I'm glad Ava gets to have hobbies and be just as weird as the rest of the crew.
Did they re-use the high school set from The Flash? Did Mick go to the same school as Barry and Iris?
I have to question what sense it makes sending the two members of the team with powers and a supersuit away from dealing with the telekinetic serial killer. Nate couldn't have just steeled up and broken down the door? Or Ray blast it?
When we were visiting Constantine's house, I was kind of excited for a second thinking it might be the House of Mystery...I really have to stop expecting major stuff from the comics to turn up at this point.
So what stopped Freddie's mom from becoming an Encore? She only had one kill to her name and didn't become the worst of the worst to where she would warrant getting resurrected? Or with Freddie disowning her she lost the will to continue killing?
Now that I think about it, does Behrad have an equivalent to Zari's costume she only wore for, like, one crossover?
Poor Constantine.
There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
"The Loom of Fate"? Wasn't that in the Wanted movie? Anyway, same story again. The actual Legends stuff is super fun and Tala Ashe just rules but, once again, the Constantine stuff feels like a completely different and much less fun show.
Check out my blog, Because Everyone Else Has One, for my regularly updated movie reviews.
While I agree about the show's de facto dichotomy, I actually prefer the Constantine stuff (even with Gary, who actually isn't useless here). The other stuff is just nuts and should be on another Earth. Finally, though I know it was done for laughs, the Marie Antoinette history lesson was pretty bad.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
I know it's been awhile now that we've known Brandon Routh/Ray was not going to be around after this season, but reading the lame excuses as to why is just annoying. The producers spouting off about "people growing apart" and the Waverider only being a "halfway home" makes no sense when Mick and Sara have been there just as long.
If they feel the cast is too big, they might as well dump Charlie since they already ruined her.
reason why they're being cut is because of the show's budget being reduced
On one storyline, we have a goofy bunch kidnapping a beheaded, cursing frenchwoman who has a magical perfume that makes people attracted to her.
On the other, we have ghosts of the past hauting people and somebody literally choking to death on his own blood.
Only Legends can make this mixture work.

Was Marie Antoinette actually evil? I thought the general consensus was that she was a victim of circumstance more then anything else, but pretty far from a historical "bad guy" who we would expect to end up down under, unless you were a French person during the Revolution. I think that kind of came off during her talk with Zari, but it was still hard for me to believe it any more then I did that terrible French accent.
Okay, feel free to clarify me on proper history, but were the black French people during the Revolution era...?
Is Constantine's relationship with Natalie and how that led to what happened to Astra consistent with the Constantine show?
I get the marshmallow guy was a bit of a pompous social media star, but I don't think just being Zari's boyfriend warranted Nate punching him.
The Austrian-born queen and her husband weren't evil and were better-than-average people as monarchs go. Ironically, if Louis XVI had been tougher, the French Revolution may never have happened during his reign.
BTW, she never said "let them eat cake*" - she was known to give the poor money from her own personal funds. Now she had been extravagant as a young princess and queen regarding the royal funds and loved to party, but settled down after the birth of her first child. It doesn't make either one a saint, mind you, but they certainly didn't deserve the guillotine.
* "cake" was a cheap form of bread
Not in prominent positions, at any rate.Okay, feel free to clarify me on proper history, but were the black French people during the Revolution era...?

I think it may have only been a throw away comment, but didn't the Legends meet Napoleon once before?
I didn't feel like there was any point to having Courtney Ford play Marie Antoinette. A couple seasons ago, they had some of the cast also play historical characters, but nothing really came from that. Maybe it's just a cost saving thing.
Zari is dating a guy who dresses like a S'mores? I really hope the 40's won't actually be like that.
I'd do a comparison between what she wore during her transmission and what she was wearing during Oliver's funeral to see if it's the same outfit, but...ehh...
