A Wild Ride
tindalllisa11 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This episode had a LOT of moving pieces and managed to give each regular cast member, and 5 guest stars, a part to play that contributed to the whole. It was a contemporary symphony that was music to my ears. It is ALWAYS a pleasure to see Sara (&Ava) in Western garb. Also, Avalance always manages to work through their problems so well. I was touched by the Ray/Nora/Damien triangle and the wedding was beautiful. I teared up. Sara as the officiate was wonderful. In trademark LoT humor you have Zari filming Mick fainting, Nate bursting to stop Ray, Nora calling in her 1 Book Club marker, and the frenzied farce of a dinner party where Ava & Sara air their dirty laundry in what looks like the CLUE mansion. I hate to see Ray & Nora go, but I thought they went out well. The LoT writers and Showrunner did a fantastic job of weaving a winning tale of 2 progressive love stories in 1 episode, meanwhile Supergirl can't find their ass with both hands in 5 Whole SEASONS! Congratulations! Well done.

Please don't write off Brandon routh
superman-3151412 March 2020
He is the best character in the show, the comic relief and character that I think keeps us connected to the arrow verse. The only reason to get rid of him would be to have him star in a cooler superman show. I am sorry Brandon you were the best part of this show

Funniest Episode of the Season?
The episode did not have a crazy legends adventure. And it didn't have a lot of action. But it had some of the best humor of this season. I know it made me laugh more than I was expecting.

This episode might be the funniest episode of the season. It might even be one of the funniest episodes of the series.

Funny Episode
dami300112 March 2020
I must say that Damien Darhk is not my favorite character, but in this episode he works very well.

I really liked the sense of humor in this episode. It has the touch of the Leyends. But it also incorporates interesting things.

This is the Way

Honestly - this episode had little action and yet was one of the best this season (yet) hopefully it keeps going in this direction.

One of my all time fav LoT episodes
swaitian14 March 2020
Since S1E1 I have absolutely loved this show. Some episodes are better some are worse. This one though is one of the best episodes ever.

I love the humor and interaction. Fun to see Damien Darhk again too :)

Ride!

Boy, I absolutely loved this episode it was extremely funny and I really loved how the situation of this episode was fixed perfectly in a funny way thanks to that child's wish to the "Fairy Godmother".

Also fun fact! Did you know that Brandon Routh and Courtney Ford are actually a married couple? lol, it was weird seeing the marriage of Ray and Nora.

This has to probably be the most funniest episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow ever as it ran for four years right now. What's also funny is that I thought Mr. Parkers Cul-De-Sac was a actual TV show but it was actually a parody of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, lmao.

What's kinda timey-wimey-wibbly-wobbly is the beginning due to what Gary due to events in 1874 with his 2018 self, flickering in and out of existence is similar to what happens to Ray in S3 Phone Home (2017).

Finally Constantine's takes a back seat
passamazonassessments6 January 2021
This season has been pretty annoying because of the demonic occult scenes reducing the supposed to be fun Legend's of Tomorrow. Finally an episode that doesn't have you laughing one moment and cringing at the demon garbage; which has become half past lame and caring.

Perfect episode
Legendsoftomorrow111 July 2020
This episode was the best episode to ever air of Legends of Tomorrow. From the mr Rodgers parody to lots of ray palmer humor, this episode was amazing. There is nothing that I have to criticize about this. Legends should have more funny episodes like this.

Legends Of Tomorrow Season 5's redemption?!
EddyTheMartian00711 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
If you've seen my previous reviews this season, I have not been happy with the direction this show has been taking. I think we got 2 of the worst episodes on the series this season and I thought Legends Of Tomorrow was going to fall and give us the worst season yet. However, the last 3 episodes have given me hope that this show will not fall.

"A Head Of Her Time" just felt like an old average episode of Legends Of Tomorrow, and this is not a bad thing since the old average episodes of legends of tomorrow (particularly from seasons 2 and 3) were mostly good. I am not a fan of the direction they've taken with Zari's character, but that episode utilized her best. It also showed some good character development which we haven't got in a while. Again some character decisions (specifically with Constantine) have been odd, and I don't like the direction they're taking them in, but at least it's not been bad.

"Mortal Khanbat" was not a good episode, let's get this straight. However it was a very fun episode, and it's been a while since I genuinely enjoyed Legends Of Tomorrow up till that point. My problems with the episode stem from it's insane goofiness that has gone too far, and a lot of writing that doesn't make sense, but at least I was having some fun. I really do not like Charlie's character, and she's been mostly useless, but at least they have given the series direction again during this episode. Her relationship with Behrad which was never set up was bad though.

Finally "Mr. Parker's Cul-De-Sac." This was probably the best episode of the season so far. We got the return of Damien Darhk, who is always welcome. He was a lot of fun to have back and I thought his moments with Nora were very good. This episode actually set up the main "conflict" of the episode really well with Damien Darhk. Some character motivations have been questionable this season, but Nora not wanting to kill his dad is understandable, and the plan to take away his powers makes some sense. However are we forgetting that he is meant to be one of the most skilled fighters in the arrowverse? I'm sure he'll still be a threat, but I'll let it slide this time. The entire cast just did very well this episode, and they really felt like their characters. When everything goes wrong and Damien is about to kill everyone it was genuinely a tense moment. I honestly thought they were about to kill off Ray since he is sadly leaving this season. The resolution in the Cul-De-Sac felt a little convenient but I thought it mostly worked. I think Ray's and Nora's relationship has been a little underdeveloped, but their marriage was a good moment. I was hoping Damien would stay for longer and perhaps become another antagonist this season, but this was an acceptable direction they took, despite some questionable motives. This episode also had a subplot with Mick. Honestly this was just weird, I don't know what to think of it yet. Regardless this was a great episode!

Overall I'm glad that while this season isn't fixed, and the most of the episodes aren't great, they're at least improving, and they're hopefully headed in the right direction.

One of the best comedic episodes of the show
Arts-student11 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
In the style of Buffy's TABULA RASA, this episode uses humor to solve character issues while hilariously spoofing Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. All episodes could learn something from the sincerity and wit of this episode.

Dreadful
ghavengers6 August 2020
This season has been embarrassing to watch. The characters and situations are just so childish and Gary is so over the top, it is ridiculous. The better seasons were one and two, after that it has been one car crash after another.

I think it's one of the best bottle-neck episodes on TV
RainbowLynx7 January 2022
First, yes. For some reasons it's a bottle-neck episode with not so much CGI, but it's so funny, with e tear-jerking ending.

That's what I love about Legends - they are not afraid of exploring their boundaries, and even a bottle-neck episode can be turned into a masterpiece.

It's a great character development for Nora, and very pleasant appearance of an old villain.

All this is turned in a beautiful masterpiece of screenplay and direction.
