I wish the writers would take their cues from Doom Patrol or Umbrella Academy.
The wrestling stuff bored me. Found myself tuning out the first half.
I thought Ava was the jerk in that fight.
I suppose it's normal to have high expectations when a show returns from a long hiatus, but this one would have fallen flat even if there'd been no break. Almost nothing works. Despite a target-rich environment where the subject is WRESTLING!, the humor completely misfires. The best and most cringeworthy example comes at about the midway point when Ray bellows out "Let's prepare ourselves to wrestle!" I mean, I get it. They probably didn't have the rights to use the famous line, but then don't say anything at all! It was just so not funny, as was pretty much everything in this one. It also doesn't help that Mona arrived on the show with a fresh appeal based on her childlike way of looking at things and now the writers are trying to give her heavy material. It's just dumb. And disappointing. Even a Wilhelm scream couldn't help this one.
The only real positive? Zari has never looked better.
God, Zari looked hot it that dress. I thought Hank was gonna touch her bum, which would have been wrong.
Oh no, such a sad and emotional ending. :cry:
Hell no to Zari and Nate!
I know, it's not much, and thinking it was the first episode in 4 months (I expected a time jump, not really continuing exactly the moment we left, and that the episode was "just ok" compared to what we usually get - I mean that as of most of the plot, but the interactions were top notch, as always), but that "Go haircut!" on the paper just made my day.
This episode is only going to air in April please fix this

Glad Legends is finally back. While the episode surely had some entertaining bits to it, I don't feel it's really up to the standard Legends has set for itself this season, a lot of plot related stuff could've been handled better as opposed to feeling rushed and not getting the proper focus and attention it deserved (if anything, an entire episode could've been dedicated to properly exploring those avenues), the same thing could be said for the dramatic side to this episode, which honestly felt poorly thought out and as though only injected into the episode to fulfill the expected runtime, hopefully that is not the case.
Character interactions have, for the most part, remained the same; though some frustration was experienced in the process due to certain decisions by the writers, which I'm certain were only made in order to justify what they did with the relationship bit. Disappointing to say the least, as far as that is concerned.
I'm intrigued however by the plot twist at the end, which, while having not expected it at all (due to the fact they were jerking the audience expectations in one direction while preparing an entirely different alternative), is somewhat of an interesting turn of events and I'm curious to see the direction they take with it in coming episodes.
Overall, it's an alright episode, but I'm hoping what comes next is up to the level of excellent quality we've come to expect of Legends.
