WOW what a penultimate episode. A really dark and emotional one too.

Maisie really nailed it on directing this episode. We got Spooner backstory which was awesome.

We lost 3 Legends due to Bishop. Guess that makes him the most competent bad guy in Arrowverse history.

I did like the Spooner storyline, it was a touching one, in a show that has mostly become a sitcom without a laugh track.

We get her origin story, that she's originally from 1925, and she escaped, via the Fountain, to the future when her mother was murdered by a greedy oil baron and his mooks.

We get the "I have to try and save her" thing, despite the change it would make. But she did it, Spooner did save her mother's life, while her younger self still goes into the future.

Spooner's time line is thus preserved,even though her mom didn't die.

We lost 3 Legends due to Bishop.

Did we?  No one was confirmed dead.

LOVED the Spooner storyline, and it was so touching for me. Especially learning that Spooner's timeline is preserved, even though her mom didn't die.

[Tim]

Yeah, Spooner had to go into the future.  That was the key event.

[Melinda Halliwell]

This was a good penultimate episode which dealt with John and Spooner's backstory written by former Legend actress Maisie Richardson Sellers who knew what she doing.

It was nice viewing Spooner's story learning how she escaped through the Fountain after her mother was murdered by the greedy oil barn obviously.

I know Spooner disrupted the timeline telling her mum who she is but she's lucky she didn't change too much then other than her mum not dying with kid her still going to the future. 

Did we just lose three Legends through Bishop? Wow despite me disliking him I must admit he's the only villain I've actually known who got them then.

You're a week behind.

[Melinda Halliwell]

I know. Am catching up on episodes of Legends and Supergirl I haven't seen.

[Tim]

Got it.
