Last week’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow followed Rip Hunter on his downward turncoat spiral.

New Jersey Christmas Day 1776 

Rip has his accent and hair back and is now commanding the British army. The former Captain gives his new comrades modern weapons to defeat the Americans. He then takes it upon himself to kill General Washington in order to attract The Legends attention. Rip wants to lure them to him so he can kill The Legends and take the fragment of the spear of destiny and give it to Eobart Thawne.

Timeship Inside The Vortex

Ray sets up a chore chart to keep the ship clean. Sarah and the team learn about the death of General Washington. She knows its “a trap” and tells them to be careful and play it safe when they are in the field.

Pennsylvania Christmas Eve 1776

The team arrives at a Christmas Eve party at Washington’s estate. Mick sets the place ablaze and Sarah takes Washington out of there by gun point when they are ambushed by British soldiers. Rip uses some sonic device to find the timeship and turn off the power and coincidently kill Ray’s suit.  As Sarah, Mick and Washington try to escape they are surrounded by Rip and a few of his men. Rip shoots Sarah and then takes Mick and Washington hostage.

Timeship 1776

Jax carries Sarah back to the timeship to the med-bay. Firestorm attempts to merge to get the ship’s power back on but they can’t. Rip’s sonic device fried their merging device. Sarah then puts Jax in charge while she is out of commission. He sends Amaya and Nate to save Mick, Washington and the turncoat Rip while he and Ray work on getting the timeship back up.

Pennsylvania 1776

While on their rescue mission Nate tries to explain Tinder and modern relationships to Amaya. They are then ambushed by a few soldiers and Nate falls off a nearby cliff and into the river. Amaya channels her seal powers to save him. Unfortunately he gets hypothermia and he needs skin to skin contact to warm him up. He says this isn’t how her pictured getting her naked. Lmfao! The two finally hook up a little while later.

Over in the British camp Washington gets Mick’s life spared.

Timeship 1776

Turncoat Rip breaks into the ship and Jax sets up booby traps for him and his gang. He is chasing Jax around the timeship in order to get the fragment. When he finally finds Jax, Rip offers Jax his father’s life in exchange for the spear fragment. Jax says no. The only way he will get it is if Rip pries it from his cold dead hands.

Jax figures out how to turn the auxiliary power back on and Rip tells Jax The Legion of Doom freed him. Jax blows up another booby trap and escapes Rip. While this is going on Ray is being chased by a rat. Keep in mind he is still in miniature form.

Even though Jax escaped Rip, Rip still managed to find Martin and Sarah. Once again Rip kills Sarah by breaking her neck even after Jax told him where to find the fragment of the spear of destiny. Rip grabs the fragment of the spear from his telescope and exits the ship. Jax follows him, on a mission to murder Rip for what he has done.

Ray saves the day and gets the timeship back online. This brings Gideon back online just in time to save Sarah.

Pennsylvania 1776

Mick and Washington escape by fighting side by side. They get a little help from Amaya and Nate and they all escape the British army by fleeing.

Sarah is alive and finds Jax with a gun pointed at Rip. She makes Jax let him go and the turncoat gets away with the piece of the spear. Back at Washington’s estate Mick tries to get Washington to update the criminal justice system but is interrupted by Amaya and Nate. Washington and Mick then hug it out and Washington lets Mick know that the letter to his wife Martha was actually a battle plan.

Timeship Inside The Vortex

History has been restored and Mick has a statue of himself in Pennsylvania that he can thank Washington for. At the close of the episode the team has a Christmas party and celebrate their victory.

Ray gives Mick the rat as a Christmas present and Nate gives Amaya a pair of ruby slippers. Amaya lets Nate know that she still thinks teammates shouldn’t fraternize and he agrees even though he definitely wants a relationship with her.

Other tidbits from the episode:

Mick’s voice over for the opening. “Who writes this crap anyway?”

Hitler ruined The Wizard of Oz for Amaya. She had to ship out with the JSA before she could finish the movie.

When The Legends return on February 21st:

The Legends head to medieval England. Camelot!

Dunkirk is Christopher Nolan’s (The Dark Night, Inception) newest project. Written and directed by the master himself, Dunkirk depicts the dramatic and true story of the Dunkirk evacuations from a war torn beach and harbor in France, following the seemingly doomed plight of allied soldiers in World War II. As the enemy forces close in it seems the troops have nowhere to go, but help is at hand and a fierce battle ensues.

Nolan seems to have captured the frightening true story from the looks of the trailer. For those that have never heard of Dunkirk here is a quick history lesson: In May 1940, the Allies faced a dire scenario. The only escape from Hitler’s blitzkrieg for the nearly 400,000 soldiers stranded on the beaches of Dunkirk, France, was across the English Channel. Over the course of eight days, the vast majority of troops were rescued.

The film stars Tom Hardy (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises), Cillian Murphy (Batman Begins, Inception), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies) and Harry Styles from One Direction. Dunkirk is set to release in the summer of 2017.

In the first moments of the trailer we get a glimpse of the action-packed adventure devised from the mind of Nolan as soldiers are picked off by German soldiers via air attack. We are then greeted by a clip where the men are surrounded by the enemy their ships are ambushed. Later on we see Cillian Murphy’s character escape and makes it to his father’s boat. His father turns the boat back around and heads to Dunkirk. “There is no hiding from this son. We have a job to do.” Cillian tells him that if they go back they will die. They still head back.

Another clip shows a young officer being shot in the face. Other soldiers in his platoon are forced to cover his mouth and muffle his screams so that he doesn’t blow their cover.

Toward the end of the trailer we get a glimpse at Hardy’s character. It looks like he is a German soldier who is bombing the unit of British Empire, French and Belgian soldiers.

This film has the makings of another Nolan blockbuster hit. Don’t believe me? Check out the trailer for yourself:

Last season The Legends were left to take the place of the Time Masters that were destroyed. The season premiere of Legends started in Star City 2016 and uses flashbacks to tell the story of what happened to the Legends.

Star City 2016:

Dr. Nate Heywood comes to Oliver Queen to tell him that the Legends are in trouble. Heywood is a time detective/historian who found the Legend’s timeship in the bottom of the ocean. Queen and Heywood enter the ship and see that it is still keeping Mick in stasis. They wake Mick up and he begins to tell the story of what happened to the rest of the team.

France 1637:

The team is trying to save the King of France. Well most of the team. Sarah is busy fornicating with the Queen while the men are battling. They end up saving the King and restore a small portion of history.

Once the team heads back to the ship they experience a time quake; an unusually large aberration in NYC 1942. NYC was nuked by Nazi’s in 1942. The exact place Rex Tyler told them not to return to as this would be the year the team is killed. The team then discovers that WWII last two more years and Einstein goes missing. Putting two and two together the team realizes Einstein was kidnapped to create the atomic bomb.

NYC 1942:

The team kidnaps Einstein only to discover his ex-wife was the one who helped the Nazi’s create the atomic bomb. Mick’s love for “roasting Nazi’s” and Sarah’s quest to kill Damien Dhark costs the team greatly. They are unable to get the bomb and it makes its way onto a submarine.

Rip Hunter decides to take matters into his own hands. He has been secretly teaching Jefferson about the timeship and uses the time scatter he created to send the team into different parts of history. All except Mick of course who was too injured to travel. Mick is placed in stasis as Rip and the timeship make a collision course for the torpedo with the bomb and stop NYC from being nuked. Rip presumably goes down with his ship.

Star City 2016:

Mick and Heywood team up to find the other Legends.

South Dakota 70 Million Years Ago:

Ray is a caveman being chased by a T-Rex.

England 821:

Jefferson and Martin are Jesters that are about to have their heads taken off.

Salem 1693:

Sarah is corrupting women as usual and is deemed a witch to be burned at the stake.

After the team is reassembled they hear Rip’s final message. “History is yours now, my dear Legends.” The team is still unable to locate him.

Columbia 1942:

We then head to 1942 Columbia where Einstein acknowledges his ex-wife’s contributions and in turn restores history. We also learn that Damien Dhark and Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash) are working together. The Legends are then confronted by the Justice Society of America (JSA).

The JSA is made up of Commander Steel, Dr. Mid-Nite, Hourman (Rex Tyler), Vixen, Stargirl and Obsidian.

JSA Headquarters 1942:

The Legends are held in a cell at the JSA headquarters while Thawne is out there giving a serum to Hitler that creates super soldiers. After pleading their case the Legends are let go and oddly enough Martin is appointed interim captain of the ship.

Both the JSA and Legends team up (well The Legends intrude on the JSA’s undercover operation…. same thing) to go after Krieger aka Captain Nazi to save the JSA members from dying. Martin sings for his life and Ray causes a fight after he won’t salute Hitler. Stargirl shuts down the fight with one blast from her staff.

The teams head back to the ship and that is where Sarah discovers Heywood is a hemophiliac; his blood doesn’t clot and he could die from a minor injury.

Fountainbleu Forest 1942:

Captain Nazi injects himself with the serum and becomes a hulk-like figure. The teams are forced to pull back and leave behind Vixen and Ray. However, Rex does recover the amulet.

Captain Nazi and tow capture The Atom (Ray) and Vixen. Rex is willing to sacrifice the two to end the war a day earlier, however Sarah (now the new captain of the ship) won’t allow that to happen.

Back in the bunker where Ray and Vixen are being kept Ray discovers the serum and tweaks it in order to give him superpowers. Unfortunately before he is able to inject himself he is stopped by the JSA and Legends rescue.

Outside the camp Commander Steel and Dr. Mid-Nite are being attacked by Captain Nazi. Heywood to the rescue! Nate rescues his grandfather via motorcycle and watches Captain Nazi be decimated by an airstrike. However, the celebration doesn’t last long as the grandson-grandfather team are also hit by the airstrike. Nate suffers severe internal bleeding and is basically dying until Ray sacrifices his chance at superpowers and gives the serum to Nate, saving his life. They return to NYC 1942.

NYC 1942:

Commander Steel’s dog tags return around Nate’s neck signifying the timeline has been restored.

JSA Headquarters 1942:

Rex meets Thawne face to face and learns that Thawne erased him from the timeline. Thawne then kills Rex and steals the amulet.

Next Week

The team heads to Japan and faces off with Shogun.

Nate Heywood becomes Citizen Steel.
