I feel like this was one of those episodes of Legends that is purely filler. Yes, we got a cool Grodd centric episode, but that's far from the first time he has appeared. And yes, we got our first look at Mick's father, Dick Rory, but isn't it every episode where a team member has to awkwardly evade a family member in the past/future to avoid major consequences?
Being that Sara was mostly comatose for the episode, it was almost like the show decided to see how the dynamic would work if the captain is out. And if I'm being honest, I'm not interested in Legends of Tomorrow if Sara isn't going to be there. And really, it's hard to even pick an aspect of the show that really intrigues me at this point. It's more of me watching these episodes to be fully prepared for the big crossover next week. Who knows, my days with this show could be numbered (again).
However, these episodes always come down to how much I enjoy the subject matter. It's hard to have a lot of fun with The Vietnam War being the main setting. So no wonder there wasn't a whole lot to smile about as Grodd tried to put his own spin on the battles of the war without "good guys".
In all, Grodd made his stamp, and then was taken under the wing of Damien Darhk, Sara woke up, and Mick met his father. Pretty much an episode to skip while waiting for the big week of DC TV.
