Yesterday's episode had the time-honoured cliche of the good guys persuading the offspring of the evil dictator to change sides by showing them what a total barsteward Daddy is
If the Universe is that resilient to such massive tampering then why would the Time Masters be concerned over the Legend's actions anyway?
It still doesn't make the idea of punishing tampering by more tampering any less nonsensical!
Remember when it first started and rip told them they can't do anything that could change the timeline which I'm sure everyone watching knew they would and so it's proved in pretty much every ep.
I'm enjoying the series but I don't understand why Rip thought the Time Masters would be on his side? It was only 2 episodes ago that they sent the Pilgrim after them.
I think Thursdays episode contained my favourite line of the series so far lol.
Vandal Savage: Who are you to stand up against ME, Vandal Savage, Destroyer of Empires?
Indeed. Unfortunately I inadvertently spoilered myself a few weeks ago (As I just did tonight for next week's finale. Oh well )
This series has certainly improved over the season. Weirdly it's not as light as The Flash but not as dark as The Arrow either. Really enjoyed it. Roll on Season 2; whatever they're going to do with it.
I think a weakness of the show has been it's huge cast, nine major heroes was it? Rather than a Walking Dead style of concentrating on different members each week they decided to give every person a key roll every week which leads to diluted shattered stories.
So I feel the odd loss of a hero along the way has actually been for the best. If they could off another one or two I think it would be even better.
OMG I cried at the Snart/Rory farewell scene!! (I do absolutely adore those two - we must see Snart again, we just must!)
So now we have Hourman! (I was squinting under the hood, but could see it wasn't Arrow or Arsenal - that would have been toooo complicated!) Bringing in the JSA is pretty smart - there's so many characters there? Looks like this series has legs after all...:)

Seems that was Wentworth's last scenes in the show. Read it elsewhere.

Read he will be working for the 'universe' not the show.
Hope we will see Hawkman and Hawkgirl next season. Though believe Hawkgirl may be another 'universe' character between shows.
With a Superman cast, seems we will have one heck of a support cast of heroes next year.

The Hawk characters were rubbish .. they really dragged the show down. They had pretty much the same 'power' as Savage (immortality/rebirth) and would have started on a par with him yet all they did for thousands of years was get killed by him, making him progressively stronger. 'Hawkman' was always an annoying plonker, no matter what incarnation he was in. Plus, lots of wooden acting by 'Hawkgirl' too.
All the time travel stuff was completely inconsistent in terms of what would or wouldn't change the timeline, they very obviously just made it up as they went along.
That said, the final couple of episodes were a jump in quality over most of what went before and the hawks are gone so maybe there is hope.

Both Hawks are not returning for Season Two, they've already announced that. Hourman will be a new character.

The hawk characters were rubbish (not the actors). Boring as heck and always stories about love. Yuck.
they were the worst heroes ever...she kept getting caught by savage and he was forever being killed/captured
Rather like what happens with their comic book incarnations only in those its not Vandal Savage who is their enemy but the Egyptian priest Hath-Set and his various incarnations
This show this season felt like it didn't know what it was, almost like it was a season long tryout for the writers to see what worked and what didn't and take the best bits forward into series 2
When you throw in the mythologies of rip hunter, hawkman/girl, vandal savage (and mix him up with seth too) and throw in two bad guys from the flash, one good guy from the flash and two arrow semi regulars then it's not surprising the result is not exactly a cohesive whole
Some episodes were better than others and I felt the underused firestorm and atom were the most interesting of the bunch but most episodes were underwhelming I felt
Oh well, it's only series 1. Let's hope it's like tng and a bad series 1 doesn't mean the series doesn't have potential
Will the flashpoint storyline that has just been confirmed for the Flash leak into the legends story it will be Interesting if it does
I think, given there's going to be a four show crossover, there will have to be some impact on LoT but also given that this show's operated "outside the timeline" it may not actually make any long term difference
So Sky 1 have announced start dates for the new seasons of Arrow,Flash and Supergirl but no date yet for Legends Of Tomorrow which is a concern as are they delaying it till 2017?
Comments
Well that there's the crux of the whole show though
Not really, she just would have been a cliched evil offspring character.

Leonard Snart: Leonard Snart, Robber of ATMs!
Snart.
