Legends of Tomorrow: Swan Thong
June 2, 2020 7:28 PM - Season 5, Episode 14 - Subscribe
Still controlled by the Fates, the Legends find themselves in 1984-esque world, they soon discover that things aren't as they thought they would be. The Legends must convince the civilians to trust them and stand up for their right to choose, but the Fates don't make it easy by resurrecting the Encores once again. (Season Finale)
Same. I guess the whole 'Thong Song' fight scene was supposed to be this year's giant-Beebo over-the-top hilarious sequence but I don't think I actually laughed out loud once in the finale. And while I understand there was no way logistically for them to keep both Zari's around, losing Zari 1.0 was a bummer. And Behrad is fine, but so far he's no Brandon Routh.

Exactly. That Thong Song bit was such a waste. It had no tie-in to anything. It was so stupid and random. I was hoping we could get a blended Zari as opposed to strictly 2.0. Speaking of Brandon Routh, I couldn't believe they brought his wife back for the episode after they dumped him. Ouch!

So all the 1984 no-villainy stuff was left in the timeline and not reset-buttoned? I'm interested in how the other Arrowverse locales reacted to that happening in the middle of the battles against Leviathan, Alice, etc.

I actually enjoyed it. But I was left really disappointed that they vanished Zari 1.0. I wish they'd found a way to keep them both, even if it meant (because of the challenges of shooting a double role) they were going to swap places frequently. Heck, that could have been HILARIOUS, if they swapped unpredictably! And really difficult for the sex lives of four characters!
There were 15 extra minutes of this show that they had to cut. I'd like to see the full version.

They can both be in reality at the same time for short periods, yes? And/or Zari 1.0 can inhabit Zari 2.0's body?

Overall, this left me flat. Even with Charlie's departure (which I wasn't expecting) and the way they handled the double Zari issue, I just couldn't get emotionally involved.
