Ava (to everyone): "I'm kinda nervous. Things rarely wrap up in a neat little bow for us."
Oh Ava, you definitely shouldn't have jinxed yourself and the crew there. Not that she was wrong though. Things were going too well for the Legends that something had to go wrong. Being stranded in 1925 because another Waverider blew up the first one will definitely be something to get used to for next season.
Concentrating on this season though, the previous episode made it appear that three members were taken out of the equation, only for all three to live another day. Mick actually survived Bishop's planned little explosion and proved to Kayla that he wanted to step for their kids. He got some nice moments with Sara but his exit was signposted for long enough and after six seasons, this felt like a good exit for the character.
Then there was Spooner herself. She looked like she was about to die but the Legends having the idea of getting a younger version of Bishop to hear cure Spooner and reconnect her with the Fountain actually worked. Looks like we've got Spooner for another season. As for younger Bishop - the reaction to his older self was priceless.
As a villain, Bishop started off okay but got better towards the end. His plan to use the Zagarons to get rid of everyone so only him and Sara could live almost worked until Constantine's parting gift of getting the Legends to connect with one another in order to take out the invading aliens. Bishop also ending up as food for Mick and Kayla's 48 kids was definitely his just desserts.
As for Constantine, it's been quite the adventure but he's alive and somewhat redeemed. While we're probably unlikely to see Matt Ryan play the character in live action for a while (definitely think he'll still voice the role in animated projects), this served as a decent exit for the character. He got a scene each with Sara and Zari but also accepted that his time with the Legends had come to an end. He'll be missed but at least Matt Ryan will have a new character to play next season.
Last but not least, it was a wedding for Sara and Ava before and during the threat of the word ending. I've never been the biggest shipper but it's been interesting to see their relationship evolve over the last four years and this wedding was nicely done. Now that they're married and a certain pairing has thankfully ended with a character departure, I do wonder who will be the next couple on the show.
- I think this was the first season where Sara didn't get to wear her White Canary attire, though Nate did briefly steel up and Spooner helped the gang swap abilities at different points during the battle.
- I might be reading into it way too much but even I'm starting to wonder Astra has a thing for Spooner.
- Standout music: Behrad's version of Songbird was rather sweet.
- Chronology: We're gonna be stuck in 1925 for the foreseeable. Season 7 also premieres from October 13th.
The Fungus Amongus might have borrowed a trick from a previous finale and may not have have had anything as crazy as a battle during a Sisqo song but this was a good way of ending a season that hasn't been the series at it's best. With next season being grounded and a landmark episode approaching, I'll look forward to seeing what happens next with this lot.
