the Sara and Mona thing. Mona’s “you probably need air,” is a level of aggressive stupidity. I think those remarks about Mona’s alternate career path being Stanford Law School they meant Thomas M. Cooley Law School.

They had quite a few “blink and you’ll miss it,” lines. Constantine’s line reading was on point. “Look’s like Nixon over there is finally winning the War on Drugs,” was a gem.

SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS TIN MAN?!?!

FXCK!! I was just about to watch Hoosiers too!! Spoiler tags people. C’mon.

I could see Ava warming up to Mick the way she warmed up to everyone else. My issue is that I have friends who we tolerate despite their real world equivalent of “Mick-ness.” However, if one of them attacked our significant other as portrayed here, we’d at least stand up for them a bit more forcefully. My only issue

I didn’t catch the 309 reference. Kudos!

I’m glad I am not the only one to get a kick out of I mustache you both to calm down.
Ray’s effort to make his mustache happen was very Charles Boyle-esque (literally, see the cold open of “Captain Peralta). Note, this is a compliment. Most characters should geek out at about “half-Boyle.”

Yes umm.....wordless acting.

I’d like to apologize. I didn’t mean to insult your integrity. I’m sorry.

The shout out easily bumped this from a B+ to an A-.

Major shout out to the show for highlighting the underlying misogyny of historical witch hunts.* I understand they didn’t really explore that in depth, but they get 42 minutes, had a B-story, and the prejudices of the past can be absurd by how out of the norm they are by today’s standards undercutting what they need

On the note of Cinderella, when the Fairy Godmother made the quip about the impracticality of the glass slippers, I pictured a LoT writer somewhere smiling, knowing that after years and years of making that point whenever the movie came up in conversation, they finally got to put it on TV.

Ray and Zari are an infinitely better couple than Ray and Nora ever could be, though I won’t rule out the real life chemistry of an actual husband/wife changing my mind. Overall, if they feel they have to give Ray and/or Zari a significant other (not a love triangle, NEVER A LOVE TRIANGLE!) I prefer them to each other
