Following up on Rec My Fandom!
Hi all! I just wanted to (belatedly, sorry) provide a place for all of our awesome fandom reccers to recap their recs for the edification of all. (Also, no, YOU went home and immediately watched all of "Billy & Billie." YOU did that.)
Please share your squee in the comments!

Dear fandom, you would perhaps like to watch Legends of Tomorrow! Because it is awesomely ridiculous and super enjoyable!
- Part of the CW's DC universe franchise, along with Arrow and The Flash . Currently in season 1, has been renewed for season 2.
- Actual plot: FOUND FAMILY OF WEIRDOS TRAVELING THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO AVERT THE APOCALYPSE!
This found family consists of:
- Rip Hunter, played by Rory from Doctor Who, a TIME CAPTAIN who has assembled this team. Think 10+ Mal Reynolds + most tragic of backstories!
- Leonard Snart (Captain Cold) and Mick Rory (Heatwave). Played by WENTWORTH MILLER and DOMINIC PURCELL of Prison Break, as rogue thieves who come on this mission to steal cool stuff through time. Miller is PURE WTAF GOLD. He delivers every line in this inexplicably sultry noirish drawl! Heatwave is a destruction puppy! I have feelings about them!
- Dr. Martin Stein, played by VICTOR GARBER! and Jefferson Jackson! They have a CANONICAL SOULBOND. When they "join", they become F.I.R.E.S.T.O.R.M., a nuclear-powered flying, flaming single unit of awesome.
- Sara Lance/ White Canary. A highly trained assassin, returned from the dead, CANONICALLY BISEXUAL and super cool. Sometimes angsts about murder.
- Kendra Saunders/ Hawkgirl. She has wings. Sometimes. (the wings may be related to some "female power"/ sexuality/ orgasm thing, or that could just be the Erica Jung talking). An ancient Egyptian priestess reincarnated through time! A built-in barista AU! Amnesia!
- Ray Palmer/ ATOM. He's making an art form out of the blandly handsome nice guy thing! He pines a lot! He also built a suit that lets him fly or shrink down super tiny and have adventures in people's veins!
Why you should watch it:
-Wide open canon! One week, they are hanging out in the 60's! Next week, soviet gulag! Then we zip to a dystopian future!
-Choose your own adventure shipping! All of these people should bone! Pick any permutation, they'll be great together.
- CALLUM KIETH RENNIE, SPACE PIRATE. No, really.
-WENTWORTH MILLER'S EVERYTHING. (he's said in interviews that Snart is pansexual, let's hope the show gets there)
-Queer, Jewish, and POC characters!
- This is an actual thing on actual TV!
- AND IT IS REALLY RIDICULOUSLY FUN.
