Spoilers DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Season 6
- Thread starter Enterprise is Great
- Start date
Yeah, I kind of figured they wouldn't reset the timeline. Turning Sara into a half-alien clone and forcing her to contend with the ramifications of that is more interesting going forward than just undoing all she's been through for half a season. Plus they weren't just going to write out Spooner.
Nice touch to give past Sara and Spooner a bonding scene, to balance out the fact that they've never met before. It gives Spooner a reason to feel loyalty to Sara going forward.
So Bishop being 94% uploaded to the galactic cloud is bound to have a payoff later. Maybe he still gets cloned but is incomplete and damaged, making him even more dangerously unstable than before.

I know Dominic Purcell is leaving soon, so I wonder if they'll write Mick out by having him go off in search of Kayla.
It's nice to see the story finding a way to involve Mick and I love the way Caity Lotz plays giddy and tipsy, her voice cracks were adorable. I was surprised to hear Constantine asking "Are you pissed?" in the British way (drunk not angry). Legends is always dumb fun but sometimes is a bit too slapdash for my tastes, I thought this was a better balanced episode. Doesn't hurt that it looked like it had a little more budget than normal.
I still really don't care for "Bowie", I don't expect 100% but if they didn't keep saying "David Bowie" I'd have no clue who that was supposed to be.

I noticed that they added Gary to the opening titles and Adam Tsekhman to the regular cast list. I guess he's finally a full-time Legend now.
That's a parody. But they maybe can play "My Clone Sleeps Alone" by Pat Benatar.
More of a midseason finale, wrapping up the initial arc and setting up the next phase. It's episode 7 out of 15, so it is roughly the halfway point.
I loved the pretend Constantine Nate, that was hilarious.
It was pretty obvious they weren't going to change the timeline, we're to far into the season for them to just reset things like that.
I'm curious if this is the last we've seen of Bishop or if they'll introduce a new big bad for the rest of the season. Some of the other shows have started shorter arcs during a season, so this could have been end of the first one.
I was a surprised they left Sara as part alien. It will be interesting to see what kind of new powers they give her.
I wonder if we'll get Sara and Ava's wedding as the finale?

Well, they literally reset the entire multiverse last year, so it couldn't be entirely ruled out.
Indeed, ever since we found out last week that Sara had died, I wondered if they were setting up the kind of scenario where everything goes so horribly wrong that changing history is the only way out of it. I was about 50/50 between that scenario and the one where Sara just accepts being a clone for pretty much exactly the reasons she said -- "I die about once a year, and my girlfriend's a clone."That 94% upload seems complete enough that he'll probably be back. If this were his final ending, it would've been a lot less ambiguous.
We see one in the trailer for next week's episode.
She's apparently bulletproof now, to which Nate says "Welcome to the club!"
Well, this episode certainly pushed hard against the fourth wall, especially with the Cowboy Narrator at the end. You wouldn't expect a return to something as simple as a Western to be weird in comparison to all the alien/clone/sorcerer stuff we've had up to now, but then, this is Legends.
I was surprised at how small a part Bass Reeves played. I guess David Ramsey was busy enough with all the fancy directing. Interesting touch to have most of his interaction be with characters who've never met John Diggle. Reeves interpreting Sara's "Dig?" in the modern slang sense ("I dig") may be an anachronism, since that usage isn't recorded prior to the 1930s in jazz culture (popularized by Louis Armstrong), though it's speculated that it may have ultimately come from the African language Wolof through slave vernacular (though another theory attributes it to Irish roots).
Now, if the town rules were designed to prevent people from getting angry, why outlaw prostitution? Sex is a good way to relieve stress. But maybe they didn't want people to fight over the girls, or argue about the bill.

I think that was probably setup for his future arc and his decision to leave. Maybe he feels he doesn't fit in on the Waverider anymore and he wants to go search for Kayla. So having him remain detached from the rest of the gang helps set that up.
It's like in music -- the silences in the right places are just as important as the notes.
Must be in his contract.
Yes, obviously, but that doesn't necessarily have to be the reason this time. Specific argument and general argument are two different things.
And just because a limitation exists doesn't mean you can't use it to the advantage of the story. I was just talking in the Batwoman thread about how Charmed used COVID restrictions on physical contact to their advantage by doing a season arc about the sisters being rendered magically unable to touch each other. Maybe this episode is a case where they're using Purcell's limited screen time to their advantage by setting up his departure.
At least, that's the vibe I got from his scenes here. He wasn't in the episode much, but the moments he had conveyed an impression that he's not happy to be there (even more than usual).
A more low-key episode than I expected, perhaps fitting for a focus on a stoner. I kept expecting the guy bitten by the baby alien to turn into a monster or become the baby's mind-controlled slave or something, but the baby alien was nothing more than it appeared. And it seems like the Legends are keeping it as a mascot -- oh boy. It's a pretty well-done animatronic effect, but if they were trying to create the next Beebo, I don't think they succeeded. There's only one Beebo.
You're no fun.
