Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDr. Stein says "until someone gives machine guns to the Confederate Army." In Harry Turtledoves "Guns of the South," a group from South Africa sends AK-47's to the Civil War, which changes the outcome of the war in the CSA's favor.
- GoofsWhen trying to find the Legends who have been thrown out into time, Martin Stein and Jefferson Jackson are said to be in 'Tintangel, England'. This is a typographical error. The correct name is 'Tintagel' which is tied to the King Arthur myths, and is a village one can still visit where the ruins of the castle still sit. It is also known as Trevenna, and in the time that Martin and Jax would have been occupying Tintagel, it was known as Tintagol. It is the place where the Lady Igraine was hidden by her husband before Uther Pendragon (disguised by Merlin as her husband) seduced her. Their child was King Arthur.
- Quotes
Sara Lance: Nobody wants to address the fact that Cardinal Richelieu's men were armed with laser guns?
Dr. Martin Stein: Clearly provided to them by a time pirate or some such.
Jefferson 'Jax' Jackson: No, Gray's right. We need to find out who so...
Rip Hunter: You can get another chance destroying the very history that you're supposed to be protecting?
Ray Palmer: Ah, I knew I forgot something. The part where Rip tells us everything that we did wrong.
Rip Hunter: As in seducing the Queen of France just before she's supposed to conceive the country's greatest hope for the future?
Sara Lance: She seduced me.

After already getting rid of Kendra and Captain Cold (sort of), could it also be getting rid of Rip Hunter? It sure looks like it. I'm not going to pretend the CW doesn't have a history of bringing back characters, because they obviously do. But I also won't pretend to be a fan of the Rip Hunter character. The show never gave me proof that he's in any shape to actually lead of a group of ragtag superheroes. So to be honest, if it is the end of Hunter's reign, I'm totally fine with that.
Besides that ending reveal, the show was absolute bonkers. We didn't even pick up with Rex Tyler's appearance last season, which is where I thought they would begin. We began with some guy named Nate Heywood coming to tell Oliver Queen that his 'Legends friends' were in danger. This angle was a bit ridiculous, especially considering there wasn't any real reason to have Stephen Amell on the show, but it was fun to see the dynamic play out, specifically with Heatwave. As we listened to Heatwave's recollection of his team's misfortunes we saw flashbacks of the team taking on various missions throughout history. This time, they actually were in different time periods too, it wasn't just the 40's, 50's, and 60's. Yeah I'm looking at you season 1. But if you accept what you're getting out of this show, then the team's trips to these extraordinary times in history will be silly popcorn fun.
Sure we saw the beginnings of the Legion of Doom as Darhk and Eobard are obviously up to something. And sure we got to see some awesome action sequences with the team actually suiting up and using their powers for once. But is the show really giving us anything spectacular? No, but I don't need it to. I look at this show like I do a Fast and Furious movie. As long as it keeps me entertained from credits to credits, I'm good.
+Pretty dang fun
+Actually traveled to different time periods
+Heroes suiting up
+So a new leader ?
-JSA appearance was out of nowhere
-Still isn't intriguing me with any story points
