Wildcards Snart and Rory, not-so-lovebirds Ray and Kendra, and Comfortable-Assassin Sara
imakk200131 March 2016
Warning: Spoilers
In terms of this week, Left Behind totally kicked Arrow AND Flash's behinds in sheer kick-assness. RORY?!?!?!?! Snart with his hand?!?! To save Rory?! Didn't see that coming at all, yet it was still very much in character for each man. This level of believable WTF can only be achieved because Snart and Rory are such wildcards. There was no surprise that Sara would come to her senses when pressed. So yeah nice job by the writers for taking these two on such a wild arc.

Snart was right when he asked when they gave Rory the lobotomy. But that was the theme of this ep for all those left behind. They were out of place/time and desperate. So they self-"lobotomized" to survive. I was kind of side-eying Kendra until the end. It's about damn time we saw Firestorm! Love that shot of him and Hawkgirl up in the air together. Can't wait to see how they save Rory from himself. Talk about bad patient! Ray's luck with Nanda Parbat remains consistent, poor guy. I knew they were going to fix Snart, but strangely enough, it didn't detract what he did to himself.

This is what I was expecting when they announced LoT.

Score: 9.3

Le fait que Rory était ChrOnos depuis le début est incroyable. Ray palmer et Kendra qui vivent pendant é Ans de 1958 à 1960 est surprenant tout comme ray palmer qui a été l'ensiegnant du père de bill gates. Le petit voyage à Nanda Parbat était super cool,on nous introduit talia Al Gul qu'on avait pas vu auparavant dans Arrow,et Sara affronte Kendra en duel bon combat. Sinn le combat de fin avec Chronos qi tue la oitié des soldats de la lige des assassins et se bat contre firestorm,kendra,ato,sara était super. Dommage que Ras ne ce soit pas battu,même si ca présence était plutôt cool.

Vengeance?

With all of the awesome comic book shows going on and the release of Batman v Superman, I have to admit that I didn't miss Legends of Tomorrow on this few week break. Tonight pretty much proved to me that I shouldn't have missed the show at all. Convoluted plots, awkward character moments, and the overwhelming 'filler' feeling of each episode was unfortunately present in tonight's episode. But we did see the return of Sara Lance to the League of Assassins, which is cool right?

Well, not so much. Seeing Matt Nable reprise his role as Ras Al Ghul was definitely welcomed, as was Sara's return. The execution just wasn't there. We began with Sara, Ray, and Kendra being left in the 50's as 'Kronos' took over the Wave Rider and sent the crew elsewhere. The passage of time just felt really awkward. The only logical reason I found for the time shift was to make this filler episode. I don't see this having a lasting impact on any of the characters, which is unfortunate.

Where was Vandal Savage? Only god knows. But it was another week without any true progress in that area. With that said, we got the "shocking" reveal that Mick was actually underneath the Kronos mask. It felt pretty cheap, but I'm open to the return of Heatwave as he was one of the only highlights of the first half of the season.

Kendra and Ray made progress in their relationship which I'm not sure anyone actually cares about right now, but I guess romance is just one of the unfortunate guarantees that comes with a CW show. Speaking of Kendra, she took on Sara in the trial by combat to save the lives of whole team after being captured by Ras. Not only was it way too easy to get into Nanda Parbat, but it was also insulting for Kendra to even pose somewhat of a fight for Sara. One week Kendra's confident and a competent fighter, the next week she's questioning her new life and isn't able to use her 'hawk' ability. It's just lazy writing/storytelling. Also, I guess the magic phrase to snap Sara out of her assassin ways is "white Canary"? Come on now. Sigh.

However, we did have a pretty cool fight to cap it off with nearly the entire team pitching in. The action scenes remain one of the few strengths of this show. Overall though, this was yet another frustrating storyline and missed opportunity for Legends. Hopefully 2147 will be better?

+Final fight

+Sara in the league again & Matt Nable's performance

-Kendra has combat skills again?

-Awkward storytelling & time jump

-Romance that I don't care about

Forget Logic

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was so badly written. Consider this line from the exact show, "if you have a time machine you are never late". Still Rip Hunter comes back TWO YEARS late. They say he can't come back to the exact same time since his ship was damaged, why can't he go back after his waverider was repaired? Also, in this same episode they reveal that Chronos goes back in time to the same place he was in past, Why can't Rip Hunter do that? What's his excuse to not come in two years earlier? Or 1 year earlier? or 1 year and 364 days earlier? They never bring this up. None of the 'Genius' characters seem to ask this question to Rip Hunter.

Coming back to those poor fellows marooned for two whole years, Sara seemed to have handled that pretty well compared to the other two. Now the final fight was good, and the character reveal for chronos was a good twist.Snart could have hit his chains with the gun instead of his hand though. Overall, as with any LOT episode, it had some good visual effect paired with choreography but had too many plot holes for anyone caring about logic to sit through.
