beccaelizabethWell. That was... a lot of threads that came from nowhere and went who knows where.
As a stand alone it was lumpy and oddly paced, so it's probably only readable as a piece with the rest of the crossover.
I liked Mick looking ugh or worried or whatever it was at having to fly the Waverider. He's consistently not keen on that. But he's good at it, and has had just a bit of experience.
... what happened to Gideon this season? Isn't a character.
I liked Mick headbutting/ramming into an alien. With a heat gun in hand. Because Mick.
I liked how he's the only one in street clothes in the hero shots. Not a lot of blending in possible for the rest of them, plenty of escape possibilities for him. It kind of bothers me he's still wearing green though. I mean Heatwave had a different color theme once, and green is very Chronos.
Mick being all 'call me' to Kara and giving her a nickname is... him.
Amaya was giving orders when they were in split groups. And Mick was mostly following them. So that's a dynamic.
I don't know why his team gets annoyed at him, from available evidence.
Martin and his daughter... Obviously his conclusion is great, but however can someone look at a person and decide they don't count as a person? How could he even for a minute entertain the idea that she's not a person? Because she's an aberration? Post Flashpoint, so are the lot of them, if I've understood right. And before that, post Eobard's little intervention in the Flash's timeline. It makes no sense, singling her out, and it makes no emotional sense to me that he could have that reaction. Oops not a person just erase her? What in the hells?
And I can't see how it follows from either Flash or Legends made up physics that they'd have to. I mean, she hasn't made a timequake, there's no evidence she's dangerous.
And once she's essential to saving the earth then you absolutely cannot erase her. I mean, she made the weapons that defeated the dominators and made metahumans irrelevant, even if their bomb had worked, humans alone can kick their arses out. Erase her and the Invasion goes differently.
Plus wouldn't using the Waverider in the Invasion count as temporal intervention? It's anachronistic technology even if nobody on board is out of their era.
And they used it to go to 1951 and back, and just assumed the only ripple changes are in how that one spared Dominator acts. Doesn't make sense.
... Laws of time are absolutely essential to understanding the ethics and consequences of time travel. there's a lot of doesn't make sense to go around...
So I can see there will be chewy stuff for all the characters when I get the other sections of this story, but as of right now, all I can say is it's nice to see Mick get appreciated
and weird through annoying the writers undercutting it by the whole 'hot' remark, much as Mick does appreciate hotness, and fun as it is to see Sara right there with him.

is so very about Snart.
also I wasn't going to get into it but assuming that the people saying 'hand over your big weapons and we'll leave you alone' are anywhere close to honest is... ridiculous.
... which says too much about current world politics, really.
