Gary’s missing nipple not only came back, literally, but is also plot-relevant rather than just a throwaway joke. That’s some forward thinking on the part of the writers.

Do you consider Rory moonlighting as the best-selling author of erotic science fiction to be awesome? Because I do. It’s hilarious and also awesome. Now to see if the writers can figure out a way to make that relevant to the plot.

Not so awesome is Nate+Zari. I am just not buying it. Those two just have no romantic chemistry.

I don’t know how anyone could possibly complain about this show jumping the shark.

This show is a bunch of sharks riding a shark, jumping legions of sharks while sharks fall from the sky.

As I tell people, you pretty much know what you’re getting when you watch a CW show. So either enjoy the ride or don’t watch.

I thought the best bit was going to be Gideon’s cheerful announcement of the Waverider’s imminent demise. Then they showed us Gary’s demon nipple. Just when you think Gary’s nipple is the height of marvelous ridiculousness, the show brings in the long-feared Tabitha, a.k.a. the Fairy Godmother. And then she and Ray Palmer lock lips.

Zari is going to be mother of dragon[Del]s[/Del], isn’t she?

The Pooka reminded me of a Pakuni (from Land of the Lost).

I was right, Zari is going to be mother of dragon[del]s[/del], but it’s present kid Zari rather than future adult Zari. How is this going to tie into the main arc?

Gary wants to be a Legend, and he certainly screws up enough for one. However his ambitions are just so small. He had all that power in the form of, at first, a demon nipple then a fairy godmother, and his most ambitious act was to form a book club. Whereas when Mick teamed up with the fairy godmother, he had her turn everyone into puppets.

Tabitha foisted her fairy godmother curse on Nora, which was an unexpected twist. The former looked much, much better in black while the fairy godmother gown certainly didn’t do anything for Nora.

Mona’s lycanthropy actually turns out to be plot-relevant. First, Wolfie bites off Gary’s demon nipple. Then Neray uses her to convince everyone to download his evil app. The wolf effect is still pretty bad though.

Speaking of the book club, the book was “The Collector” with an author’s name of “Neil Lachance”. “The Collector” was actually written by John Fowles. Anybody have an idea what this was all about?

That was a much better finale than a certain other show that also had a dragon in it. Granted, that other show’s dragon was much better animated, but that’s only because they had a much bigger budget.

Legends are still throwing shade at their own show, bringing back Vandal Savage in hell. He’s actually a nice guy if you get to know him, and if you can get past that whole “immortal mass murderer” thing. They’re also still throwing shade on the other shows for being excluded from the crossover. The Monitor showed up at end and shook his head at their antics as if to say, “Good thing I excluded them that last time we saved the Multiverse.” Then he started munching on popcorn. “Maybe I can find a use for them in the coming Crisis.”

So Zari has changed the future and her own personal timeline. Without an A.R.G.U.S.-led anti-metahuman pogrom, her brother still has the Air Totem, is never killed, and it’s he who joins the Legends. Does this mean Tala Ashe is leaving the show? Zari is still around, but she’s undoubtedly different now.

Interestingly silly finale that was at the same time entertaining. They have almost eliminated the 4th wall, they might as well take the next step next year and be done with it.

The season 4 finale was, in fact, the last episode of _Legends_ this year. The show is not in the CW’s fall lineup, but rather will return in 2020. The presence of the Monitor in the finale indicates that the Legends will be included in the crossover. How can this be when the crossover happens at the end of the year? The CW has [announced](https://tvline.com/2019/05/16/arrowverses-crisis-on-infinite-earths-crossover-schedule-legends/) that the crossover will take place in five parts over two quarters. In other words, both _Legends_ and _Batwoman_ will be included and there’ll be a cliffhanger in December, to be resolved when the shows resume (or start in the case of _Legends_) early next year.

That was a fun finale. The Heyworld commercial with Sara as Supergirl and Gary as Flash was funny.

I was finally starting to like Zari, and now she’s erased. I hope not permanently.

I read an interview which said that the actress will be back, but not as the Zari we know.

This is good, 'cause \*damn \*is she hot.

I’ll admit I teared up a bit at that scene.

So it looks like next season is going to be about the worst of the worst coming back from hell. I would love if Savage got resurrected only to come back as a good guy.

Baby dragon is still out there right? Maybe she’ll be a dragon rider. I’m guessing part of the plot next season will be Nate realizing that something is off with the timeline and trying to bring old Zari back.
