One of the biggest issues I have with Legends is how utterly appalling an actor Jax is.

Any of his ‘emotion’ scenes set around Stein’s exit have just been painful to watch.

Yep, still awful - he bit where he's saying goodbye to Young Stein, his emotion face consists of biting his lip and frowning, just dreadful rofl

Assuming that Ep9 is the mid-season finale for these then? Back in January? Flash one was very good.

Will looks like you will not have to worryJax has left the show. No more Firestorm. Loved the handling of Stein's demise with his younger self basically finishing the story. Now we have Citizen Cold and John Constantine on board. Still if you are facing a Demon who else would you want?
As for this weeks Flash. Not bad but surely He could have cleaned that crime scene??

Jax hasn't left for good though, he's back later in the series.

I thought the same about Flash - he could've had the whole lot cleaned, body dumped outside or hidden and totally relaxed by the fire before they'd even come through the door. Though it's not the first time they've 'tweaked' how fast he is to suit the storyline...

Also what happens when they do the autopsy and take of his wig to find a big exposed brain smile

The US scheduling has been tweaked. Presumably to get "Black Lightning" in. Supergirl will return in the New Year but then it will give way to Legends until they complete their run in March/April. So starting February 12th We will have

Monday, Legends of Tomorrow

Tuesday The Flash, Black Lightning.

Thursday Arrow.

But to me it looked like they showed you him thinking that through, and deciding against it; for some reason.

They'll also find he's been moved, didn't die by being stabbed, etc

Back into the Arrowverse 2018 Crossover. Loved the Theme on arriving in "Smallville". Looks like Victor Garber and Robbie Amell are back in one of the episodes could we see "Firestorm"?? that could be an emotional punch in the gut.

Caught the 100th ep of Flash yesterday. Watched it for maybe 10-15 mins as I flicked through, or something, adverts maybe. It was more time travel stuff, which is a sure fire way to make me lose interest these days. 5 series though, it's lasted! Pretty darn strong when the film series lumbers from one disaster to the next.
Aquaman may change that. biggrin

I’m enjoying Flash and Legends at the moment (the latter certainly helped by the two lead blondes getting all lezzy), Arrow really is on it’s last legs though. In fact, it’s last legs were shot out and burned, replaced with cybernetic legs and now those are on the verge of collapse.

Still looking forward to the crossover.

I used to watch them all until last year and then dropped legends and Supergirl. just same old and did not enjoy them. I thought I would not say the same about flash and Arrow but dropped Flash last week as it was just getting boring.

And feeling the same about Arrow at the moment. With so much choice on TV (just got into Nightflyers) this is not keeping my interest at all like it did a few years ago.

The big problems are the lack of ideas - they burned through all the decent plots and villains ages ago - and in the case of Arrow a definite softening of the show as time went on.

It was pretty solid and dark at the beginning and became more kids Saturday morning stuff as it went on. The others were pretty soft to begin with and Legends particularly so.

Plus plots that have painted writers into a corner.

These days it's all series long story arcs around things that should barely merit an episode.

I think that's the problem with series that are 22 eps long. It's one of the problems with Agents of SHIELD. Marvel got it right by having 10 ep series for their netflix stuff.
Not seen any Daredevil, but from vids i've watched, they gone through most of the major DD stories, in 30 eps. Flash has five years of 22?
Not just an issue with superhero stuff though, for me on the whole, most 22 ep length series are pretty boring and repetitive, the shorter series (HBO/AMC) tend to be better all round

Legends Of Tomorrow is a definite for me. It goes places other Superhero shows daren't. The Flash is coming back and Arrow still has a story to tell. The Flash Forwards are something new. Have to wait and see on those.

I gave up with all of these in the end, could never get in to Legends or Supergirl but quite enjoyed Flash and Arrow for the first few seasons. Got bored with all the self loathing by the lead characters, and particularly Flash where most of the series was about trying to save girlies life, get over it and do something proper.
