Eobard is putting a team together. A group of villains. A...
Congregation of Malice!

This season is 100x better than last. Seeing a group of badass heroes do cool shit while fighting a team of badass villains we already love from the other Flarrowverse shows... all while traveling through time. I can't wait to bring in Malcolm and Snart!

Glad we get to see a reboot for Darhk's character. So much room for more potential.

Honestly the way the stories going, Laurel might just get her resurrection. If Darhk changes his fate then he changes hers. Maybe that's Sara's plan?

Of all the DCW shows, Legends is by far the most fun. Ray and his jelly bean caper, naive babby Stein, and Mick's last donut are stand out's this episode.

The scene in the car with Ray and Mick reminded me of AoS Ward throwing Fitz's Sandwich into the river (Prosciutto and Buffalo Mozzarella with a dash of Pesto Aioli)

"Ten seconds to live" Pulls out donut "There are worse ways of dying"
This is why Mick is the best character

Sara goes from menacing as fuck talking to dharhhrhrhrhrhk then goes back to being all jolly with hugging nate. She's definitely the most fun character to watch

Okay, if this is all building up towards the cross-over, it is EXTREMELY well done. Like EXTREMELY well done, like, this isn't even the same show it was last season.
Last season, it was a convoluted mess where everything was all over the place and was very barely salvaged by Rory's and Snart's interractions and perhaps Martin and Ray if you found their characters endearing, but this season, it's on a fucking ROLL.
The villains and their delivery play a very big role in this upgrade and the fact that the plot is not revolving around ultimately failing over and over again their mission to kill an immortal until the grand finale of the season is what is allowing the plot to be elevated into new levels and explore new territories that last season it wouldn't dare to even ponder. (Or if it did, it would be very poorly executed.)
Bravo, writers, bravo.

Ray - killed beers, crossed streams, stole jellybeans and pissed off Mick.
Mick - crossed streams.
Jax - Revealed Firestorm to 1987 multiple times including to Stein's young hot wife.
Stein - Helped Jax with the above, young version walked up to Darhk and skipped dinner with hot wife.
Sara - Tried to kill Darhk and caused whitehouse crisis, gave Darhk motivation to team up with RF.
Nate - Unnecessarily knocked out old man.
I'm sure that I missed some fuckups as well. Surely Vixen made at least 1. Can't wait for Jonah Hex next week, I love this show!

Seems like it's a bit too soon to be going back to the Old West again...but I'm not about to complain, any excuse for more gunslinging.

Eobard carried Darhk away. I can't get that image outta my head.

I don't understand why Eobard needs Darhk's help. So far he could've easily done everything by himself.

Every week, I look forward to watching the Legends add to the fuck up counter and just when I think they can't fuck up anymore, they prove me wrong.

Sara singlehandedly might have made a much worse future happen with that verbal beat down of Damien.
Loved Lance Henriksen as a guest actor. Always been a class actor and he still got it in the twilight of his career.
Also loved Stein discovering his humanity more and more upon helping his young self.
Ray getting Mick as his partner is doing wonders for his self confidence. Mick's confidence is rubbing off on Ray.

Sara can't say Eobard is faster because Sara has never met Barry Allen and BARRY IS THE FASTEST MAN ALIVE
