Spoilers Legends of Tomorrow season 7

On the Scrubs podcast that they do together Zach Braff said he wants to play Blue Beetle alongside Donald Faison's Booster Gold. (They actually beeped out the character names but you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to work out who they're talking about.)

Sneaky Bastards.
 
A fun finale, but I don't get the part about how they were stranded in 1916. Didn't they still have their keys with them? Heck, Gary was able to build his own door in prehistory and it somehow worked. (Also, the fact that Gary's hair and beard grew proves that his human form is a physical transformation and not a hologram, though I guess his physical relationship with Gideon proves that too.)

This was sort of an intimate finale in a way, focusing almost entirely on the team, with Alan and Booster Gold being the only significant guest stars. And it was largely about paying off character arcs. Sara and Ava get pregnant (cute way to use alien biology to let them do so without a donor), Sara loses her invulnerability (for good?), Nate loses his power and retires, Zari gives up her totem (though Behrad still has his, I think), Gwyn rescues Alan, Gideon comes to her senses and reaffirms her daughter/mother bond with Astra, etc. I think my favorite payoff moment was Astra finally succeeding in her Waverider restoration spell that she failed to achieve at the start of the season.

Booster Gold is a natural fit for this show, and he made an effective first impression. It'll be interesting to see how things shape up with him next season. (Doesn't the comics character have some kind of link with Rip Hunter?)

By the way, I noticed a "Superman created by Jerry Siegel & Joe Shuster" credit in the end titles. Why would that have been there? I didn't notice a Superman reference.

As I understand it, the keys allow them to come and go from the mansion (which is in hell), but they can't use the keys to travel from 1916 to the mansion to the present-day. The only way that would work would be if somebody in the present-day had a key and could open a door to mansion.

So, yes, they're technically stranded in 1916 OR the mansion, but they can't use the mansion to get back to the present-day. (And can only return to 1916 if somebody stays behind in 1916 to open the door from that end.)

Oh, I guess that makes sense (by Legends values of "sense"). So the keys just let them go back to whatever time they entered from most recently.
 
Thinking about it I'm hoping that the uncertain situation with the CW's future makes another season more likely. They're still going to need shows to air in the autumn, so it'd be easier to pick up your existing shows rather than start something new from scratch.
 
I doubt it. I saw a clip of this new Booster Gold and he looks nothing like his character. I doubt he has any relation to Rip
 
That's not a great sign when you're having to ask people to help save your jobs.

Hopefully Warners will see the benefit in giving it half a dozen episodes or, hell, even just a TVM so it can get some closure instead of just ending on a cliffhanger.
