“We talked it over, here’s the feeling: you got a greeting, it starts with an H, how’s twenty bucks sound?”

In the first breath, you get boilerplate language, something you might hear on both Nancy Drew on The CW and on HBO’s True Detective, the kind of sentence that could be flung at both Harriet the Spy and Sam Malone.”

“THREE murders ... this is getting serious.”

Yeah, the thing with most time loop stories is that there’s two different ways to look at them:

The Roman Empire could be prudish about sex, hence accusing disliked politicians of “sexual deviancy” was a good way to slur them. As a result of so many efforts to tarnish the reputations of various politicians, modern people are left with the impression that Rome was a constant orgy of every fetish imaginable.

Couldn’t that logic be applied to any depiction of racism, though?

And on his spinoff, Frasier and his brother Niles would receive similar advice about their own relationship (which they blithely ignored).

I’d have gone with a change to Lady Interbellum. It sounds almost the same, except it’s no longer a reference to the pre-Civil War U.S., but to post-WWI/pre-WWII Europe.

Also, I think what the other shows spend on fight scene choreography and special effects, Legends spends on wardrobe and wigs.

I think Mick was being genuine about not noticing the two Zaris. Remember, he wasn’t there for the “the Legends remember who they truly are” moment, so he never got his memories of Zari 1.0 back.

I imagine Supergirl’s involvement would go something like this:

It’s like Doctor Who if the Tardis got taken over by the crew of Red Dwarf.

Maybe it’s a cumulative buildup thing.

Maybe the aliens will replace Sara with some sort of synthetic doppelganger, and we’ll get a joke out of how long it takes the Legends to realize this OBVIOUSLY isn’t Sara.

It can be fun playing Six Degrees of Sex Partner Separation with the Arrowverse.

Between the Thong Song and the punkified Mr. Parker theme this week, and the “Repress” song and Ultimate Buds theme last week, Legends is really going all in on musical numbers, and I am lovin’ it.

Yeah, a key part of the premise is that you get the fun of lead living on a mansion estate and driving an expensive car through gorgeous scenery, while still keeping him a working class guy who’s constantly broke and in over his head. It’s a great have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too setup.

I gotta disagree with your characterization of Magnum. It’s true that Selleck gave the character an air of unflappable ultra-competence and invincibility, but that’s because the character of Magnum is deliberately puffing up his chest and putting on a display of bravado. He WANTS people to think he’s this unflappable

It was the 80's; they weren’t ready to be “out” yet.

What I kept hoping for was an animated version in the style of those old CW Seed tie-in shows.
