So how long before Sara starts dating that woman from the Time Bureau? They aren't being very subtle about that potential relationship.

No, they certainly aren't.

I kind of wish they would go back to showing Sara being into men again. She's supposed to be bi but they have basically retconned her into being a full blown lesbian.

I thought this episode was fun, but not one of the strongest. Loved how they took a level 1 disturbance into a level 8. Mick is always fun, and Stein as a clown was fun. Billy Zane was a good guest star but I thought the plot kind of meandered on.

I know Molus is a demi-god in Greek mythology but was there a Molus in the DCU?

True, though I recall a throwaway line about her being involved with a time agent to get his access card.

Too bad we didn't get the real Bwana Beast.

Fun and quirky episode. Liked seeing Billy Zane as Barnum.

Good to see Amaya back, but I'm glad timeline wise they acknowledged that she can't stay with the Legends forever because Mari would never be born.

I was surprised they showed new footage of Mari, because they haven't referenced her in at least a couple of years on the Arrowverse.

Not a fantastic episode, but had some fun moments.

Loved the clown posse. Die clown!

Those did not look like new footage at all? From my perspective they showed a still photo of Vixen in the newscast (screengrabbed from archival footage) and Vixen fighting crime briefly (stuntwoman doing the work with no face shown).

I am assuming they didn't even have to pay the actress since she did no actual work on the episode except having an old photo of her shown?

Wish they had used the circus episode to mention the Flying Graysons or Boston Brand.

I think outside of one or two vague references on Arrow, Berlanti's DC shows on the CW have always avoided referencing any Batman characters they don't use.

Are the Legends supposed to be the bad guys this season? Because they really are incompetent fuckups. I mean, they've always kind of stumbled their way through things, but now it seems like they are just a bunch of idiots making things worse at every turn. They're like the Keystone Time Cops.

Yeah, they might want to tone them down making things worse then having to fix the original issue along with their mistakes.

I saw that episode after I watched LOT. I thought someone would point that out.

Thought the line about the Titanic was cute, given the guest star this episode.

Billy Zane!! I'm tired of Sara. I lost it last ep when when struck her "gonna kick ass" mode in her beach attire with her chicken legs and stick arms. Anyway, I would actually be ok with Agent "might be a Lesbian, and thinks the LOT team are fuckups" Whatshername becoming a regular on the show.

Garber was the ship’s designer in the movie. He was referring to his own character.

Yes. That's most of what made the line "cute". "Whoever built the ship should be shot", referring to Thomas Andrews who arguably "built" the Titanic. What also made it "cute" was that Billy Zane, who Played Cal in Titanic, was also in this episode as P.T. Barnum.
