Did anyone else find the premise of the episode kind of morbid? Like, it's attempt to prevent the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand but with the intention of still letting it happen and thus ensuing WWI. Like, I dunno, it felt like it was kind of trivializing a man's life and the impact it has, even as a fixed point. And then we get into a game show of people constantly dying trying to prevent it and people cheering and betting on it. It just felt like a bit much.
Nate is a historian and bro, not an artist.
Any other comic book show would probably have thrown in a bunch of cameos in a bar of time travelers, but instead we get...people in various degrees of eccentric clothing. Also seems like time travel is far more commonplace than you would expect.
I guess I'm not surprised time travelers would take bets on whether people could change the timeline, but how many people were there to actually save the Archduke for altruistic reasons to prevent WWI, how many were just doing it for the challenge, and how many were just doing it for the heck of it?
Behrad and Astra are now all over each other, which just leaves Spooner and Zari to bond as the remaining teammates who haven't really had much screentime or focus together, at least that I remember.
So Spooner is asexual, which I guess means she's probably going to be the one single Legend while everybody else is in a relationship (or just waiting for their next one like NuZari at this point). Although didn't they mention last season that she'd had sex? I guess the way she described it didn't sound like it was that enjoyable an experience.
I see Gary speaks alien.
Pretty useful of Sara's newfound alien immortality to let her keep live, dying, and repeating. Although some of those deaths were pretty cartoonishly comedic even by the shows' standards.
I appreciate Ava's attempts to make sure Gwyn is happy, but unless Alan joins the crew of Gwyn/Matt Ryan leaves, I'm not sure it's ultimately going to work out for Gwyn and Alan.
"...Or whichever pronoun they prefer" Ava trying to be progressive about God. Also, quoting Lin Manuel Miranda is always a treat.
It's kind of surreal that we finally see Thawne's real face for the first time in forever and on the very last show he used it on, which I guess is fitting in its own way.
Did Sara forget about seeing Thawne in Crisis on Earth-X? He was wearing a different face, but still. Actually, is this supposed to explain how Thawne survived Black Flash and ended up being free to menace Barry in all his subsequent appearances? Eventually he gets tired of being a Fixed Point guardian and just leaves? Have the writers thought that far ahead or do they only care about their own internal continuity?
Time for the Legends to fight their Robot Selves.
