Do people think there’s some kind of possible connection between “head Snart” and the person showing up in the last minute of this week’s “Arrow”? ---

Maybe they’re doing a ghost of Christmas past theme. Regarding Gideon, I suppose since future Flash put the secret message on board, he could have installed Gideon too. When is the question. I bet she’s got some secret programming that hasn’t been activated yet. ---

Not to put to fine a point on it - but it is a timeship. Any amount of time subjective time could have passed. The secret message from future Barry shows that he and Rip know each other in Barry’s future, so Barry may have given Gideon to him. Heck, this Gideon may be from ‘before’ the Gideon in the hidden room. ---

It’s back. Okay episode, except for Rip’s accent. That was cringeworthy. The secret origin of George Lucas was mildly amusing. Lots of self referential quips. Palmer and Steele remembering that Lucas inspired them but not having powers made no sense. Looks like head Snart might be gone. ---

I didn’t mind Rip’s (terrible) accent, because Rip Hunter shouldn’t have an upper-class British accent. They really just need to bite the bullet and come up with a hard-and-fast (if arbitrary) new limitation for Firestorm–they can only merge once a day/week/whatever because…um…science or whatever. So many problems could be solved by Firestorm and the hoops they’re going through to keep Jax and the Prof from merging are getting stoopid (brain-surgery? Really?\*) Firestorm could easily crispy-fry two-thirds of the Legion of Doom (I don’t know how skilled this version of Zoom is (which version of Zoom _is_ he anyway? From Douche-Harrison’s world or what?) \*When did Heat Wave become (literally) retarded? He was always a big dumb thug, but literally everyone of normal intelligence understands “Doctor of Nuclear Physics does not equal Medical Doctor”. ---

I rather enjoyed the self-referential commentary on the lack of menace on the part of the Big Bad of Season One. Captain Hunter, I mean, film student Phil shouldn’t blame his actor; Vandal Savage really was underwhelming. Especially, as Rip pointed out, when compared to the Legion of Doom, who project menace just standing around. ---

He was always a big dumb thug, but literally everyone of normal intelligence understands “Doctor of Nuclear Physics does not equal Medical Doctor”. What happened to everything the Time Masters taught him? I think a much more interesting storyline would be “What does a big dumb thug do when he’s been given immense knowledge?” Also, I was really hoping that the episode would have ended with Gideon playing The Phantom Menace. ---

I’m sure being pushed into the garbage pit left an impression on Lucas for a long, long time. 😃 ---

During Season 1 Len Snart told Sarah that the first day he’d been on the Waverider he’d cased it to see if there was anything worth stealing. “There wasn’t.” He would’ve hit the ceiling if he’d known he’d missed the Spear of Destiny. Even if he hadn’t known what it was, if he’d found anything in that good of a hiding place, he would’ve taken it on principle. And wouldn’t it have been fun to see the look on Rip Hunter’s face when he found the Spear missing. I can just picture him grumbling, _“Snart.”_ ---

I did a double-take when Gideon listed George Lucas’ birthdate. He and my mom were born on the same day … 75 miles apart (Modesto and Sacramento, respectively). ---

The various members of the Legion of Doom having a scenery-chewing competition was so much fun. Reverse Flash’s plan for the Spear of Destiny actually made a lot of sense, as well as what the other two want to do with it. The reason RF kept running off also made sense, and was entirely consistent with what we’ve already seen of time travel via the Speedforce. It strikes me that, despite the writers seemingly throwing random crap up at the screen to see what sticks, this show might actually be the most carefully plotted out of all the CW shows. Martin Stein should really have told Lily to hook up with the folks at S.T.A.R. Labs. Despite some recent additions, they still need the brainpower over there. ---

Usually when we see people with powers learning to cooperate after squabbling at first, it’s the heroes. Fun to see it done with the villains. ---
