Fun ep full of giddy-up

[imakk2001 · 8/10 · 14 April 2016]

I like the new Rory! No-subtlety-grunty-Rory was fun but it got kind of old after a while, so this smarter, mouthy Rory with all the intel is loads of fun. Glad they didn't take more than an ep to get him "back". Gotta love Sara just strutting into town, with no F's given, and drinking Rory under the table. HA! Not more than 5 minutes in town and Snart kills someone followed by Stein curing Wells (no, that that Wells), because of course they would! Love all the Old West trope: crying woman in trouble, shoot out at (foggy) high noon, pine box for the loser at the ready and photographer to memorialize the moment, all unashamedly going for the cheese. Kind of shocked they all went full frontal at the end but hey no complaints from me! I like Ray and I like Kendra, but their romance just feels clunky, but that's par for the course for the DCTVverse. Still, a much more cohesive feeling about the group, making for some fun repartee and interactions.

Score: 8.5

Le périple de Kendra et sara qui croise un ancienne Kendra qui a vécu longtemps était cool. La relation Sara-Kendra est super et la relation Kendra-Palmer également. Palmer qui devient shériff de salvation était vraiment cool et par dessus tout Snart qui tue un mec dans un bar et qui déclenche une bataille dans le bar était incroyable. Du côté de Stein,le fait qu'il ait sauvé un descendant de la famille Wells était un bon clin d'oeil. Jonah Hex fait son arrivé dans le Arrowverse et en on apprend plus sur le passé de Rip Hunter. La bataille finale contre les chasseurs était super.

Fragmentation

With the Time Masters after the crew of the Wave Rider, the crew found a home in 19th century western United States and turned out a slightly more entertaining episode than in the weeks past.

Taking a science fiction television show/film into the west is a difficult task as the only real time I remember it being successful is with Firefly. So I had little to no confidence that this episode would do anything to further my interest in the show. Although it did have its entertaining moments, it once again suffered from the overly filler feel to the story. Why is it that Vandal Savage has only been in around 5 episodes? It's blatantly obvious that the writers were forced into writing 16 episodes for CW when the show was much better off on a 8- 10 episode run.

With that said, I enjoyed the presence of Johnathon Schaech as Jonah Hex. He doesn't get a ton to do, but he brought a different dynamic to a show that needed something to keep my interest. If they decide to shift the cast around next year, I would welcome Hex into the equation. As convenient as it was that they ended up in the same town as Hex, it was even more improbable that they ended up curing HG Wells of tuberculosis. First Bill Gates and now HG Wells? Perhaps the show is trying to be a little too clever.

Speaking of which, I'm really over any of the characters trying to fix something that may affect the future. Hasn't Stein been watching the implications each of his crew mates has made when they try stunts like that? I just don't like to see rehashed story lines.

Kendra and Sara went on their mini trip as the former apparently ran into her former self coincidentally. Yep, yet another 'random run in' for the crew. Anyways, this episode did little to further the plot at all or my interest, but it had its moments, and it was at least watchable television.

+Jonah Hex

+Different setting helped give some life to the show

-Rehashed arcs

-A little too many coincidences

6.7/10
