Astra would presumably fill the role Mick sorta does as the immoral sort who prefers to cut through bullshit and get physical when needed and also has an idea of how the criminal mind works. I think the big thing that Behrad is missing is an expertise or unique skill set like most of the rest of the cast has. As noted up thread Zari 2 has some good deception skills that rival John's but hers is more towards the posh and fancy set

Astra also possesses the power of the molotov cocktail so she can definitely fill Mick's space when he exits.

I like Berhads actor, and I dig his "Danni Minogue to Zaris Kylie" mindset, though I kind of feel it should have come up before (but legends isn't known for consistency) In timeline, Berhads been there several seasons longer then we've known him so that's a bit of dissonance for the audience I miss Ray too but if I'm honest he'd been flanderised quite a bit by the end. At least he went out happy and wed!

I don’t think the size of the cast is the problem so much as it is knowing what to do with them. Gary and Mona were great as supporting characters but forcing them into leads was awful. That’s kind of what’s going on with Behrad. They should take their cues from DS9 which had a great and expansive ensemble.

Yeah the thing about DS9 is that it knew you didn't have to put everyone in the spotlight every episode. The cast would rotate out, with the ones not in focus getting maybe one line in an episode or not showing up at all. This show could've benefitted from splitting its cast more evenly this season, with some of them staying on Earth while the others somehow ended up on the alien planet with Sara and Gary. That way they could alternate episodes between the two groups, giving everyone more space to fill out their own niche on whatever team they ended up on.

They could afford to have, say, O'Brien not in a few episodes so they could set him up for the episode that should have won him an Emmy as a dude who had an entire prison sentence stuffed into his head. Legends only has the 13 episodes per season, so not as easy to do. Leverage had a really good take on it, where the team was split up and over two episodes you saw each side with some communication between them to show where each team was at.

I dig Behrad just being baked all the time and doing stoner things in the midst of universe level threats, it fits this show perfectly. They kind of abandoned Nate being a smart history nerd a while ago, he needs someone to bro out with to work. They're not really doing the Nate/Zari/Zari plot well enough for it to matter even though it's an interesting problem. Glad she got to bang out Constantine though, she seemed like she needed to unwind a little. Cruz isn't doing much for me but she's somewhat central to the overarching "time aliens" plot. All the lovely use of restaurant/line cook slang gave me a real chuckle though as someone who's been in restaurants over 10 years. 86 the hockey pucks on the fly!

Google Butt posted:how long does this show take to get decent Last few episodes of season 1 weren't bad but in all honesty if you're starting the show fresh just start at the beginning of Season 2. Season 2 was decent (and a huge step up from season 1). Season 3 was when it started becoming incredible.

There are currently 8-12 main characters (depending on who you count). Each of them could get an episode as the focus of the A plot and an episode as the focus of the B plot and play a major supporting role in the A and B plots of two other episodes and they're already significantly involved in four of the season's 13 episodes. Give them a minor role in however many other episodes make sense, as needed, and come up with stuff for them to be doing in the background or off-screen for the rest and you're good. Trying to give everyone something significant to do in every episode feels forced and disrupts the flow of the episode. And it leads to stuff like Mick disappearing from the episode for no reason because there was no reason for him to be there and they just crowbarred him in early on and then forgot about him. It's not a tabletop roleplaying game where you want to make sure every player gets a chance to roll the dice at least once each session so they don't feel left out.

I think season 2 is worth a watch as well. This show had 2 major corrections that basically turned it around from awful to amazing. 1. Was removing some absolutely interminable characters from the show, which happened at the end of season 1 and 2. Was realising that the show was way better when they stopped trying to be a super serious sci-fi superhero show and leaned in hard into doing lighthearted batshit insane and wacky and absurd poo poo, which you started to see a glimpse of in season 2 but they really went balls to the wall from season 3 onwards.

The show really made the the turn starting with the moment in season 2 when Mick gets self aware reciting the intro ("Who writes this crap?"). Then they start to have fun with the episode titles and that's when the poo poo gets real. But seriously, season 2 has the CWVerse Legion of Doom, don't skip it.

The moment Legends truly becomes Legends comes when Ray says the line “George Lucas has the Spear of Destiny!” That is the event horizon from which there is no going back to whatever the gently caress they were trying to be in Season 1 and set us on the course for what we have today.

But I'd argue that, on the whole, there are probably only about seven or so episodes that stand up to the rest of the show. (The moon landing episode is just stupid fun.)

Season 2 opened with Sarah Lance Time Lesbian or whatever this thread called her at the time, it didn’t take long at all for them to pivot from season 1. Season 2 was very enjoyable and should not be skipped

Then there were the zombies at the civil war and the plantation owners getting overrun while the team helps the slaves escape (into Union custody)

Behrad earned his place last season for me and I think his being off here was more a function of whoever wrote this episode then the actor. Also I thought the commonly accepted name for the Zaris was Zari 1.0 and Zari 2.0?

One of the things that Behrad brings up in the episode sorta meshes with his general place in the show where he's effectively an extension of Zari and not his own character. And in a meta way, that's also true. His role is mostly chill dude that's bro's with Nate, but he doesn't exactly bring new skills to the table for the rest of the team other than being chill which is less a skill and more a personality.
