Wow.

Legends of Tomorrow takes the cake.

This is one of the best episodes in Arrowverse, ever. LOT has been a wild card ever since its first season, with a weak start and middle, but a great second half, and one of the better finales. But this was just awesome.

You guys know how I compare the Flash to goofy old comic shows? Well, LOT goes even further, it's like an actual comic book put to reality. I mean, where would a logical person find sense in bringing together Reverse-Flash, Damien Darhk and Merlyn to, basically, just stand around together looking cool? Who'd ever think of ever trying to do a "villain team-up" like in those cheesy, silly comics?

But LOT does it, and it's suddenly compelling, bringing great action and character moments for guys who needed it, like Merlyn and Darhk. How did they get Merlyn and brought him to 1927? Who cares, he's here, quipping with Eobard and Damien. We are in pure comic book silliness territory now. Heck, I'd have more Darhk action, please, Eobard has been stealing the show from him at every meeting of theirs. But then again, he's the Reverse-Flash, at his greatest, making me wonder why he lets the team leave, despite showing how easily he could have killed them all. Perhaps they are important to the timeline.

On that note, Letscher remains one of my favourite actors in all DCTV, his Eobard Thawne is fantastic, and incredibly reminiscent of the bastard from the comics. For all of Wellsobard's coolness, he still felt like a cuddly, all-knowing, (secretly abusive) dad. Letscher brings out Professor Zoom as he's supposed to be.

Miller's cameo was good, as an idea, but eeeeeh, Snart sure sounds like a whiny asshole in Mick's mind. :) Speaking of Mick, I'm still not sure whom does he make the best team with. Before, I stopped at Ray Palmer, but maaaan, this episode's Amaya and Mick team-up was just perfect. Seems like headbuttin's becoming Mick's weapon of choice.

For a newcomer in the cast, Nate remains a very strong character, and I liked his team-up with Ray. They really do feel like long-lost brothers.

Overall, the Reverse-Flash alone would make this episode superb, and there was so much good stuff beside him. One of my favourites.

Lucas will probably say that Rip needs to add tons of CGI characters to his film by the time of the 80s. Oh, don't you dare talk shit about Lucas, Xandermcc.
