I’m not here to countenance reasonable opinions, just to make smart remarks.

Not exactly. Sauron took back three of the dwarf rings (e.g. Thrain II’s ring), so those three rings were presumably still around. But four were consumed by dragons, and no longer exist. So it’s 16 (9 human, 3 elf, 3 dwarf, 1 dark lord. So that’s more like $3million per ring.

I would love Lita to join her Aunt Ava’s team, maybe as the new Captain Cold, who young Lita once dressed as for trick or treating

Forgot to mention, thank you for the reviews Allison! Looking forward to your thoughts as well on season 7, whether here or on Twitter.

That’s a bummer you won’t be recapping season seven, Allison.

Speaking of Sara being wonderful, I really appreciate not one but two moments of Sara being the grownup friend this episode.

I’m surprised the Fountain still wanted to help humanity, considering how many people love to eat mushrooms. Even if they’re not all sentient like the original, the show implied that all mushrooms are, at the very least, alien offspring. It made me think of the whole Popplers situation on Futurama.

I like the idea of Astra-Spooner, but I thought it was rushed - I don’t really know either of them individually, let alone as a... [what’s the feminine equivalent of bromance? oh right, ‘friendship’] friendship. It makes sense logically that the two new girls in class would bond with one another, but it means they’re…

Also notable that even when the fountain went full ‘wave of killing energy’, it didn’t kill Kayla or Gary (or Sara, for that matter). So it’s clearly not a completely xenophobic ‘no non-native species on this planet!’ kind of guardian...

It feels appropriate for Constantine - a character not just from another show, but originally from outside the entire Arrowverse, not to mention a very long and celebrated history in the comics - to NOT die on Legends. It feels like a recognition that maybe he wasn’t their character to kill! [likewise, having him…

Thanks for all your great work here & elsewhere! You’ve been a stellar part of the AV Club. Hope the change in your work situation means good things for you and yours.

I’m grateful that they spoiled Gideon’s appearance next season in Comic-Con because that cliffhanger would’ve left me worried for the next, uh, five weeks.

Caity Lotz is everything. As long as the show has her as Sara I think it will be fine. I will miss Mick but I like the lineup a lot right now. Nate had a lot of  good moments in  this episode, I like him stepping up as Sara & Ava’s right hand guy providing whatever they need, including marrying them

The amount of times I loudly proclaimed ‘’this is fucking stupid’’ with a massive grin on my face. Watched a youtube vid called ‘’How legends made jumping the shark into an art form’’. It couldn’t have been more right.

Of all the scenes I did not expect a fricking Gary and Ava scene to dropkick me in the emotions. I cried, it was that good.

Spooner’s timeline hasn’t changed in regards to the parts that have to happen, which is Spooner growing up apart from her mother. The fact that her mom was still alive in the past didn’t change what happened to present-day Spooner’s timeline after they were separated.

“We are all connected,” stoned Sara opines (one of the best line readings in the history of this or any show, ever),

Since Girl!Spooner was taken to the Fountain by Astra, just like in the original timeline (give or take Astra’s involvement), the timeline was still intact, at least from the girl’s perspective.  She didn’t know her mom survived or what had really happened to cause them to be separated.

Well, by the Lord of the Rings, weren’t like four of the rings burned by dragon fire?  So your math might be slightly off…
