Winn’s dad was basically like, “Yes, I was an abusive and murderous asshole, but I didn’t want to DESTROY THE WORLD! That’s a whole other thing.”

Sara doesn’t have superpowers, but she does have a costume and codename (even if they’re rarely used), so she’s got the Batman exemption going on.

Constantine DOES insist he’s merely an independent contractor.

Does Peggy Carter count as a superhero? She’s more a secret agent in a superhero setting.

It really says something about Legends that THIS episode, with Bugsy Seigel, Hell guns, Ava’s drunken floor show, and everyone turning into a film noir pastiche . . . THIS is what we consider subdued and not all that wacky.

Two more: Dinosaur Island

Oh, that’s not a comics factoid or anything. It’s just, where else is the spirit of a dead person going to hang out if they’re not actively getting up to ghostly shenanigans on Earth?

I think with Firestorm, it was less about how powerful he was, and more how expensive simply having him on screen was.

I hope they at least have changing rooms. Like, whenever they suit up, does everyone just have to strip down to their underwear in front of each other?

You can tell that the series entered production when The Dark Knight was the highest grossing superhero movie of all time, but got released into a world where The Avengers had just become the highest grossing superhero movie of all time, and they start pivoting accordingly.

They ran into a problem of having a team of mostly superpower-less vigilantes, then throwing in a guy who can survive an atomic blast. It just unbalances things.

The Spectre is a ghost, though, so the afterlife’s sorta like home base.

These shows usually try to have their seasons progress in real time (even Legends, despite being a time travel show). Quentin died at the end of Arrow Season 6, so when Legends of Tomorrow Season 4 premiered five months later, for the characters it had been five months since Quentin’s death. By contrast, here Oliver’s…

Of course, there are some older books which don’t have an ebook version, and the only way to read them is to track down an old, second-hand copy. Though, such books are usually on the shorter end, and so wouldn’t really call for this bisection approach.

The first seven or eight episodes of Legends this season were written and produced BEFORE Crisis, and until the last minute, they thought they’d be premiering in the Fall with the rest of the shows, not after the crossover was over. So while there may be ramifications from Crisis, don’t expect much in the way of…

They kinda did that “Kara forced to work closely with someone she hates” thing with Colonel Haley last season. Though I’d definitely choose to watch Lex over her any day of the week.

WHAT new path? You’ve still got The-Empire-In-All-But-Name led by Dark-Side-Force-User versus Now-Just-Straight-Up-Calling-Themselves-The-Rebels who have a trump card in Novice-But-Highly-Talented-Jedi-Trained-Force-User.

Yeah, i mean, TLJ doubled down SO HARD on returning to the scrappy rebels vs. oppressive empire. Doing something new would have meant actually creating a different sort of story to tell, not telling the same story but with self-aware comments about how they’re repeating themselves.

There are plenty of ways that could happen. Once Rey’s confirmed where Luke is, Leia at least would certainly be interested in seeing him again and might bring along some of the others.

Did he? The only cliffhanger was Rey meeting Luke, but with nothing to indicate she couldn’t quickly jaunt back to where the others are, or that they couldn’t quickly jaunt over to her. The only reason they had to be kept apart was that TLJ decided to begin with the First Order instantly regrouping and besieging the…
