It’s not like “crime-ridden hellhole” is exactly a new look for Star City.

How did they explain the name Anti-Monitor, then?

As far as I’m aware, it’s the first appearance of the Monitor outside print in any medium: film or television, animated or live action. Even “Batman: The Brave and the Bold” didn’t feel like tackling this guy.

Given that Neron’s role in Underworld Unleashed was mostly giving villains new powers in exchange for their souls, I’d think he’d work great as a Flash villain who’s responsible for the season’s new crop of metahumans.

I get the feeling that the Legends writers room saw the nutso scripts for the Elseworlds crossover, and immediately went, “Okay, we’ve gotta TOP that.”

Or her parents thought about having a kid, but decided to just get a cat instead.

I was thinking that, when they fixed the timeline, we might be shown that Big Easy O’s no longer exist, and Zari would be tempted to go change things back.

I think Supergirl really needs some big, superpowered enemies who AREN’T aliens.

I’m reminded of The Flash Season 1 when Eddie found out the Flash’s identity, and after meeting everyone else who was also in on the secret, summarized it as, “So . . . everyone but Iris.”

I am a Scott Pilgrim defender, but since lots of folks are already fighting that battle, I’m gonna go for the underdog and defend Iron Man 2:

Though it’s not like the rest of Team Flash has much of a love life at this point, either. You’ve got the happy couples of Barry/Iris and Joe/Cecile, but Cisco, Caitlin, Ralph, and Sherloque are all single and, as far as we see, not making much of an attempt to mingle.

I like that, so far at least, Cicada isn’t dominating the story. The Flash had a bad habit the last few seasons of having every episode laser focused on the heroes trying to find a way to stop the Big Bad, which gets tiring and repetitive very quickly. I’m glad that, while the Cicada plot is still progressing, the…

Wonder if Elseworlds will show him and Felicity together.

For a while now, I’ve wanted one of the big annual crossovers to be a loose adaptation of Blackest Night, with every loved one the heroes have ever had die come back as evil revenants trying to kill them (which would be a LOT of people). That way, not only do we get a Caitlin/Ronnie reunion, we’d finally get a…

I guess maybe the fabricator still requires raw materials to work with, and the Legends don’t bother recycling their old costumes.

I felt this was overstuffed in the best possible way, just a fun romp from one delightful moment to the next. We may not have spent much time with 1920's Paris or all the artistic types living there, but quick caricatures of historical places and figures to establish a backdrop has always been more Legends’s M.O.

Re: aliens coming to Earth:

Well, from what I’ve heard, that Old Hollywood accent was a deliberate attempt to replicate elements of British English.

Nora never went back in time during that episode; she was taken in by the 2018 version of that creepy asylum/cult. So, yeah, she should be from a couple decades in the future. Though, I suppose it depends on when they first gave her a timestone. She could have been hopping around history most of her life.

And both those Nora’s are from 20-30 years in the future! It’d be funny if later this season on Legends, we had Nora Darhk slip the occasional “schrap” into her dialogue.
