This episode had many good qualities, adventure, excitement, Martin getting his arrogant assumptions knocked back
but
I kind of want to hit something.

Story had a lot of moving parts and kind of mostly juggled them.



Reverse Flash gets more annoying when he's killing JSA but only bribing nazis. I mean it ought to be just as easy to kill nazis and a lot more morally satisfying. But he is a bad guy.

Two white guys fall out of the sky and think they can fix everyone's problems?
Which Nate and Ray kind of created in the first place.

And all that said I didn't hate it especially, I just... get tired of the ways it failed.

I think I liked it.

So that was watchable with feels and team stuff

... the atomwave Ray/Mick people got a lot to work with early on, too.

... anything not coldwave Len/Mick makes me sad, but, I can see it.



Onwards to more episodes...

Legends is not great at character consistency

Amaya goes from telling off Ray for messing up a war by blowing her cover
to being all omg we must break our covers and ignore this war

and she goes from knocking out everyone or holding a knife to Mick's throat
to saying she's going to arrest the killer because she's not some vigilante

at best she's a massive hypocrite
with a practice preach divide a mile wide

... which is actually a workable character note...

I think I like the character beats, but the plot logic... even by superhero standards, surely thy shouldn't have been the only ones dealing with any of that?

So yeah, Amaya inconsistent, Martin and Sara and Ray self centered and emotion driven in drama ways, Mick needing a hug in his inimitable fashion, plenty good chewy character stuff.


I'm just a bit :eyeroll: how it's meant to fit together with their being anyone else at all who could be doing a thing.
