No Country for Old Dads is similar to Legion of Doom in that this ep establish the Darhks as interesting complex villains that you want to root for as well want defeated. This dichotomy is what made the Legion and s2 so amazing, so it's a good sign for the Darhks and this season. It absolutely helps to see Nora as more than the hissing henchwoman or the heartbreaking victim of her father's machinations. Likewise Damien seemingly truly cares about his daughter, although this is Damien Darhk so remains to be seen if he's just having fun playing her because Vogal's storyline feels very foreshadowy. How this all ends for Nora is turning into the most interesting storyline because she can't possibly have a happy ending given all she's done, yet she is a victim, too.
Other highlights:
+ Mick in a tie-dye!
+ the answer to what's Grodd up to these days
+ Wally's intro to the team and learning that this isn't the good ship lollipop
+ interesting version of baby-tossing while fending off your bad self
+ Damien in yet another terrible wig
+ Poor Zari with another exposure to a teamate's canoodling
+ the totems' purpose
+ If anyone can turn evil good, it'd be Ray
Score: 9
