More episodes like this, please. Loved the set pieces. Go to ancient Rome or something.

One gripe: Rip's

Spoiler

character made no sense this episode. Three times he was confronted and each and every time he was offering the same nonsensical explanation. "You don't understand! This era is addictive!" what the hell are you on about?! The explanation I had in mind was so much better - I imagined Salvation needed to be destroyed because it was important to the timeline...but nnnnnnope.

Also, that ending!

 

[Magwik]

I really hope they don't go with a higher episode count next season. Enough of this one already feels like filler, and I won't be too thrilled if they keep the same cast as before too.

 

[Luigi87]

They'll probably bring Carter back for next season... 'cause you know, that's what everyone wants...

I don't get peoples dislike for him. I thought he was fine ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

Jax on the other hand...

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Firestorm 2.0 has pretty much been a bust. They only thing I would've missed had they not brought Firestorm along is getting Stephanie C. For Valentina Vostok and they could've still done that another way.

 

[The Light]

Jax hasn't done much of anything. Either the writers don't know what to do with him or he was created just so Stein can be used on the show.
Would say Kendra is just as useless but at least we know she is there purely for romance story.

 

[Sinatar]

Firestorm's effects are too expensive to use regularly, honestly he was a bad choice as a regular character on a TV show.

And, you know, the whole Savage thing.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

It's not just that they're expensive is just that Firestorm is boring with how he's used. They were going to explore the powers at some point it seems but then for whatever reason they dropped it. I mean granted Firestorm can be OP as fuck but geez... At least it'd be more interest than just a character that burns things, we already got one of those.

 

[WrenchNinja]

To be fair to the show people, outside of his own comic which nobody read (I only read the Jason run), and a few events like Blackest Night, Firestorm does jackshit and is just a fire guy instead of an elemental master alchemist dude

 

[Joni]

I think they would have had bigger plans for Firestorm if he was Robbie amell charismatic.

 

[The Light]

Random but was the firestorm costume ever explained?

And, you know, the whole Savage thing.

Oh yea forgot about that since the writers made the main plot feel like a side story.

They could use a little more individual attention on everybody's power skills. Right now it's a lot of everybody rumble in a group fight. Let's see some one on one confrontations to show off some battling skills.

 

[dead souls]

I'm disappointed that they're going back on it being an anthology show, I mean I get it and I knew they'd have to keep a few characters but I was hoping they'd maybe have a core three or four and then replace the rest with new ones that that been introduced through this season and other "Arrowverse" shows.

Anybody who ever believed it would be an anthology show was kidding themselves. Cable might make some high profile anthology shows, but any broadcast network is going to take a "if it's not broken, don't fix it" approach to shows they renew.

 

[Nafai1123]

I was wondering when the Time Masters were going to actually...you know....use time to stop the gang.

 

[Joni]

Spoiler

Sara and Ray look very good in their Western outfit

Spoiler

Interesting that she is not always that look. Wonder how that works. She also looks like someone that could have been Ma Hunkle.

 

[MartyStu]

Yup.

And to be even more fair, he would break the show if even half of his capabilities were being used.

Same thing with Flash.

 

[Phyranion]

This episode reminded me of the awesome Justice League Western Theme!

 

[Joni]

Yup.

And to be even more fair, he would break the show if even half of his capabilities were being used.

Same thing with Flash.

They could go for a bit more variety on the fire power front.

 

[ZeroX03]

I don't mind if Jax is a bit of scrub with his powers, but I do want to see more of Stein coaching him. His interactions with Ronnie were fun, but we don't see a lot of the shared body stuff. It's not like voice over is expensive.

People twist everything Stein says to Jax into some racist remark tho. It's no wonder he keeps his mouth shut now.

That natural athleticism.

New episode today (for non-Canucks):

Season 1: episode 11 "The Magnificent Eight"

Spoiler

- Promo for this week's episode.

He has improved. He is also a sexist and an ageist nowadays.

 

[ZeroX03]

I like Stein. He's funny

 

[Joni]

I like Stein. He's funny

But he beat you!

 

[LyleLanley]

I haven't watched this show at all except for The Flash and Arrow crossover episodes, is this any good?

 

[Joni]

It is something that gives some good fun moments, although it doesn't always makes sense. It is a fun show, but the quality does switch. It is mainly good if you like Sara, Snart and consorts.

 

[Chase17]

Here we go. Better late than never.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Amazing how Heat Wave is all of a sudden the most mature & level headed of the group.

Edit* Cold not playing around.

 

[Parch]

I was wondering when the Time Masters were going to actually...you know....use time to stop the gang.

Is this going to be the trend now? They'll eventually wrap up the Savage chase and spend most of the episodes running from the time cops now.

 

[Chase17]

Snart quick to the draw.

So this episode is happening since we couldn't just hang in the ship.

 

[Effect]

I wonder if the words "Don't screw up the timeline" actually is translating for them to be "Screw up the timeline as much as possible".

 

[Chase17]

Ray cares about the timeline just about as much as Barry.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

OMG MR.WAYNE BATMA-


I'm sorry I had to lol.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

I wonder if the words "Don't screw up the timeline" actually is translating for them to be "Screw up the timeline as much as possible".

To the crew, that means YOLO.

This just makes me want a new Red Dead game ;_;

 

[Freddy=Legend]

I honestly feel like this series is basically a bunch of actors & filmmakers came together deciding they wanted to have fun playing around in a dozen different settings & a network gave them a time slot for the insanity.

Not that I'm complaining.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Hex telling them like it is.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

lol @ Stein being all "the hell with the mission."

 

[ZeroX03]

That's what happened. They wanted a spin off with a bunch of actors they liked.

 

[Freddy=Legend]

Jax always getting stuck in awful situations.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Why they gotta do that to a brother? Ain't that some shit -_-'

 

[Freddy=Legend]

I am a little disappointed in Hex so far. I was hoping we'd get to really see him in action, but he's not really all that vital to the episode.

Edit* They really gonna do Mick dirty like that?

 

[BLOODED_hands]

H.G. Wells?! That's nifty.

The Pilgrim sounds badass. Will she be a jobber too?

Everyone's a jobber in the Arrowverse...

 

[Chase17]

Decent filler episode.

 

[Korigama]

So NOW they think of having someone go kill the crew's younger selves. Was admittedly amused by the Terminator reference in the preview.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Jonah Hex looks pretty cool.

 

[Xemnas89]

I assumed they were going a different direction with the Wells name drop although I guess there's no reason why Harrison Wells couldn't be related to him in this world.

 

[ZeroX03]

#1.12 "Last Refuge" Promo

So NOW they think of having someone go kill the crew's younger selves. Was admittedly amused by the Terminator reference in the preview.

That could have catastrophic effects on the timeline, hence why it's a last resort.

 

[BrokenFiction]

That wasn't as bad an episode as I thought it would be. Hex criminally under used. Loved the costumes, especially the Sharon Stone/Quick and the Dead vibe I was getting off of Caity Lotz. Even the town looked good. One of the better episodes for sure.
