beccaelizabethThis morning I had a dream that made me realise I was avoiding watching Legends of Tomorrow in case I don't like the endings and it ceases to be my happy place.
(It wasn't about that, it was about a timeline change which resulted in alien plants taking root all over the world so by the present day all churches were ruined, the alien plants were in every graveyard and playground, and you went to the Good Neighbours to get your brain chemistry sucked so you only had happy thoughts and felt shiny and beautiful. But, because Legends were in it, it also made me think.)
So I have started watching Legends of Tomorrow season six.
Everything I read about the choice they made with Gary is still a valid point. It might be only one word that implied he is Jewish, don't know, but tumblr was pretty sure. That did not mix well with him having made a deal with the devil, but making him secretly an alien that eats humans is also A Choice, and a problematic one. Don't reckon it was done maliciously, just... *waves generally at Legends*. This is the show where everything is true at once, so, stuff happens a lot.
Still, could do better.
The way the characters keep changing around does leave me with less to obsess about. I have no deep thoughts about Behrad, for instance, and tend not to dream about him. Still dreaming Mick on the regular though.
But, good things: so far I have watched most of the first disc, and I had fun watching each episode. There are bits that are just giggles and there are bits of high stakes save the world and there are times they mix those together. It is fun.
... I think maybe I liked earlier seasons better, but, fun is good.
