The latest episode of Legacies was so good--interesting, hilarious, creepy, fast paced and so unbelievably heartwarming. The constant switching up of dynamics is so much fun, Hope and Freyaās moment together absolutely wrecked me, and I think how the memories returned played out very nicely. I also love the heavier presence of Kaleb, and hope his sister sticks around for the long haul. Plus, Matt Donovan the mayor? Iām here for that and glad we got answers about what heās up to nowadays.
Issues? I donāt think we needed theĀ āI had a crush on Josie when I was 14ā³ queer bait, I have to ask myself why Mystic Falls boy (I donāt even remember his name because heās yet to be important to the story at all whatsoever)Ā was running in a graveyard at night (seriously, why?????), and Iām disappointed with Sebastianās reveal.Ā
A recurring guest star just to help vanquish a monster of the week? Yes, itās a monster that facilitated the return of peoples memories, but the stakes donāt feel high enough considering how long heās been around, and the whole reveal itself feels somewhat contrived. We donāt know Cassandra and we donāt really care about her, so why was she the puzzle piece to all of this? Iām Ā hoping thereās more to the story and Sebastian doesnāt merely become a love interest for Lizzie (who, by the way, is slaying this season, I love what theyāve done with her character--thereās so much more complexity).Ā
Overall, this show is just soaring week after week, and Iām never unimpressed.Ā Ā
Addendum:Ā
*I have to wonder whatĀ theyāre doing with this wholeĀ āRaf has feelings for Hopeā storyline. Hope has never shown any interest beyond friendship, and he continues to admit his feelings and then walk away, without her pursuing it in any regard. It feels flat for me. I want Rafael to have better material.Ā
*Feels clear Landon, at least for the time being, will choose Josie. Probably because she brought his memories back regardless of what may or may not happen, giving him agency to his own life, while Hope couldnāt do the same.Ā
*I really appreciate the younger actors on this show. They inhibit their characters so incredibly well, I couldnāt imagine anyone else playing their roles. Which is why I canā understand why people donāt like Landon--heās so good!Ā
*What if Cassandraās last name is..Bennett?
