I loved that! and there was a repeat at the end ... I didn't quite catch if the other Legends had that on a recording and it will be something they drag out to embarrass them (over and over).
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I am finding both The Flash and Arrow super tedious this season, which gives me a sadface given how much I loved them just a couple of years back. I'm a few eps behind on both and tried to watch the last week's ep of The Flash last night, then became totally paralyzed with not caring very much. (Every ep, I find myself going, "Barry, you are the WORST" and not in a good way.) Still sort of interested in the musical crossover with Supergirl so should prolly catch up, but.... eh. It's encouraging that LoT is much better this season though -- once the season ends and makes it to Netflix, I'll probably give it a go.
The one genre show I dug this season was Timeless, which finished its abbreviated run a few weeks back. It's basically a SyFy channel show masquerading as a network TV -- the plots are preposterous, but the characters are super lovable. The central trio has great chemistry together and every episode made me happy with "YAY TEAM" feelings. And one of the more impressive things it did well was touching on various under-taught moments in black history through Rufus, who is African-American and is the main tech person in the trio (and is my favooooourite). Worth checking out if you want a light SFnal adventure yarn with a fun group dynamic.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
It was a great episode, and I'm so glad they decided that Sara is the better captain.

Yeah, Timeless is fun.
I'm...not really sure much of anything has happened recently on The Flash.

Barry made lots of stupid decision. HR is funny. There you're all caught up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, now I've got to get The Librarians on DVD. I wouldn't be surprised if there were missing scenes in the aired version. Some things were kinda jarring, and I seem to remember John Rogers mentioning it on Twitter. But I could be wrong. Still, having Librarians on DVD would not be a bad thing.
Streaming is great, but having the thing is better. If you have room.

The commentaries point out several places where the broadcast version didn't show scenes. Not big stuff, but definitely informative for plot and character development. Sadly, the S2 DVDs don't have commentaries, and the extra features are TNT promotional stuff, bah. One funny thing in the commentaries is that the directors had to tell Christian Kane to be less good at fighting in the early episodes.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
The stuff with Victor Garber and Rory in Mission Control, oh my god.
Yeah, it was fun.
That said, how much research does it take to know that there were no seats in the lunar module*. Yeesh! Just watch Apollo 13.
* that really ought to be in asscaps, because I shouted it at the TV.
