I have found both The Flash and Supergirl to often have this form of hyper-aggressive optimism, where believing everything won’t turn out okay is treated like a moral failing.

Allison, you’ve been the best. Watching Legends isn’t going to be the same without having your reviews to look forward to.

I don’t think Kayla abandoned her eggs, but more was planning to come back and get them once they birthed and killed Mick; that he gave birth so early and survived the process only happened due to Bishop’s machinations.

Yeah, it’s a classic stable time loop: Spooner goes back in time and saves her mother’s life, in the process sending her younger self into the future, where she’ll eventually go back in time and save her mother’s life.

None of those other alien invasions were successful, were they?

If Bishop joined the team, he’d be the Lawful Evil character they need so the Legends can fill out an entire D&D alignment chart.

It’s a little ambiguous what was going on with the power dampening bracelet. Was the kid being in pain the direct result of it dampening their powers, or does the bracelet have a separate “painful shock” function? And did the ... not sure what you call it ... house leader? ... activate the bracelet when the kid…

The rule seems to be, if you perform a heroic sacrifice to save the world, your death is permanent, since bringing you back would a) cheapen your dramatic moment of heroism, and b) potentially cause the world to be re-doomed.

THIS IS COSMIC BOWLING! THERE ARE RULES!

Oh, I absolutely expect him to die, but staying dead is only ever a 50/50 chance on this show.

These sort of superhero stories kinda depend on the public having a pretty chill response to world-threatening catastrophes. If there were realistic levels of panic everytime some weird sci-fi event almost destroyed civilization, no one would ever get anything done.

I’m going to assume the entirety of Superman & Lois Season 1 takes place while Kara’s in the Phantom Zone.

I was definitely expecting Jaime to be some sort of robot with a limited vocabulary, completing the array of camping gadgets.

Star Wars riffing on a bunch of older movies? Why, I never!

I really don’t know what to expect from the remaining five episodes. I think every bit of footage shown in the Season 6 trailer is from episodes we’ve now seen, so we’re gonna be going ahead largely blind.

Though, not like the Legends don’t wipe people’s memories on a regular basis (to preserve the integrity of the timeline, but still).

Also, earlier this season Supergirl introduced an alien from the Planet Transylvane, who has a pair of sharp fangs, drinks blood, and can turn into a bat, and his kind are supposedly where legends about vampires came from.

Depends if they go the “alien baby eats you alive from the inside” route, ala the movie Alien.

It’s a play on the name of a hotel chain, Best Western.

I’ve learned never to underestimate the ludicrousness of 19th Century moustaches.
