I think people are too harsh on Legends Season 1. There was plenty of that stuff that season just as good as anything we've been getting this season: the Pentagon heist, the escape from the Vanishing Point, the terrorist auction where people announced their bids by firing guns in the air. It was just FAR more uneven

It was technically manslaughter at worst: he was playing with fire, it got out of control, and accidentally burned down the house with his parents inside.

It made sense coming from Stein. He's always been pretty dismissive of Mick.

For funsies?

I guess the rights to "It's Not Easy Being Green" were too expensive.

So with the vial of Jesus's blood gone, I wonder if it's gonna turn out that all they really needed to destroy the spear was some communion wine, and they're all gonna feel super stupid about this little adventure.

When do they ever figure out how to do something before it's time to do it?

There is no Alchemy, only Savitar.

She didn't trust Evil Rip; she just had confidence in their ability to de-brainwash him.

Sara seemed to care. She did have her doubts about whether Mick would stay Team Legends now that Evil Snart was back in the picture, but she was pretty polite and diplomatic about it.

Or the one where Francine is carrying a surrogate pregnancy, while in the B-plot Steve and Roger are hiding in the closet. At one point, as Francine is several months along in the pregnancy, Stan gets a phone call about Steve not having been to school for months, but just dismisses it.

Oh God, the ending of that episode, where Bullock tries to pass off everything as an elaborate test of Stan's integrity, is just pure gold.

"I'd make him fall in love with ME! Then I'd break his heart and watch him cry until his eyeballs bleed!"

I generally hate words and phrases that sound like they mean the opposite of what they actually mean, like "inflammable", "could care less", or "nonplussed".

"Where. The hell. Is my SANDWICH!?!"

The bit where Stan is opposed to the cannibalism, until he finds out Becky was an organ donor, was just hilarious. Plus that ending:

Tears of a Clooney is definitely the best of the first season, though. That they spend an entire year on Francine's overly elaborate vendetta against George Clooney was one of the first signs of just how weird American Dad could get.

Supergirl has a sort of aggressive idealism thing going on: doing what feels like the right thing in the moment always IS the right thing and will yield positive results; any attempts at pragmatism are invariably misguided. So stuff like defying orders and trying to take on Cadmus pretty much by herself, or insisting
