    Interesting line from the latest episode of Arrow (episode 6):

    Oliver: Talia? What are you doing here?
    Talia: I ran afoul of an old foe in Gotham



    BATMAN CONFIRMED

    Or it's Batwoman?

    Whatever happened to the Arrow specific thread?

    Legends:
    I love the hidden facets of Mick: would be vampire hunter (who always carries a wooden steak on him), author, etc.

    I was also enjoying the story with Nate and his father because it was such a relatable arc, but from his dad’s call at the end there, it looks like they are about to ruin that.

    Can't let a government official be a good guy in the same season they're introduced.
    Got to have an arc where they realize that the thing they're trying to do is a bad thing, and the people they're trying to obstruct in the course of doing their thing are actually the good guys.
    Pretty sure that's page 1 of the Arrow-verse bible.

    On the plus side, it seems that food delivery girl will be sticking around instead of being MIBed as a one off joke.

    I feel like Biff is going to be the main antagonist by the end of the season, and Nate is going to have to flashy-thing him to save the day. Also negating their personal development.

    In case anyone hasn't watched it yet, this is me telling you to watch this week's episode of Legends. It's their Thanksgiving episode, and as a result is a bit overstuffed. But it's all good and you will enjoy all of it.

    There are four stories, that eventually wrap into three, with no characters doing double duty in more than one plot and everyone gets a moment to shine.

    Just started the latest episode and Sharp’s reaction to Sarah surprising her at work is everything. I like this relationship more than I ever thought I could!

  • SchrodingerSchrodinger Registered User regular
    At some point, the show decided to just embrace the fact that everyone on the team were incompetent at what they do, and everything got better as a result.

  • Kipling217Kipling217 Registered User regular
    It also doesn't hurt that they got some fairly funny actors to work with.

    The sky was full of stars, every star an exploding ship. One of ours.
  • Harry DresdenHarry Dresden Registered User regular
    The show really hit its stride when it essentially embraced becoming the Arrow-verse Doctor Who, ironically after the one cast member from Doctor Who left.

    Latest episode:
    "We just need to do one quick mission and get Nate's dad out of here before anything goes wrong" ...so, before you actually take a mission, then?

    "Sometimes we screw things up for the better," doesn't mean the rest of the time they don't screw up.

    Still all good though.

    If you told me five years ago that a Remy Zero “Save Me” and Smallville farm cameo in the Arrowverse would hit me right in the feels, I would’ve told you to fuck right off. But damn if that’s exactly what happened to me last night...

  • KyouguKyougu Registered User regular
    I know her time was brief, but I did not like Ruby Rose as Batwoman, there was something really off and stiff about it.

    That aside, the second episode was pretty fun. Also an absolutely fantastic line.
    John..you're not wearing your ring.

    My wife and I are in the middle of our bi-annual re-watch of Smallville and it especially hit me with it being extremely fresh in our minds at the moment. :heartbeat:

    They've been great so far. Stephen Amell had some fantastic scenes in the fish out of water portion of the first one.

    And I have to assume we'll see more of Batwoman before the event is over? That was super short for all the hoopla around it.

    And good LORD, tons of little DC fan service bits.

    Batwoman is getting her own show.

    Ok, this crossover ended up being pretty dumb.
    Really? You guys are going to go with the flying-around-the-world-time thing? That sucked in the original Superman movie, it still sucks now.

    I thought it depended on reaction to the Elseworlds event?

    They're gonna include Smallville this time, right?

    Crisis is huge, so I gotta imagine they're aiming to throw everything into this.

    Part 3:
    So who's Gold Mask Guy, and why should I be bothered about him?
    Also, what shitty kind of asylum lets the inmates have personal items like gold masks?

    Nobody remembers the singer. The song remains.

    Gold Mask Guy is Psycho Pirate.

    He allied himself with the Anti-Monitor in the original Crisis and ends up controlling Barry to do stuff since he can manipulate emotions.

    After watching that trailer: Would it be too much to ask for a Sarah Michelle Gellar or David Boreanaz cameo for what seems to be the plotline?

    Wait, so the general public knows about Supergirl?

    Does this mean they also know about parallel universes?

  • klemmingklemming Registered User regular
    They've seen her show up to fight aliens and nazis and the like, they might not know where she comes from.

    Legends hands down head the best finale.

    And it continues to be gloriously crazy and I love it

    I just finished season 3 of Legends on netflix and it was such a ridiculous ride, in a completely good way. Reminds me a lot of the old Hercules/Xena with a mix of Warehouse 13. It really leans into the camp in a way that is light and fun which i need from time to time in this bizarro world we live.

    I think I’m going to try Arrow and Flash now, and give Supergirl another shot.

    They all seem to be having so much fun doing it, too.

    And Caity Lotz is simply a treasure

    I mean, Supergirl had a pretty decent finale as well. Just Legends was way better
    I had a moment of brilliance where I realized that absolutely everything that happened, all of Lex' behind-the-scene machinations and string pulling, was ultimately all just so he could fire a shot off at Argo and finally defeat Superman that...felt extremely on-brand.

    Legends' finale ate Supergirl's lunch. Same overall theme, but much better execution as silly as it was.
    They really put it out there that stopping Lex's plan erased all anti-alien sentiment in the USA (or the world?) because of a single well-researched article by Kara? Come on now.The press is important, but they were Parade Magazine-deep on that blowjob.

    Low and behold, I finished season 3 of Legends on Monday and Netflix dropped season 4 yesterday! Back on that train!
