"I say don't touch it." "Right, but on the other hand... why not?"
RobinKarlsson2230 July 2020
What a hilarious episode this is! Guggenheim's directing is fantastic and everything is shot stunning. A very eye pleasing episode, with great aesthetic on it. The visuals and the colours mixed very well.

Tala, Nick, Matt and Shayan owns it. Ramona Young does a great comeback and delivers her best performance. She was written very well and i wouldn't mind if she became regular if she was written this way, like outside the box. Very clever.

The humor in the beginning and how emotionally it got in the end was a nice trip. It was done well, it's hard to pull it off. Ngl this episode highly reminded me of Supernatural "Changing Channels", but the reason behind it was very different.

Definitely a 10/10 episode.

What a season
elwinpjohn27 May 2020
This has been a great season and this year the legends were the best arrowverse show......the episode brings out again an unique way of continuing from the previous story and basic plot of the season really excitable finale can be expected

The biggest crossover yet on Fates+
KookShanty28 May 2020
I have not enjoyed this season save for a few episodes, and this is one of those episodes. It has an incredibly creative concept, that is done perfectly, with humor and emotion. This concept is also added to in other unique ways. If the entire season was like this I would be much happier. Even characters I hate were used well. Really hoping the finale keeps this up!

This show gets it, man.

Ya know, some shows are stupid. And that's okay. They're low-stakes, funny, not something to be taken too seriously. On paper, "Legends" is one of those shows, but around the end of Season 3, it's like the writers saw that paper, and were like "Oh, it's a stupid show? Well we should lean into that then!", and the show's been all the better since. No more vapid, self-serious plotlines about race (S2E3 "Abominations") or forced love affairs (all of season 1), or characters learning the same lessons over and over and over again (We get it, Mick Rory likes crime, just pick a lane, kid!!). This episode showcases all the best parts of Legends. Great use of it's supporting cast, a triumphant return for Zari 1.0, utilization of a really funny main ensemble, loving pop culture parodies, and even a musical number about emotional repression! I could go on and on. Also, I'm not ashamed to admit that the short montage of the Legends remembering their former selves got me a little choked up. And another thing! I love the way this show utilizes John Constantine. No, it's nothing like Hellblazer but A) Duh, and B) Absurdism has always been a part of Constantine's mythos. This show just leans into that part a little more than most. The only negative I have for this episode really is that I wish Brandon Routh was still around for it. We miss you Brandon.

THE BEST EPISODE OF LEGENDS
e_bas_me_briga27 May 2020
...and not only of this show, this is one of the best episodes of TV, ever. I literally can rave on and on about it, but the fact is - you just need to watch it and enjoy this amazingly written hour!

Great Show! Still missing Ray/Nora
melnomading30 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Loved this episode! Nate has been out in the cold for too long, was a good bump for his character. Still, i could definitely feel Ray and Nora's presence lingering in the background. Was disappointed when they didn't pop in for Mr. Parker's Cul-De-Sac. And please Mona stay! #mona4eva

Amazing

I know this is so similar to the end of season 2, as soon as it started I thought that, but honestly this was so much better! It got even more amazing and different as the episode went on, definitely one of my favourite episodes of the season, and to throw in a throwback to the Mr Parker's culdesac episode was even better. Well done Legends writers, this is why I keep loving your show!

Best of the best. Legends did a Truman's show episode.
RainbowLynx31 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best episodes of Legends. To me - best of all. Great humor, some drama, and amazing visuals.

I immediately got all the connections to other popular TV shows, but one of them I got only after a few days: it's a Truman's show! The whole idea of life inside a TV show, the ending with going through the door... Absolute perfection.

Unexpected
rrberthelot16 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Did legends of tomorrow accidently do an episode on media bias? Lots of nice little references here inclusing a shot reminscent of that famous Apple commercial and am end that was way too much like Shock Treatment for me to think it was accidental.

Oh my fates, this was rough
sbuhrman-7479827 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It feels like the writers know the show is quirky and now they want to prove to everyone how quirky they can truly be! It's still a shame to watch this season repeat everything season 2 did, but in a much less interesting manner!

I love this show! I stand by it. I'm just scared if this is the path we continue to take. The dialogue was super forced and some of the moments weren't even well deserved.

Perks of this episode- Nate finally reunited with his version of Zari and it made me so happy for them! Zari and her brother reunited. Basically everything Zari related (and Sara still being blind and having powers) is great. Mick is still funny as hell. Even John having his closure with Astra. These things are great, but they're muddled, and quite possibly beaten, by the repetitive, forced, weird, and goofy nature of what this show is becoming. The legends are weird, sure. Keep them weird! STOP FORCING IT THOUGH!!!! The multiple tv show Parodies thing has been so overdone in actual shows.

I hope this finale knocks the socks off of what is a severely disappointing ending to a promising beginning half of the season. Love the Legends. Dislike how they're being treated by the writing team.

Easily legends best episode
chrisglazzard25 June 2020
Warning: Spoilers
The episode is easily the best episode of legends of tomorrow & is about the legends trapped in multiple tv show being watched by a strange alternate timeline and there all rip offs like real shows like friends or Star Trek but the entire episode is clearly or accidentally a rip off of a black mirror episode.

Jumped the Shark
notar-312321 June 2020
This episode clearly shows legends has well and truely jumped the shark and should be laid to rest. Often shows go on too long when they should have ended sooner this episode shows this should happen with legends. Season 6 should be the last unless the writers can come up with better story lines

Another boring episode
steve-nash01927 June 2020
What's happening with the episodes at the moment they are rubbish, think the writers have lost their way.
