I can't really stay in this thread long because I don't want any of the ridiculous plotlines to get spoiled, but I'm near the end of season one and this show is hilarious. Not even attempting to be an overwrought prestige drama like all the Marvel shows, every actor having tons of fun with the material, just everything about Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell (not something I'd ever thought I'd say). I would so far put this above any Marvel show for at least pure entertainment value.

It only gets better from here. Season 1 is where they ARE tryharding with the plot and drama.

It's nice to hear that about Season 1, the thing was a slog watched live when you have to dwell on the bad parts. Good news: they figure out what works and run with it.

They have an over-arching plot to deal with for each timeline but don't really bog down the show with long, stupid drama or love triangles or other nonsense after season 1. They just use it to guide the Time Idiots from one episode's plot to the next. It uses this freedom to get weird with it and keeps pushing the boundaries on what weird even is.

God, if this is how you're feeling about season 1, then season 2 will blow your mind. Then season 3 will piledrive whatever is left of you from low earth orbit directly into the dirt. Feel totally free to livepost reactions.

It would have been fine without the Hawks and if Vandal Savage was in 1950s domestic goddess and 2200s scenery chewing evil emperor mode pretty much all the time, because those were the only couple of times his character was actually interesting and showed something of a personality and was in keeping with the future goofiness of Legends.

I can say from experience that watching the concluding episode of Crisis on Earth-X at the gym is a bad idea. It's hard to keep a good pace on an elliptical when you're at risk of bawling your eyes out

Him and Masie Richardson-Sellers play off each other so well, so I'm perfectly content if they just end every season with Amaya going "I'm going back to Zambesi" and then contriving increasingly ridiculous reasons to bring her back at the start of the next for as long as they both want to be a part of the show.

I finished season 1 tonight and, well, the show writes itself into a corner after the Chronos reveal and slows down a lot after episode 9. The western episode is... Not great, and while Savage is not exactly horrible, he also gets killed constantly (several times just getting blasted off the set and the story), so the actual recurring villain is the group's idiocy. There's also a couple of threads here and there that just go nowhere, like Future Hitler Babby and Savage's army of semi-immortal cultists. In this show, staging an intervention for people is a powerful tool to get them to stop being insane. -Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell have a perfect yin yang of over-acting and under-acting. As a homicidal psychopath who is the only person in touch with his feelings, Purcell is the beating heart of the show. I wish the show always hit this level of hilarity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df4omAHJMbk I have no idea how Purcell could say some of those lines without busting up. -Arthur Darvill is not really a believable dashing rogue in any sense, which makes it kind of better, especially when comrades in arms from his previous adventures also don't believe that. -Hawkpeople: Really lame and no one is sure why they are in this show, including them. I mean geez, Rip Hunter stole their villain from them. After getting killed by Savage... 206 times, was it? Yeah maybe they need to find a new line of work. Also maybe their gimmick shouldn't be getting owned. -Brandon Routh can turn big or small and probably solve any problem that way, but won't, since that would mean he is in any way useful without someone directly encouraging him. Also making Brandon Routh play a useless dork is an in-joke in itself. -Caity Lotz just straight-up being Xena, except now it is unnecessary to infer anything about her sexuality. -Like alcohol, Firestorm is the cause of and solution to all of life's problems. -I love that pretty much every other hero the Legends meet hates their guts, because to anyone outside of the group, they're all clearly idiots. I'm a little bit into season two and boy howdy are they leaning heavily on tie-ins from the other shows this season. I will make reactionposts.

Dumbledore once said the smartest people make the biggest mistakes. Wally being an engineering genius explains why he fits in so well with them, he's smart enough to be as stupid as them. Rory is the voice of reason.

Are we culturally at a place where we just gloss over "Dumbledore once said..."? I'm not making a thing of it. I just want to know if that's something I'm supposed to have already gotten used to and somehow missed.

I'd love if in the next season one of the villains is a lich with multiple Phylacteries and only Mick and Constantine realise what's happening because Mick watched the Harry Potter movies some time off screen and Gary showed Constantine the book series. This exchange results: Mick, after breaking the phylactery fails: "Oh my God, he's Voldemorting..." Constantine: "The cheeky bastard..." Then they have to explain it to everyone else. Except Ray who has taken "Which House are You" online quizzes countless times.

They have to protect a young JK Rowling, because as Constantine explains, somehow, inexplicably, she got the intricacies of magic exactly right and now something wants her dead.
