I'm not sure when this season became more about Rip Hunter than it did the Legion of Doom. Doesn't it feel like they have barely gotten their chance to do anything this season? Was anyone asking for Rip to come back? I was enjoying this season until it started heading in a questionable direction.
Rip somehow was able to say three words and shut down the entire Waverider through Gideon. I'm sorry, why didn't he do this the first time he tried to take the Legends out on the ship? What is the point of having him back anyway? Especially now that he's no longer a villain and a "Legend" again. Why aren't we getting more Doom centric episodes? I like this show the most when it's not taking itself too seriously and exploring the depths of time travel in weird and goofy ways. Having an entire episode centered around Rip's mind and how it works is not how I would like to spend 42 minutes.
Gideon made a real-life appearance in Rip's subconscious and Amaya, Ray, and Nate all had a run-in with a prehistoric dinosaur. It was quite the episode, but nothing I wouldn't expect from Legends. I would just like to know the point of Rip's side arc. The focus isn't really on the journey to avenge Rex Tyler anymore. There were some cool moments and surprises to this episode, but as of right now, I'm starting to question whether or not this show is worth watching. Making Rip's walk back into the bridge slow-motion and "epic looking"? No, just no.
