Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 3

Here's a thought -- there have been two beats lately showing Curtis/Mister Terrific geeking out over the Waverider, first in his cameo in "Return of the Mack" and then in "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 4." In the latter case, Zari and Amaya even had an exchange about how they'd "picked the right guy" -- in context, the right guy to talk to the Ray about the Reichsmen's doomsday weapon, but maybe there was a subtext there. Could they possibly be laying the groundwork for Curtis to join the Legends?

 

Speedsters are A list superheroes. Legends are only for the B list superheroes, remember?

 

That's a lovely Christmas Beebo Day tree on The Flash:

 

Rip made a point in training Jax to fix/maintain the Waverider. Doesn't Jax have an obligation to train a succesor? Or are we assuming Ray Palmer got that training off-screen?

...which brings up an interesting point. We're running low on scientists/engineers. Will Mick finally step up to the plate and use his Chronos training?

 

She's a girl. She's hot. That's your reason.

Men would want her, and women would want to be her.

Another interesting point here:

When Jax dropped Martin off in 1992, he should have been in New Valhalla, not Central City, and he shouldn't have had a home to come to.

 

Off topic, but your comment made me think of the XCOM game. Maybe the Legends should accept a mission against some aliens that has a scientist or engineer reward?

 

Ahh, that ties into my conjecture about Mister Terrific becoming a Legend. Although, come to think of it, Wally West is an engineering major, isn't he?

 

I had wondered about the colour but I hadn't watched Legends yet, now I get it. Thanks, that's really funny.

 

It was a bit weird that the historian was explaining the time quake (unless he was just repeating something Gideon told him). I hope he's not supposed to become the resident expert on the space/time continuum.

 

I'd rather they don't add anyone else to the permanent roster this season, to give Zari more time to fit in.
Taking on a guest every now and then could be fun though.

 

I suppose Rip could come back as the engineer rather than the captain. I would also suggest Agent Sharpe, but we don't know whether or not her training included Waverider maintenance. She seems to prefer being in combat and command (ala Sara Lance).

 

That's neither weird nor new. In the fourth episode last season, "Abominations," Nate invented the timequake detector that let them track aberrations.

 

I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot more of Agent Sharpe(well, Sara will ), but I doubt she'll stay on the Waverider since she has those convenient portals to show up whenever.

 

Oh, yeah. I was just thinking he was involved in something like that...Still, it seems to be part and parcel of the tv trope that an expert in one field must be an expert in every other field.

 

One silly observation: "Jingle Bell Rock" was featured in both Supergirl's and the Legends' holiday party. Trying to economize on those song rights, or does somebody at the CW just really like that song?

 

I loved that they called out that trope on AGENTS OF SHIELD last week:

"I'm a biologist, but, sure, I can invent time-travel. Just give a minute."

 

I wondered if it was meant to be some kind of joke, since it was Hall and Oates, as I seem to recall there being other H&O references way back in the early Arrowverse days. But that could simply be my memory playing tricks on me.

 

Obviously, Hall and Oates is an anachronism created by Mallus.

 

The version used in Legends was the original, not the Hall & Oats version.

 

So, Mallus' machinations with that song go back even further. This may be the biggest threat the Legends have ever faced. They'll need Beebo to lead them.
