I don't know whether it was because Sara was barely in it, the main villain was Gorilla Grodd (who is extremely boring in my opinion), or the equally boring storyline with Mick (who I still maintain should have died instead of Snart), but this episode was the worst in this season so far.
Mick Rory to me is the only alpha male in all the CW shows. All the other guys in the Flash/Arrow verse makes it obvious that they depend on the women to make the important calls and follow their lead. Dominic Purcell was as always awesome in this episode.
I fucking love this show! The episode was astonishing! I love Mick "Schwarzenegger" Rory and getting an episode to develop his character further...just bring it!
"We do it differently. Yeah, more messy". Screwing things up for the better is never a bad thing, lol. This show is one of the most messed up nonsensical things I've ever seen in my life and yet I love every second of it.
Sir Isaac Newton hitting the captain of the Waverider with a frying pan while she's being mind-controlled by a telepathic superintelligent gorilla in a time travelling ship in Vietnam. God bless this show! It's because of these things that I love this show. I hope Newton keeps coming in future episodes. I loved how Sara didn't give a crap about him at the end.
A Mick-centric episode. Sing me the hell up! He's just awesome and being able to get inside into his character was great. Poor Mick! He got to meet his abusive dad and realized that he was only abusive because he got PTSD. Seeing him hurting himself hit me pretty pretty hard. He keeps on being one of the best characters on the show. I also love Zari. It's a pity she hasn't been in any big battle yet but I love that she gives no fucks about everything.
That council of masterminds was another clear wtf moment. But it was, indeed, genius. They just got Marie Curie to try helping Stein to split Firestorm while eating Jax' pie. I'm gonna miss Stein so damn much. Stein and Gideon are amazing together. "That your idea of helping?" "You're afraid?", lol.
"First Lady pie is pretty good". Oh dear God. I almost die laughing. Btw, what kind of President hands in a pie recipe in appreciation for being rescued? Lol. What this show does...
The Legends keep on meeting past selves or relatives. Is this going to be a thing? I mean, is it a future plot or simply to help getting insight into their characters? I'm pretty intrigued by that.
I died laughing with "One nation under Grodd". And what to say about the "There's no Sara, only Grodd", lmao.
Holy shit I didn't expect Grodd to show up
I like that we get some more depth on Mick as a character.
So all that trouble that Barry went through last season, was for nothing...
No Sara, only Grodd. Amazing. Best show ever. Haha

It was nice to see Rory's backstory getting some attention, but this one fell short overall. The show usually has humor, fun and wackiness in abundance, but all three seemed to be in short supply here.
