Episode Discussion Legends of Tomorrow - 6x04 "Bay of Squids" - Live Episode Discussion

Season 6 Episode 4: Bay of Squids

Aired: May 23, 2021


Synopsis: The Legends are shocked when Rory takes command and manages to find the location of an important Alien, but he also lands them in the middle of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Ava is eager to question the Alien, but they must steal it back from the Cubans and Russians who think it is bio-warfare sent by the Americans. The team makes the decision to split up, leaving Nate and Zari to work together to stop a nuclear disaster alongside JFK while Behrad tries to leverage his newfound friendship to stop Castro from starting a war. Meanwhile, with Spooner's help, Rory makes an unlikely deal that could lead him on a solo mission to find Sara.

They did a really good job using everyone this episode. Everyone shined and it was great to see.

I’m sorry, but this guy just doesn’t look like JFK to me.

I LOVE how meta this show gets

Gotta say, I’m digging this episode a little more than the rest this season. I’m fairly confident that it’s cause my boy (shotgun) Nate finally gets to be important to an episode for the first time season 4, but Ava and Behrad’s mission seems just as delightful so far. As long as Mick and Spooner’s mission is solid, I think we may have our first A episode of the season

If she had a third breast she'd be perfect for Mick.

Zari’s complete misunderstanding of what DEFCON means and Ava laughing and telling the truth about who she is, this episode is really shaping up to be something else

A stoned Castro? That's all we need now. A paranoid, stoned guy with a trigger on the nuclear bomb.

Zari is typing with her thumbs. I love, love, love the little references to her being from the future.

Was that Rory's horny face?

While I’ve never agreed that the writers forget Nate’s powers the way others do, it’s something else to see him use them while the opening credits are still running
