> [@bordelond](#): > > Aren’t they, at worst, morally ambiguous? My son has a recent-ish comic (maybe 2015?) of those two teaming up with Spiderman to knock off some other baddie. And that’s ignoring the whole Marvel / DC thing (Dino & Moon are Marvel; Legends are DC). What are the chances we might get the [Time Trapper](https://comicvine.gamespot.com/time-trapper/4005-25998/). Ok, I know the chances are somewhere between a _snowball’s chance in hell_ and a _cold day in hell_, but I can dream. ---

There wasn’t just dinosaurs. It looked like some of the buildings were from the future. There are ton of DC heroes from the Far Future they could bring in. ---

Great season finale. My only disappointment was that they couldn’t find a way to have Sarah make out with herself. …don’t tell me I was the only one thinking it. ---

But is Rip Hunter really gone? I truly don’t know if there will be a plan to pull him back in next season. Plus, he spent most of this season away from the team. ---

> [@cochrane](#): > > You mean Rip? Yeah, he checked out. He felt the Legends learned all they needed to learn from him and that Sara was more than a capable leader. Yeah sorry. Had Rick and Morty on the brain. 🙂 So yeah I got the feeling he was gone for good this time. Only so many times they can play that card. ---

> [@Terminus\_Est](#): > > Hmmm, that actually works for Snart since Thawne could take him away right before Rip recruits him. Now how about Damien Dhark? I’m not sure about Damien’s timeline - Thawne picked him up in 2016 after he’d been defeated by the Arrow, right? (I don’t watch Arrow) > [@Quimby](#): > > There wasn’t just dinosaurs. It looked like some of the buildings were from the future. There are ton of DC heroes from the Far Future they could bring in. I hope they can undo the whole situation - otherwise they have to deal with the fact that when their ship crashed, they probably killed dozens of people. ---

> [@Andy\_L](#): > > I’m not sure about Damien’s timeline - Thawne picked him up in 2016 after he’d been defeated by the Arrow, right? (I don’t watch Arrow) Thawne tried to recruit Darkh in 1987, when the latter was wearing the same _Miami Vice_ getup that he was wearing when Sara left him behind in the finale. Dahrk initially rebuffed Thawne’s offer, but he thought better of it after Sara told him his ultimate fate. I’m not seeing how depositing a later Dhark into an earlier timeline doesn’t lead to duplication of Darhks. ---

The dark interpretation is that Sarah got the fun of killing one version of Dhark (the one that was just about to rebuff Thawne) while still leaving a Dhark to maintain the time line. ---

> [@Andy\_L](#): > > The dark interpretation is that Sarah got the fun of killing one version of Dhark (the one that was just about to rebuff Thawne) while still leaving a Dhark to maintain the time line. 😃 That also explains why Sara was comfortable leaving Darkh behind like that. ---

I think we can all agree that S2 was much better than S1. It’s possibly the best show in the Berlantiverse right now. It’s certainly the most _fun_. Looking back, what do you think were the most awesomest moments of the past season? For reference, I consulted the episode summaries on Wikipedia: [Legends of Tomorrow - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legends_of_Tomorrow#Season_2_.282016.E2.80.9317.29) Here’s my top ten list, in chronological order. These are the moments that made be laugh out loud, clap my hands with glee, or just sit back, mouth agape: [ol] [li]The Legends are accosted by the Justice Society of America - E01 “Out of Time”[/li] [li]Martin Stein sings “Edelweiss” to a roomful of Nazis in occupied WW2 Paris - E02 “The Justice Society of America”[/li] [li]The Legends trash Ronald Reagan’s White House (twice!) - E05 “Compromised”[/li] [li]The Legends team up with the Flash, Green Arrow, and Supergirl to defeat the Dominators - E07 “Invasion!”[/li] [li]An amnesiac Rip Hunter, thinking he’s a film student, recreates the events of Season 1 as a film school project - E09 “Raiders of the Lost Art”[/li] [li]The Legion of Doom try to undo each other in chewing up the scenery - E10 “The Legion of Doom”[/li] [li]Martin Stein sings “The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)” to Apollo 13 Mission Control - E14 “Moonshot”[/li] [li]As each Legend regains their memories, they slug Mick Rory for betraying the team - E16 “Doomworld”[/li][li]Tiny Rip Hunter bakes pastries aboard the tiny _Waverider_ - E16 “Doomworld”[/li] [li]Eobard Thawne brings in the Legion of [Professor] Zoom - E17 “Aruba”[/li] [/ol] Honorable mention goes to Mick Rory’s introductory voiceover from E11 “Turncoat”: > [@](#): > > Seriously, you idiots haven’t figured this out by now? It all started when we blew up the time pigs, the Time Masters. Now history’s all screwed up, but it’s up to us to un-screw it up. But half the time we screw things up even worse. So don’t call us heroes, we’re something else. We’re legends. > > Who writes this crap anyway? ---

You could skip it and not miss any of the plot. But I’ll grant you that it was the funniest bit and perfectly encapsulates what the show has become.
