Enough to poke my interest.
Did anybody else get the impression there was some timey wimey history being rewritten in front of our eyes moffat style with this or was it just me?
For example, Dr Stein couldn't remember the discussion he and Ray Palmer had had previously about power sources, plus he kept referring to Palmer as Mr, with Palmer correcting him "it's Doctor" while they were trying to get to the ship when Dr Stein said "Thank you Mr Palmer". There were other little titbits too, but I can't remember them lol.
It's enough to question what will happen when/if they return to the present, does Palmer interact with himself in the past and change his direction in life, or is even Doctor Stein from Earth 2 (or does he do the same thing, perhaps interacting with his previous self and changing his own timeline)?
Or am I just over analysing the actions of an old man? (My dad forgets things all the time lol).

I liked Sarah hanging out with Captain Cold and Heatwave in a bar and Jax not allowed to go with them

This wasn't exactly a good first impression for me.
They had so many characters so often the important scenes felt rushed. The fact that they all accepted the mission so quickly felt weird.
More importantly though, they got a big head start on the bizarre morality of the heroes. Now Stein is a kidnapper? That's messed up.
Stein: I did NOT rufie him!
That's EXACTLY what you did, dude. That should have put a permanent wrench in their relationship.
Jax should not have forgiven him so quickly. The correct response to his apology was "**** you! You drugged and kidnapped me!"
And Rip Hunter not only knew that he was drugged and brought against his will, he specifically told Gideon to prevent the kidnap victim from escaping the life threatening mission he was forced into.
Clearly he doesn't care about getting their consent, so why didn't he just kidnap them all and force them to help him?
Also, he's got a bizarre hypocrisy about altering the timeline. Even putting aside the fact that he's doing this specifically to save his family but doesn't want anyone else to save theirs, he also made a big deal about the importance of the cloaking device on his timeship but then doesn't actually turn it back on again. This is directly responsibly for those guys seeing it, and then Chronos killing them.
Brilliant logic from the guy sent back to prevent a rogue agent from altering the timeline by the way, murdering people in the past for no reason.
It was almost like the time travel in this show is intentionally written as a joke."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!"
*You got the touch! You got the poweeeeer!*
"Arise, Woolseyus Prime."
"Elizabeth..."
