But never at the same time.

No, Mick murdered a poor attempt at a Captain Cold II recruit, who had murdered an innocent security guard.

Also Mick had lifetimes of training as Chronos.

Because erasing someone from the timeline can't undo the chain of events that would lead you to erase them from the timeline. I could explain it better, but I'd need 7-dimensional math.

And, like, bringing it to the Sun was disposal overkill. I think just getting it into, say Venus's orbit would have been far enough.

"That's my secret, Captain. I'm always hungry." (EATS ALIEN SHIP.)

I felt like the pop-into-the-present existed entirely so Sara could learn about Laurel and give some sort of answer to the obvious, "why doesn't Laurel's time-traveling sister save her?" question.

Literally! She stabbed him, and then Rip stepped in all, "Let me get MY final stab in, thanks."

Not St. Roch or Blüdhaven.

Yeah, the Rip turnabout at the end was really weird there. First with his martyr complex, then his about-face in suddenly realizing how to save himself.

She was basically kept in glass all season, with "Break in Case of Savage" scrawled across her face.

I still wonder about the bit of shenanigans in the episode where she dies— she's fine and recovering with Oliver, and then it cuts out to the hallway and Oliver runs out that Something Is Wrong. So there's a window for some sort of Time Travel craziness in there.

I think they wanted her to be the "unexperienced" one, but that translated to her usually being kept on the waverider while other people did stuff. Like she was a secret weapon that should ONLY be deployed when it was time to get Savage.

Yes.

I don't think Ciara is a bad actress, but I do think she was out of her element in this role. Especially when she had to do anything actiony.

Those are so gloriously Silver Age I believe they could be real.

"Shoot, Ollie. Shoot!"
"Shrink, Ray. Shrink!"
"Barrist, Kendra. Barrist!"

"Run, Barry. Run!"
"Guys, thanks. I never would have thought of that."

He said if Sara had stayed, she and Quentin would have both died. So he chose the best-of-bad scenarios where only Laurel died.

True.
I wonder how much of that was a we-wrote-ourselves-into-a-corner problem ("We've established that only Kendra can kill Savage, but we can't have her do that, so let's have her do nothing."), how much was a cost problem ("Wing effects are expensive") and how much was a Ciara-Renee-isn't-working-out-as-Hawkgirl…
