love love love this show ever since S2 when it stopped taking itself so seriously.
and I also love the CW's continued pilfering of the cast from Spartacus. Simon Merrells is fantastic, and as Julius Caesar no less. He needs to be in way more stuff...

That was awesome and freaking hilarious.
I love how Rip fired the Legends and they ended up having shitty jobs, especially Sara.
Julius Caesar was great. Rory....Your salad sucks
That was just so random.
The bromance between Ray and Nate was great.
Everything clicked. Just fun campy entertainment. Nice cameo from Kid Flash too.

I enjoyed this a lot and it was easily the best of the DC show premieres so far. Loved the Legends working crappy jobs. Really this was just a lot of fun all the way around with Rory once again being the highlight.

I thought I was watching "Chuck" for a minute there. I appreciate that they're fully willing to embrace the whole stupidity of this show's premise and just roll with it.

Victor Garber (Stein) will be leaving the show.
He's booked a Broadway gig and will be moving to NY. His show begins in January.

I enjoyed Sara working a regular job. The less I see of Rip this season, the better.

Finally, a CW show that doesn't take itself seriously...
Victor Garber is leaving so is Jax going to stay on sans Firestorm, are we getting another half to Firestorm, or someone else completely? (Please be Constantine...Please be Constantine...)

If not for the baby I’d expect Stein’s daughter to be the new half of Firestorm.

There was a report I read that Constantine will guest star at some point this season.

Rather just have Matt Ryan as a permanent member of the cast than guest appearances. There's going to be an animated Constantine CW Seed show next year too.

Enjoyed the first episode, also appreciate the "Not take itself seriously" vibe. Rory = f'ing hilarious and I want to see him and head chick from the Time Bureau get into it more often. The girl is actually from a show my wife used to watch called Mistresses. Unfortunate about Stein, I would like for Jefferson to stay around, to me he really fits. Even if he had no special powers, I think it would still work. Maybe he can get a "power" similar to Steel's. I just hope that this first episode is representative of the whole season and it continues down this fun track.

I don't know why everyone thinks the Sara working in retail was good. It as pretty dumb and cliched to me. Do you really think that is the type of job she would try for? It would've made more sense if she was working in a gym, but even that is stretching it.
I don't think any of them would take crappy jobs like that.
A dumb point and argument I suppose.

I didn't like it. A pretty much nothing special episode. Suffers the same quick wrap up of last season's cliffhanger like the Flash. They keep making Rip a goofus and now a jerk. I'm not feeling the love that you folks do. I keep watching though.

I loved Rory lifting the gear from Rip and his team. Only mild writing annoyance - if Steel is holding a book how does he not notice Ceasar snagged it? Slipped him another book Indiana Jones style?

One of my favorite parts of the premiere. Seeing Mick eating salad, I was wondering why he was doing so. And then the punchline.
I have been keeping the original viewing order of the Arrowverse, so that Legends of Tomorrow will be a breath of fresh air after the dourness of Arrow.

Yup, great ending to what was mostly a kick-ass episode. "Freckles" sure got hotter over the summer!
The normal jobs they had didn't make sense, but they provided a couple laughs. The whole letting them keep going as the Legends doesn't make sense either, but if they didn't, we wouldn't have the only truly enjoyable CW DC show.

They need to figure out a way to make Gideon a flesh and blood character full time, if only because the actress is hot.
