Tomorrow Today: Media & Behind The Scenes Of LOT

Awww, Cold got a moment!

[kirinan]

How happy did that shot of Cold make me, you ask? Really, really, really, really happy! I don't know if it's an old shot or a new one, but I'll take it! I liked the look at Vixen, and Sara's moment was kickass. (Also loved the Flash stuff.) 

[Sakura12]

That shot of Cold, Heatwave and Sara were from the promo they did for last season.

[CabotCove]

Legends of Tommorrow Top 3 characters (Atom/White Canary/Firestorm) were in it!

As far as LoT is concerned, happy with Superhero fight club 2.0.

Wouldn't call Jax one of LoT's top characters screentime- or popularity-wise (not to mention his writing), but at least they're trying (I'd prefer they tried with writing though).

I did love the promo, like I said on Arrow forum. So much better than last year's. And of course, seeing Sara be so prominent was all kinds of awesome.

The whole thing is still here or you can watch on the Cw App. 

[Sakura12]

I think those three are the only ones with actual superhero costumes, that's why there were in it. Rip and Mick just wear jackets.

I liked this one better than last years. It's nice to know that Cisco and Felicity created a danger room for them. 

[squidprincess]

I agree, also Rip and Mick aren't as flashy when it comes to fighting, gun and flamethrower are not as visually interesting as Sara's martial arts, Firestorm's powers, and Atom's suit.

I liked it, it's a cute promo.

(I am sad about the lack of Vixen, because it would have been neat to see her in action.  But I think she's one of those characters that they're trying to keep mostly under wraps for now.)

[Sakura12]

I also think it's because Vixen hasn't officially been introduced yet. 

[scarynikki12]

That was really good.  I think every character included made sense, as did the ones left out.  And I loved, more than even my girl Sara kicking ass, Diggle's reaction to J'onn.  Even if I hated everything else I would give it all the stars for that moment.  I don't know if J'onn is in the crossover (do NOT spoil me) but, if he is, they need to recreate that moment.  It was epic.

[Sakura12]

I liked seeing Supergirl and Sara together. I wish we could've gotten a little flirting from Sara.

Time and place, though :)  .  Maybe we'll see some in the crossover.

I think they'd have less time in the crossover, they take care off all the crazyness that comes with that. This would've been the perfect time to have Sara flirt with Kara and see Kara's reaction to that.

The CW has added four episodes to the second season of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, TVLine has learned, giving White Canary and the gang a bit more time to fix all of those historical aberrations.

The latest order brings the Season 2 episode total to 17.

 ??

Just the right amount,thanks CW.

[Proteus]

I had a good feeling this would happen since MG said some plans for this season weren't written yet and there's no way they don't know where the show is headed by now at least to episode 13. Very good news. This is my favorite comic book based show.

[Featherhat]

Good news. This season has been so much better than S1 so far now that they aren't tied down to the Hawks and Vandal Savage (although I do miss Rip). It's not got the best ratings but it does seem to be stable. 17 episodes is good because the SFX already look ropey sometimes so using the extra budget for that instead of 22 is worth it. I'm really just pleased we get more Sara onscreen but everyone else has also grown on me (including Ray which I would never have thought possible. )

[MarkHB]

I am honestly not sure that the extra budget can profitably go to improving the SFX very much, to be honest, at least not the CGI ones.  There are two main cost centers for CGI: labor expense in crafting the initial models, and rendering time to generate the finished product.  The more-detailed the models (example: the individual hairs bristling in Grodd's fur), the more work they are to create, and the longer the rendering time to bring them to life, and the rendering time HAS to follow completion of the model for obvious reasons (I've never worked with modern production 3D CGI stuff, but I'd be be very surprised if you can update a model during a render).  If you're going to throw more money into the effects budget, the time to do so is shortly after the renewal announcement so Armen can plan the project timeline; in the middle of production they might be able to tweak the existing models a little, but there's not going to be much time to create all-new ones and have them look good in time for this season (I'm assuming they're already working on an updated model for Ray's new suit if he's getting one, so if they are getting more SFX money that might wind up looking better than it would have otherwise).

[Sakura12]

Since this tv and the CW, I can forgive their crappy CGI. They don't have the budget and have to what they can. I'd rather they spend it on the heroes then one off bad guys. Nate's steel looks good to me. That's what matters.

I agree for the most part but that was one extra crappy one off bad guy.  I want to believe that there were other mitigating circumstances to explain that crap beyond time and money.  They could have done better with creative camera angles, shadows and monster suits.

[Proteus]

I don't find the CGI crappy. Never have.

Not even when the Nazi took some super serum and hulked out?  That's the one I'm talking about.  

[Proteus]

No, I had no problem with that creature. It looked fine to me.

The second promo for the crossover ran during Supergirl last night... first look at the villains:

[Sakura12]

LoT is moving to Tuesdays after the Flash on Jan 24th. Supernatural is taking LoT's spot, and Riverdale is taking Supernatural's old spot. 

"DC's Legends of Tomorrow" Moves to Tuesdays at 9pm Starting Jan. 24; 

http://www.spoilertv.com/2016/11/cw-announces-midseason-2017-premiere.html

[Starfish35]

I actually think that's a good move for them, and putting them behind their biggest show I think is a sign that they want the show to work.  They could have put Riverdale there, and actually I expected them to.

[Sakura12]

Hopefully people stick around after the Flash just because it's in the same universe and Captain Cold is supposed to be back as well. 

[MadyGirl1987]

The only thing I am worried about is that it will be up against This Is Us, a ratings powerhouse, on Tuesday at that time. Hope that the live ratings don't take a hit because of that. Luckily I think streaming now plays such a big role a hit to live views isn't necessarily a death sentence.

Edited November 17, 2016 by MadyGirl1987

[Starfish35]

That is true.  I'm not sure what the crossover audience is between TIU and LoT, but yeah, it's  one of the season's biggest hits (I think maybe only Empire is getting better ratings in scripted shows, but I might be wrong on that).  So yeah, that could potentially be a problem. :(

[Sakura12]

Does This is Us skew more female? If so then it won't really affect LoT since it skews more male. 

[scarynikki12]

I know I'm a lover of both shows but I'll watch LOT live. It has Sara and I don't mod the TIU forum so I can wait til 9 to watch.

LOT was going up against TBBT + Grey Anatomy +NFL on Thur, 3 ratings juggernauts, I think it will be fine against TIU. TIU might weaken a bit by spring anyway.

[kismet]

I think it will be a good move for the show to Tues to hopefully retain some Flash audience. I'm just personally bummed because it will conflict with This is Us. And as much as LoT is a fun show to watch. There is something magical about TIU, that will almost always choose to watch it live over another show, including LoT.

But I'm not a Nielsen, so it doesn't really matter. Honestly, I'm  just glad to see it get more episodes, if they needed to move it so be it.

[BkWurm1]

Tuesdays should give it its best chance at its widest audience.  I'm hoping the crossover shows off how fun it can be and how well it balances its large cast.  I remain impressed how LoT can have seven large personalities plus guest stars in every episode and no one on the show feels marginalized.    Team Arrow right now also has seven and it feels like a bloated mess where a third of the cast are barely doing anything.    

Edited November 18, 2016 by BkWurm1

[MarkHB]

It's surprised me that they haven't done many two-parters this season.  Last year they did quite a few, I assumed to help reduce costs by reusing temporary sets.

[J0nas3]

The sad truth is that I likely will end up watching LoT live, even though I like TIU, because the CW failed to make a deal with Hulu and I loathe the CW streaming app. So much.

?so lit!

^Thanks for link

[MarkHB]

I wonder if this is related to the emergency in 2016 that Sara mentioned in Outlaw Country.... looks scary!

[scarynikki12]

So I purposely didn't buy season 1 because I knew the Black Friday prices would be low and I'm cheap. I'm right as Target is selling for $10 but, naturally, it's sold out. Meanwhile there are plenty of copies of Flash and Arrow on the shelves so I'm choosing to take this as a good sign. 

[BkWurm1]

Looks like Amazon and Best Buy also have them on sale for $9.99. 

[scarynikki12]

I found it at a different location but that's also good to know!

On a different note, I picked up my White Canary Funko today and, as I walked around GameStop, I noticed a few others.  It was only after I paid that I realized I'd purchase Sara's and Cold's Funkos together.  Completely unintentional but it did amuse me.  Clearly I need to see the characters together again.

[MadyGirl1987]

Renewed, along with Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl.

[Sakura12]

I'm happy for the early renewel. This show isn't perfect, but it's a fun to watch.
