Full panel of Caity at the FanExpo Dallas. Video quality is bad, but the audio is good. Looks like the movie she's going to shoot in Thailand is called "Bangkok Lockdown".

Interview: Caity Lotz Discusses Directing Tonight’s Flash Sounds like Caity has a few projects lined up.

The full panel on Megacon is actually on someone's IG (Tere Clarkson), and Caity got to answer more questions than what was tweeted. She repeated a few things she said in the past - her favorite scenes/episodes are from Arrow (S2E5, because it was about Sara and also her father), she loves working on dramatic scenes (like on Arrow, where Sara was darker), Sara in Legends was completely different from Sara in Arrow. She was also asked by the moderator if she thought the creative team got who Sara was when she joined Legends. Caity said no (but not in a mean way because they were too busy figuring what to do with the many characters and the show). But she loved the Sara on Arrow, and the fans loved Arrow's Sara, so she didn't understand why they wanted to change to a different version of Sara. I also find it interesting that she would always pick Arrow scenes as her favorites, but very little about Legends. To be fair, she didn't have as much juicy scenes to do after S2. She was either part of the background, or used to prop up Ava, so what could she have chosen? I don't think they thought Sara would grow to be that important to Legends. Didn't Caity say she was at the bottom of the call sheet, when she thought she would be higher? I think they underestimated her popularity (like when they killed her off).

I would prefer not to see Sara's wife or kid if Sara ever goes to visit Barry. Basically, I want to forget about the whole pregnancy storyline. It would be good to see Sara on Flash though, since the Flash writers actually know how to write Sara. And she did bond with Barry on the last crossover. Caity also directed an episode of Flash, so she should be on pretty good terms with the Flash crew?

Sara's perpetually afraid of doing something wrong and disappointing Ava (she's said as much right before her proposal/abduction), and always apologizing to Ava whether it's her fault or not (usually not). As much as the writers like to say Sara/Ava are equals in their relationship, they're not. Yes, they've taken everything that used to be Sara's (her captaincy, her status as the best fighter on the team (by having Ava fight her to a draw, the way their fights were choreographed, and nerfing Sara to the extent where she can't even fight off a bunch of villagers), her humanity (by killing and replacing her with a clone)), and gave them to Ava, but how can they be truly equals when Sara is always emotionally inferior to Ava and feels she's in the wrong all the time?

Someone on another forum mentioned that because Bishop was going to populate the world with Sara clones, he must have added this specific alien's DNA to her DNA so they can reproduce easily. I have to say, that is completely plausible, and it just made the whole pregnancy thing even more problematic than I first thought. Bishop basically took away Sara's consent and agency by adding the alien DNA and resulting in her getting pregnant unknowingly. At least when humans get accidentally pregnant because of unprotected sex (or even protected sex but faced equipment failure), they still knew the risks. The possibility of getting pregnant this way is so ridiculous to Sara (and every other human) that there's no way she could have known. Why didn't Gary warn her beforehand? Yet, the writers must think it's cute that Ava got her pregnant, and failed to see how Sara's agency and right was once again taken away from her (the first time was when Bishop killed her and transferred her memories to a clone body without her consent). It's sad that things are just happening to Sara and her body without her consent, and yet such serious things are played for laughs.

I get the sense from one of Keto's interviews that they're interested in playing out the pregnancy storyline. And Klemmer seems impressed by Caity's comedic ability and Sara will probably be the freaked out pregnant lady and her pregnancy will be played for laughs.

They must have hired a fanfic writer when writing about Sara's pregnancy. This is some level of jumping the shark. They've jumped so far that they can't even see the shark anymore. If I hadn't seen the little human-looking girl last week, I would have thought this kid would look fully like the alien, since it was the alien genes that activated (it's impossible for a human to get pregnant this way) and it's also taking the alien's invulnerability power. I'm sad that this is what ends up being Sara's story. On a brighter note, Caity acted the heck out of the multiple freak out scenes. This should be her audition piece for a comedy show. If Nick is still in the show and there is a S8, he'll probably be back to save the Legends. I like Booster Gold, mostly because I like Donald. Not looking forward to a S8, because I don't want a pregnant Sara and the now increased chances of Sara missing in the episodes because of it, and Ava playing Captain in her place.

Caity might be directing an episode of Flash. LEGENDS OF TOMORROW’s Caity Lotz on Deck To Direct Season 8 Episode of THE FLASH Full picture of that notice: Reddit

After the last few episodes where Sara got to be her own person, she's once again stuck by Ava's side. NGL, I'm jealous everyone got to see their own future, but Sara's future has to tie in with Ava's. Having a kid feels very fanfic-like. And it irks me when they call each other Captain, when others call them Captains, and when Ava was standing side-by-side with Sara as Captains. I still fail to see what Ava has done to deserve the Captain title other than being the Captain's girlfriend-then-wife. And Ava wanting to save Alun and possibly breaking time in the process, isn't this the thing that she has scolded Sara for and made her feel guilty about, and have to apologize for? Making rash decisions without consulting each other? Out of everyone's future, I think I like Astra's the most. Feels most like her, and I think the most impactful. But Spooner going back to her mother also is great, because of what she has gone through as a child. I like the idea of Gideon taking over as Captain when the Legends retire. But not Evil!Gideon as her AI. Sometimes, I think Evil!Gideon loves killing people too much, and is just using "saving the timeline" as an excuse.

Why did Evil!Gideon want to kill Thawne? Don't their objectives align? The Zari vs Zari fight was epic, lol. Nick must have had a blast playing Robo!Nate. His Arnold accent was hilarious, and pretty good! Hee, Gideon called Astra "Mom". Astra is an over-protective Mom (as she should be, cos' Gideon is precious and should be protected at all costs). The writers love their irony. Astra created Human!Gideon, so Robo!Astra stabbed Human!Gideon. Bishop killed Sara, so Robo!Sara killed Bishop. It was so nice to see Sara be the one and only Captain these past few episodes, and be able to interact with the team by herself. It was good while it lasted. Love that the team still stands behind Sara no matter what, be it the team mate that was with her the longest (Nate), or the 2 newest team members (Spooner and Gwyn). Nice scene between Sara and Gwyn too, and that Sara trusted Gwyn's experience enough to let him lead. I love that Sara has no ego about being a leader. It's always about the mission, and whoever is most suited to lead the team for that mission. It's sad that that's the end of Robo!Sara. I was hoping she would get a redemption storyline. It was kinda chilling to see her this episode. Just kept quiet the entire time and killed whoever Gideon told her to kill, with that cold look in her eyes. I'm confused as to what Evil!Gideon can see/hear/monitor on the Waverider. Did she not sense that Behrad (and later Zari and Astra) was human and not a robot the moment he stepped onto the Waverider? Just like I thought she must have heard everything Sara and Zari were planning 2 episodes ago. But it seemed like she wasn't aware of these things.

Maybe the reason Thawne is helping the Legends is so he can sneak away on or steal the waverider and go somewhere the Time Writhes can't find him. Maybe one of the robots will replace him.

This was another great episode, especially for Sara. I didn't think I would get to see the Sara I know again after Robo!Sara, but I was wrong. This is the Captain Lance we deserve. Capable, driven, and would do anything for her team/family. And occasionally needs her team to pull her out of her self-doubt. Nate is no doubt her right-hand man here. I miss these two together. Nate is doing for Sara what Jax used to do. And they really work well together. It was sweet to see the whole team rallying behind Sara to give her the confidence boost she needed, and that helped her get the job done. And she did it the Legends way, by failing and learning from them. And she earned the respect of the whole bar in the process. I definitely wouldn't mind if we just keep this group in the bar as the Legends team. Did this episode double Sara's death count, lol? Nice that it was Sara who meets Thawne, since she (and Nate) are the only ones who know him and have a history with him. Why do I have the feeling that someone from the Legends team will be leaving the team and replacing him at the fixed point? Love how gleeful Gideon was when she found out it was a man who was killing people, not time itself. I was wondering where the fight scene that Caity posted last week went to. Turns out she posted a week early. The aerial cartwheels/handless flips she did in the episode and during rehearsals are just as amazing. Maisie did a good job directing the episode.

Sara is the most experienced in this department. She's died and came back in her own body twice, and also came back in a totally different clone-alien hybrid body. Seriously though, the writers just dropped the storyline about Behrad and Sara being close friends. They've not had any one on one talks ever since that premiere episode. It would be nice to also hear more about Sara's unprocessed issues since she's never really talked about them on Legends, as it's always "Ava, Ava, Ava" with her.

This was a funny episode. The standouts for me were Sara and Nate as one of the stars in Real Housewives and Jersey Shore. Nick's real arms were pretty big too, lol. Spooner was hilarious as a Survivor. Were the others supposed to be people from other reality shows? I guess Zari's from Keeping up with the Tarazi/Kardashians, but not sure who the others, especially Gideon, were supposed to be. The music and sound effects were great too. Love that Astra was so protective of Gideon, making sure she wasn't taken advantage of. And Gideon/Gary seem sweet together. Of course Sara is apologizing to Ava again. I feel like Sara spends half of the relationship apologizing to Ava. How am I supposed to feel they are equals when one party is always portrayed to be in the right, and the other in the wrong? They barely talked about being co-captains, as described in the synopsis, but I pretty much expected it to be Sara saying she can't do without Ava as her co-captain. Nice that Behrad got to talk about his feelings. I wonder how he felt when they had that documentary crew in their face all the time?

This was a fantastic episode. Tons of Sara, Nate was her No. 2 as it should be, Sara isn't gaga over Ava and was a total badass the whole time while looking good, Zari looked great too, Spooner and Behrad's competition with each other was hilarious, and even Gary was funny. And Sara got to go on missions with the team and actually talk to Zari on her own! This episode was like going back to Season 1 when the Legends found out someone was controlling their destiny, and their mission wasn't what they thought it was. I'd glad they spent an episode focusing on the "villains" like they did in S2 with the Legion of Doom, and unfortunately like in S2, Sara got betrayed by a teammate too. I thought that maybe this Sara would join the real Legends when her team wouldn't listen to her. Too bad she got reprogrammed to Assassin!Sara. I felt bad for her and Dr. Petrov at the end. Galvanizing the Legends to turn against Gideon while on the Waverider probably wasn't too smart. Wonder how Spooner knew about Sara's bo staff when she hasn't held it in years. And this Sara's high tolerance for pain (do Androids feel pain?) reminded me of how Sara had "come to an understanding with pain" back on Arrow. Evil Gideon did a good job building Android Sara from her history. This Sara is someone I recognize, unlike the one we have now. Can we keep this Sara (if she overcomes her new programming), lol?

Too. Much. Ava. And Bishop. I wish we're done with them. The best part was when Evil!Gideon duped Ava to the airlock and sent her off. Ava was getting too smug towards the end there. This was a boring episode for me, because Sara was barely there. Also, almost everyone got to talk about their feelings and frustrations, even Ava, yet Sara only got a 5-second hunting scene and she magically felt better. It was a missed opportunity too, because Sara would have something to talk to Spooner about, what with one of them being an alien hybrid and the other kidnapped/saved by alien mushroom. I know Davies went through something horrible, but I need him to calm down. Personally, I'm not a fan of such over-the-top characters. It's easy to tell who the writers' favorites are, Ava gets all the screen time, and Constantine/Davies get all the juicy storylines. Gideon remains the best part of the season, be it innocent Good!Gideon, or Evil!Gideon (are they trying to channel Janet from the Good Place?). Evil!Gideon is a much more worthy and interesting villain than Bishop/Ava. It was nice to see callbacks to last season though. And yes, Evil!Gideon, there should only be ONE captain on the Waverider.

For the first time in a long time, Sara actually got to go on a mission without Ava attached at her hips, and got to interact with other characters! It was so refreshing to see, and it's so nice to actually see a captain who held it together under stress and still managed to complete the mission. I really liked seeing Sara and Gwyn interact here. Sara missed the induction of the last few characters into the Legends team (Ava got to do that), so it was nice to see Sara bring Gwyn into the team this time. Loved Sara playing up the damsel in distress while being "held hostage" by Gwyn. I wonder if the show's COVID protocol people freaked out when the writers had Gwyn and Sara spit into their hands before shaking them, lol. I hope this is not the last time we see Sara and Gwyn interact (this is a real concern because Sara rarely gets to interact with other non-Ava characters anymore). And wasn't Sara and Constantine's first real interaction on Legends in an asylum too? Spooner and Astra are great as friends, but I hope we see them interact with other Legends in future. I liked when they had the Legends mix it up (a big reason why I dislike how Sara can only interact meaningfully with Ava). Is Behrad suddenly an engineer who understands blueprints and can build a time machine because he's taken the place of Zari 1.0, so her skills transferred to him? Gideon remains the MVP of the season. I kinda wanted to see the Legends' reactions when they first saw her in human form.

Re: playing different versions of their characters, is that when we saw pictures of Sara in her White Canary suit with her hair done differently, and Nate with the super huge upper arms?

I almost didn't recognize Sara in her red wig. Where are the Legends finding these costumes and wigs? How are they still able to do their glamorous hair without the Waverider, lol?

It was a nice trip down memory lane. Great seeing all the old Legends again. Jax! Stein! Ray! Cold! Nora! Rip! Even Hawkman was funnier. That said, there really was a lot of deaths on the Waverider, and both Gideon and Sara went through every single one. I didn't feel like we got enough of the old Legends. I would gladly switch out Bishop and Ava clone for more of the old Legends. BTW, I thought we were done with the Ava clones, but nope, we get more Ava clones this season. I did like all the callbacks too. Like when Captain Cold called Hawkman "big bird" to Sara, and Sara called Kendra that later in S1. And Sara used Gideon's "I'll throw you out the airlock" threat to Ray and Nate when they were messing around in S2. It was nice to see the old Sara when she wasn't attached to Ava at the hips. Though I didn't remember her being that angry and fighting the team so much in S1. I thought she usually stayed out of it and played more of an observer's role back then. And isn't the karaoke song the same one that was playing at the bar when Sara asked Cold to dance, then went on to kick the ass of men twice her size? I liked the focus on Gideon. And she's a good singer! I felt sad when she said she didn't want to forget right before Bishop erased her memories. So is she the one that bombed the Legends' waverider? Too bad there wasn't much of OG Sara since Caity had to direct. She did a very good job of it, the hallway scene was touching. But I would actually rather have more of the OG character on the show's 100th milestone episode than behind the scenes. Wished Sara could have more interactions with Stein, Jax and Cold. I thought it was a nice touch having Memory!Sara welcome Gideon to the team, partly because Sara wasn't involved in the recruitment of half the current Legends, and partly because Sara has the longest history with Gideon. I kinda hope this season's big bad isn't Bishop again, because been there, done that. And I really wish we're done with the Ava clones.

This was a fun episode. Sara's especially perky trying to calm everyone down and keeping them from freaking out *cough*Ava*cough*. Zari made me lol when she was all "this house is open concept, there's nowhere to hide!" I would actually like them to stay away from the magic and monsters and just stick to time travelling through historical periods like the earlier seasons. Human!Gideon looked beautiful in the field. I think I'm most interested in seeing where she goes this season. But only Sara has seen her human form, right? How did Spooner and Astra know it's her?

I'm not sure if Sara ever told the Legends she died, besides the fact that she's a clone, but she did say she was killed this episode, but like always, there was barely any reaction to it because they were all trying to survive. I don't think we ever got the answer to Sara's soul, and I don't think we'll ever get it. I personally see this clone simply as a (mixed) copy of Sara, while OG Sara is dead. Bishop has 6% of Sara's DNA and apparently thinks like Sara and knows everything she knows. Are we going to say Bishop is Sara? Does he have part of Sara's soul too? Even the Sara clone is not purely Sara since part of her is an alien, and the alien has manifested itself through its taste of food. Sara's new status as a clone is mostly played for laughs like her weird taste for food. Though Spooner was able to transfer Sara's regenerative powers to Behrad and Astra to save them from getting poisoned to death by the Zagarons like Sara did, so I guess that's cool.
