This. Rules, they aren't even pretending to have them.
Still waiting for Rip Hunter to quote the Doctor when explaining time travel rules: "Wibbly wobbly, timey whimey... stuff!"
Unless I'm mistaken, the incident from Season 1 where the team was erased from history after leaving 2016 was a result of a time aberration encountered during their mission, not the mission itself, so it has nothing to do with not following the show's established time travel rules.
Time has no trust.
There was no reason to believe that they would come back, so the timeline reflected that they did not come back. Rip says that when they he did take them home, that this "wasteland" full of Mad Max rejects would vanish, and everyone ignored him.

Unless she's already had a daughter and went with the JSA as part of a higher calling, leaving her daughter behind. The dates probably don't line up, but these things have been hand waved before.
Sisters can be equally/simultaneously chosen, that means cousins can be chosen ones, because they come from the same grammy, if the cartoon is canon.
Is there a reason they can't attack Thanagar 12 thousand years ago?
Or strip mine Thanagar a million years ago, so that they don't a have the resources to build armies, or infrastructure.
The Time Master's plan was to save the Earth without stacking the deck.
Sarah has no problem with deck stacking.

Well, that's not a time aberration, it's the way history is supposed to go down. They can't stop every bad thing from happening, just try to keep the timeline from being altered. Maybe the Time Masters were wrong about how necessary Savage was to defeating the invaders.
Maybe that's the aftermath of this month's "Invasion!" crossover if the Legends weren't part of it. Anyway, as stated, it seemed to be more of an anomalous pocket timeline than a normal future glimpse. After all, they've been to the future on other occasions and it hasn't been a timeline altered by their absence.
Surely the Hawks should be on top of that, since hey stayed in the present?
They get a couple months head start to track down the major players in the fall of Star City before they're primed, and remove theses nasty bastards from play somehow.

I'd like to see a space type theme in Season 3, even if they're a time travel team. The thanigarians and other DC alien races/characters would be a cool focus, and none of the other shows really fit with them. They could even add someone like Adam Strange or Captain Comet to the team. What I really want from a space based season, though, is to see the team meet Lobo, especially Lobo vs Mick. It would be hilarious. Lobo isn't impossible to do in live action, if a few fan projects can make him look good, I can't imagine he's impossible to do in a professional production. They could easily tie him in to a Thanagarian plot (he could be working as a bounty hunter for the thanagarians). Heck, they could also add the Thanagarian Hawkman/Hawkwoman, who don't have to have any connection to the earth ones.
I'm sure none of that will actually happen, but I think it would be cool.
In the original timeline that the Time Masters were attempting to preserve by refusing to take action against Vandal Savage, the Thanagarian Invasion happened shortly after Savage took over the world. With history having been changed, though, it now looks like the kind of invasion the Time Masters knew about and were attempting to circumvent by allowing Savage to build up his strength is going to happen much, much sooner, and involve a different alien race entirely: the Dominators.
We don't know that the Dominator invasion didn't happen in the original timeline. After all, it's only gonna be a week long, right? So it's not like it's going to have a world-changing effect (aside from probably introducing a bunch of new metahuman characters, which was kind of the end result of the comics storyline). It seems like it's not going to affect Arrow's ongoing storyline much beyond the single episode in which it happens, which has been described as taking a break from the season's story arc. Which suggests it's going to be more an infiltration, or something targeted primarily at metahumans, which is very different from the cataclysmic, globally devastating Thanagarian invasion that wipes out most of the human race. So that invasion happening in November 2016 is not irreconcilable with the Thanagarian invasion happening in 2175.
Anyway, they said in LoT last season that the timeline has been changed enough that the 2175 invasion is no longer a certainty.
This show is pure junk food. In that I get an immediate sense of fun/fullfillment as I'm watching it but realize it's very empty. There is no internal logic or consistency(time travel caveat and all).
At least last season there was a narrative thread we were following, as repetitive as it got, to chasing Vandal Savage across time to thwart his plans in the future. This season, other than being told that Reverse Flash and Damian Dark are up to something each episode feels a "one shot", not tied to anything.
This show is likely to become the next one after Gotham I start sidelining to make sure I stay current on the better ones for discussion.

On a show like this, I wouldn't be surprised if the writers have already forgotten about the mention of the Thanagarians role in Earth's future. I know I did!

It's 2175. There's no rush.
Sarah is a time pirate.
She's dispatching arbitrary rough justice to other time pirates but really, without the Timemasters controlling the high ground any more, any Time Pirate with enough vision can cobble together an army and build an empire.
Even though any human time pirate from north of 2175, their existence is Contingent on Vandal Savage unifying the worlds armies to fight off the Thanagarians.
Sarah is in the wrong if she is trying to bend the universe to her will, but then is any one else climbing to the top of the dog pile.

You know, we should remember that they made Sara the leader, who previously came really late to a fight in order to have sex, and soon after jeapordized the mission because of her personal agenda. And somehow, she's still the most qualified.
Well, actually we don't know if Ray wouldn't make a better leader, though he'd most probably be a more responsible one.

The whole thing about 'Ray's Suit' is ridiculous in that:
Even if he can't use tech from the Timerider ship to fabricate/reconstruct another suit; what's stopping them from doing a quick run to Ray's lab to get the parts he'd need (and 'Dwarfstar alloy' should be obtainable from somewhere with their ship.)
