History Recap / LegendsOfTomorrowS5E1MeetTheLegends

* StylisticSuck: The "A.T.O.M. Cam" footage certainly qualifies. Ray's conspicuously superimposed head gives off a bobblehead effect, and his facial expressions during the action scenes are [[BadBadActing decidedly hammier]] than usual to play up the cheesiness.

* StylisticSuck: The "A.T.O.M. Cam" footage certainly qualifies. Ray's conspicuously superimposed head gives off a bobblehead aesthetic, and his facial expressions in the climax are [[BadBadActing decidedly hammier than usual]] considering the dangerous situation he's in.
