LEGENDS OF TOMORROW: There's A Giant Octopus In The New Promo For Season 4, Episode 5: "Tagumo Attacks!!!"

A good episode. I still feel like most of these early season 4 Legends episodes are a bit conservative and held back. I want to see more magic from Constantine, and I want to see threats that more up his ally. Darker, more violent magical creatures. Tonight's creature certainly was more in line with that, though it was a bit of a shame that we didn't see the creature in its 'final' form for more of the episode.

Some good humor in this episode, especially with John and Ray. I think the writers also used this episode to show why Ava doesn't join the Legends more in the field on their missions; it just isn't really her kind of job. Do like that Charlie has fully accepted her now position as a member of the team, she certainly fits in well with Rory.

Sara and Ava becoming kids was pretty neat, and their take down of the creature. Some sick moves. Nice to give Ava a little bit of a childhood and pick up a storyline from season 3. The Legends writers certainly do a great job with this, addressing stuff that has happened previously in the show, no matter how far back.

It was great to have a couple nods towards Jason Voorhees. Wish we'd had a few more though.


Also, we got two nods to Swamp Thing, with John even saying he knows him up in Maine. Pretty neat.

Once again, John was the best part of the episode. And we learn a little bit more about him each time. We got some references to his past and to previous appearances in the Arrowverse. We got the "on with the show" line from Arrow season 4. We got references to Astra when John said he wasn't going to lose another child. And we also had John saying he had a friend just like Ray who was hurt because of him; could this be Chas?? And what the heck did Constantine have rolled up under his sleeve? I noticed that every time, kept thinking it would be something important that they would reveal. Was it just a pack of cigarettes?

Probably some other stuff I missed, tough to get everything when its on the TV.

This was a much better episode and made me chuckle a few times, specially with how easily Constantine got results with magic tricks to get the summer kids to talk compared to Ray doing things the old fashioned way. Episodes like these where Ray lets his inner child out (well that always happens) tend to affect a bit his intelligence but I think he's softening up Constantine a little when it comes to open up the heart he carries in his trench coat so, it served some purpose.

The opening got me haha. "Swamp Thaaang". Never would've thought Sara used to be a lot into summer camp, brought out a more carefree side of her.

I definitely am starting to think that something or someone(s) from Constantine's past all the way from S1 is gonna be involved in the bigger plot by the way he continues to warn the Legends how he's bad company. I just wanna know what it is going on.

Only thing I found weird was that they killed the creature this time rather than sending it back to Hell. I guess Constantine weakened it enough to allow Ava and Sara to destroy him.

I just realized that since now Maisie Richardson-Sellers is English so her character remaining her accent from UK as "Amaya" makes the job for her easier. I wonder how she is going to help considering her powers are blocked thanks to Constantine.

Next week's magical monster looks like the best one yet, gives me flashbacks of the Leviathan episode. I just hope Nate's subplot doesn't take away too much, I get it is for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivity in RL so it better pay off later into the plot, if not it'll feel like a waste.

I've watched too many hentais not to know where this is going with the giant octopus.

I wish Routh was still playing Superman. He was a great fit for the roll.

OMG!! A "Colossus, The Forbin Project" reference on this week's Flash! Does ANYBODY besides me remember that movie starring Eric Braeden?
