Loved Mick's intro lol. Nate and Amaya came out of nowhere this episode and it was kind of annoying. They even used the cliched "we need to take our clothes off to stay warm" thing. I hated how they put sex before the mission of saving Washington and Rory. I was really enjoying this season without a poorly written romance being included. I hope it stays casual (or preferably actually ends since Amaya did say she doesn't believe in fraternizing with teammates, even though she did) and Nate's not proposing to her within the next few episodes. Mini-Ray getting chased by a rat was pretty funny. Mick and Washington made a relatively interesting team. Jax as Captain was pretty good, though I think he should have wounded Rip and dragged him back with them instead of letting him get away. I don't like Rip as a villain (though Arthur Darvill plays it pretty well), I hope he gets his mind straightened out soon. Liked the little Christmas party at the end.sigpic

Originally posted by garhkal View PostIt wasn't out of no where to me. BUT i do agree, their joining this early on, especially when a mission hangs in the balance was screwy..

Originally posted by garhkal View PostI loved ray being chased around, but would like to know HOW did that funky device Rip detonated, shut down his armor, AND also the joining of Firestorm, but did NOT stop Nate Steeling up?/sigpic

Originally posted by VampyreWraith View PostI think Jax said that it was a kind of an EMP, it affected anything electrical like the ship and Ray's suit, and it affected him and Stein be cause of how their powers work/use energy or something. Nate's powers work differently (and are probably cheaper to show lol).

Weird how a visit to 19th century America tries to show the horrors of slavery and a visit to 18th century America shows only a single moment of polite bemusement at the notion of an interracial couple.
I know that the show doesn't really indulge in much more than the most superficial simplified or a cartoonishly comedic versions of history, so exploring the tragic and complicated realities of life at the time would have been a little over the show's head, but I realized later that there's still something kind of a little uncomfortable about a team that consists of two black superheroes joining in a historical war and fighting against the side that had outlawed slavery, or at least was closer to it.
I mean, sure, you can make a case that they should be preserving history, but the characters themselves don't even pretend that they care about that anymore.
Heatwave definitely has the best intro by far, though.Last edited by Infinite-Possibilities; 18 February 2017, 01:49 PM."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"

Or like i fear, it wasn't even considered by the writers..
And secondly, the thing I've noticed about the show is that they don't really seem to travel to different time periods, they travel to different story concepts. Each episode is only about one aspect of a piece of history, rather than an accurate representation of any given time period.
That's why racism only seems to come up in the the Civil War episode and the 1950s episode, when in fact almost everywhere they go should have been a problem for Jax.
Those are two time periods vaguely associated with old timey racism in popular culture, so that's when it gets brought up to the characters. And even though that same racism also existed in the 20s, 30s, 40s and so on, suddenly it isn't as relevant to the story anymore.
Similarly, although I didn't catch all of them, I believe Stein never seemed to contemplate taking the Waverider straight to Auschwitz in any of the times he visited World War 2."First Weir, then Samantha Carter, and now, you! It's a pity you humans die or get reassigned so easily, or I might have a sense of satisfaction now!"

So how many times has Sara died or ben pfresumed dead now? Is it in double figures yet?
Well the Nate/Amaya thing sure came out of the blue, there was nothing before this ep which was kinda odd. Plus they thought it was a good idea to have sex instead of trying to rescue Mick and Washington?sigpic
