Arrow Season 4: 23 WTF Moments From 'Legends Of Yesterday'

15. Betamax Problems

I€™m going to go out on a limb and say that the majority of the people reading this right now will have never even heard of Betamax, let alone owned one. With some conspiracy theorists having documented the threat of Vandal Savage back in the €˜80s, our team of heroes manage to unearth some old Betamax-recorded footage discussing the rogue. The problem is, as Felicity puts it, it may prove just a tad tricky being able to play something recorded on a completely obsolete format. But then, within the blink of an eye, Felicity magically has the Betamax recording playing for our heroes to watch. How did she do this? What did it take? And just where did the Betamax tape itself disappear to? Maybe it€™s being picky, but this all felt a little off and had me thinking WTF.
