Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 1

The thing that stuck out at me about Firestorm this ep was when he went into action and Jefferson said that this time, he'd do things his way! But wasn't his big spat with Stein over the fact that he'd done things his way last time...?

I've been wondering if Heat Wave might be an expandable cast member...seems kind of redundant having two guys throwing fire around, and Firestorm is both two cast members and more versatile power-wise....

Also, Heat Wave had no trouble smuggling his weapon that looks like a big gun into the Pentagon...?
 
Soured?

I'm surprised that some race relations commission hasn't shut this TV show down, considering the historic remembrances of the slave trade.

Happy, happy, ow, sleep, sleep where am I? Georgia? What the fuck is a Georgia?

So I am completely oblivious. It has been recording every Thursday at 8:30, it just didn't record tonight because it recorded Sunday. I'm not sure why it aired at 9.

Cosmic forces are looking out for you.

This show is a mess but still manages some good moments. So far I am giving it two and a half eye-rolls out of five.

Shouldn't Hunter know his meddling is what causes the events he's trying to prevent. I mean, that's time time travel 101 - make sure that's not happening.

Somebody needs to remind people they are on a time-machine, they could return to a time before they left thus eliminating all the, my poor widow mother will be left alone, fake drama.

But what if he / anyone dies, oh the horror. Nope. time machine, remember. So long as the remaining team knows the time and place of your death they can go back and act to prevent in the first place. I suppose meddling with the timeline to keep the team alive would be going too far, that line must not be crossed!

Even the closed captioning is lazy, the Waverider is referred to as 'airplane'.

Now, that's unfair. Jax wasn't talking about just being away, he was talking about what would happen if he died on the mission and never did come back.

No, they can't. Hunter said a week or two ago that they can't alter events they've already participated in, because it would create a destructive "time vortex." I mean, this almost goes without saying. This is a work of fiction, and it needs dramatic stakes. Of course they aren't going to treat time travel in a way that would give them an easy out for any danger -- that would be lazy, stupid, and self-defeating. Hardly any time-travel story does things that way, because it would be bad writing.

Are you sure that wasn't in reference to the MiG fighter? In any case, the closed captions aren't made by the show's producers. There are caption writers working for the network whose job is to transcribe the dialogue and add descriptive text.

Ok, I missed that. Still seems very convenient though.

The Waverider was on screen at the times the CC says airplane.

No, the point is that it isn't convenient. Stories don't work if there's no danger, if there's an easy fix for any problem. So if you use time travel in a story, it's best to invent a reason why you can't just go back and undo things. As I said, that would be lousy writing. Unless you come up with a story where going back and undoing things is possible but creates a whole new set of problems. Because problems, not easy fixes, are the basis of good storytelling.

Then that's the fault of someone working for The CW's captioning department, not the fault of the show's own staff.
 
Lets assume that we saw a destructive vortex at the end of The Flash last year when eddie topped himself.

I'm going to make an assumption that when time changes enough that shit has to be seriously rearranged a vortex appears, so really how Rip plays with time is from a distance, knock on effects, subtle changes that eventually snow ball into a vortex by the time he's buggered off and he's not going to be caught in all that destruction/jiggering.
 
Maybe your 80s were more Flash Gordon than my 80s?

Seriously though if Sara had a moment to think, she would go take a night with a Kennedy, full her womb up with that quality presidential level spunk (Yes, even from Ted), and take that bun in her oven back to the future.

But the rule is that you never sleep with anyone in the past because it always turns out to be a parent or grand parent and then you're you're own parent or grandparent.

Time is an asshole.
