Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 2 Episode 5 "Compromised"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 5

“Compromised”

Starring:

Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Matt Letscher, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell, Neal McDonough, Graeme McComb, Emily Tennant, Lance Henriksen, Amy Pemberton

Synopsis:

When the Legends trace a timequake to President Reagan’s White House, they are shocked to discover their old enemy Damien Darhk is now a Senior Adviser to Reagan. AS the team works to uncover what Darhk has up his devious sleeve, Sara struggles with the choice of getting revenge or helping with the team;s larger mission. Thinking that the JSA members could be of help, Amaya and Nate break into the JSA and are surprised at what they find. Meanwhile, Stein tries to prevent his younger self from creating an even bigger time Abberation. 

Final Thoughts:

Even though this was an 80’s inspired episode, it was the first episode of the season where the timeline had been affected by Damien Darhk. It was nice to see writers focusing on Darhk and not just having him in an episode as a coincidence of timing. Legends of Tomorrow has been a fun show to watch but until episode 5, it wasn’t a must see show yet this season. Even with this episode focusing on the main villain, I am not sure how this will ultimately change the perception of the show.

There still seems to be a focus on Sara trying to kill Darhk, but so far it seems to just be more of a issue with causing drama between the team. Drama within the team seems to be a major plot this year for many of the DC Shows on the CW, I would like to see a change in this and we really need to see this happen for Legend of Tomorrow more so than Flash or Arrow, especially since each episode of Legends is weaker than the others.

I don’t want to come across as complaining about Legends, this is a solid show which is fun to watch. It may not be must see TV, however you will need to get caught up prior to the major crossover still to come.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 2 Episode 4 "Abominations"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 4

“Abominations”

Starring:

Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Maise Richardson-Sellers, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell, John Churchill, Warren Bell, Alex Barima, Dean S. Jagger

Synopsis:

When the Legends discover a time Aberration in 1863, they find themselves fighting for survival during the Civil War with Confederate soldiers who have been turned into zombies. With the Civil War outcome hanging in the balance, Jax must participate in a daring mission by going to a slave plantation with Amaya. Meanwhile, Sara begins to feel the burden of the decisions she has to make as the leader, and Ray struggles to find his purpose on the team.

Final Thoughts:

It’s funny how this show is able jump from one storyline and inject something so very different when needed. This episode was exactly that, while the main story of Reverse-Flash and Damien Darhk was put to the side for an episode, we did get an episode worthy of Halloween. Yes, the legends had to go up against Zombies.

The episode put the legends up against many different scenarios, while Ray continued to struggle with his worth to the team. Professor stein had to deal with his now rational fear of zombies when Rory turned into a Zombie and started to terrorize the Waverider.

Also an interesting theme is being used during this season and was really touched upon in the 5th episode. Obviously with the show touching on time travel, there will be a need for the creators to touch on racial issues. This has been well done and really has set Jax apart in many ways from the rest of the characters, and he really has been one of the best parts of the show.

Episode’s like this don’t really leave much with suspense, before the show even ends we know that the Legends will succeed. This might be the only downfall to Legends of Tomorrow, but outside of this the episode itself was fun and exactly what we need. The best part of the episode has to be with Ray getting Snart’s Ice Gun, this will be a fun pair to watch going forward.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 2 Episode 3 "Shogun"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 3

“Shogun”

Starring:

Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Maise Richardson-Sellers, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell, Mei Melancon, Sab Shimono, Grant Gustin, Stephen Oyoung, Christopher Naoki Lee

Synopsis:

After learning he has powers, Nate accidentally lands Ray and himself in Feudal Japan; Sara, Amaya and Rory agree to find Nate and help him master his powers in order to defend the Japanese village from the Shogun.

Final Thoughts:

With Rex Tyler being killed by a time-traveler, Vixen decided to jump aboard the WaveRider in order to get revenge. Her assumption leads her to non other than Mick. While Vixen was attacking the crew we finally get our first glimpses from Citizen Steel. But without the proper training Nate Heywood doesn’t know how to access his new gained powers. While training with Palmer, Steel is thrown from the Waverider and The Atom jumps off to go after him in time. This leads us to this weeks episode, Shogun.

Trapped in 1700’s Japan, Ray is captured by Shogun and has his ATOM suite stolen, meanwhile Nate is found by the soon to be wife of the Shogun, Masako Yamashiro. Nate’s fondness of Masako, leads him into trying to help her with her current marriage problem.

The 3rd episode of the season centered around the growth of Nate as new Superhero and his struggles to harness his new powers and Ray’s struggle with not being a superhero. Even though Ray’s struggles have been touched upon in both the third season of Arrow and first season of Legends, it seems that the writers have been moving forward with this story in the second season. Now that he has lost the ATOM suite in a sacrifice to stop the Shogun, it will be interesting to see how is character development grows before he gets his suite back.

As for Nate, He seems to still have issues with harnessing his powers, but by the end of the episode, it looks like he has gained more experience. This is an interesting addition to team as the now there are three individuals with powers on the waverider. 

Interesting plot point which hopefully will be touched upon in the near future is the message in Rip Hunters hideaway from an older Barry Allen. How will it affect the team and there future missions? I am guessing it will have something to do with the Reverse-Flash. 

I find myself enjoying each week of Legends from Tomorrow, Its solid solid show, but not must see TV. Obviously this season will be different due to the need to catch up by the time of the crossover. What are your thoughts of the show? Leave your comments below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 2 Episode 1 "Out of Time"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 1

“Out of Time”

Starring:

Stephen Amell, Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Arthur Darvill, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Matt Letscher, Amy Pemberton, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell, Neal McDonough, Matthew MacCaull

Synopsis:

After the defeat of the immortal villain Vandal Savage and the exposure of the corrupt Time Masters, a new threat emerges. Dr. Nate Heywood, an unconventional and charming historian, is thrust into the action. After making a shocking discovery, Nate seeks out Oliver Queen for help in finding the scattered Legends. Once reunited, the Legends continue their new mission to protect the timeline from temporal aberrations - unusual changes to history that spawn potentially catastrophic consequences. Their first stop is 1942, to protect Albert Einstein from being kidnapped before the Nazis destroy New York City with a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, Ray notices that Sara has a mission of her own, which leads them both to face her nemesis, Damien Darhk.

Final Thoughts:

My first thought when watching the first few minutes of the season premiere of Legends of Tomorrow was…….Is there anyone that doesn’t know Oliver Queens secret identity? It really has to be the worse kept secret ever. 

So the first episode came with a few changes, when both Dr. Haywood and Oliver found the waverider at the bottom of the ocean,  they only found Rory somehow suspended in time. after coming out of his extended hibernation, he begins to tell the story of the events that took place. This is when we learn that Rip Hunter has disappeared and the rest of the team was scattered across time. 

So most of the episode was rehashing the events which took place prior to the waverider colliding with a nuclear bomb. We also got our first glimpses of our villains for the upcoming season. One being Damian Darhk and the other being the Reverse-Flash. This is an interesting development and as excited as I am to see the Reverse-Flash back, I am somewhat disappointed it won’t be part of The Flash. But that is a just a small disappointment, what is intriguing is how they will use Rip Hunter and the Justice Society of America.

As for the legends and their time jumping, it seems like they have messed with history by interfering and causing changes. Its really interesting since we now have two shows with in the DC shared universe which are causing changes to the timeline. This ultimately should have some effect in the future.

The CW was four for four and did not disappoint with any of their DC properties, each show had solid episodes but Legends of Tomorrow felt like what the show is meant to be….FUN! So make sure to watch and Let us know your thought of the season premier and leave your comments below.

“Leviathan”

Review:

The team arrives in 2166 three days before the death of Rips family. The goal is to stop Savage before he can kill anyone, things go awry during the first attempt to grab Savage.

The team decides to kidnap the second in command, however when captured they learn that her name is Cassandra Savage; the daughter of Vandal. With his daughter kidnapped, Savage unleashes his giant weapon.

After Snart was able to convince Cassandra that her father is evil. She agrees to take the team to attack Savage, at the same time Ray needs to defend against the Giant weapon which is out to history the ship.

The Episode ends when Kendra is unable to kill Savage due to his power over Carter hall.

Final Thoughts:

This was one of those episode, I wasn’t the biggest fan but I understood it and appreciated the direction. This show continues to be the biggest mystery to me. I am not sure if the main story is just bad, but it seems some of the best episodes are the filler episodes.

Loved that we got to see The ATOM increase in size, that was a nice comic book nerd moment for myself.

Another overall solid episode, It will be interesting to see how they ramp up the last three episodes of the season. Let us know your thoughts and leave your comments below.

Legends Of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 12 "Last Refuge"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 12

“Last Refuge”

Synopsis:

The team is targeted by the Pilgrim, a deadly assassin who want’s to erase the Legend’s from the timeline by killing their younger non-superhero selves’s. 

Review:

With the Pilgrim assigned to eliminate the team, she will be going back in time to kill their younger Selves’s. The team races to stop her from completing her mission and their plan is to kidnap themselves before she can do an damage. 

Once they had all the kids, Rip decides the best place to keep them is with his adoptive mother. We get a little back story about how Rip become a Time Master. He was taken as a orphan and its Rip’s Mother who is charged to raise these kids until they are old enough to become Time Masters.

Meanwhile the Pilgrim kidnaps a loved one of the team and threatens to kill all of them unless the legends turn over their younger Selves’s. In an attempt to rescue everyone, Rip plans to turn over his younger self. The team sets a trap for one last attempt to eliminate the Pilgrim. 

Final Thoughts:

This was another solid episode, my only complaint would be that this show has so many filler episode for a 16 episode season. I am not sure why, but I would like to have a little more build up to the battle with Vandal Savage. Unless he will be a carry over Villain for the next season.

The best part of the last few episode has to be Rory, Every since he came back it seems the creative team has finally given him a more well rounded character who has been much more enjoyable to watch. Not that he wasn’t before.

This has been such a good show, there isn’t to many ups or downs it just solid and consistent. Its the best way to end to DC TV universe week. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode were and leave your comments below.

Legends Of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 11 "The Magnificent Eight"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 11

“The Magnificent Eight”

Synopsis:

The Legends travel back to the Old Wild West and gain the aid of a true legend, a morally ambiguous gunslinger with a penchant for danger, Jonah Hex, Who has been battling outlaws and gangs and happens to know a thing or two about the time travel. Hex warns the legends to be extra careful in their journey to the small town of Salvation.

Review:

The team has traveled back to 1871 in efforts to hide from the Time Masters bounty hunters. While there the team goes out in the town of Salvation, where Stein gets into some trouble at a poker table and Snart steps in and kills the opposing man. The rest of the Stilwater gang takes exception and a bar fight ensues. 

The Bar fight is ended when Jonah Hex Steps in, when he confronts the team for being time travelers the team finds out this isn’t the first time Rip Hunter has crossed paths with Johan. With the town of Salvation in danger due to the Stillwater gang, Ray refuses to leave without making things right.

During the Final showdown Rip decides to step and dual with Jeb Stillwater, While Rip ends the threat for the town the team ends up coming under attack by the bounty hunters. 

Final Thoughts:

This was one of my most anticipated episode due to the inclusion of Jonah Hex. I love the idea that this these CW shows have been able to include so many different DC Comics Characters. Johnathon Schaech does a fantastic job playing Jonah. It was also interesting that Jonah and Rip had a past together and now we have an idea about why Rip’s weapon looks like a six shooter.

with each time travel, the show puts the characters into different environments and I for one love it. It give the show the excitement that I used to get while watching Quantum Leap when I was younger.  

This show didn’t really advance the story much, but this one wasn’t suppose to.  The show was for the fans of DC Comics and we were introduced to another character in Jonah Hex. I love this universe, manly due to the fact that they are doing it right. Maybe its time for Zack Snyder to take some advice from Greg Berlanti and make the movies more like the shows.

I give this episode Two Thumbs Up, let us know what your thoughts were and leave you comments below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 10 "Progeny"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 10

“Progeny”

Synopsis:

Rip tells the team they are headed to the future to take out a powerful ally that Savage needs in order to conquer the world. 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. Meanwhile, Sara talks Snart through a rough patch and Ray learns something that could impact his future with Kendra

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.

Once the team has the kid, and Gideon shows that the future still hasn’t been change, Rip take the kid away from team. While alone with Per Degaton, Rip trys to pull the trigger but in the end is unable to do so.

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 8 "Night of The Hawk"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 8

“Night of The Hawk”

Synopsis:

The team tracks Savage to a small town in Oregon during the 1950s. Upon arrival, they discover there have been a recent string of murders and they suspect Savage is involved. Professor Stein and Sara go undercover at a psychiatric hospital, where Savage is working as a doctor, to find out his plan. While there, Sara meets a nurse named Lindsay and sparks fly. Meanwhile, Ray and Kendra pretend to be a married couple to gain the neighborhood's trust, but an interracial couple in the '50s isn't something that goes unnoticed. Soon, Savage is at their door.

Review:

The team travels back to 1958 where the trail for Savage leads. Team splits up to investigate missing people which they believe is the result of Savage. While pretending to be a married couple Ray and Kendra learn their neighbor is Savage, and Sara and Stein learn that he has a restrictive wing in a mental hospital. 

The team learns fast that Savage has been performing experiments on trying to create himself a army of Hawk People. With Jax being captured by the local Sherif and has the same experiments done to him its up to Stein to find a cure. 

Final Thoughts:

With the setting being 1958, Legends of Tomorrow didn’t shy away from the issue of the time. Obviously touching on the issues with Bi Racial couples and racism. For a comic book show this was done in a way that showed the ridiculousness of the time but without taking away from the main purpose of the show.

Another amazing performance from Stein, stealing every scene he was in and at the same time bring Sara to another level. We also got a little blow back from the ending of the last episode as Jax’s takes issue with Snart removing Rory from the team. This was an issue through out the episode only to have Snart being the hero and saving Jax.

By far the most interesting part of the show has to be the ending with the team being split apart due to Chronos jumping on board the Waverunner and time jumping. Where does this leave the team and how will they come back together?

This would have been a great Halloween Episode, just my own opinion. I give this episode Two Thumbs Up. Let us know what your thoughts of the episode are and leave your comments below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 7 "Marooned"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 7

“Marooned”

Synopsis:

After receiving a distress call from another timeship stranded in space, Rim decide’s to answer the call in order to use the other ship’s computer to track Savage, the team is suspicious and warn’s him this could be a trap but he move’s forward with his plan. Ultimately, the team was right and they have to battle time pirate’s, with most of the team capture it is up to Professor Stein to rescue them all.

Review:

With the trail to Vandal Savage going cold, Rip and the team need to find another way to locate Savage’s position. When a distress signal from another Timeship is retrieved by the team, Rip decides to answer the call for help. Once there they learn the ship had been taken over by Time Pirates and now are captives. With the pirate chasing the other half of the team its up to Stein to save everyone else. 

Rory decides to cease the opportunity to return to 2016 by making a deal with the pirates for the ship. Because of his betrayal Snart makes the decision to drop him off, only to be left with and end scene of him hitting Rory with his cold gun.

Final Thoughts: 

Loved the episode, with that being said I am still not fully behind Rip. It seems to be my only complaint of the series, as he is just not “Hero” like at all. I fully understand the emotional stress that he would be under, but being a Comic book show I feel he should be a little different. 

I have to say I loved Stein and his joy of being able to fulfill the dream of being a space ranger, also all the Star Trek and Star Wars references from Ray were priceless.

Then we had the stand off between Rory and Snart. The Bad guy who just wants to be bad vs the Bad guy who is finally living up to the Flash’s predictions of him. This was bound to happen, and the show creators really know how to fully commit Snart to being the hero we all deserve. Those moments with sara freezing to death really cemented this fact. 

But the way the episode ended, I really can’t believe that they killed off Rory. I guess we will have to wait to see what happens but it does look like they are moving that direction.

I give this episode Two Thumbs Up, Let us know what you thought of the episode and leave your comments below.

Legends of Tomorrow Review: Season 1 Episode 6 "Star City 2046"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 1 Episode 6

“Star City 2046”

Synopsis:

A malfunction sends the Waverider to 20146 Star City where theta faces a future in which they fail to stop Savage and return home.

Review:

With the team stranded in a 2046 Star City, they will need to work to repair the Waverider. In order to get it up and running, they need to find a prototype which was developed by Palmer Tech AKA Smoak Technology. With Rip and Sara out looking or the tech needed they come across the Green Arrow, but not the same one Sara used to know. Connor Hawk is now wearing the hood. 

Connor is able to assist, and take them to the old hide out of Team Arrow. This is where they find a one armed Oliver, who was believed to be dead the entire time. After Connor was taken by Deathstroke, Sara convinces Olive to suite back up to save Diggle’s Son.

Final Thoughts:

Greg Berlanti just knows how to give the fans exactly what they want. Obviously there were some twist but in some ways its understandable changes. Instead of Connor being Olivers son, he is the son of Diggle. In many ways this makes sense due to the fact that they don’t want to give away anything from Arrow. 

It was awesome to see Old Man Oliver, even if its a “Fake” future. I have to say, this episode didn’t disappoint at all. It delivered in every way. The geek side of me always gets excited when each of these shows tie in the music from each other show. It give it that added excitement to the scene, almost like its a nod to the fans to acknowledge the crossover.

Once again I must say with each passing week I find it harder to root for Rip Hunter. His character is becoming more and more a distraction from the show but is always saved by professor Stein and Snart.

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.
