I hope so, otherwise it's a waste of a good casting job for a one off.

Same here. But he might come back in season finale.

Yeah, that Wells reference really threw me off for a second. I was like, "oh shit a Wells?! Oh wait, H.G. Wells -_- That Wells and not our beloved Wells."
Yeah, Hex would be a good addition to the team but then he would get reduced to jobber status and being a idiot nearly all the time. Do we really want that GAF?
It seems a hint towards a somewhat closed timeline. H.G. Wells always survived, he always had some sort of advanced encounter to become H.G. Wells.
And at least show that the CW can do 'ugly', even though he still looked very stunning.
Those Hunters looked hilariously out of place, not just because they were bounty hunters from the future, but because they looked like dudes who just finished a BMX extreme sports event.
Yeah it was a filler episode but I'm warming to them. It's sort of a throwback style of storytelling. We're so used to serialised comic book storylines and canon and consistent fictional universes that it's hard to get out of the mindset that everything has to be linked to past and future episodes.
LoT reminds me of Star Trek and Stargate SG-1. Go to a new place every episode, do some cool shit, and then leave like nothing happened. We got some great outfits, a badass supporting character, and some fun Western tropes. How could you not be satisfied with that?

It was a cool episode. But i still dunno anything about Jonah Hey. What is he? Who is he? What are his powers?
Would love to see more of him though.

Creepy cowboy is an effective superpower.
Jonah Hex is just your average, run of the mill Legend of the West. Yes, he should've been the one dueling.

With all the costumes, why did Stien have the same glasses? Stuck out pretty badly for the period.
The new Faith (from Mirror's Edge) doesn't look bad in real life. Seems like a tough cookie to crack.
This show needs to figure out what it wants to do. Just an episode ago they're telling us how the time masters sent some formidable foes after them because Rip and friends keep screwing up with time. Those hunters are defeated in a few minutes. Then they do the same thing this episode except with a lady who's going after their past selves. Ugh.

Bad guys with guns actually shooting compared to the previous episode

Was I the only one who noticed Ray killed a guy by being a human bullet? Also the fight starts and everyone is standing out in the open talking. I think Hex was just there to remind everyone how bad a time traveler Rip is. Because of Rip an entire town died! Maybe this is all a set-up and when rip runs into his younger self, he'll be reminded why he became a time traveler in the first place, and then become the best time traveler ever!
Also for next episode
Just look for the clues and it will be obvious.
Also for next episode
I think it is just going to be right wing propaganda. The villain is lady bounty hunter, who specializes in killing babies.
Yes that scene of Atom ripping through a guy, seemed very out of character.
I'm just going to assume this is a wonky joke.
Would love some 3-4 episode miniseries.

Yes that's a joke, but you should still keep an eye out for right wing propaganda.

Okay so this might just be me, but is this the worst group of superheroes to ever face any sort of disaster ever? I mean they haven't accomplished shit so far, in fact, it seems like they've only made every single thing they've touched worse. I mean their definition of success seems to be: "At least we managed to undo our fuckup from earlier in the episode and now we're back at status quo." I don't even know how they're holding all these L's do they have a secret extra team member designated to hold all those L's?
I was going to summarize but then I'd realize I'd wall of text my first post in this O.T and that's not cool. Suffice to say I think this episode is the first one they can call a legit success and it was all utterly meaningless. It's kind of amazing at how much these 9(8) superheroes are struggling to kill one, Eastern European looking, ancient Egyptian asshole.
I also can't help but roflol every single time they roll the end of episode team battle scene that's supposed to trick you into thinking these scrublords are anything but the scrubbiest of scrubs.

That's exactly why Rip chose them. Not good enough to be historically relevant.

Fun episode
Assuming that was Rory's younger self that chick was about to blast, wouldn't that cause a singularity if he dies?
Rory grows up to become Chronos, who himself apparently has major involvement in fixing time and all that stuff.. Being a hunter and all..
If you kill his or any of their younger selves, it's going to cause a singularity or something major..
They have a major effect on the timeline..

I've given up on trying to make sense of time travel in the Arrowverse. It's utter nonsense but I love it.
Time travel in anything is nonsense

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The Arrowverse is all about failure.
I'm sure the only reason the universe exists is because some Anti-Monitor-type failed to destroy it eons ago.

Even from the start, in the first season of Arrow both Oliver and Merlyn sort of failed. Neither fully thwarted the other.
I can't help but love Rip's intro speech.
"In 2166 an immortal tyrant named Vandal Savage conquered the world and murdered my wife and child. I have assembled an elite team to hunt him throughout time and stop his rise to power."
If that's not the greatest premise for a TV show of all time I don't know what is.

So. Are the Time Masters just straight up evil now? I feel like they're entering twirly mustache phase.
I don't think anyone on this show is all that good, everyone is a time stream ruining asshole.
The fun thing is that the loss in victory is there in all the DC shows. Constantine got cancelled before taking down the bad guy, Liv moore doesn't end positive in either season, Gotham gives the city to a major villain. The end of Arrow season 2 might be the only place where there is a victory without direct consequences.
I mean he lost Moira along the way, and the city took a fair bit of damage. In the end it was the cleanest win at least.
That at least happened before. Compared to the earthquake after defeating Malcolm.
Barry didn't even get the win over Thawne. Barry was getting wrecked before Eddie came and saved the day.
Poor Rip, he might stop Vandal Savage but he's not getting his wife and kids back.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Jonah Hex didn't do a damn thing in this episode. It was sorta bizarre. You would think they would milk as much as they could out of that character cameo, but they never showed him actually doing anything cool. He could have been the sharpshooter that backed up Ray during the first confrontation with the gang. But it was a fun episode and the big group fight was a step up from last week's.
maybe they are afraid of zombies and bury everyone asap
