Elvis Presley. Rock legend. Sandwich innovator.
Pied piper of spirits. That is awesome. And poor Axl. He was a good rat.


I have but one complaint: His singing voice was totally Jess Harnell. AKA, Wakko Warner. It was slaying me the whole time.

Normal, good episode. Legends is the best, as always.

I was a little confused by the part at the end with the Death Totem in the lock box. Why was it shaking? Also, this means the Legends have Air, Earth, Fire, and Death, while the Darkhs have Water and Spirit?

Another thing that was bothering me, the Death and Spirit Totems seem somewhat similar. Not completely or even very much now that I think it over, but it was probably just me

Another good one from Legends. Season three has consistently been great.

Eh. An okay episode. Wouldn't be surprised if its main purpose is to set up speedster Iris for a return at the end of the season.

Setting up for future possibility as a superhero? Why not.

Do you think Arrowverse is heading towards Smallville? As in, seasonal rot. Arrow's still kicking around and Flash as well, but still...Meanwhile Legends of Tomorrow and Supergirl proved to be quite great.

I never watched Smallville, so I can't really relate to the metaphor.

Oh, some clarifications. Constantine will be regular, if Legends of Tomorrow renewed for season 4. Also, season 3 finale will be on April 9.

Great episode until that last minute.
Those two are so adorable together. They're one sexy magic spell away from dethroning Willow and Tara as my OTP of OTPs.



"I am DEATH."

"And your powers are what? A touch that causes instant death? Shadowy tendrils that sap a person's will to live?"

"Non-lethal martial arts, mainly."



The break-up felt forced, but I don't think it'll even last one episode, particularly given the next one looks to be Ava-centric. Unless, of course, it's another Maggie Sawyer affair and they can't/might not be able to get the actress back for next season. In which case I don't blame them for covering their bases. Whatever the case, I don't think Sara/Constantine will be a thing.

I think Constantine will fit in well, if this episode is anything to go by. My only concern is that the Waverider is getting awfully crowded. Do we know if there are any planned departures for the end of the season?

"I, Ava"
So Ava is a clone and Rip wiped her memory of that. Can't say I expected that one.

Legends was quite good, as per usual.

I was not expecting Ava to be a clone. That was unexpected twist. I wasn't expecting that death either.
Dhark keeps on getting funnier with each episode he's in.
I think the writers know how much the fans ship Sara and Ava.
Future Vancouver looks a lot like present day Vancouver.


Edit: Looks like there's no Flash for the next couple of weeks. Next episode isn't until April 10th for some reason.

Just finished, I agree.

I expected robot, but not clone. Dhark's a great character, especially this season, but I really hope they don't bring him back yet again next season. It gets kind of repetitive, even as funny as he is.

The totem arc is interesting and fun. Zari and Mick being able to feel Kuasa's death was a nice touch, but it confuses me a little. They couldn't feel Amaya's totem turning or turning back, and they couldn't feel the Earth totem or Death totem when it was with Blackbeard, Elvis, and Sara (respectively), but they can feel Kuasa dying? Unless it was because it was a part of her body.


Still, Legends has time and time again proven itself as the best Arrowverse show, and this episode is no exception.

Legends had the usual fun stuff (Damien and Nate's safe space!), but I thought it was lacking a little in heart compared to some recent episodes. The Ava story line felt a bit rushed.

On Arrow:

Nyssa also survived Lian Yu oh wow i am so surprised. I think that means total casualties are William's mum and maybe moody teen girl.

Oh, great. Write out the one supporting character who isn't weighing the show down. Not that I can blame Holland for wanting out of this prolonged trainwreck of a show.

That sycophant dude in the time whatever is so ham handedly written it takes me out of the episode every time he appears on screen.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I agree that he's practically the show personified, but for me it's all that's wrong with the show. If this were playing on Saturday morning or 3 in the afternoon after school great, but it's part of the flailing tone of the show. I'm three seasons in of the same question and same joke from Rory. I'm supposed to take Sarah's duel with her dark side or the weight of Amia's burden seriously and then a whole episode of Gary doing the same joke for an hour. And an over the top one at that. To me it feels clumsy and lacking direction.

You guys seem to like Legends and you're not wrong, your tastes are your tastes, but for me that is the one that flails. It can't decide what it's about or why it exists except as the drip tray of the rest of the shows, catching their leftovers. At this point I'm just watching it for Kid Flash who at least is being dealt with better here than on The Flash and Constantine. The tone shifts and inconsistency is too much for me and Gary is the best example.

They can manage the balance on occasion, I thought that Beebo God of War or whatever that episode was called was clever and a nice balance of tone, but then we get an hour of dumb Oedipal gags.

The CW announced that all of the Arrowverse shows will be renewed for new seasons.

I don't care about Arrow and only watch the crossover episodes, but I'm glad to hear about the other three. Legends has had a great season and I hope that continues. Flash has been mostly good. Supergirl has been mixed so far. It just needs less relationship drama and more focus on developing the characters and lore.

Black Lighting has also been renewed. For some reason it's only airing on Netflix here in Canada (I'm going to binge it once the first season is over), instead of the networks that air the other shows. Supergirl also airs on a different network than Arrow, Flash, and Legends. I don't know why it's so convoluted here.
