Amaya got a big boost this ep. The realization that she's awesome without her totem, thanks to Mick shepherding her along but not to the point of being a helicopter parent, was muuuuuuch needed, as was her scenery chewing enjoyment as a dreaded pirate queen.
Mick really is coming into his own as the sergeant Sara's captain. He's nudging each member towards what they need. And it definitely helps that he's also enjoying their stumbling around while they're at it. Heh.
Wally and Rip's excellent adventure was just that what with getting drunk, pantsing Gary, his and Rip's pretty good Careless Whisper duet, just to name some of their shenanigans. (Wally acknowledging Cisco, Caitlin, Barry and Wells' as team flash due to their expertise is some shade at how he was kicked off because of Iris and how unbelievable her place on the team is. Another reason why Legends is better than Flash. )
Ray (and Zari)'s time with young Nora bore fruit this ep, and while Ray's action falls into the hero being an idiot, it was still very much in-character. Hopefully, the writers don't muck up and fix this hole he's in.
Legends is giving me the Sara-is-party-pooping-den-mom-vibe. Her date with Ava suffered dateus Legenditus interruptus, of course, and for a bit there, I was horrified thinking they were lurching into Iris'-you-left-me!-land. But thankfully pirates boarding the Waverider knocked both ladies back to their usual kickass mode which also put them back in their right minds. *phew!*
Poor Zari gets sidelined again, but I agree with her: not feeling her new 'do.
As Pirates of the Caribbean was an ok movie series at best, this homage naturally isn't as great as the others, but it was still fun and there were a lot of in-character moments. Score: 8
