(Pray for Ava!)
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Each year you guys deliver these wild finales.

How did writing this season’s finale compare to previous ones?
So it does become a real math equation, making sure all the stories get their due.
Then there’s also that panic moment where you’re like, “Have we made it fun enough?
Bettina Strauss/The CW
Have we made it outlandish enough?”
Because you never get more than 42 minutes.
I think we had that 11th-hour panic, “Is it too gloomy?
Is it too heart-wrenching?
Oh man, Sisqo to the rescue!”
Just having that Smell performance at the end.
Maisie’s got a career she’s pursuing now.
Did you know she was leaving the show when the season began?
Man, when she takes the mic at the punk club, it’s really wonderful!
You’ve had several original songs on the show.
I’m totally blanking on whose idea it was, but it was clearly the right choice.
James Eagan [wrote] the lyrics inthe episode with Mister Parker.
I guess it encapsulates our show.
Talk to me about how you chose between Zari 1.0 and Zari 2.0.
I’d keep ‘em because I find them both so delightful.
Was the decision to put Zari 1.0 back in the totem only due to budgetary reasons?
How did you pick which Zari to keep around?
That wasthe promise of bringing Behrad onto the show.
Even when you’re an adult, it’s just like a weird thing you share with your sibling.
I just want to get them to that neutral space and see how they deal with sharing a totem.
You know, figure out what version of Wonder Twin powers are.
Why did you decide not to pair up Zari 2.0 and Nate romantically?
You don’t fall in love with the physical embodiment of a person.
That was a real epiphany to us.
Nate has no lost so many people: Amaya, Zari, his father, his grandfather,Ray.
In season 6, how are things looking for him?
Is he in store for a win of some sort?
What should we do next?"
what made aliens, and I hate this pun, the next frontier for you guys?
I think we like them because on the surface they were so stupid.
We’ll totally screw it up, I’m sure.
Did you consider having another musician take that Sisqo spot, or was he the first one you considered?
Sisqo was the first guy.
I can’t remember if we ever panicked and started to come up with a list of second choices.
It was pretty much too late by the time we asked him to come do it.
We were days away from production.
Sisqo really saved our butts.
If he had said no, it would’ve been such a bummer.
Not only did he say yes, but he came like ready to do the work.
He brought his dragon microphone.
He brought his white leather outfit.
He was looking, apparently, ageless.
That was a nice perk, that Sisqo showed up looking exactly like he did in ’90s music video.
Ten out of 10.
Easiest guest star to book!
No hair or makeup needed.
And just like for the morale on set.
We accidentally are geniuses."
DC’s Legends of Tomorrowwill return midseason 2021 on the CW.
