3x15 Necromancing the Stone

Me? Crying about Avalance? It's more likely than you think. I wish they would stop toying with my emotions. Yes, Sara's done some bad things in the past, but she's working so hard to redeem herself. She's been through so much, she's overcome so much pain and darkness. She deserves to be happy. I love her. And Ava is amazing as well. Her jealousy was fantastic. And she was so heartbroken at the end! I want to die.

This was such an intense episode, but they still managed to put some of LoT's trademark humor in there. It's really impressive how they manage to balance all the serious, intense moments with bits of levity and it never feels forced or overdone (which is my problem with a lot of Marvel movies, for example). Good job, writers.

It's always great to see John Consantine. Sara's right, they should just get him a bed on the Waverider. And how happy was Gary when John kissed him? Nobody on this show is straight, I'm telling you.

Rory has the Fire Totem, Zari has Air, Amaya's going to get her Spirit Totem back eventually, Kuasa has Water, Sara's got Death (I wonder if they'll ever let her use it, though). I'm curious as to who's going to wield Earth. It didn't seem to work for Nate.

Monday used to be the worst day of the week for me. Now it's the day I'm looking forward the most. Who would've thought! Me, wishing for Monday to come. Bonkers. But Legends is a breath of fresh air in my hectic schedule.

I loved the episode so much more than I was expecting. I was so looking forward to watching it since I knew Constantine would be back and even more since yesterday's magnificent news that he would be given a status of series regular in season 4. Way to go writers!

If I could go back two years in time and tell my younger self that I would be enjoying Legends so much and that it'd be my favourite DC TV show, I'm pretty sure my younger self would've burst out laughing immediately. In all honesty, this show gets my mind off of problems and gives me 42 minutes of pure joy and laugh. I'm still impressed that the writers manage to be able to write thoughtful dialogue and tons of interactions and character development in a show full of characters and that none of them misses anything. Other shows just leave some characters out or just make them useless. So well done again, writers!

That said, the episode was creepy as hell. Possessed Sara was ruthless and savage. I kinda liked it. And of course she has a thing for death. No one's going to beat her in that department. Ever. I jumped when I saw her in the original Black Canary outfit. I actually was expecting Laurel to pop up any minute, if I'm honest. And I'm surprised it didn't happen. When Black Canary said "I'm you after you died" I shouted to my screen, "yeah, but after which time?", lol.

The atmosphere was so dark (no pun intended) and gloomy that I couldn't help but enjoying it. Sara's internal conflict was great. Every season we got her dealing with death and her past but this time, it was different. Listening to her facing the reality of what she'd done was so hard, especially in what was probably the happiest moment of her life was rewarding. Listening to her accepting a life with pain and regret and avoiding giving up that easy made me think that she had overcome all her problems. However, they seem to be resurfacing and that storyline is clearly not over yet. That final scene with Ava was cruel. Let's face it guys, this is the CW, we all knew that relationship drama was eventually going to hit this show. But, let's focus on that killed talk. How refreshing was that? It went so natural. Talking about John "helped her with Mallus" back in the 60s, and actually talking about it instead of hiding it under the bed was so refreshing. It's been long time since I've seen something like this happen in a CW show. This would've been the same in other shows.

I'll never get tired of Wally. I'm at a loss as to even begin to understand why didn't they write him like this in the Flash. Seeing him shit talking hallucination Jessee was so damn good. For a moment I thought he was gonna take the bait. But he didn't. His "Oh, so worse than Flashpoint" was so great I couldn't even believe they said that.

This show is reaching a dangerous level of meta references. The writers don't even care anymore. The same goes with the Beebo references. They're getting ridiculous and I can't love it more. "So, worse than Flashpoint?" lol. I can't believe he said that.

The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the episode's atmosphere was "They're gonna split up instead of going in groups and get taken down one by one, aren't they?" and guess what they did. Then I remembered that this is the classic horror movie trope. So, I started to think whose hallucination they might come across. I've gotta say it, those were cruel. I knew Nate's grandpa was gonna pop up. Even it it was for a minute, it was worth it. I thought the dead totem only showed them dead people (call it obvious thinking) but when I saw Jessee I didn't quite understand it, unless it meant that their relationship was dead. Sara's explanation at the end was satisfying. Zari and her brother, man. It hit me harder than I expected. That was so sweet and tender. I'm actually surprised she was strong enough to face the whole situation. When it comes to family and guilt, that's difficult.

If Legends is great for one thing, is for making amazing scenes which other characters rather than the Legends. One of my favourite parts of the episode was Constantine, Gary and Ava. They were so great together. Great chemistry there between Ava and Constantine.

And Gary! Man, I love Gary. Our level 9 warlock, lol. He got a kiss from Constantine and he liked it. His expression afterwards was priceless. Constantine's "Too late" I response to Gary's "Don't laugh" was a great delivery.
And of course he plays D&D and wears Beebo socks. My goodness, I'm a sock lover a d I need those. I need them! He needs to play D&D at the end of every episode to summarise the plot. Better yet, make it a new series, lol. The mood was tense and I thought the episode was gonna end on that tone. However, that final scene had me in stitches. If Gary is not confirmed to be Mallus or controlling it, I don't know in what to believe anymore.

The whole Mick being a Fire Totem bearer was a little bit on the nose, but it was fun to watch, especially to listen to him acknowledging he's not a hero, that Sara is. Honestly, I thought that Jax was gonna be the Totem bearer last episode, which can still happen, and that way Wed have our Firestorm. But seeing Mick wearing the Totem was worth because of the last scene when Constantine used his fire to light his cigarette by casually saying "While we're here", lol.

Btw, the whole Astra stuff was Amazing! I really need a season 2 of Constantine. And that fact that he appears now in Legends only makes me wanna see the show again.

Constantine: “There isn’t exactly a paint-by -number spell for locating a spaceship floating through a temporal stream. My business card says, 'Master of the Dark Arts', not Doctor Ruddy What’s-His-Face"
Gary and Ava: “Who? Who?"
Constantine: “Exactly"

Constantine is amazing.

Sara continues delivering amazing send-offs. "Mama's got a headache". And that Mona Lisa line, lmao. "Wait, wait, wait, so the Mona Lisa was a self-portrait? Da Vinci in drag". This show is bonkers.

Rory: "Doors locked. I'm gonna kill they witch!
Zari moves nervously on the background
Amaya:" If you kill her, Sara dies too"
Rory: "Better her than me"
Nate: "Dude, how can you say that?
Rory:" By moving my lips"
Nate: "And what we're you doing when Ray was getting the crop beast out of him? Day-dfinking again?!
Wally:" Hey, guys?"
Rory: "Better than kidnapping a dog"
nate: "We rescued the dog Milk!
Zari:" I'm claustrophobic!"

Seriously, their one liners are the best. I couldn't stop laughing at that scene.

Next week, we finally know what's Ava's secret which apparently is a bunch of Ava's clones. Must be paradise for Sara.
