However, when Rip reveals the ally is a 14 year-old boy who will one day grow into an evil dictator, the team is split about the morality of killing a child, even if it does save the world.

Review:

With the team now in the Future, they are working to stop Savages rise to power. However the team is split when they learn that its the 14 year old son of the current leader and the option is killing the boy. Cool heads prevail for the time being and they execute a plan to Kidnap the kid.

Meanwhile the team is under attack from Savage, the battle continues on and Ray is able to disable the Robots which were made with similar tech of his ATOM suite. By this time, Sara has been grabbed by Savage and the only way to secure her and the teams release, Rip will have to had over Per Degaton back to his father.

Final Thoughts:

First, I am excited that Rory is back. I loved his interaction with the team while locked up, and for as bad as he would like to act we get to see how much he likes Snart.

The Episode itself defiantly was a filler show, It was obvious that there was no new knowledge outside the ending that the time masters will now send Bounty Killers out to capture the team.

Like I said before, this was a filler episode, it was good but It wasn’t great. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode were and leave your comments below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 5 "Fail-Safe"

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 5

“Fail-Safe”

Synopsis:

After some of the Legends are captured and thrown into a Russian gulag during the Height of the Cold war of 1986, Snart leads the team in an elaborate escape plan to free their comrade’s. However Rip gives Sara a secret side mission that could prove not only to be a liability, but fatal to the team.

Review:

With Rory, Stein, and Ray locked up and being tortured in order to get the secret to Firestorm, Rip and the rest of the team need to come up with a plan to save their friends. At first Rip excludes Jefferson and Kendra due to the risk of exposing them to Vandal Savage. Before going in to save them, Rip tells Sara that she may need to kill Stein in order to save the future.

In the end after a come to jesus talk from Snart, Sara decides against it and they were able to rescue the rest of the team.

Final Thoughts:

Another solid episode for Legends of Tomorrow, however with each passing week it is becoming harder to root for Rip. He has an ego, but seems to be stumbling out of control. At the same time its Snart that keeps stepping up and slowly becoming the center piece of the show.

There seems to be some good chemistry between Rory and Ray. In many ways this budding bromance is helping the elevate my dislike of Brandon Routh. 

This was a good conclusion to the two part episode, but in many ways the excitement for me is from the preview of the next episode. We are finally getting our Old Man Oliver, and maybe the badass Slade Wilson we deserve. Hopefully its the return of Manu Bennett as Deathstroke. 

I give this episode One Thumbs Up, it was solid but not great. Let us know what your thoughts of this episode were and leave a comment below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 4 "White Knights"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 4

“White Knights”

Synopsis:

When Vandal Savage retreats behind the Iron Curtain in the early 1980’s, a string of Nuclear scientist’s Begin to mysteriously disappear the team follows Vandal’s trail straight into the heart of the soviet union in attempt to find the next target.

Review:

The team breaks into the pentagon in order to find a redacted file to learn the location of Vandal Savage. Once retrieved, the team learns they will need to travel to the Soviet Union. Ray tries to bond with the Soviet Scientist Valentina Vostock, when he fails its up to Snart to save the day. By stealing Valentina’s key card they are lead to a lab where a nuclear experiment is going on, The team learns that Savage is trying to create an army of Soviet Firestorms. The episode ends with Stein, Rory, and Palmer being taken hostage by Savages men.

Final thoughts:

This episode was filled with a lot, for Kendra needing to learn to embrace her inner goddess to Rip being chased down by time masters. It felt very rushed and didn’t seem to have the same flow which we saw with the first 3 episodes.

We know that the team will need to be saved, but the question which needs to be answered is what type of effect will Stein experience due to him taking on all the energy from the Nuclear core?

This was by far a down episode, it seems that with a 13 episode story arc, the creators are forced to fill each episode with a lot of different storylines. The positive from the episode has to be the growth of Rory as heatwave

I give this episode One Thumbs Up. I am looking forward to the next few episodes to see how everything ties together. Let us know what your thoughts were and leave a comment below.

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 3 "Blood Ties"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 3

“Blood Ties”

Synopsis:

Rip Decides to weaken Vandal Savage by going after his Financial asset’s Rip and Sara infiltrate Savage’s Bank, but are discovered by his men. Meanwhile Snart and Rory talk Jax into taking the Waverider back to Central City so they can steal a Valuable emerald. Professor Stein guides Ray on a Dangerous mission.

Review:

The team still stuck in 1975 due to Kendra condition, unable to time travel and with no way to defeat Savage, Sara convinces Rip that the best course is to hurt savage in another way….Taking his wealth. Rip decides that the only way to do this is alone, however Sara forces her way in order to help. They find out the secret to Savages power, by having his devoted followers drink the blood of Hawkman.

Start and Rory go after the green emerald, once its taken Rory and Jax learns that Snart has other plan. He is going to give the emerald to his father in order to stop him from going to prison. Ultimately time corrects this intrusion, and Snarts father ends up in prison anyway.

Final Thoughts:

The show continues to be everything that its meant to be, fun and entertaining. The show also has some great fight sequences, mostly involving Sara. The Best line of the show was given to us by Rip when he refers to Batman and Superman when he mentions that he has seen Men of Steal die and Dark Knights Fall

It seems Sara is starting to feel the effects of the Lazarus Pit and the blood lust which is currently effecting Thea. Its weird, as in Arrow Malcom informed Oliver that what ever Constantine did when resurrecting Sara took care of the blood lust. Obliviously this will have an effect in future episodes.

And now to our favorite characters, Snart and Rory. Still not sure how they have become the best part of the show. As I have said previously its not a surprise they are. It looks like Snart does want change and trys to use the fact that they are in 1975 to fix some issues from his Childhood. I love that they are giving us more to Snart, its fun to learn more about this character. The more he grows, the better the show becomes. 

With Savage killed at the hands of Rip, its time for the team to travel to future where Savage has been Resurrected. I am looking forward to this and everything the show brings. I give this episode Two Thumbs Up. Let us know your thoughts and leave a comment below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 2 "Pilot, Part 2"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 2

“Pilot, Part 2”

Synopsis:

Tipped off to Vandal Savage’s whereabouts, the team infiltrates a munitions deal with Professor Stein as their leader. Surrounded by some of the toughest criminals in the world, things quickly go from bad to worse when Savage Realizes they don’t belong there.

Review:

In order to stop Savage the team follows him to an arms deal where they learn that he is selling a Nuke. Things go bad to worse when Ray Palmer looses a piece of his suit which falls in the hands of Savage. In order for the team to stop the changing of the future they most retrieve the piece of the suit. The team tracks down the young professor Stein in order to use technology that he is creating in order to track down the missing electronic piece. 

Also the team must find a dagger which holds the power to kill Savage, which is currently in his possession. Once they have the Dagger, Hawkman tries to use only to have it turned and Savage kills the future Carter.

Final Thoughts:

Very interesting episode, we learn that Egyptian dagger can only be used by Kendra since she is the only one that can ultimately kill Savage. We also have the first death of one our heroes, as creators decided to kill Hawkman off. Now it is the future Hawkman, so during any of the time jumps we could see him come back. On the bright side as soon as Kendra is back in present time she can hook back up with Cisco. 

Love the fact that during the selling of the Nuke we also see Damien Darhk. Nice little nod to Arrow.

In my opinion this show needs more Leonard and Rory, each time we see them on the screen they are stealing the spotlight. I knew from the start, when Captain Cold was going to be played by Wentworth Miller that his character was going to be one of the best that we would see. My opinion only grows stronger with Legends of Tomorrow. 

The nice aspect of Legends of Tomorrow, there is no drama. This makes each episode fun to watch. This is by no means a knock against any of the other CW shows. I just think this is the perfect fit to end the week. I give this episode Two Thumbs Up. Let us know what you thoughts of the show were and leave a comment below.

Legends Of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot, Part 1"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 1

“Pilot, Part 1”

Synopsis:

“DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” focuses on time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter, Who has to recruit a rag-tag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.

Review:

Legends of Tomorrow starts with Rip Hunter gathering his new team of Captain Cold, Heatwave, White Canary, Firestorm, The Atom, Hawkgirl, and Hawkman. In order to convince the group, Rip leads them all to believe that they are considered Legends during his time. Their first mission together is to find the son of Hawkgirl, who has been tracking Vandel Savage since the day his mom and dad were killed. Things turn ugly when a Time Traveling Bounty Hunter who is after Rip turns up in 1975.

Final Thoughts:

The first episode is finally here, and it didn’t disappoint at all. There was a nice tie in with Arrow when Oliver and Laural both make a guess appearance, while Oliver as always was skeptical of Ray Palmer going along with he mission. Laural was more than happy to convince Sara. 

As seems to be a regular occurrence the scene stealers of the first episode was definitely Heatwave and Captain Cold. Maybe its due to my enjoyment of Wentworth Miller during his appearance on The Flash. But he is making Captain Cold one of the best character on any of the three shows. It definitely helps that he has amazing chemistry with Dominic Purcell from there days on Prison Break.

My favorite scene was back in the 70s while Cold, Heatwave and Sara decided to go for a drink. The music which was chosen for that scene was just perfect. Add in the back and forth between Sara and Lenord Snark made it that much greater. I am just now waiting for a stupid relationship name from the fan girls for those two. It’s also nice to see that The Flash’s future invention Gideon is still around, and is the AI for the time traveling ship of Rip Hunters. 

If you are going to introduce a new show, this is the way to do it. It was a must see episode. I give it Two Thumbs up. Let us know what your thoughts were and leave a comment below.
