I liked it. Yeah, the pacing was rushed, mostly because they wanted to establish motive, put together the team, AND have an adventure all in one episode. And, yeah, some of the acting was just flat-out bad, along with some really corny/cheezy lines, but I've grown to accept that from these CW shows...but if you're already invested in these characters through Arrow and Flash, then this isn't bad. There's no way in hell I'd suggest it to anyone else, though.
The Hawks were easily the weakest. It won't happen, because they've already established that the Hawks have to be the ones to kill Savage, but I wish at least one would die.
The 8-on-1 fight was horribly done. They needed to show why Chronos was a threat...not just "he shoots people". He should have been shown with answers and counters to their assault...shields and power and such. But, no, he's a guy with a gun that 8 supers ran from.
Sara is superior in every way to Laurel. The acting, the ability to sell a punch, the look...it always felt like a major downgrade on Arrow, and this just confirmed it.
The Firestorm duo didn't bring much, but at least they feel like they might.
And, yes, Cold and Heatwave were the stars.
Coulson and May are black holes. They suck up every scene. There is no one that does that on Flash or Arrow.
