well anyway i watched legends of tomorrow 6.02 “meat: the legends” it was pretty good! i don’t have a lot to say about this one tbh it was just a solid episode with some good plot stuff and good character stuff. i enjoyed both the main plot with the meat alien and the b plot with the other planet.

i feel like the storyline with the alien sauce that made everyone crave meat was a reference to a specific horror film but if so it is a film i have not watched. still i thought it was an entertaining and kind of amusingly hokey plot for this episode. at times the camera work felt like it was evoking the styles of the horror films from the 50s which is when this story is set and i thought that was fun. i thought the moth alien was gorgeous when it finally emerged and i’m kind of surprised this show has been able to do such detailed visual effects in both this episode and the previous one since it’s yknow the cw. anyway yeah all good stuff.

i thought it was so funny how behrad was so into flipping burgers. like spongebob. it’s kind of a nice insight into his character how he enjoys this task that most people would hate bc it’s something people appreciate him for that sets him apart from his sister. really awesome to see him and zari working together toward the end. i love the sibling relationship. i like when behrad admits that it was kind of childish and patriarchal of him to try to gatekeep the family totem. because it is so easy for men to kind of fall into that default of traditional patriarchal values even if they mean well, and i like that he recognizes his mistake there and tries to rectify it. and then zari 1.0 splits the totem in two so they can both have it :) i love that.

conflict between ava and spooner is really good. first off i like that spooner is very short bc whenever the camera has her pov looking up at ava i can pretend that its me looking up at ava bc i too am very short. sorry for that digression i just had to get that in there. anyway i like that it’s a conflict of ava being kind of naive and unwilling to accept that these aliens can be unreasonable and deadly, because if they are then that means the chances of sara’s survival are that much slimmer. whereas spooner sees the aliens for the danger they are and feels that the only way to deal with them is to kill them, and she’s also pushing for ava to give up hope of sara being alive because spooner gave up hope of her mother being alive long ago. and it’s like spooner knows how much it hurts to hope when you have no reason to hope and how it inevitably leads to crushing disappointment and she wants to spare ava that feeling. but in the end they come to an understanding in which ava learns that sometimes killing is the only option and spooner learns not to give up hope just yet. i like that we get that very vulnerable moment with spooner toward the end of the episode bc it helps us sympathize with her more. i mean i was already a fan of her but it’s good to see that vulnerability because it humanizes her and shows the complexity of her character. also i really liked when ava called sara her WIFE and when she poured a glass for her out of habit. ohhhh she misses her so much.

i really enjoyed the plot of sara and gary on the alien planet. how did they let a dog fool them AGAIN!!! i loved how much the alien planet set looked like something from star trek. tos specifically. just so delightfully campy. and then when they meet amelia earhart that reminded me of in star trek voyager when janeway meets amelia earhart and they have sex (not really but i know in my heart it happened). i think if sara had not been with ava then she definitely wouldve put the moves on miss amelia. at least until she found out amelia was an ALIEN :O this might be a reach but i feel like the star trek vibes of the set + the fact that voy also featured its captain meeting amelia earhart on an alien planet + just all the time travel in LoT which lets them meet lots of historical figures all work to make the audience let their guard down and keep them from suspecting that amelia earhart is actually an ALIEN until it’s revealed to sara herself. if that was intentional then that’s a really fun use of metatextuality on the writers’ parts. sara looked pretty weak after that bite....i hope she was not injected full of alien poisons. actually i hope she was and we see her delirious and it’s really dramatic cause that could be fun. it’s nice how she sort of learns to appreciate gary’s company in this episode. i think it would be so funny if when they’re finally reunited with the legends sara and gary are like besties and ava is very confused on how that could have happened.

anyway thats how i felt about this one :) loving the star trek vibes i hope the show keeps em coming!
