1x05 - episode discussion

After some of the Legends are captured and thrown into a Russian gulag during the height of the Cold War of 1986, Snart (Wentworth Miller) leads the team in an elaborate escape plan to free their comrades. However, Rip (Arthur Darvill) gives Sara (Caity Lotz) a secret side mission that could prove not only to be a liability, but fatal to the team.

Dermott Downs directed the episode written by Beth Schwartz & Grianne Godfree. Original airdate February 18th, 2016.

It was fun to see Cisco even if he wasn't real.

Vandal knowing he saw Stein in the past.

I might enjoy this little battle of wills and stubbornness between Vandal and Stein.

Jax grows on me more and more every episode.

I love Leonard's loyalty to team members at least.

I love that are bringing in the Bratva. I wish they would get there with Arrow Flashbacks already. That's neither here no there though.

I love Sara being the one to kick all the guys butts. Girl is fierce.

The idea of Ray has insane ruthless criminal and thinking being nice is the way to go in prison.

Stein does have a point about Jax and Kendra not going even if they should realize they are better as a team.

Oh, I don't like where this is goIng... Yep. Not at all. Rip really is using Sara because she isn't afraid to kill. I don't like that.

This Russian chick is crazy and a little to devoted to war. And a little happy to torture.

And seriously Ray how you thought being that nice would go well in the gulag.

Ray is just too nice.

I like the call back to Ronnie and stein.

Mick and Ray being torured.

**eternalfate** · 02-18-2016, 06:19 PM

Wow.

What a hallucination Stein was in. Don't give away the formula!!
I love Dr. Stein giving demands since they can't kill him right now since they need him.

Soviet Union - 1986, for anyone who lost track of the timezone on this show. lol

Aww.

Jackson being very concerned for Stein.

I enjoyed seeing the first scene between Jefferson and Kendra.

Gideon is awesome.

The trio between Rip, Sara and Len was awesome.

I'm telling you, Len and Sara make any character dynamics awesome.

"I just took out six men, you guys couldn't take out one?" lol Sara is the absolute BEST!

Cmtaylor531 · 02-18-2016, 06:27 PM

That really was one of the best Sara quotes Tia. I cracked up.

**eternalfate** · 02-18-2016, 06:30 PM

^ Same! Sara is just so awesome on this show.

Mick and Ray's scenes. lol

"This isn't my first Prison Break"... we know Michael Sco... oh Leonard Snart, we know!

URG Rip.

My Captain Canary.

FINALLY! I love these two.
I love how Len was smart enough to know what Rip told Sara on the side.
I really loved the advice Len gave to Sara... I'm just so through with Rip in this mission. lol Killing Stein... just horrible. You don't take out one of your own regardless of the situation.

Mick's obsession with fire is showing in this episode. He definitely has the same comic-book backstory it seems.

I'm loving these Kendra and Jefferson scenes, and just how much Jefferson wants to help even if he can't.

Mick is just loyal to Snart, no shock about that.

Cmtaylor531 · 02-18-2016, 06:42 PM

I'm gonna be sad if Mick and Leonard leave Ray. I liked that Leonard at one pint seemed loyal to the whole team. Grr.

**eternalfate** · 02-18-2016, 06:43 PM

I'm so happy with all of these Captain Canary scenes and just everything Len is telling Sara is all to the point.

Ray is so amazing in this episode! This episode is showing how much he doesn't like to see how one of his own is hurt.

YES! Captain Canary three #3.

Thanks writers! Loved him asking how it feels to be alive again.

Mick saw Len.

I like Len going against Rip, #TeamLen

"So much for your code, crook."
"Anytime Assassin"

I ship them so HARD!! lol

Mick and Len relationship is EVERYTHING! Outside of themselves, they care about each other.

Is there something wrong with the fact I want to punch Rip in the face right now? Like really.

Stein keep being awesome.

Rip really need to have a little bit more faith, if he have no hope for anything, what was the point of bringing this team together through time? I just can't with him right now. Happy that Kendra and Jefferson got through to him! Gideon and Rip would be the perfect pair, the duo with no faith.

Wow Mick caring about Ray now.

Didn't see that coming.

I loved that as well. So many fun stuff involving Sara.

Yay they didn't leave Ray.

Little late for plan c.

Leonard being the one to pull Sara back from thinking like a killer. Yea, that gets my Captian Canary heart melting.

I love how much Jax cares for Stein.

I think what he means to say is run.

oh, Sara you are on fire tonight n

**eternalfate** · 02-18-2016, 06:53 PM

I guess Mick finally cares for someone else and it's Ray.

This episode showed that Mick doesn't trust people but when you show loyalty to him, trust starts.

Jefferson.

"Barry Allen who?" you go man!

Nice assistance from Sara there.

Ray finally conscious. lol

Vandal Salvage sees Kendra.

He's obsessed with power so he's definitely going to follow.

My Len and Sara.

They are my official favorite ship after this episode.

It was Len that got through to her.

tears down my eyes right now.

Len cares about Sara, my ship is just too much right now.

The writers said episode 7 they would share scenes! are they sure it wasn't episode 5? cause man how awesome were they in this episode. I'm so happy I pre-shipped the right ship. I'm on CLOUD 9.

I can't wait for the day Kendra goes up against Vandal!

Let's go Jefferson!
