Two cast members left, I was sad by their departure. I feel like LOT won't be the same esp since there's one OG member left now. Anyway, loved Sarah and Ava's wedding a great culmination of all their relationship. Not long til I find out what S7 will bring.

Fabulously queer as always!

Sara and Avas relationship has always been the healthiest relationship on television, albeit under strange circumstances and this wedding fits them just perfectly. Otherwise, the stakes are as high as ever and the fight agains the Zagarons is action packed and as perfectly strange as legends always is. Then to wrap up and win with the kiss of their perfect, queer, main couple is just completely on brand for this show and it fits so well. A stellar end to the season, especially as it has been so Avalance centric it just feels like a perfect way to wrap up the story as it started!!
One of the best finale I've ever seen and show created.

Watching Avalance getting married in the final episode of season 6 is just melted my heart. Avalance is the most healthiest LGBTQ representation in any verse. Kudos to the show runners, crew and cast to the acknowledge that fact. Once again this show proved us that found family is just as valuable as blood related family. Circling in middle of chaos and getting rid of any kind threat, that thrown on their way is just way is legends do best. Keep make the difference in world legends. Because you guys are the ones that capable doing it. Long live the legends. Can't wait for the season 7 and manifesting season 8.
VERY GREAT FINALE

Kind of good, not bad though

I just keep thinking about how paradoxes and seeing yourself works in this show. An earlier season was basically the cause of them being in the same spot and imagine if the Legends had let younger Mr. Hipster Villain die in the hands of the Zagurons. Well, Ava wouldn't exist then but why didn't they think of just letting Mick kill a younger version of Mr. Hipster Villain and the whole problem would be solved. By the way, why didn't him seeing himself become evil scare himself from not becoming the villain? What are the rules of time travel and paradoxes in this show. The writers don't seem to agree on it.
I Want Beebo Back After This
afrisco6 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I've seen a good bit of people on the Internet and across socials really loving this episode and this whole seasons, and good for them, like what you like, but I wholly did not.
Overall this season has been an unfocused mess. What started with a pretty strong premise and premiere that naturally lended itself to individual character exploration and storylines (hello, you had the perfect opportunity to give Sara a solo storyline with actual depth), and emotional fallout and tension (teammate abducted!) quickly turned into episodes filled with nothing but gags and surface level relationship drama.
Sure, I doubt Covid helped, but an abduction storyline turned silly with most of the characters seeming to not care or be affected outside of the first episode? And the villain responsible for said abduction being one of the most annoying characters in the entire Arrowverse? A recipe for disaster. Until the mid season finale (Back to the Finale Pt. II) where the writers managed a very emotional episode, had stakes, callbacks, and a really solid time travel premise, all while the goof and fun added to the story and was enjoyable.
Keep in mind for this review that I absolutely hated the killing/cloning of Sara and after Stressed Western it had absolutely no implications or meaning, just a few cherry mentions and a few regeneration scenes. It had no further meaning, never amounted to anything towards the end - zero reason for that disrespect to the character!!
Anyway, after an extremely strong penultimate episode that brought heart and depth, and lovely timey-Wimey and science fiction elements to it, this finale was not only a letdown, but choppy and played all those stakes safe (seriously the 2 (3!) characters that appeared dead or left for dead last episode basically just do the equivalent of popping out from behind a bush yelling "just kidding!"
More bad drug jokes. Having a "What Would Sara Lance Never Do Day" seems to be a bad idea and reminds us why we love what Sara Lance does. Bishop was back to being an annoying villain after showing off his menace for the past two episodes. Deu ex machinas that come out of nowhere save the day with no build up from the rest of the season. (Let's be honest, nothing really was a natural buildup this season, the way a good story should.)
Remember the good ol days of Seasons 2 & 3? When there was foreshadowing and buildup for the final act of the season? Maybe not Beebo, but I'll let that slide because I would far sooner go watch Beebo taking down Mallus again over a not-very-clearly-explained-resurrection of a love mushroom magic saving the day.
The only saving grace of this episode is the Avalance vows and the fact they are married and Nate officiated. And one sweet scene between Gary and Ava. The scene between Sara and Constantine was supposed to be nice but the fact it's Sara tripping out on a shroom that had John's voice telling her to "eat him," - all euphemisms aside - and talking to an angelic Johnny (and him not actually being dead?!) puts a weird taste in my mouth... and it's not mushroom.
I only spend so much time writing a negative review because I know for a fact this show can be better. And can treat its characters better. Half of my faves are on this show now that Arrow has ended. Sara especially. And I just want shows on a network to be held to higher standards. Yes, even if that network is the CW.

Season 6 is the worst one since Season 1
sahil-masrur7866 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The worst finale. Actions are lazy, the fountain shenanigans was underwhelming, and getting married before alien invasion wasn't a moment this season was building up to. Only thing was good that Constantine's exit which was bitter sweet. This season is the worst one since Season 1. Pls bring back the glory of Season 2-3.
Average at best
getdangledon6 September 2021
Another finale where it's friendship saves the day in the dumbest way possible. The fight scenes were barely average with little action. The show seems to have fallen into a routine of doing pretty much the same thing again and again.
Co-Captains For Life! But...

I really enjoyed this season of Legends of Tomorrow. The writers constantly impress me with how well they're able to develop characters and create plots. I definitely disagree with the people that say season 6 is the worst season since season 1, because I definitely enjoyed a lot of it. That being said, this is one of the episodes where I can confidently say that I understand why people hate Legends of Tomorrow.
Look, it's not the worst episode of the show, but Legends has had much better season finales than this in the past. I think it's pretty clear that by the time the crew made it to the finale, they'd run out of money for cgi. It felt a lot like the final episode of Black Lightning this season in that way. A lot of the action felt cheap and underutilized in the episode, and that wasn't really helped by the fact that it felt like they used all the cgi money they had in the first half of the season. That worked in their favor during episodes like "Silence of the Sonograms" which focused a lot on character work and less on fancy action, but this is the finale to, arguably, the grandest season of Legends at least in scale. The action has to matter here. We've seen the Legends fight an army of speedsters, Beebo fight a Time Demon, Constantine singing someone back to life, and the freaking THONG SONG used as fight music on this show during previous finales. While I think focusing on how the Legends are a family thrown together by history was smart, I think we needed something better than Sara and Ava saying "I do" to kill all the aliens trying to attack them. That was stupid even by my standards.
I'm also kinda mad about everything they did with John Constantine in this episode. Bringing him back from the dead was... Okay, they just shouldn't have "killed" him in the first place. The fact that he sold his soul to another demon to try to save himself really undermines all the development he went through this season. I guess you could take it as him finally finding something, or someone in his case, to be willing to sell his soul for, but he still has to leave the Wave Rider crew to appease Warner Bros for the Constantine HBO Max show, so that explanation doesn't really hold water. What the writers should've done was given him a worthy death scene in the first place so that they didn't have to awkwardly resurrect him. Constantine deserved better in these last two episodes.
Honestly, I think we can all agree that the best part of the episode was the AvaLance wedding. That was honestly well done and almost had me tearing up when they exchanged their vows. I guess I figured that would be something they saved for next season, but screw it, the writers earned this one.
I'm gonna miss Bishop as a villain to be honest. I think they made him a little too over the top at the end, but especially in his initial appearance I found him to be a great threat for the Legends and Sara, and even when they brought him back in "Silence of the Sonograms" I found him to be cunning and manipulative. I thought they'd go somewhere with that, but I was unfortunately mistaken. I didn't mind his death scene though, and I think it was a fitting end for him. He spent so long trying to merge humans and aliens in an attempt to save the human race, and ended up dying to the spawn of a human and an alien. It's reminiscent of Icicle's death in Stargirl season 1 in a lot of ways. Icicle's first on screen murder was Joey Zarrick, who he killed by freezing the road in front of an oncoming car, and resulted in Icicle framing Joey's death as an accident. Icicle ultimately met his demise by a kid who killed him using a car, that eventually turned out to be an accident. It's a good catharsis in a lot of ways.
On the whole, this was a good season, but the last two episodes was where the season really shot itself in the foot, and right before the finish line too. Don't you just hate when that happens? When a season of tv you're honestly excited for doesn't live up to your expectations? Seems to be happening with all the Arrowverse shows this year. Black Lightning went out with a fizzle despite having the perfect setup for their final season. Flash was so bad that I quit watching and am not looking back. Batwoman I quit three episodes in despite the casting of Javicia Leslie giving me an inch of hope the writers would actually *try* to use her acting talents and give her a good arc. Supergirl continues to ruin their characters beyond belief in favor of politics. I'm getting really impatient with Stargirl and wish they would just get to the point with Eclipso already. And now, Legends had to shoot itself in the foot right before the finish line and give, in my opinion, the worst finale in the show's history. The season on the whole was really good, but this episode was not it. Looking forward to next season though. That cliffhanger was very reminiscent of what happened in season 1, where a second Wave Rider crash landed where the Legends were gathering. Only this time, the Legends are now stranded in 1920's Texas (unless they use one of the time couriers to escape back home, but they're gonna conveniently ignore that plothole).
4 / 10
Real quick though, I do want to mention that the Legends writers don't usually disappoint like this, and tend to actually listen to their fans when they screw up with certain things. The best example I can give is with Gary and Mona Wu in season 4. Clearly, the writers were trying to do something with those character, and that ended up backfiring on them in a big way. So what did the Legends writers do? They wrote Mona off, and she's only shown up once since, and reduced Gary to having a full background role. Unlike the Flash writers, the Legends writing team actually takes feedback into account. See also how Behrad was significantly toned down after "This is Gus", which was one of the most hated episodes of the whole show. In fact, Behrad was missing for a significant stretch of the season after that episode. The writers knew they took things too far, listened to the fans, and toned themselves down. I think the concepts and ideas of the season like the Fountain of Imperium could've worked, and was one of the most intriguing parts of the season, and the writers *should* keep including more wacky and zany plotlines and elements like that. I just think that this episode will be a bit of a learning experience for them, and I'm expecting a few things to be toned down next season. I predict we'll be focusing more on the closest thing the Wave Rider has to an original team left next season, with Sara being the main focus and Nate, Zari, and Ava getting a lot of screen time since they're the strongest characters the show has left at this point. I'm fairly confident that Behrad will be demoted to a full on background character. I also think that means we'll be seeing less of Astra and Spooner, and I'm kinda sad about that because I really liked Spooner, and I think Astra has a lot of character potential. That's just my predictions and wishful thinking though.

The only way to enjoy this show is ironically

Warning: Spoilers
Ignore the rest of the reviews for this show, they just want to steal your time and braincells. This show has become so stupid, generic, and has narrative cohesion of a newborn squirrel with ADHD. Almost everything that happens in this episode could be seen from a mile away or makes little to no sense. The only thing that was good was the wedding, which was cute, but not the logic the use to get to the wedding. They could have placed bombs on pods but nope let's have a wedding, they stoner ate his friend's death mushroom because cause ha ha munches, the supersmart cringy villain who is easily outclassed the dimwitted legends at every turn decides to run at them with a gun to finish them off even though he had a spaceship which he could have easily shot them from, just to list of few of my issues. It's just painfully unfunny.
This entire season has been a reck, they had an episode about not selling how but they added Barad and new Zarya just so they could make stoner jokes and fashion girl jokes or how the Legends frequently say killing is bad and altering the timeline is wrong then proceed to kill carelessly and alter the timeline on whim. I'm going to watch this show the end cause I've already put enough time in it, but don't make the same mistake.
