Oh, this episode made me feel nostalgic. I remember back when I was a little baby nerd - 11, maybe 12 years old - I was completely obsessed with The Lord of the Rings. I would watch the entire trilogy (extended editions, no less) almost every weekend. Years have passed and I've moved on to other franchises (I've practically sold my soul to sci-fi, space operas and superheores at this point), but my love for LotR still remains. I was delighted by all the references in this episode. By far my favorite was Rip's speech mirroring that of Aragorn's in "Return of the King".
I'm not religious, but I was born and raised in a country that's 95% Roman Catholic, so it was a teeny tiny bit weird for me to hear the Legends casually say the words "Jesus' blood". I guess it's kind of hard to treat Christ as a historical figure instead of our Lord and Savior when you've only heard other people call him the latter your whole life.
Nate: "Maybe they don't know how to use it." Legion of Doom: immediately know how to use it

"Amaya, take the Backstreet Boys."
Can I get that on a T-shirt, please?

Yeah, we're fucked.
