I'm caught up on all the shows except for Arrow of which I've only seen the first two seasons. I know Sara dies in my next episode of Arrow so I've been putting it off but I plan on getting caught up on it by summer at the latest.
Of the three I am caught up on, Legends is my favourite but I also really love the Flash and Supergirl.
Favourite Character? Leonard Snart. He originally caught my attention on the Flash because he was the first one to actually like being a supervillain and I liked how his journey went from that to being a hero on Legends. I also find he's a very tragic character. I'll stop there because I could probably write a whole post about how much I love him. I'm constantly living in denial that he'll return from the dead at any moment.
Second fave is Leo because he's Snart but happy. After that there's a whole lot of characters (in no particular order) Zari, Sara, Ray, Mick, Nate, Amaya, Ava, Constantine, Charlie, Barry, Iris, Cisco, Kara, Lena, Oliver, Nia, Brainy, Alex, Nora, Thawne, Harry, Sherloque, Ralph and many many more.
OTP: Mick/Snart and Leo/Ray T. It depends on my mood which one I favour at the moment. Leo/Ray because they're cute and sweet, Mick/Snart because they're possessive and dicks to each other but also care for each other in their own fucked up ways.
Other pairings I like are Zari/Charlie, Ava/Sara, Barry/Iris, Constantine/Desmond, Nate/Ray, Mick/anyone, Nate/Amaya, Ray/Nora Snart/Sara, Mick/Snart/Sara, Nia/Brainy, Barry/Oliver and Barry/Iris/Oliver.
Legends is a surprise favorite for me, too, but mostly because it's so damn ridiculous, but perfectly so. Like it never takes itself too seriously, even during the climactic battles (fucking BEEBO wth XD XD XD).
The Flash was my favorite at first because I love Barry Allen he is my fictional best friend okay, but then the end of season three happened and I started to realize just how lazy the writers are, and how much they will screw up their own themes just to avoid any actual character growth. I mean, I could also talk about the solution to Caitlin's "Who am I, I'm not Caitlin, but I'm not Killer Frost" situation from season four but... uuuuugh. I suspect there's more going on with that in season five, and waiting until the shows are on Netflix might just be the death of me.
Supergirl also surprisingly rose in the ranks for me with season three, which was probably some of the most relevant, intelligent writing in ANY of the four shows so far. Which... I was not expecting. And then it happened.
Arrow is my least favorite Ollie could you just... fucking learn something please. Just once. Just... one time.
That's why I love Legends so much, it's so ridiculous and silly, I can't help but love it.
I definitely think the Flash started suffering in Season 3. At the start of Season 4 it's like the writers forgot how Killer Frost/Caitlin ended the previous season. Oddly enough though, I find Season 5 to be a huge improvement. I find the characters all so likeable this season (even Ralph and I hated Ralph in Season 4). I don't know if they brought in new writers or what but it feels like they actually care about the show again.
I agree about Supergirl rising in Season 3. I liked the first season (but still preferred the Flash and Legends) but I thought it stumbled a bit with Season 2. Season 3 was good though and I like Season 4 even better.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHH. No more about season 5!! (Or season 4 of Supergirl!
But that IS good to hear. I can't wait until they're on Netflix. If it's in May, that'll be right around the time of the end of my semester and HOPEFULLY graduation and I will celebrate with a DC TV binge.
Like, first there was Alex coming out and her relationship with Maggie (MAGGIE WASN'T RIGHT FOR YOU, ALEX, YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE BETTER.) Then there was James as Guardian and UGH in that one episode when the cop had a choice between the white perpetrators and the black man... it was done so subtly and so well it actually took me a couple of scenes to GET what had just happened.
I thought I saw something about Leo returning to one of the shows, probably Legends, but didn't read the whole thing because, spoilers. And I've not seen him or anything about his return yet and now I'm sad! Because I know Wentworth Miller said he'd filmed his last scenes as Snart the previous season, but anything's possible with guest spots and alternate dimensions and timelines, so I hold out hope :)
It was probably just speculation. A few months ago I was also wondering if Leo was going to return this season because Wentworth Miller said he was going to be busy and then he vanished from Facebook for a month. Unfortunately the episodes filmed during that period have already aired so his disappearance involved something else.
I still hold out hope for next season though, or even later this season on the Flash if Wentworth isn't busy filming Prison Break. Because he said he would return for the right story so I don't think he's done-done the way some fans think he is.
