Synopsis:

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.

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 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.

Arrow Review: Season 4 Episode 8 "Legends of Yesterday"

Arrow Season 4 Episode 8
“Legends Of Yesterday”

Synopsis:
Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Barry Allen (guest star Grant Gustin) take Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée) and Carter Hall (guest star Falk Henstchel) to a remote location to keep them hidden from Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) while they figure out how to defeat him. Malcolm (John Barrowman) arranges a meeting between Vandal, Green Arrow and The Flash that doesn’t go as planned. Meanwhile, Felicity (Emily Bett Rickards), Thea (Willa Holland), Diggle (David Ramsey) and Laurel (Katie Cassidy) work with Team Flash to come up with a weapon powerful enough to destroy Vandal Savage.

Review:
Finally the second half of the Arrow/The Flash crossover event. The episode starts with a flash back on both Hawkgirl and Hawkman. meanwhile in present time the team has found a secluded place to hold up while they try to come up with a way to neutralize the staff of Vandal Savage. Oliver and Barry get the terms Savage sets when Malcolm sets up a meeting between the four of them. On the way to the meeting Barry sees the ghost of his future self. 

A distracted Oliver with Barry and both Kendra and Carter head to the meeting, everything goes wrong resulting in the deaths of everyone except for Barry. This is when we get the time jump when Barry is running away from the explosion that is set off from the staff of savage.

So starts round 2 with Savage, this time Barry lets Oliver know about the time travel and allowing both teams to get a plan together to defeat Savage. After Savage is left in ashes on the floor, we see Malcolm praying over the ashes as he is scooping them up into the a jar.

Final Thoughts: 
This paired with the episode of The Flash is a great jumping point into Legends of Tomorrow. I am excited to see more of Hawkman and Hawkgirl. This episode finally explores more into the Oliver’s past. We learn he definitely has a Son, we also know that the mother of William doesn’t want anyone in Oliver’s life to know about the child. Oh how the Drama and Secrets which Oliver has create so many side drama which usually is left for mid day soap opera’s. The only part about this which I don’t enjoy is the drama this creates within the team. I like the dynamic which we currently have and not sure how I feel with the Idea of more drama being entered. I was really hoping this season would be the one that didn’t create so many issues. However; with that being said there are so many more choices now to add to the grave possibility we saw in that first episode.

We know Savage returns in the Legends of Tomorrow, it will be interesting to see what Malcolm has in store to bring back Savage and how this helps Malcolm who has become the ultimate opportunist.

Loved that time travel played a part in this episode and loved the Harrison Wells quote tie in with “Run Barry Run” from Oliver, also how is Cisco the best part again? so many characters to choose from to highlight but its Cisco that has become the go to supporting character. Love the Crystal Skulls reference.

Every episode this season has been on point, much improved and more enjoyable. Surprisingly this may be the best season yet of Arrow. I give tonights episode Two Thumbs Up.

The Flash Review: Season 2 Episode 8 "Legends Of Today"

The Flash Season 2 Episode 8

“Legends Of Today”

Synopsis:

In its second major crossover event with “Arrow,” Vandal Savage (guest star Casper Crump) arrives in Central City and sets his sights on Kendra Saunders (guest star Ciara Renée). After Vandal attacks Kendra and Cisco (Carlos Valdes), they turn to Barry (Grant Gustin) for help. Realizing how dangerous Vandal is, Barry takes Kendra to Star City and asks Oliver and team to hide her until he can figure out how to stop Vandal. However, things quickly go from bad to worse when a man with wings AKA Hawkman (guest star Falk Hentschel) shows up and flies off with Kendra. Meanwhile, Harrison (Tom Cavanagh) develops a serum to make Barry run faster and asks Jay (guest star Teddy Sears) to test it out.

Review:

Finally its here the crossover episode with Arrow. We are introduced to Vandal Savage when he was captured as a stow away on a ship which arrived on the docks of Central City. Right from the start we see that he has powers in the same way as Damien Dark. While on a date Cisco and Kendra Saunders are attacked by Savage. Flash was able to get there to save the day and decides the best course of actions is to reach out to there friends in Star City for more assistance.

When we are introduced to Green Arrow and team, they are facing off with Damien Darhk and his Ghost Army. Flash shows up to save the day. While the team is trying to keep Kendra safe we are finally introduced to Hawkman who fly’s off with Kendra. Both he and Kendra are supposedly soul mates who continue to be reincarnated when they die, each time they have died it was due to Savage. He is haunting them down within each reincarnation due to the powers he receives from killing them both. 

Also through the episode we learn that Harrison Wells has a formula that may help increase the speed of Barry. Wells needs Caitlin’s help in order to get the formula to work. The formal is ultimately tested on Jay Garrick in order to save the life of Wells after Patty shot him after following Wells back to Star Labs.

Final Thoughts:

There was so much in the episode it was Awesome. Malcolm shows up to offer his advice on Savage. Here is to hoping that he will be part of the Arrow half of the crossover. Cisco gets the honor of naming Hawkgirl. Did anyone else love when Hawkman called Oliver Robin Hood? I am interested to see how the second half will play out not only do we know this is ultimately the tie into Legends of Tomorrow, but I am intrigued to see how the ending of the Flash will play out. Oliver sees the former girlfriend who had his kid he never knew about. We had a record 4 episode without getting Berlanti-ed but that came to an end when Kendra was told about The Flash’s secreted identity, I am guessing this will happen again with Patty as there will be some explaining to why Harrison Well is still alive. 

This was another great episode and I am loving the crossovers. This DC Television Universe is by far the best and in my opinion is more enjoyable than what we get with Marvel. I also loved how many characters were shown in this episode.

I give this an ecstatic Two Thumbs Up. Please let us know what your thoughts on the episode are, leave your comments below.
