the magnificent eight
1x11 - episode discussion



When the team needs a place to hide out, Rip (Arthur Darvill) sets a course for the Old West. Upon arrival, they start a fight with a gang of outlaws, putting the small town in jeopardy. Luckily, an old friend of Rip’s, Jonah Hex (guest star Johnathon Schaech), steps in to save them.

Thor Freudenthal directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Marc Guggenheim and teleplay by Marc Guggenheim. (#111). Original Airdate April 14, 2016.


Basic Rules:

+ Be Respectful of other posters. Not everyone is going to agree or have the same views. Discussions are encouraged, but let’s keep things civil.

+ No Character/Actor Bashing. We love your opinions on storylines, but keep in mind that these are real people who are just trying to do the best with what they are given. We might not always like how things turn out, but just remember things can always get better.

+ Everything is a spoiler until it has aired.

+ Any talk of Illegal Downloading should not be brought up here. Live Streams & such can be discussed through PM's.

+ Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

This episode I think airs tonight in Canada so, whoever watches this episode early please use spoiler tags until the episode airs in the US on Thursday Night.
I'll remove the spoiler tags after the episode airs if ya'll want that.

You can talk about it, just make sure to keep it under spoiler tags. Unlike me, other people don't mind spoilers. lol

I think it's because Flash isn't on CW tonight (there's a 2-hour episode of iZombie) - and on Thursday, CTV is showing a 2-hour Grey's Anatomy during the LoT time slot.

Below are my thoughts on tonight's (Thursday night for the Americans) LoT (in tags for those who don't want to be spoiled):

* Sara bonding with Mick – and drinking him under the table! . I really like her friendship with the Rogues.

Post-Chronos Mick seems a lot nicer than Pre-Chronos Mick - and seems to be totally on Team Legends now. Should we trust him?

* So Rip got his jacket from Jonah Hex, told him all about time travel, AND named his son after him?

I’d like to know the whole story here… because Rip and Jonah are totally acting like ex-boyfriends.

* Sarah and Kendra having some female bonding time, and going on an adventure together. Love it... but we still need another woman on the team.

On a side note: Old-West!Kendra/Shayera was a bit of a Debbie Downer. Hopefully present-day!Kendra doesn’t become as jaded.

* Stein saved H.G. Wells... who wrote The Time Machine. How cute.


Unrelated, but CTV really needs to stop showing those creepy PuppyMonkeyBaby Mountain Dew ads...

My thoughts on the ep.

I really liked the Wild West one.

I love that that Sara drank Mick under the table. Sara can really hold her liqueur.

New Mick is nicer and smarter. "We should really have Sara with us on this mission" Yeah you should. Sara should be on every mission. He really respects her and I love it.

Captain Canary always standing next to each other melts my heart.

I really thought we'd be seeing Carter this episode, I was surprised that we got old Kendra instead. Was her name Cinnamon?

Rip was kind of whiny this ep. But I liked Jonah Hex, I wouldn't mind him showing up again.

And Martin saved H.G. Wells. I wondered if they'd ever meet any famous people in history. Now they did. And the Legends gave him the idea for the Time Machine. Of course from watching Warehouse 13, H.G. Wells is a woman for me.

Ray, you are a lover not a fighter. If they let you fight Sara, you would be dead. If they let you do a shootout, you'd be dead. You can't be a hero if you're dead.

Also if Sara thinks she doesn't have marketable job skills, she should really think about getting into counseling. She seems to be great at it. People really seem to listen to her. First an angry vengeful Mick and now a 4000 year old Hawk Goddess.

Episode in 5 minutes I will post thoughts afterwards

Seeing Stein gambling and hear from him about his father - his bonding with Snart was great

Mick/Sara bonding and OMG Sara drinking him under the table

Oh Jonah Hex knowing Rip and knew them as time travelers

20 minutes in but been liking Ray's storyline in this episode, his standing up and saying that they are heroes even if the mission was to stop Savage. Like seeing him having a storyline of his own outside of Kendra cause his storyline with Kendra

Seriously? she wants to go to this valley to find Carter - after her saying he was her past and Ray was her future last episode - liked her allowing for Sara to tag along, hopefully means some good Kendra/Sara

Liked what we found out about Rip about that city in OK about how he got to know Jonas - what he told Martin about that city from the past. Also wow on Stein being so stubborn about wanting to save this boy. Guess he just couldn't let him die

"We should really have Sara with us on this mission" love that coming from Mick and love how much he respects Sara

Both the Rogues being concerned over the baddies getting Jax - wished we could see more bonding between Rogues and Jax cause just feel like they both like him - like he's a little brother to them or something along those lines

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS Hex punching Rip - though felt a little less enjoyment from it. Was a sad story - Rip leaving even if he knew what was going to happen to the town feeling the pull

Absolutely love the old style draw even if I don't do Western movies or shows - its still pretty awesome giving an old style gun draw

Well next episode is to the past versions of the characters - so Mick's backstory and younger!Sara aka Quentin

This week, on Game of Legends:

The Good stuff:

Ray actually managed to use pull ups for the first time and somehow manage to be successful at something. I'm A BIG KID NOW!

Mick showed an awesome, smarter, badass(and kind of hotter) self. In a scene with Sara, no less. A scene that involved flirting and drinking.

We found out how Jonah got his name and a comic character was involved!

As always,these people cannot avoid a good barfight,especially when it comes to a woman's honor.

Kendra actually had her own storyline.

Leonard is the real leading male of this show-I don't care what the official synopsis says.

I managed to like everyone equally....almost.

The bad stuff:

MG,if you're going to keep shoving a forced pairing down our throats and keep being so mean and abusive,can we get a little action? Some shirtlessness, a love scene, maybe the girls wearing really hot clothes? It's only fair and you keep giving Hawk fans the finger. Tbh,you're giving Ray fans the finger,too. I defended him and Ray/Felicity all the time on the Arrow board and then the writing for him on this show changed him into a boy genius. I don't know whether to send him a care package with Percy Jackson and a green smoothie or just take away his iPad, iPhone and video games for a month.

Speaking of Ray...THANK YOU for finally saying what's wrong with you and this show. The team is supposed to stop Savage,not fly around time, meddling in things. There's already someone doing that and his ship is bigger on the inside,thank you very much.

Why hasn't anyone corrected Ray about his childish need to be a hero? The only way he can be a hero is to focus his technology on stopping Savage,not rescuing a damsel in distress. I would personally prefer it if he fell in love with a Scottish maiden in the 1800's and stayed behind to have a family with her. He can be a hero and fight a million battles and feel as superior as he wants. He can even make friends with another time traveler.

Kendra is worse,though. I actually liked her for once and I was so proud of her for looking for Carter. The old woman was her and it seemed like she was listening,but she needed Sara's words as an excuse for her to be selfish. I get that Kendra doesn't want to be like the old woman,but she does need to accept that she and Ray can't live happily ever after. If she had been honest,he would have accepted it. He already told her that he knew what he was getting into.

Girl,if you wanted the bracelet enough to go hunting for it,why the hell are you focusing on Ray? Obviously the sex haze wears off when he's not around,so do your job,focus on Savage and Get Carter. Then figure out how to bring Carter back to life.

Of all people,Stein was the one jeopardizing the future? For all of his naivety,Ray only screwed up by so much. Stein was going to warp reality and possibly twist a knot in the time-space continuum.

How did Jax manage to avoid being lynched?

Sara,why didn't you smack sense into Kendra? You're beloved by all because you're sarcastic,you're allergic to b.s. and you can spot lies,face reality and you're seen darkness. I'm sorry,but that was too OOC. She was with the league and knows better.

I'm looking forward to next week. I get to see Quentin without being forced to waste precious time watching Arrow.
