Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: A Woman's Place is in the War Effort

  A Woman’s place is in the war effort! notes Did they deliberately design the streaking up dematerializtion effect to set this up? ***Hey.   Wasn’t there a person on that toilet? The Marco Polo distraction was cute.   I was forgetting that they had the magic key The ladies outhouse.   Oh, that sets up the indoor women’s room later, doesn’t it. Bishop:   There is a soon to be bad Bishop, who’s actually a replacement, robot, clone of me, but I’m the good Bishop. Ava:   So which Bishop blew up the Waverider? Bishop: Well, that was me. Spooner:   Oh No.   Evil Virus Gideon. Gideon:   That seems a bit harsh.   How about misunderstood Gideon who’s just trying to keep the timeline intact? Aeroimpetus stabilizers Bishop just assumes he’s part of the team. It seems awfully easy for them to just walk onto the manufacturing plant grounds during wartime.   Even with the recruitment fair. Did Eleanor Roosevelt really make recruitment films like this? McDougal Jemison

Notes on - Doctor Who: Flux - Village of the Angels

  Flux Village of the Angels notes Devon, Nov 1967 Very pretty blue I’m not loving the overtones of Hide Nov. 21 Cool visual of the phone box back lit The lie detector is measuring absolute truth, not what Claire believes/   Claire Brown A little girl named Peggy is missing Claire was born May 13, 1985.   Great moment when she say’s that to a lie detector in 1967 What is the professor testing, exactly? I like Claire. What is Claire experiencing here? Oh, that’s the angel talking through Claire ***The Angel has the TARDIS. Very cool flickering lights in the TARDIS with Angel moving.   This is a bit deus ex machiona technobabble just to get them over the cliffhanger. The Doctor:   It does have an element of risk Dan: How big an element The Doctor:   Well, pretty big.   The only element, really. Nice tri-split screen for the blink Dan reacts to danger a lot like Jamie used to.   He just shrugs and ghets on with it Have we ever seen someone trying

Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: Deus Ex Latrina

  Deus Ex Latrina notes Vancouver 2214 Bishop has been working on a mystery project and pouring billions into it. No Bishop, don’t start singing. Bishop’s built his own waverider from the blueprints he got from copy of Gideon Ava:   Waverider.   Are you married to that name, or can we still pitch on it? So Bishop did end up with a factory reset Gideon at the end of episode 100 Section A2 is the only bathroom.   It is creepy that Gideon has cameras there. So Bishop now sort of remembers what happened in the finale. Gideon is apparently authorized to administer the time masters oath Hmm.   Still using the 1925 opening credits.   I wonder if they will all season or if we’re going to go back there. Davies thinks the time ship was damaged by the extra weight Gary thinks they’re in the prehistoric era just by the plants.   They shouldn’t have spoiled that in the trailer. He needs to repair the directional compass. We’ve still got techie Zari and also B to help wit

Notes on - Doctor Who: Flux, Chapter Three: Once, Upon Time

    Flux: Once, Upon Time Notes   Bel’s Story.   Interesting, the Flux has already come and trashed the universe and gone.   I did not expect that pacing for the story. Bel is in the Dalek sector, which keeps growing.   Time is totally jacked and flips around Swarm of blue glowing things that affect people just like the flux.   Wait, is that actually Swarm? Bel is trying to get to someone she loves. When we left our heroes, Yaz was about to have all time poured through her.   We pick right up at the same moment It’s not very clear what the Doctor is accomplishing at first.   By design. She put all four of them inside the time storm, because time is broken.   Is it like an eye of th ehurrican situation? Everything is corrupted.   Yaz, Dan and Vinder got drawn back into ‘time’ And suddenly we’re all wrong footed by all four of them being together but in a totally different situation, I appreciate how little concession they’re making to clarity at this point. T

Notes on - Legends of Tomorrow: It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Scientist

  It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad Scientist notes *** Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ve reached our destination.   Welcome to New York City! Gary’s so happy to see NYC I absolutely thought he was going to lose that key by spinning it. Gary had been giving the Legends updates, which is thoughtful Why is Gary so concerned about Nate and Zari?   Is he developing a crush on Zari 2.0?   Please show, don’t make this get weird. Oh right, they wouldn’t have any food in that mansion, would they Sad to hear they don’t have proper pizza in the future. Ava is technically Canadian, isn’t she.   Yeah, they really need to be more careful about chatting in public Cool shot through Hoover’s head So the Hooverbot is Waverider technology.   Someone in the other waverider is covering their history damage. Zari:   I even put up a mirror to show him his tech.   He accused me of subversion. I’ve missed this version of Zari. How plentiful were doughnuts in 1925? Muting Hoover is an option
