Welcome back my Legendary Island of Misfits! Who is ready to become the next Americ…um, King or Queen of Da Throne? I’ll let you know…right after the break! Just kidding…
- I got some deep Terminator vibes when the alien first appeared in Palm Springs 2045.
- Zari had disappeared from public view, with the rumor she was in rehab like many a celebrity.
- Judging a music competition is an odd occupation for a king, I agree.
- I just realized what was said in the start of the episode was the song Zari sang in the finale: Ever fall in love with someone you shouldn’t have
- Business phone, personal phone, phone for all the Persian guys Zari’s mom sets her up with
- Must be some great reception on the Waverider if Zari can receive calls on her phone from 24 years in the future.
- When DJ S’more Money originally died, Zari was suggested to wear a statement dress as it may be his funeral but her red carpet. Um, cheery?
- Nate wonders what he is more surprised by: an alien attacks Zari’s ex or that network TV is still around in 2045
- Anyone else worried something is wrong with Gideon? The other week she seemed to be gleeful when she thought they were going to cut into Spooner’s head and now she seemed perky when an evisceration was mentioned.
- Another Marvelous reference: Maybe Sara is pulling a “Thor:Ragnarok” and kicking some alien @$$
- “I don’t care if you have to eat across the galaxy, we are getting home!” - Sara, putting all her hope on Gary
- “Ava is my other side.” -awwww
- Um, golden buzzer and wild card? Weren’t they on those other reality shows…shhh, maybe they won’t notice.
- Can you smell what the President is cooking?
- How about a chief of staff that you can’t see?
- Just a side note: the audience was all virtual on mini television screens. Were they actual Legends fans that won some sort of lottery to appear on the show? Just curious, as seemed like a lot of regular people.
- “This place is like a revolving door, so don’t unpack.” - Mick with Original Legend wisdom.
- What?!? You mean Mick was picked last for the team? Man, this is just like middle school all over again.
- Love me the Iron Giant reference. That was a great movie (and no, I just had something in my eye is all.)
- Who you calling immature species as I love to sing and dance (not well, but I do).
- “The public doesn’t want to be someone who isn’t there.” - good reason why Zari’s company is tanking.
- The edible cups reminded me of when Willy Wonka took a tea cup and took a bite out of it in the original (and best) version of the movie.
- “Dating some vegas act so you can abra cadabra your career.” - now I cannot stop picturing Johnny C on Vegas accidentally bringing demons forth five nights a week.
- LOL The S’more was on fire!!!
- “Friends, foes and neithers” - I am stealing this as my greeting from now on.
- Best explanation for the Legends: “We are a Swiss Army knife operation. Each Legend has an utility.”
- The Planet of the Ape…er, Avas! Why did they have to taste so good, Gary?
- Anyone else notice there was an Attack of the Clones?
- I don’t know about you, but the on-air interviews don’t sway me on reality shows. I either like the artist or I don’t. All the rest seems emotional filler.
- “It’ll take a lot of time and cooperation but I can work with this.”
“Your sex appeal is going to waste. We have to do something with the hair.” All I could think of was either Miss Congeniality or when the guy in Princess Bride turns Anne Hathaway into something the other mooses go HAW for. - Did you see John’s heart break when Zari told her mom it was just a fling?
- I laughed when John said he looked like that “t@sser Cris Angel”. Because it was so true.
- Zari basically explained truthfully where she had been without saying where she had been: “Focusing on self care, traveling the world with close friends, visiting historical sites to die for, it has all been super low key.”
- Can you picture John doing a scorpion pose at a snowga retreat?
- “You’re using this mission to get back on top. You care more about being fake for the cameras than real.” - John being real
- “I was ambushed by a gangster feared across the galaxy.” - sure it is not Jabba?
- Mick drew a sketch of the alien Kayla based on the description given where there were chicken wings on her face.
- “Uncloak. Initiate Matador’s Last Strike.” - Mick trying to take charge by bringing a nuke to a water balloon fight. Though it has been good seeing him take more charge of things than usual.
- “The earth was screwed anyways” - Mick’s answer for everything.
- Did Mick admit that Sara is a great captain by saying if Ava was captured by aliens they would have found her by now? Original Legend respect.
- Mick’s worried about his daughter on her own away at college. He’s so cute. But don’t tell him I said that.
- Almost drove John to smoke but gets interrupted again.
- What exactly is Les-Lay? She seems to sneak up on people a lot without them knowing. A new meta? A meta who thinks it is better for Zari’s image if she is unhappy.
- Lord Knoxacrillion will wail as in battle.
- The planet Arkana is pretty advanced as they are not defined by gender constructs and everyone can carry and bear children.
- OK, I paused a few times to gather some of the 500,000 vocalists that Lord Knox was trying to synthesize, please feel free to add to the list I did notice it repeat again at the end:
Stevie Wonder
Luther Vandross
Lauryn Hill
Luciano Pavarotti
Jasmine Sullivan
Freddie Mercury
Nina Simone
Calle Day
Beyonce
Nat King Cole
Amy Winehouse
David Bowie (hey the Legends know him personally!)
Otis Redding
Stevie Nicks
Joe Crocker
Morrissey
Dolly Parton
James Taylor
Bonnie Raitt
Curtis Mayfield
Bruce Springsteeen
Ellie Fitzgerald (was this supposed to be Ella Fitzgerald?)
Etta James
Bob Marley
Johnny Cash
Mick Jagger
Ray Charles
Frank Sinatra
Andrea Bocelli
Adele
Josh Groban
Ben Platt
Idina Menzel (just let it go, John Travolta)
Aretha Franklin
Patsy Cline
Barbara Streisand
whew…whatta playlist. - “What are you up to sneaky git?
Or ill rip that stupid donut off your head and feed you your tender bits” - John politely asking DJ S’more a question. - OK, Lord Knox has a beautiful voice but what is up with those lyrics…“they can’t behead me”? What the what? I had flashbacks to the Marie Antoinette episode.
- “This thing we have was bound to end, it always does.” “Hey, that’s my line.” Zari and John get each other.
- “I know I don’t deserve to be happy and we will probably both muck this up. I want to throw the dice I want this to be real.” - John sounding the most romantic I have ever heard him. Having your soul back brings out the best.
- Just out of curiosity, DJ Marshmallow Man gave them both the same song, but she sings a completely different song, on the spot, with guitar by Johnny C, using words from the earlier conversation and music in the episode. UM, that’s real talent there.
- “Fashion guru Behrad. Nate on hair” I give you Mr Congeniality.
- “Now there a word to make lesser men wilt – boyfriend” - awwwww, Johnny you softie.
- Hey the alien is like that one from Men in Black that used huge human robots to disguise their appearance.
- SO much for his survival, Mick squashes him like a bug.
- Mick using his criminal knowledge to help again (after the police calls in the fast food episode) by saying we have been searching for the wrong cargo, we need the driver.
- David Bowie and “Space Girl” floating through my head again…
- The infamous Sara Lance and the actual big bad of the season finally meet.
- Gotta love the robotic theme music during the end credits!
Well, that’s all we have time for this week. Until next time stay Legendary!
