Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 3

I thought this was a good start to the season. I do agree that it was a bit odd Sarah and Ray didn't just join up with some of the other heroes they'd worked with before they became Legends, but I also see why they went the way they did for the story, so I'm willing to look past that.
I did get a big kick out of seeing Nick work with Kid Flash.
The Time Bureau is a fun new addition to the show.
The stuff with Caesar was pretty fun.
 

That's very disappointing news, although not really surprising. How are they gonna pull off replacing him? They've already replaced one half of Firestorm, now they have to replace the other? We're getting into serious Ship of Theseus territory here.

Unless... They could replace Garber with the actor who played the young Martin Stein, Graeme McComb. Either have young Stein pulled out of the timeline in some way that doesn't screw up history, or have Stein de-aged somehow. McComb did a really good job playing a younger version of Garber twice before, so maybe he could do it permanently.

That could work, I've also wondered whether Christina Brucato as Dr Lily Stein, Martin's daughter, as the new "brains" of Firestorm is a possiblity?
 
Maybe they could perma-fuse and have Stein only be a voice.
He could literally phone it in ;)
 
opposite-sex pair sharing a body could create some novel complications.

Which would be a first for Legends of Tomorrow?

Incidently, a male-female pair has been done twice in the comics, first Senator Lorainne Reilly, aka Firehawk, and later Gehenna Hewitt, a teleporter with limited telepathy.
 
I enjoyed the episode, the new status quo seems interesting with them on the outskirts of the time law, and not being solely responsible for upholding it, and it was fun even though bits of it don't make sense, but then it's Legends so what else is new? :D

Waverider being turned into a training vessel and then stolen by its former crew had echoes of TWoK/TSfS going for it.

Also on the references front, both The Flash and Legends exclaimed "Great Caesar's Ghost!" this week. :)

I was wondering how Cisco could be referencing the catchphrase of a Metropolis newspaper editor from a parallel Earth. But maybe he picked it up from Stein instead.
 
Well, after reading this thread, its good to know I can skip episode 1. I have a bit of a TV backlog, so not having to watch LoT's first episode frees up 45ish minutes to get through something else. Plus I won't have a rage induced rant because of the "heroes are forced to retire, but the replacements are idiots so the heroes come back" cliche, so that will be nice.
 
I've started watching the season premiere of Arrow. I get the sense that Sarah never used any of those six months to check-in with her daddy whose alcoholism revolves around dead daughter issues. Harsh.

Having seen the rest of that episode, I think that Quentin's guilt issues in this case are very specific to Laurel and would be the same whether or not he's spent time with Sara.
 
I liked the episode but we were clearly tricked. We were promised dino's in modern LA and they were gone in a second. Still it was a good episode. I liked all the character beats even though it didn't feel like much of a story. I also like we got a new time agency that will no doubt cause a thorn in the side of the Legends. Also the female second in command I expect we will see much more of, especially since Rip Hunter won't be in all the episodes so you will need another important character to sort of take his place when you don't see him. I did kind of like Ceasar sneaking that book and taking it to the past to alter the future. It reminded me of the sports alamac in "Back to the FUture."

Though in this case it's a bit of the "heroes are idiots so the heroes come back".
