At least he wasn't racist this time around. They're saving that up.

20 year old mechanic, "here have a drink with me."

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The low key character assassination of Dr. Stein has been amazing.

I think if I could choose between this, and a Captain Cold/Heatwave spinoff, I'd choose the latter. Reeeally not a fan of the writing of this, everything felt kinda.. stupid and pointless. The whole bar scene, both Firestorm characters being completely unlikable idiots, Hawkguys doing nothing and being generally boring. Atom and the Rogues are the only somewhat interesting characters to me, so far. And I could do just fine without Atom I guess.
Oh, Rip was okay as well, I guess, but oh, so cliché in every word he said, I mean, read from the obvious script.
I dunno, I expected way more. Will keep watching for a while, but my enthusiasm waded a lot. If this also means no more Cold in Flash, then that's even worse.

It is probable that we won't see them there again this year, but on the other hand, Flash has a lot of other stuff on its plate and it makes sure they don't immediately get stolen by Prison Break.

No, I'm agreeing with you that there aren't the secondary side characters outside the main story line. Well ignoring Nuke in JJ and most of the other characters in Daredevil. But that's about the only thing you'll probably miss out on if Arrow or Flash were on Netflix. But even then, they could easily do it in that format if they wanted.
Just starting to watch the first episode.
White guy kidnaps young physically strong black man to risk his life in new strange environments? ehhhh
And he is at his strongest when buried deep within the young black man and the two are one? I don't know how to feel.
The bar fight is great.
Ray is one of those assholes that insists on being called Doctor.
Dude looks nothing like Boba fett.
The shootout is really good.
Stein with that sick attempted guilt trip.

Anyone know when we will hear about the ratings? Or are they already out?

Cheers! Those are good enough numbers, hopefully it can keep them up.

"You know Rip, we really will be the Legends of Tomorrow"
This wasn't great. Rip's actor was terrible.

Yeah, that too.
Fair enough, but they sure didn't make it seem this way in the show. IIRC, he was literally just standing there shooting his one gun. Firestorm and Atom came flying out of the ship shooting shit everywhere and yet the guy was untouched.
Hoping they do fights better later on. I doubt it though, this show has 8 heroes at a time (ish), it's going to be touch making villains that would give them a real, believable challenge. They already conveniently forget to use Flash's super speed when they want.
Is every thread on GAF going to be about race now or sexism now?

Gotta admit it's been taking the piss recently. Sometimes I swear that some people only watch shows so that they can be the first to find something that could be interpreted as offensive somehow.

So can Rip's ship just time-travel on Earth or can it pull a TARDIS and set coordinates for other planets?
I loved it as well. It was just a ton of fun and I'm interested in where this is heading!
The characters are all so.. oddly diverse in the best kind of way.
The council he was affiliated with seemed to be some weird interdimensional deal and didn't think humanity that important so its probably good for full space travel.
I think Caity is doing most of her own stunts in this, which is nice. It always helps when they don't have to cut away from Amell's face on Arrow because he's actually doing the fighting.
It won't be Booster, let's be honest.

Would you feel better about things if both partners in the Firestorm relationship were versatile as opposed to top and bottom?
Preferably yes.
I'm sure that will be getting some use next week.

Just watched it. Thought it was pretty good. My expectations were very low.

I hate that they changed Savage's origin from being an immortal caveman. Back when he was introduced in arrow/flash, I was hoping that in LoT they would explain that he really was an imortal caveman that ended up as an egyptian priest at some point.
It was okay. Caity Lotz and that Heatwave dude are still terrible actors though.
oh, and Stein straight up drugging and kidnapping Dennis from Attack the Block was such an hilariously out-of-character thing to do. I couldn't do anything else than laugh at the stupidity of that, but in a good way if that makes sense. It's not annoying stupid like the "plan" of Oliver Queen in the last Arrow episode.

I was actually impressed with Caity's lines for once

I don't particularly like any of the actors. I guess Dr. Who is ok. It's kind of funny Brandon Routh went from Superman to Atom.
She was animated in the bar scene but afterwards she was like the living dead.

Heh.
Probably mugged a dude
They're clearly older than 21 and in a pretty rough dive bar. ID would not be an issue.
And yeah a bunch of master thieves would have no idea how to get money. Also the Waverider probably has provisions for each era.

They stole a car offscreen. Surely they can get money.
I enjoyed the scene in Tibet because it felt like a nod to The Raiders of the Lost Ark, although I think South Park did better homage late last year.

Today's dollar bill was designed in 1963 so they'd be good on that front.

Enjoyed the first episode. Definitely rushed and incomplete, but that makes sense given it's only half the pilot.
It's also clear already that Captain Cold and Heatwave are going to run away with this show.
