Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: The Fungus Amongus

 

The Fungus Amongus notes

 

Mick would absolutely not be unharmed by that explosion, nor would the rest of the team

We’ve obliterated Gideon’s mainframe

Bishop stole kayla’s ship

Good time for Behrad to return.  Good thing he didn’t come back during the explosion

Behrad believes the lie that you can fix an addict.

Good way to trap Kayla with the team.

Olivia Swann actually pulls off the MOST expository line of dialogue bringing everyone up to date ever.

So John’s body left behind a mushroom

So just off the cuff, John’s dead and Mick’s fine.

The CPU is obliterated and Kayla is fixing it.  Is this how Gideon becomes corporeal?

It’s kind of sweet how the show is refusing to differentiate between Lita and the eggs.

We’re still in Texas 1925

These are the same aliens that overran Bishop’s planet, aren’t they?  Is he in control of them now?

 

*** We are so screwed.

Zagrons

The fountain isn’t dead, just dying

Gary:  We just have to save the fountain slash Spooner before the armada of carrion lizards overruns the planet and kills everyone.  Easy Peasy.

And now Bishop’s plan is to get Sara to be his by killing everyone else.  Of course he has a completely new plan out of nowhere.  Again.

John isn’t dead, he’s in the mushroom

Zari is justifiably pissed at John and has no interest in his help.

Gideon:  Ahhh.  I’m back.  Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.

YOU CAN NOT THINK SARA’S THOUGHTS!

And of course his plan is for he and Sara to be the new Adam and Eve.  Oh Fuck Bishop

Timenapping a younger bishop is actually a really good idea.

They have to only do things that Sara would never do because of the stupid plot bullshit

Younger Bishop is so much more tolerable.  We pick up with him at the creation of the first Ava

Younger Bishop:  You’re a working Ava

Ava: Well, I work.  But I don’t let my work define me.

Behrad:  I spoke to John!  He IS in the mushroom!  He wants to talk to us.  And we all gotta eat him.

Man do I get where Zari is at.

John:  Sara…. Sara…..  Eat me.

John in the heavenly white version of his outfit is a look

The fountain is not just dying, it’s also decided that human beings aren’t worth protecting anymore.

It’s nice to see Mick being a hero one last time.  He’s not abandoning any of his family again

Astra really does care about John.

I love how they’re dressing the solution up in stoner language.  We are all connected

So did Bishop heal the fountain or just Spooner or what?

So we just swapped midstream and now it’s not that the fountain is dying, it just doesn’t want to help. So… is it healed?

I love Sara wanting to get married before the fight.

Sara:  What else do we need?

Ava:  I don’t know, maybe for the world not to be ending?

The wedding prep montage is Legends as its best

I feel like all of Spooner and her mom’s convo should be in Spanish

So touching and understandable that Spooner wants her mom to flee and be safe so that what she’d always thought didn’t turn out to be true.  And sweet that her mom understood.

Spooner/Astra hug!!!

Gary’s actually giving really solid advice to Ava

Having healthy love allows you to do the things that would otherwise be impossible for you to do.  Ava improvising her vows is the PERFECT encapsulation of that.

And I love that she asked Gary to walk her down the aisle.

Behrad really does know how to play

LOVE that Mick walked Sara down the aisle!  I wish we’d seen her ask him.

Kayla looks stunning in that dress.

Nate’s wedding speech is kind of perfect and amazing.

Kayla tentatively taking Sara’s hand during the vows was so sweet

How did Bishop make it night already?  I could have used a handwave explanation for that.

SO Spooner that she armed the wedding in advance

I feel like they should at least have considered the possibility of killing younger Bishop to avoid all this.

It might have been worth reminding us that these were the guys that stung Sara earlier to make the Behrad thing pop more.

Love that Sara leaped immediately to ax amputation.

Oh, so is Spooner’s power that she can swap people’s powers?  Neat

Also nice way to underscore the all connected theme.  Human connection literally defeats the aliens

Really great decision to tie the alien defeat to them finalizing the wedding by saying I do

‘Everyone was saved by the power of love almost never works.  Except we are so invested in Sara and Ava at this point that it totally does.

The fountain decided they were worth it afrter all

I did not hate seeing Bishop eaten by baby octopuses

Now that was the right kind of ridiculous

Cute that younger Bishop assumed they were Christmas Caroling him and Nate and Ava were so not bothered by letting him down easily.

John had an entire subplot involving reselling his soul to a demon that we didn’t even see any of.  Very him.

This really is the standard John Constantine romance plot, just with someone we were already invested in.

What’s with the key John gave Zari?

Sara and Mick’s goodbye scene was so perfect

Fantastic tag scene – other Waverider comes out of nowhere and blows up ‘ours’

Notes on - Doom Patrol: Ezekiel Patrol

Ezekiel Patrol notes OMH, Alan Tudyks recap via Doctor Seuss to polka music was the best thing ever.   Finally they came together.   Hah! Mr. Nobody:   Cue the recap! ***This is the best timeline EVER! I still don’t get why Jane doesn’t age SO the chief caused their accidents as an experiment in immortality So Mr. Nobody didn’t have any plan for the patrol at all, he was just amusing himself with the bonus of hurting the chief I would watch a season of the Bachelor with Mr. Nobody Mr. Nobody:   I’m going to conduct a parade.   I’m gonna guest host The View.   I’m going to become the next Bachelor! He wanted Niles to feel like nobody Alan puts just the right amount of actual menace underneath the whimsy 1961 The Ant Farm Niles did go back to work for them!   He coordinated the whole test flight for Larry, and didn’t care that he had a wife and kids (and John) Rita was already a test subject for them.   I wonder why she didn’t get put i

Notes on Doom Patrol - Casey Patrol

  Casey Patrol notes Wait – animation opening sequence?   WTF? Torminox Inevitable.   Nice Thanos reference. OK, Dorothy’s telling the story. Wait, she’s telling a different story. Museum in an impossible place Horst Eisman.   Was that who Niles traded the necklace?   I don’t remember the details It took me way too lonmg to clock that these were the Dannyzens Hey there, Candlemaker. It’s really frustrating that they just dropped the DP plotline with no explanation You can tell she hadn’t really gotten back in touch with her father *** No matter how impossible the odds may seem, love always wins out. They very discretely did not utter or show the entirety of the gay slur written underneath fuck off and die.   That was tasatefully handled They’re fighting hate with colorful murals.   That’s sweet, but feels like it would never work Explain bona to vada Oh, ok.   That’s how they’re all living inside Danny the Ambulance.   I’d been wondering Where’s flex?

Notes on - Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Extreme Measures

  Extreme Measures notes   Bashir gets the opening log.   Odo is still super sick with the changeling sickness.   Good to establish the stakes right away Odo wants to know exactly how much time he has left. Odo is being all noble in character and wanting Kiri to go fight the rebellion without him Nice that he admits that he just doesn’t want her to watch him die.   And a little selfless of him.   Also, nice callback to Barreil Odo:   I don’t want the last thing I see to be pain in your eyes. This is skirting melodrama in a sappy way, but they get away with it The Breen weapon is still a thing going on in the background Way to play subtle, Julian. Genocide is an extreme measure Miles has decided to come clean with their plan to dupe section 31 to come to them and that the federation created the disease They’re filling the audience in on the whole lure section 31 plot already set up and bringing everybody up to speed so that they can get on with the story they’r
