9 on Legends of Tomorrow 7x13 Review - Is This The End?The CW has historically been pretty generous about renewing shows well ahead of schedule, and some of the renewals have genuinely surprised us. With the network confirmed to be for sale, though, it seems like the brass is being a bit more tentative about spending money on new seasons. This week's episode of Legends marks the Season…
Coming off of one of the silliest episodes in a while last week, the Legends shift gears to one of the more bittersweet episodes in a while--though we know that with the finale still yet to come, things aren't quite as, well, final as they seem. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 12, "Too…
The crew of the Waverider handles multiple tones and weird pairings of storylines and characters better than lots of other shows, but this episode is one the team has been working up to all season, and some of the earned moments don't land as they should. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 11, "Rage Against…
Legends of Tomorrow is ostensibly a time travel show, but it rarely deals with time travel on a conceptual basis. That's because the impossibility of time travel makes it a logistical headache to plot for. In episode 710, though, the show took a moment to wonder what happens when you try to change a world-changing event. Spoilers…
The Legends, thanks to the weird, metatextual life they live, have had brushes with a few different genres of television, from a Star Trek ripoff to a Friends rip-off, to a show controlled by an alien named Gus Gus. So maybe it's time for a little dose of reality. Television. Oh no. Spoilers follow for Legends of…
It's not so much that the Legends get weird anymore and more just that they're weird all the time. This goofy, meta show is never afraid to puts its actors and characters in bizarre situations to see how things shake out. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 8, "Paranoid Android." "Paranoid Android" Sara (Caity Lotz)…
A time-travel show with a diverse cast presents an inherent problem: throughout most of history, a bunch of ethnically and racially diverse people appearing as a group together in many time periods and places would've caused a host of problems for that group. Instead of shying away from that, Legends of Tomorrow embraces it as a…
As the Legends try to get back to the Waverider, the pieces are starting to come together about what's going on. And now I'm wondering if the team is going to pick up two new Legends rather than just one. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 6, "Deus Ex Latrina." "Deus Ex Latrina" ADDITIONAL BAGGAGE —…
While Legends of Tomorrow stands out for its revolving cast door, it also has a track record for finding new jobs for actors whose characters don't make sense. Alternate realities, timelines, and shapeshifters make it easy to meet a doppelganger along the way. Amaya became Charlie, Flannel Zari became Fancy Zari, and now John Constantine becomes…
Legends of Tomorrow cares about its characters in a way that feels really rare for a television show. The timeline is important, of course, but compassion is, too. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 4, "Speakeasy Does It." "Speakeasy Does It" PROTECTION — When the Legends arrive in Chicago, they come across a speakeasy…
When it comes to artificial intelligence, the question of nature vs. nurture becomes very different. Humans are created (ask your parents), but an artificial intelligence is built. It has specific programming. The line between what an AI is and what it can become as it learns is easier to find and manipulate. Now that Gideon, the…
The character relationships among the Waverider's ensemble are what make Legends continue to be a gem of the Arrowverse, but the characters need forward momentum. This episode focuses too much on its characters without doing anything to move the story forward. "The Need for Speed" A TICKET TO RIDE — While the Legends contemplate how…
For the Legends, things have to go wrong before they can start going right. When last we left our heroes, they watched as the Waverider was destroyed by... another Waverider. Stuck in 1925, the crew has to figure out what comes next. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 7, Episode 1, "The Bullet Blondes." "The Bullet…
Legends of Tomorrow is such an enjoyable show that a season that has less to offer is still a step above almost every other show on the network and filled with great moments. The Season 6 finale is bulging at the seams with different storylines and character interactions, but still manages to stick the landing. Spoilers follow…
Legends of Tomorrow has developed a reputation as a warm, silly, and fearlessly weird show compared to its CW brethren and, honestly, just about everything else on TV. This season has been a somewhat weird one, surely due in part to the effects of COVID-19 on production. It's impossible, though, to say how much. Season…
What do you get when you combine a magic addict, a bunch of time-traveling superheroes with time to waste, and a board game? Well, the first thing kind of spoils the other stuff. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 6, Episode 12, "Bored on Board Onboard." "Bored on Board Onboard" This week sets up two major elements…
The Legends have been to the old west, World War I, literal Hell, and countless other strange places and times throughout their adventures. If Sara Lance and Mick Rory want to say they've seen it all, you best believe them. But you know what the Legends have never done together? They've never gone bowling. Spoilers follow for Legends…
Is John Constantine truly nothing without his magic? He certainly seems to think so, and his pursuit of a new source of magical power--after losing access to his thanks to Astra's greed--is turning him into a legendary a-hole more than anything else. This week, Constantine thinks he has a solution, though things don't go quite…
Sometimes I'll watch a show or movie and not have a strong emotional response to it immediately. It's only in retrospect that I can narrow down how I feel about it. The latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow left me feeling cold initially, but thinking about it has warmed me significantly. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season…
The Legends just can't do anything the same way the other shows are doing it--even when it comes to guest stars. But that's why we love the show. Spoilers follow for Legends of Tomorrow Season 6, Episode 8, "Stressed Western." "Stressed Western" The Legends are constantly hopping through time, visiting the French Revolution, Star City 2040, 1950s…
