Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 1

Christopher said:
The cynical part of me wonders if the reveal that the Time Masters have been manipulating the characters from the beginning is the writers' attempt to justify how little sense the stories have made.

Although it wouldn't explain the most nonsensical bit. Why did Snart have to hold the lever in place? He has an ice gun. He could've just frozen it in place.

Yup, thats what I was yelling at the TV and my friends and predicting when Cold did that (especially since the actor is signed for next year), so I have no idea how they are going to fix this one. It was the perfect fix, though.... and he wouldn't have even lost a limb to do it, let alone his life. These writers often overlook the obvious.
 
Instead of a physical plunger, it should've been some kind of biometric sensor, something that needed a living human hand with a pulse and a temperature to remain in contact with it. That would've fixed it, though it would've needed a couple of more lines of dialogue to explain it.
 
^^
Or they could have just said that holding it down stopped it from exploding immediately, so that someone had to stay behind and release it to make it explode...

i thought they did say that...it was discovery Ray made while fiddling in there.

The bottom line is -- it was set up to be a scenario where someone had to sacrifice themselves
 
Once again. they had to hold down the failsafe to let the oculus to build up and overload. If someone didn't hold it down, the failsafe would engage and stop the explosion.

Did we see, first hand, Snart actually holding it down as the base blew up? Or, I guess, tossing his ice gun to the side? They could easily film a "flashback" scene with him using the ice gun and then hopping aboard his own time ship and trying to fly away somehow. Even though he shouldn't know how to do that. And all the other time ships were disabled.

Maybe another future version of Jax can waltz in and say "Hey idiot, here's a stick" and then take him to the tail end of Season 3 or the next season of The Flash.
 
There have already been reports about Snart returning to the Central City Rogues gallery so he must escape somehow or is returned to his original timeline. The question is whether or not we see him again in Legends.
 
I would assume any future appearances of the actor will be from a different Earth. We already know there's one on Earth-2.
 
Whoops, it's on already and I didn't notice! Lost track of time -- I'm still not used to the Sun being up this late. Thank goodness for the DVR...
 
Oh, no... I was watching the DVR recording a few minutes behind live, but the recording ended just after the hooded guy showed up in the duplicate Waverider and said "Do not get on that--". Can someone fill in the rest?
 
He said that if they got on the ship they'd die, and that Rory sent him...then revealed that he was Rex Tyler, a member of the Justice Society of America.

Did everyone catch the promo for Supergirl?
 
OMG JSA. Rex Tyler. Ahhh!!!

I don't care how bad the plotting sometimes gets (but overall I thought this was a strong finale), JSA definitely has me onboard.

Do you mean Rory as in Mick "Heat Wave" Rory, or as in Rip Hunter, who's played by the guy who used to play Rory Williams?

Rex Tyler, as in Hourman. Hm.

How will they work in the JSA, though, given that Earth-1 isn't supposed to have a superhero tradition predating the Arrow?

Yeah... The CW is clearly pleased as punch about that acquisition. I like the way they used the scenes from the crossover to set it up.


As for the finale, it was reasonably good, though the temporal mechanics were as screwy as usual. Why didn't killing Savage three times cause the same kind of paradox as blowing up the world three times? Shouldn't killing him in 1958 have taken care of the other two times? And wouldn't that mean that Rip's family was never killed at all, that Savage never conquers the world in the future? So what was the deal with Savage saying Rip would never save his family?

I'm saddened to see Kendra leaving the show, though I can take or leave Carter. I hope she still shows up as a recurring guest on the various shows.

I'm glad to see that they're finally giving Firestorm his transmutation ability. I never understood why they limited him to just throwing fireballs when they already had a guy who threw fire.
 
Solid finale. I liked the idea of fighting three different Savages in three different timelines, I did not see that one coming. So, so glad that we've gotten rid of Savage and the Hawks. I was never impressed with that trio of actors. Very curious to see what Season Two is about. Aside from the JSA, I'm assuming it will deal with a Thanagarian Invasion since they mentioned it a few times in these last two episodes. But the one they talked about was in the 2200s.

I've never had a problem with Ciara Renee's acting. She's also quite possibly the most beautiful woman on television right now, so I'll be very unhappy if I don't get to keep looking at her.
