I never saw the show, but I always thought it was the FRENCH prince of Bel-Air, and that he was a French-speaking prince who had to adapt to life in sunny Los Angeles.

The only way Family Matters should reboot is if the cast is all white and the name is changed to All Families Matter.

I think the best part of the ep was when all the gritty, dark, robot-dopplegangers were watching Assassin Sara and were completely shocked and grossed out at how she killed the russian scientist.

The final season and final episode were fine, actually.

I defended the finale when it originally aired, and, having rewatched the series somewhat recently (while my gf and I were in the first COVID lockdown and needing a good stress-reducer show), I still mostly stick by my initial reaction.

I by no means think it’s perfect, but the death of the mother was clearly…

Okay, let me just say I loved this episode so much and I have a few observations about each character.

The more murderous Legends were a fun variation of the version we saw a few seasons ago, who killed magical creatures after Zari and John changed time. Overall this was really strong, and I’m loving Mean Gideon as the Big Bad of the season (and possibly the last one of the show).

Just want to share this, particularly the second slide(though the stunt training in the first one is dope too):

There were times I thought this episode was tipping its hand too early, only for the ending to be darker and grimmer than what I had anticipated (minus the nice and goofy PSA parody tag). Maybe there was an opportunity to play with audience expectations more along the way (could these guys actually be the real Legends…

- As fun as it was to see the Robo Legends, their constant grittiness got weary after a while, especially Behrad, Spooner, Gary, and Astra, who were the most one-note.

• Love Astra’s hair.

-Ooh are we doing Blade Runner tonight?

It’s like every character was a hilarious parody of gritty 90s Image Comic characters. Idk if the real Legends will be scared of their robot counterparts or laugh too much at how angsty they can make their voices.

I appreciated your reviews. I love Trek, and I like this show enough to watch every week. I always feel some way after an episode and these reviews helped me sort out what I felt and why. I understand what I love (and don’t love) about Trek much better than I used to, which is pretty cool.

I’ve appreciated Handlen’s Discovery reviews. They remind me of “classic” A.V. Club - in depth, and actually critical. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of the folks still watching this show would prefer fanboy patter.

Due to low readership

Is there anything grittier than the Oregon Trail? It set a high bar.
