Don't miss really miss Rip Hunter or having Vandal Savage as the driving force. These random time travel adventures every week are fun.
LoT is probably the only show I can think of that can tell an emotional and poignant story about slavery and then have most of its characters fight zombies in the 1860s in one episode. It all worked really well together too.
Really digging the cast this year. Don't miss Hunter, Cold, Hawkgirl, and Savage at all, and Steel and Vixen are great additions to the team.

Yeah, all this. I can't reiterate enough about how I was actually quite impressed with how far they were willing to go on a CW show.
I will disagree with one thing, though.
I do miss my Cold. But I'm sure we'll see him (again), soon enough...

I miss Hunter and Cold, but the Hawks/Vandal can go stay far away. Hunter was great as a foil to the Chaos of the rest of the legends and Cold.. well, He's Cold.

Wait, why never link TvTropes? Is it because it devours lives or what?
Guys what are you talking about, Captain Cold is back on the show and he's being played by Brandon Routh.
Yeah I wanted to sleep tonight but that isn't going to happen.

Good episode. I was missing the bigger picture though i wanted some glimpse of RF's plans.
Yeah, incredible episode. Powerful and it was fun seeing martial arts and powers used against zombies. Easily the best superhero show this week.
Yeah the Hawks can stay dead or wherever the hell they ended up for all eternity for all I care. Savage wasn't bad but the writers continuously coming up with ridiculous ways to prevent the team from killing him wore thin. Dat Cold and Heatwave dynamic tho. So good. I was kind of worried Vixen would end up as boring as Kendra but she kicked all kinds of ass this episode. Also glad my man Jax finally got time to shine instead of always being sidelined.

So did Rip's actor get fired or what?
Feels weird without him.
Feels weird without him.
Savage was great but his writing was sooooooooooo terrible.
99% sure he's hanging out in the old west. I think he's still listed as main cast.
Personally I don't miss him at all. He was dead weight like the Hawks.
Yeah this show has been dumb fun this year, and I'm fine with that considering the other CW Superhero shows are much more serious.
Holy shit that looks incredible.

Watched it, enjoyed it. Mick as a zombie was glorious. Now I want to know if Ray will make any adjustments to Swagtain Cold's Cold Gun? Possibly generate an ice field/shield.
Oh man..... They were lucky there wasn't any Speedster's around and transferring that infection around. It would have been Marvel Zombies all over again!

God damn. Darhk looks incredible in that Miami Vice suit.

I'm in shock. I wanna know who wrote this episode because it reminds me of the good modern Doctor Who episodes. It balanced out the emotional and absolutely ridiculous very well.
There was a ton packed into this one too. Usually this show doesn't handle the B and C plotlines very well, but this might have been the first time that it all clicked in place. Jax seeing the horrors of slavery, Stein facing his fear, Ray finding a new role, Sara dealing with the pressure of leadership, etc. Nothing felt rushed.
If every episode was like this one, it would be top of the pack for DC comic shows.

I thought that one was pretty good. It's nice to see the show tackle heavier topics this season.
I do miss Cold, but Hunter can stay gone forever for all I care and the Hawk peopleSavage being gone make the show 500% better.

Ah, that would explain it. This one was tight as a drum. No wasted time and all the subplots got juggled well.
Yes actually, it was co-written with Ray Utarnachitt who wrote a S1 episode of The Flash hahahahaha.
I checked the writers during the episode to see if either of them were black, that was not the case.

Really didn't expect this show to deal with racism before that Timeless show.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Guggenheim is on fire so far this season.
The episode worked because it gave everyone a plotline that made sense and moved them forward as characters. The fact that they also did this in the most ridiculous genre mashup ever of Time Travel, Superheroes, Zombies, and Slavery is a feat that at a conceptual level will be hard to top, let alone get as right as this.
Plus, Jax getting to set a plantation on fire and watch it burn is just sweet icing on the whole thing.

Impressed they managed handle slavery that well during a zombie ep, and Jax watching the plantation burn was cathartic.

He's been re-cast for this episode. There were WWII vets alive in the eighties. People generally live more than forty years.

It's strange how much Civil War era Mississippi looks like Feudal Japan.
Wait until it turns out to be really close to 2046 Star City.

So the Atom is really over...? I find it strange that he wont get his Armor/suit back and just become Cold number 2.
To be continued I guess...
I doubt that he probably get a new suit somewhere down the line. Maybe travel into the future and grab one or some shit.
