Wow, what a shock. The generic, non-established guy did it. I'm so shocked that the two established, previously appearing bad guys didn't kill his boring son. So shocked...


Ironic, since Oliver used to be a killer.

Exactly. The guy wracked up enough bodies to fill a county morgue. But now he thinks he's the moral authority on not killing.

The fact that he killed the most and he's a hero should be the precaution that he's not supposed to be the moral authority on not killing. He's not exactly clean, but he thinks he's clean just because he is a hero now.

And of course, my annoyance with NTA continues. Rene just needs to fuck right off. It was clear tonight they work better as a solidified force, but this colossal douchebag is STILL taking his toys and going home. Get the fuck over it, dude.

Ah, Arrow. Arrow, Arrow, Arrow...

Your inability to commit to killing Laurel is not endearing.

Cheapest crossover ever. Didn't even have to pay Grant Gustin an appearance fee. Dangerous precedent though. Are we going to use Barry whenever there's time pressure?

Anatoly's become a right dick. He actually seems to take pleasure in the idea of an entire city being blown up. Seems OOC, really.

And on the subject of Anatoly:
"Who do you think taught him about traps?"
"Slade Wilson? Yao Fei? Shado? Lots of people who aren't you, really."

Cayden James makes like Prometheus and becomes interesting just before popping his clogs.

I take back what I said about wanting to get straight to the "man behind the man" stuff. I didn't know Diaz's name before this episode, and I don't fucking care about some generic crime lord baddie who's bad for the sake of it. (Why does he even need to kill Cayden? Why does he need to be such a dick about it with the whole, 'tell your son I said hi' thing?) The ad thing is, I actually thought this episode was half-decent until that.

I was sure it was going to turn out to be Elena behind it all. If her perky hacker persona turned out to be a facade, that might have been interesting. Or at least more interesting than the bad guy turning out to be...some bad guy.

Also, fuck off, Dinah.

Was a week and a half behind, finally caught up on all the episodes.

Supergirl was good, Flash was good. Black Lightning is honestly a bit boring but I'm willing to stick with it because it's got a lot of potential and I have a feeling it'll get more interesting soon enough. Arrow's being stupid, but then again there's not many new ideas they can come up with after 6 seasons.

I never watched it at all. I detest prequel shows. Also why I'm skipping that Krypton show on Sy-Fy.

I'm skipping Krypton. What is the purpose of making a TV series about what happened 200 years before Krypton's destruction?

But Adam Strange will be there, so...

True. I wish he had been missing for longer so we’d have more flashbacks. Those were good.

That and how long did he worked for the ARGUS, you'd wonder why he didn't know about Diggle's wife at the same agency, or at least remember her. Then again, he didn't knew about Diggle at that time so yeah.

I don't like saying it, but that wasn't a very good episode of Legends. Everyone was kind of...dumb.
Sara banging Constantine while Snart was about to get brain chiseled.
Mick ignoring them to watch football.
Amaya and her psycho granddaughter.

Was not a fan. Also, Sara banged Constantine before Ava. Boo.

Black Lightning is a good show, too. Although the protagonists didn't start with advantages on their side.

Legends was a bit of a letdown, especially after such a strong first half of the season.

Agreed. Sara has way more chemistry with Sharpe.

The parts without Constantine were enjoyable enough. I feel he's best in his own show, rather than Legends. The demon business reminded me too much of Supernatural.

Not sure if I dislike the ending or not.
I kinda prefer it to "I have some tech doohickey that puts you in a time-loop because reasons, though we will obviously never use it again." I think I dislike the cheesiness of her character growth more than the "it was all sort of a dream" device.

So is Zari like a hundred years old now?

Also, dinky-tickling.

Her spiel at the end was unbelievably cheesy. I could barely watch it. Although her telling the real Legends what she learned was interesting.

Not the best episode, but I'm willing to deal with a drop in quality every now and then if it means more Zari on my screen.
