Gideon is hurt, not dead, thankfully.   

I hope that they can save her without sacrificing her humanity.

OMG.THAT EPISODE. I am SPEECHLESS. This episode kept twisting and turning right up to the last second. Every single scene in this episode was fantastic, all of it was so, so well done.

It felt so final, with the Legends retiring. But it also felt so fake, those futures that Gideon showed them. I was waiting for the Legends to see straight through it, and then they started disappearing from the photo and I thought I was going to cry because it felt so final.

Every single emotional scene was heart wrenching. Nate and Zari, Behrad and Astra, Gary and Gideon, Ava and Gwyn. And then Gwyn and fake Alun. 

And that ENDING. I can’t WAIT until next week. I sincerely hope it’s a season finale and not a series finale. But, I don't think they'd end Legends, we'd have heard if it was ending already.

I can't see the Legends just giving up.  They'll be back.

Question is:  What about Gary!?

[DC Fanatic]

Clever using Gideon's own self-preservation protocols to justify keeping human Gideon alive since they're technically the same person, just in a different format.

I think it is an interesting conundrum whether the Legends should retire. It did feel like for much of the season they cared more about getting home or getting the ship back just so they wouldn't be stuck in the past rather than because they cared about protecting the timeline, especially with the stuff they messed up along the way.

It totally slipped my mind that Spooner was the shortest member of the team up until it became plot-relevant.

President Astra has a nice ring to it.

Season finale is next week.
