And it concerns me that this was accepted. John seemed ok working with him when he could, and it was his choice, now hes stuck with him it bothers me a lot. <br /><br />Hes also not learnt or grown since season 3. <br /><br />He should be off screen more than on it, mostly tidying up after the Legends. <br /><br />Im wondering if hes going to mess stuff up again like last year.

That said, I appreciate that the possibility that she was the one who murdered her team is the thing that made it real and brought her down to earth on that.<br /><br />I will say that the father-daughter bonding between Mick and Lita really worked for me. I get the sense that Mick wants his daughter to have a more wholesome and upstanding life than the one he lived, that her being interested in time-travel abuse + white-collar crime would totally freak him out, and that Mick certainly wouldn't have the tools to communicate his anxiety productively.

The Time Bureau is gone, so he isn't working for them, and he's not really studying under John anymore. If they don't get rid of him, he at least needs somebody to work for.<br /><br />On the other hand, one of the things I admire about Legends is its unique ability to unceremoniously jettison elements or characters when they get stale, and sometimes before. It's about time Gary joined the Hawks, Rip Hunter, Jax, Mona, and *sniff* Ray in sharing that fate.CoramDeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510669006452859585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-43369514546160120112020-05-10T12:08:06.495-04:002020-05-10T12:08:06.495-04:00Legends needs to let Gary go like they did Mona.

(And I love a snarky review!)<br /><br />I'd add one more complaint: "Professor" is a job title; you can't just call anyone with a PhD a professor. And since Nate doesn't seem to have any university affiliation, he really shouldn't ask people to call him that.<br /><br />(Am I being petty? Yes. But I'm not wrong!)<br /><br />The moment that drove me really crazy, though, was one you highlighted: Lita saying how cool it was that a woman was in charge. I would like the writer to produce ONE (1) real young woman Lita's age who would say that in 2020. <br /><br />I check out Dominic Purcell's Instagram fairly often, and the one contribution I have to all this theorizing is that his mother passed away in [<i>checks Google</i>] February. Maybe he was spending time with her while shooting episodes? <br /><br />In happier news: you should try Ants on a Log! It's a fun snack even without the ants.

They were prepared for a fall premiere. It's one reason we will have a full season that has shot everything that the show runners planned because it had wrapped before the shutdown happened. They may have been preparing for Mick to leave. <br /><br />@CoranDeo I can see Zari being one of the Fates as well. It will be interesting to see how they construct new Fates, if they do go that way. If Zari is a Fate she could find out that she can't bring Behrad back, which would make me sad. I like Behrad. If it's Astra, she may have to settle for bringing her mother back, but not being able to return to being the child that didn't go to Hell. Basically I can see tension with either character helping to use the Loom. <br /><br />Of course, they may go a completely different direction. I never saw Beebo vs Mallus coming, so they could pull something out of left field here, too.percysownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524512417823662079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-80940390095180036802020-05-09T18:16:10.832-04:002020-05-09T18:16:10.832-04:00Percysowner, I like your Fates theory.

But after a couple of viewings the stalling for plot convenience stuff just drove me crazy. Mostly just because they don't usually do it.<br /><br />I usually like Gary well enough, but yeah, his stupid level was cranked up to Max this week and it grated.<br /><br />I wonder if Dominic Purcell's tweet about his contract was actually the end of the situation, and the production staff was deliberately isolating him as a combination of 'just in case he walks' and leverage in negotiations with him.

It's in the "how to get your kids to eat something green" playbook. <br /><br />I admit, I think Legends likes Gary a whole lot more as a character than I do, so that is a bit of a problem with Gary centered episodes.<br /><br />I'm getting the feeling that Astra will one of a new triumvirate of Fates to work the Loom. Charlie will be one, Astra has been being groomed so she can be a Fate already so she will be the second and I'm guessing Sara will the the third. I do think they are moving toward Astra joining the team, as it were, but I don't know who, if anyone will leave the team to make room in the budget for her to do so. If Dominic Purcell hadn't publicly said that he's not leaving Legends, I would say Lita is being used as a reason for him to leave and go be a father to her. Actually Purcell said he won't quit, but since Brandon Routh didn't quit that might not be a sure thing. I think they are having problems finding something for Nate to do, so he could be expendable. I really want them to bring back Behrad, but I'm not holding my breath.<br /><br />I looked and Purcell isn't shooting anything that I can find and I don't see anything indicating that he's not available, so I don't know what the keep Mick to the side is all about. percysownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524512417823662079noreply@blogger.com
