Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 1

Yeah,I'd even say it's quite heard of. I'm referred to as a youngster (or similar descriptions) all the time and I'm over 30.
 
Did I ever put my foot in it this week...I really got something started.

Hill Street Blues I liked Cop Rock I didn't. I guess Xena and Evil Dead really gave us the 'Cute" take taken to the extreme with DEADPOOL.

O/T This is what I liked about The Incredible Hulk vs. Batman of the 60's. A very different feeling.

Being made over a decade apart helps.
 
Ugh. Once again they catch Savage and just let him go (after blowing him up).
Why don't they just shoot him in the head, then take his body on the ship and throw it in the sun? Or throw him into deep space?

Savage is just not enough of a physical threat to justify the danger posed in this series.

So far, we've been given no indication that the Waverider has spaceflight capability -- just aerial flight and time travel.

No need for space anyway, just gather up Savage's body, remove his weapons and keep him locked up until he regenerates, then let everyone hold him down while Hawkgirl bashes his head in. Problem solved.

There's some interesting character stuff going on in this show, but the entire time travel/fix the past storyline hasn't been thought out well at all. It's really dragging the show down.
 
But in all seriousness, you have a literal assassin and two amoral criminals on your team. Those three should be asking why don't we just take him out now? (I don't remember if they hung a lantern on this in the pilot or not)
 
Speaking as a hung Lantern, if you cross your own time line a city eating black hole appears like in the bridge between seasons of the Flash. Rip alluded to something bad happening if they try to play with themselves directly which was probably an opening singularity again that among other things caused Eobard Thawne to seemingly evaporate.

It's like how Wile E. Coyote can walk on air, not falling off a cliff, so long as he doesn't notice that he is walking on air when he should be falling.

Time leaves you alone until you know in your heart for sure that you are a paradox.

In theory, maybe, but not so easy in practice when you're surrounded by a bunch of Soviet prison guards who are loyal to Savage and already trying to kill you. Same in the previous instance where they were surrounded by a bunch of Savage's cultists who were trying to kill them. In neither case did they really have the opportunity to take Savage's body anywhere.
 
Knock him out, throw him on the Waverider, launch him out at the sun, then let him spend the next few billion years being ripped apart and regenerating. It wouldn't be so bad; he'd have Supes to keep him company after a few years at least.

Or start off the same way, take him to the building of some monument that Rip knows will be up for Earth's entire history, dump him in the foundation, pour some concrete over him, and dust your hands for another job well done.

Or do any of the other countless things that would make being immortal a nightmare.
 
He's the villain for season one. No matter what they do, he'll be back.
We know that, but Rip and his team don't know that. They should be actively considering these possibilities, and acting toward them, since the ultimate goal is apparently to kill Savage whenever and however they can.

It's the writers' job to keep Savage alive until the season finale at least, but they need better obstacles in place to help explain why these common sense ideas aren't being sought out.

For example, it's been said that the Atom is easily the most powerful member of the team. To offset this, they've kept him away from his suit for awhile. They explained why in the second episode.

Hopefully, 2046 will keep them out of Vandal Savage's eyeline for awhile. And I just now realized that every date we've seen ends in a six (2166, 1976, 1986, 2046... AKA 150 years from now, 40 years ago, 30 years ago, and 30 years from now). Next season all the years will end in a seven.
 
Drop Savage off in the year 90,000... Of course, then a different Time Master patrolling that era, would return Vandal to where he ought to be, even if it took that Time Master 15 thousand years to notice.

That's the job of the Time Doctors, not the Masters. ;)
 
What is Vandal Savage's end game?

He's 4000 years old, so I doubt it's global domination since he has to have been a king of somewhere, over and over again during the last forty centuries, when ever he felt a whim or compulsion to do-so/be-so. Unless becoming king of the world for him is like a ping, ping, ping reminder on our cell phone that we're supposed to go jogging this weekend?

And if his goal was global domination, why does it seem that the only thing he wants to do is destroy, when a kings job is to build, unless Rip Hunter is being a dick, too busy showing the demolishment of the modern world, to explain the Utopia Vandal Savage will have raised in the next 20 years after he's killed every one that he doesn't like the look of... Firestorms raising Star City? If Star City in that timeline, which had been losing to Russia economicaly for the last 40 years, was anything like the bankrupt cesspool of crime that...

I don't think that that those Firsestorms are just randomly murdering the citizens of Star City, methinks that Damien Darhk's evil master plan over on Arrow currently, came to a head a little earlier in this timeline and those Firestorms where the National guard putting a lid on whatever dark shit Damien is up to, that Oliver hasn't had to deal with yet back in the "real" present.
