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 2 "The Justice Society of America"

Legends of Tomorrow Season 2 Episode 2

“The Justice Society of America”

Starring:

Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Matt Letscher, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Nick Zano, Dominic Purcell,  Patrick j. Adams, Sarah Grey, Kwesi Ameyaw, Matthew MacCaull, Andre Eriksen

Synopsis:

The Legends travel to Nazi-occupied Paris, but find themselves surrounded by the Justice Society of America. The Legends discover a time aberration that threatens the JSA, but the JSA wants nothing to with them of their help. Nevertheless, the Legends force their way into the JSA’s Mission to intercept and seize a mysterious package. Nate is desperate to prove that he should be part of the team, but he has a secret that he shares with his grandfather Commander Steel that might make it difficult. Ray is so focused on impressing the JSA, he puts himself and Vixen in danger. Meanwhile, Stein has stepped in as the leader with Rip gone, but when decisions aren’t being made Sara seems to be the one calling the shots.

Final Thoughts:

With the second episode we finally get to see the Justice Society of America, maybe one of the less popular groups within the DC comic universe but nonetheless its another set of Hero’s being introduced to the world through the Arrowverse. The episode itself focused on the difference of the two groups, and the question of whether or not the Legends are Heros. This seems to be affecting Ray Palmer the most.

We also saw Stein trying to take over as the Captain of the Waverider with disastrous results due to the inability to make a decision under pressures. This story could have been dragged out through multiple episodes, I am just glad they come to a resolution so fast with the mantle of Captain being passed on to Sarah. 

I really like that both Commander Steel and Dr. Hayward are related, the admiration from Hayward is more than just Fan boy and makes it seem real and sincere. This is just the beginning of the story, especially now that Hayward has taken the super Serum. 

Finally, The Reverse-Flash continues to make his presence felt within the Legends of Tomorrow Universe, This time taking the life of Rex Tyler, questions must be asked whether or not this will be the last time we see Tyler. It seems weird to loose a character so early that was the tie between seasons.

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.

The Flash Review: Season 3 Episode 1 "Flashpoint"

The Flash Season 3 Episode 1

“Flashpoint”

Starring:

Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Keiynan Lonsdale, Tom Cavanagh, Jesse L. Martin, John Wesley Shipp, Matt Letscher

Synopsis:

The Reverse-Flash taunts the Flash, and warns of repercussions if Barry Continues to forget his old life; when disaster strikes, Barry must decide whether to live as Barry Allen or return to his universe as The Flash.

Final Thoughts:

Finally, after a long and hot summer The Flash has returned. With the final episode of season three seeing Barry going back in time to stop him mothers death and details being released we know that The Flash will explore the comics “Flashpoint” story arc. 

Now I’m not sure how you felt about direction this would take The Flash, I know I was concerned due to the players involved, I wondered if CW would be able to do justice with the story. After learning that Supergirl was moving to the CW and Superman would now play a part in that show, I became a little more excited with what could be.Then came the first episode of season 3 “Flashpoint”, unfortunately I came away a little disappointed. They managed to squeeze in what should have been a three of four episode story arc into a 45 min episode.

Outside of the obviously short Flashpoint story, episode three saw the return of The Reverse-Flash, who Barry trapped in an abandoned warehouse, we got to see Wally West as Kid Flash. But outside of Kid-Flash taking over being Central City’s Hero, Barry’s intervening in the murder of his mother left other consequence to the time line. We saw Joe being a drunk and Barry trying to figure out how to introduce himself to Iris. 

Things change when The Rival, another speedster starts to attack central city. This is when Barry starts loosing his memory of the original time line, however Barry is ok with loosing his memory since he still has his parents, that is until The Rival kills Wally West. With the help of Eobard Thawne Barry goes back in time to correct his mistakes. This only leave to more consequences as The Reverse Flash is still alive.

So after a strange start of the season we now have the Reverse-Flash still around, but what does that mean for the remainder of the season? Barry will have to work to correct what he has done to the people he cares about. Another question which hopefully will be answered is whether or not we will be getting Earth-2’s Harrison Wells or if the Original Wells is still alive. 

What did you think of the first episode from Season 3 of The Flash? Leave your comments below.
