beccaelizabethI started rewatching Legends of Tomorrow today.
... the box set is a stupid box that does not want to let go of its discs, and I have discovered that my blu ray player will play it at fast with sound speed but only with a progress bar across the screen over the unreadable subtitles which is not what I wanted. Displeased with that. I have however figured out how to turn the subtitles back on at the start of every episode which is necessary if and only if I stop the disc at all. So that's nice.
Season 1 was a very different show than the other seasons, which did not always greatly resemble each other. It's a strength to be evolving so much but it's like noticing Mick's old nose. This is the Before times.
Len and Mick remain my favourite characters, Sara isn't herself yet due to all the trauma and woe, and Rip is very nearly intolerable to watch, the pompous git, which appears to be deliberate but which is certainly a Choice. Carter is gone already which is the best thing for him. Telling a girl she will realise she is in love with him is not a tolerable core character trait. Ray has soooo far to go. Jax and Stein are good drama but Stein is not doing great at being good people from what we know yet.
I like how season one sets up the box of Time Travel Rules and then breaks out of them, and all the other seasons are like, how do you like that chaos then?
... but at the moment it is a tv show about watching people fail every week in ways that make everything worse, which again, is a Choice, creatively speaking.
Glad they unpainted that corner.
I might have to get a different box to store these discs in. Or new discs if they bend or break any more trying to take them out. Not ideal.
But the stories are good to watch.
