A dark episode but I really liked it.
I do agree with other who said Vixen needs to do more with her powers.

Some of us wait, some of us act.
I'm hoping Citizen Steel stays on the team for as long as possible. I'm okay with Ray retiring from the team since Citizen Steel's character is kinda like the new Ray.
Nick Zano is doing an okay job as Nate Heywood, but he's no Brandon Routh. I like Routh and his Ray Palmer is a fun character. And I like the comic book Atom a lot more than Steel.
That name Citizen Steel is kind of stupid. I remember the original Steel from the '70s. Gerry Conway seemed to plunder the Shield, Captain America, Wolverine and the Six Million Dollar Man to come up with his Hank Heywood character. And then Wolfman and Perez took some of that for their Cyborg. Calling him Commander Steel just made the similarity to Captain America more obvious.
Maybe with Vixen's spirit beasts the producers have learned their lesson. Once they do really spectacular CGI effects with a character, then we're going to expect that all the time. It's better to lower the bar. If they had done that with Firestorm for example, maybe he wouldn't be a flying, flaming creature. Comic book Firestorm, originally, didn't burst into flame--although he did fly around a bit. They could have established TV Firestorm as a guy who can't fly, who just transposes the atomic structure of elements, and has a weird haircut. CGI problem solved. Now it's too late to go back and lower expectations.
Well, that was fun...
Half über-serious dark as hell slavery stuff, half zany fun with zombies...
It's like Buffy never left.
Also, Nick Zano is a much better name for a superhero than Nate Haywood.
I like Nate a lot, more than I expected to
Wow, I wasn't expecting this level of seriousness in this episode, but they didn't shy away from Civil War-era attitudes. Good Jax episode.
Are they actually going to come back to this zombie infection thing? All that exposition at the beginning of the episode seemed important. Ray and Mick together is always great. I suppose Mick could've been using Snart's gun this whole time in addition to his own gun, but out of respect for him, he just kept it. Passing it on to Ray was a nice gesture.
Curious question: What's your opinion if they decided to add Constantine?
Has it ever been explained why if Barry goes back in time and makes ONE CHANGE you get Flashpoint, yet the Legends do this on a weekly basis and no biggie? If I had to guess I'd say they deal with predestination paradoxes (for instance the shogun was always meant to disappear, we just now know why), but I don't think its been said outright on the show.
