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.
