Spoilers DC's Legends of Tomorrow - Season 2

Aww, that breaks the rhythm.
Sorry, all. I started watching your shows. That's almost always a TV show death sentence.
Don't worry about it. I'm sure most of the characters will find homes on the other DC shows even if Legends gets cancelled. [Maybe they'll take that Star City apocalyptic future seriously and help out Oliver. Quentin could certainly use a living daughter to get him out if his perpetual funk.] Besides, the move could work out in the show's favor. The Flash will be a great lead-in.
I think they're moving Legends to make way for other shows on Thursday. Supernatural is moving up to Thursdays at 8 to make room for Riverdale (the Archie adaptation from Berlanti and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa). Oddly, that show's going for sort of a dark, Twin Peaks-ish small-town mystery flavor, so maybe they feel that Supernatural is a good lead-in for it. And they need Friday free for their other shows like Reign and The Originals.
That's the thing about TV scheduling -- no show exists in a vacuum. They have to juggle a whole schedule of different shows, and so a show's schedule change isn't always about that show. Sometimes it's just a side effect of decisions pertaining to other shows.

I wouldn't write the show off yet that easily, ratings aren't everything(besides, it's still like no.5 show on the network).
As I've mentioned earlier in this thread, a recent WB earning report said that the DC TV shows bring in over 1 billion dollars in revenue a year. That's a pretty compelling reason to keep it on air...

It's hard to believe Supernatural has survived the number of times that show has changed time slots. It's example number one for not getting too pessimistic. Though, one wonders if even the CW wants to be so dependent on DC shows. They make a lot of money, but it's not always smart to put all your eggs in one basket.
Riverdale is based on Archie Comics, of course, not DC (although it is part of the Berlanti empire). And it's just been announced that The CW has commissioned a pilot based on Valiant Comics' Dr. Mirage.
Talk about wave riding...
That stood out for me too. I can say 100% that I never heard the word in conversation until at least the early 2000's maybe even later.
But the Atkins diet didn't really take on popularity until the nineties.
The best way to research how expressions were used is to go back and watch movies from the period, I think. The Honeymooners is a good example of this, but television series weren't around in the thirties and forties.
But to be fair, all shows suffer small anachronisms in dialogue, even shows that pay a lot of attention to period detail like Downton Abbey.
I like Reddit for its AMAs, FWIW.
2x06...
How much would that boulder-sized chunk of dwarf star weigh? A few million tons? And shouldn't those bullets be really heavy too?
And I see that they've touched on the "kryptonite bullet" issue.
And introducing.... Captain Iron!
If it were really white-dwarf star material, it would be dense enough to sink clear through any normal solid matter and settle in the center of the Earth. Which may be why it's called dwarf-star alloy in the comics -- it'd have to be cut with something much less dense. Heck, it'd have to be diluted to an almost homeopathic degree.
Nate's method of stopping the train was odd -- I thought the goal was to prevent the tracks from being destroyed. I guess the key was where they were destroyed, since that pass was supposedly the only way through the Rockies. (Or maybe it really was? I dunno.)
I was surprised to see that the ending led into the crossover -- "Our friends back in 2016 need our help" -- but then I realized next Thursday is Thanksgiving, so there's no new episode. Apparently only Supergirl and The Flash are new next week.
My guess about the woman in Martin's visions:
His daughter. His pep talk to his younger self must've changed his history with Clarissa enough that they have a kid now.
And that doesn't even get into how some guys in the old west were able to "mine" the material in order to make bullets...What would they use to cut or melt the ore?
That sounds right to me.
It is? My memory of the Atom's origin is he finds a metor and make a lens from it that enables him to shrink things.
"white dwarf star matter" which is another word for a cosmic fart.
A fleck off a small sun.
Some sort of congealed plasma?
Now that Ray is a time Traveller... That could bring Jean Loring/Teryl Rothery back into play.
Although, what's 20 years between friends if you happen to be in love?
But if Ray hooks up with Jean in the 90s?
He's going to have to deal with 2016 Jean every time he comes back form a dirty weekend with 1990s Jean Loring.
(Yes, the hot female Doctor from the first 7 seasons of Stargate, that girl, she played a lawyer named Jean Loring early on in Arrow, when the character from comics used to be Ray's wife, and then nemesis, who almost destroyed the Justice League.)
Playing with her timeline like that might bring on Identity Crisis.

Did they explain why he did it like that, as if it looked like he was actually wrestling a locomotive, which shouldn't have worked?
It's not his strength that stopped the train, it's the engineer that lost a game of chicken who put on the breaks, and turned the engine off as soon as that lunatic stood in front of the train.
Boarding the train, and threatening the engineer would have worked better, and they could have mentioned Back to the Future again.
If they were not worried about the Dwarfstar allow blowing up, punching the tracks ahead of the train would have caused a serious derailment, and history is saved, except for all the people that would have died on that train crash.
Putting a log, or a cow on the tracks would have stopped the train.
Steel should have been ripped in half.
It would have been funny.
Too pretty to live.
