Flash wise you gotta deal with Iris being annoying some episodes over others. She is slowly starting to become Felicity

Iris was terrible in Season 1, so I've dealt with it. She got way better in Season 2, wasn't bad in Season 3.

My problem with the Flash was all the stupid thinking.

"Hey, I'm the only Speedster who can stop Zoom! Lemme sacrifice my powers, THE ONLY CHANCE ANYONE HAS OF STOPPING A MASS-MURDERING SPEEDSTER, to save this one jackass."

I don't remember now why I bailed after Season 3. Nothing stands out in my brain as badly as that Season 2 stuff.

I don't know... Supergirl levels, I guess? This season of Legends came pretty damn close. This season, like, bounced from Constantine suddenly banging a dude to the show literally turning Mick -- the only real masculine character on the show outside of Constantine (who gets slapped with a boyfriend this season) -- into a romance novelist, back to Sarah Lance planning her marriage to Ava and the new character Charlie inquiring if Zari is straight with a big cheesy grin (implying that Charlie is not).

I mean, good grief. Representation is fine as long as it's actual representation... in the CW, the "CIS" people to LGBTQ people ratio is like 1:1. It's disingenuous to reality and 100% agenda.

It wasn't that interesting and what a do-nothing ending. Although kudos to that actress, though... she did a lot with what they gave her.

They never should have plopped her in the Flash "control room" (or whatever we want to call it). I liked her better when she had her own sh** with her job and working with Linda Park and all, and they junked all that.

Actually Constantine having a boyfriend is nothing new. He has always been bisexual in the comics. The whole boyfriend Neron plot was lifted from the short lived Constantine The Hellblazer comics.

Oh I know he's bisexual and that's a story. But there's also tons of stories to choose from where he's not banging dudes. That they chose one of the ones where he is this season isn't just a roll of the dice.

my biggest gripe with this whole season was Constantine not being able to smoke. anytime he tried lighting one up his teammates would knock it out of his mouth. Though when in Hell he did light one up they didn't show it. I loved how they turned Astra into a bad guy didn't see that one coming.

Yeah, what the heck. All this talk about representation, how about representation of smokers? We exist. And they can show unicorns ripping off heads but not Constantine taking a drag off a cigarette?

Conservative viewers were offended.

Next season, Sara realizes she's straight again.

Brandon "Ray Palmer/Atom" Routh and his real life wife Courtney "Norah Dhark" Ford are leaving the show as regular cast members during season 5. looks like the Showrunner's choice not Brandon or Courtney

Credit where it is due... the latest episode with the serial killer (who they reform with the Fairy Godmother!) was actually really well written and solid.

I got a chuckle out of the fact that his name was Freddy Myers and...
Spoiler:
the real killer is his mother, making it a play on 3 movie slashers.

Could be they (or at least Ray) will be regular cast on the Ryan Choi Atom show.

Yeah, it was well done all around. There's a lot going on in it.
