This week The Legends (and Rip) took us to both the past and the future in hopes of securing fragments of the spear of destiny. We got to see Camelot and Detroit in the year 3000.

Detroit 3000:

Rip finds Dr. Midnight in Detroit and kills him for his fragment of the spear. The Legends arrive shortly after and discover a brutally murdered Dr. Midnight with the word “Rip” spelled out in his blood.

Timeship:

Back on the timeship Gideon tracked down another fragment of the spear. It’s in Camelot. The team heads to Medieval England while Martin studies the nuero-gadget he stole from Dr. Midnight’s lab. Martin chooses Mick to be his test subject in trying to figure out how to control the device Dr. Midnight created.

Medieval England:

The Legends make it to Camelot and are greeted by Guinevere. Her and her men escort them back to the kingdom to meet King Arthur. There the Legends also meet Merlin aka Star Girl from the JSA. Star Girl tells the team that the last mission the JSA was sent on was with Rip. He gave three of them a fragment of the spear, keeping one for himself, and scattered the three JSA members throughout time. Star Girl stored her fragment in something having to do with the Knights of the Round Table but won’t let Amaya know exactly where it is because it is her duty, and hers alone, to protect it.

The Legends finally meet King Arthur but not under the circumstances they were hoping for. Arthur has been captured by Darhk and Rip. Rip who also stole some of Dr.  Midnight’s technology is mind controlling Arthur. Darhk tells them they have until sundown to choose; either they surrender Camelot or give up the spear of destiny.

Rip then makes Arthur murder Sir Galahad forcing Guinevere to become the leader of the Knights of the Round Table.

Star Girl is then forced to give up the location of the spear of destiny. It is inside Excalibur. Star Girl tells Amaya it is now her duty to protect the spear as Star Girl will be remaining in Camelot; she is in love with King Arthur and has made a home for herself as Amaya has with The Legends.

Ray also chooses to stay in Camelot even when Nate tells him he will die there. The battle for Camelot begins.

Timeship:

The Legends return to the timeship without Ray and Mick says he won’t abandon him. The rest of the team agrees and Sarah, Amaya and Nate go back for Ray while Jax, Mick and Martin work on the mind control device. Jax, Mick and Martin figure out that Mick can control the device because of his intensity and deeply scarred childhood. The device is not able to be overpowered by Martin’s powerful mind.

Mick unleashes his trauma upon King Arthur and his army and breaks their mind control.

Medieval England:

Rip is injured in battle and Darhk leaves him behind. Sarah and The Legends capture Rip and place him on the timeship.

Ray chases after Darhk and they battle until Darhk plays possum and shoots Ray with a laser gun. Luckily he wore his atom suit under his Knight’s armor and is unharmed.

The Legends head back to the timeship leaving Star Girl behind, after Sarah kisses Guinevere.

Timeship:

Back on the timeship Mick won’t let up about the fact that his brain and not Martin’s saved the day. Jax finds and confronts a caged Rip and threatens to kill him if he tries to hurt anyone again. Unfortunately that may come sooner rather than later as Gideon still listens to Rip.

Next Episode (Tuesday March 7^th):

Gideon sets Rip free and he initiates the Waverider’s self-destruct mode.

Sarah faces off with herself in a dream world.

The final installment of DC’s 4 night epic crossover event concluded with last night’s episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. Still located in Central City The Legends team up with the rest of the crossover team to eliminate The Dominators.

Central City 2016

After escaping the mothership and their abductors the team decides they want to commit an abduction of their own. Mick, Amaya, Nate, Felicity and Cisco head back in time to 1951 to kidnap a Dominator. Back at the base aka the Star Labs hanger, Oliver wants Kara to sit out or minimize her involvement in order to regain a sense of normalcy. He can’t handle all the aliens, even if a good one is on his side.

While Oliver continues to piss off Kara, Caitlin and Martin work on a plan to figure out how to defeat The Dominators back at Star Labs. Without Ray they aren’t doing too well. Luckily Martin’s daughter Lily helps them out as she has a PhD in Nanophysiology.

Timeship Central City 2016

On the timeship Cisco and Felicity geek out and start asking Nate all these techy questions that he can’t answer. They also throw in a Grease reference. “This ship is automatic. Systematic. Hydromatic.”

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The team lands in 1951 Redmond, Oregon moments later and Felicity experiences all the side effects of time travel. Therefore Felicity and Cisco are forced to stay on the timeship but not before Nate throws in a Princess Bride reference.

In the field Nate finally brings out his star spangled supersuit. Mick is not a fan but then again he really doesn’t like anything. While Mick, Amaya and Nate wait for a weak alien in the group, Cisco and Felicity have a mini therapy session. She tries to get him to see Barry’s point of view and understand that Dante’s death wasn’t his fault. It doesn’t work.

Cisco doesn’t have to dwell on it for long as Mick, Amaya and Nate spot a stray Dominator and make a move. They torch and beat it up a bit in order to grab it. Unfortunately they were not the only one’s looking to capture a Dominator. The group encounters a special government agent squad lead by Agent Smith and they are tranquilized and taken. Cisco and Felicity jump into action to rescue them.

Inside the cell Amaya and Nate realize the tranquilizer they were shot with is affecting their powers. They also learn of their cellmate; The Dominator they tried to capture earlier. They attempt to communicate with it.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Back at Star Labs Martin’s daughter (Lily) notices her father seems off. He is acting distant and treating her like a stranger, which to him she is. However, Martin doesn’t plan on dealing with this adversity for too long. He plans on restoring the timeline and in doing so will erase Lily from existence.

On the other side of town The White Canary (Sarah), The Green Arrow (Oliver), The Flash (Barry) and The Atom (Ray) are waiting for the president but are greeted by Agent Smith. The same Agent Smith, now much older, who kidnapped Amaya, Mick, Nate and The Dominator back in 1951. Smith informs the team that The Dominators dislike metas because they perceive them as a threat. Instead of accepting the team’s help, Smith and his special agents engage in a battle with the team.

Redmond, Oregon 1951

The other half of the team learns The Dominators are here to determine if the metahumans (at that period of time the JSA) are a threat. They are then rescued by the nerds (Cisco and Felicity) and set The Dominator that they captured free. Turns out the Waverider has a Dominator ship and they use that ship to send the Dominator back to its mothership. Not before Cisco snagged a transponder from the ship though.

Amaya, Mick, Nate, Felicity and Cisco strap in and return home to Central City 2016.

Central City 2016

At the hanger Agent Smith lets Barry know he knows everything about him and how he altered the timeline. The Dominators are back because of Barry. He unknowingly broke the truce by changing the timeline and creating flashpoint. However Agent Smith lets Barry know of the deal he made with the alien invaders. If Barry surrenders himself to The Dominators they will leave in peace.

The other half of the team returns to the hanger and gets a phone call from The Dominator they saved. He tells them he will spare their lives but if Barry doesn’t turn himself in The Dominators will unleash a weapon that will destroy all metahumans.

After getting this news Dominator ships begin to land all over the world. Cisco tries to call The Dominator back but he doesn’t answer. Hoping to get in contact with The Dominator he spoke to earlier Cisco vibes into the mothership with Nate.

They find him and learn the reason why The Dominators are threatened by Metahumans. They are afraid if bad people get powers they will use them to harm others and destroy the planet. The Dominators have seen it happen before and refuse to let history repeat itself. Speaking of history. Turns out Nate, Amaya, Cisco, Mick and Felicity altered the timeline when they saved The Dominator back in 1951. Cisco is finally able to understand Barry’s side of the story and the regret he feels.

Star Labs Central City 2016

Martin reconciles with Lily and she is able to figure out how to get the Nano-device to work. Is he having a change of heart? Will he still erase her from existence and restore the timeline or choose to save his daughter?

Central City 2016

As usual Barry wants to be a martyr and prepares to turn himself over. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Except for the fact that Oliver and the rest of the team won’t let him leave. Even Cisco wants him to stay. He calls Barry his friend again.

Ships all over the world and in Central City begin opening up. The team quickly discovers that it was a guise used to distract them from the real threat pummeling toward the Earth; The Dominators metabomb.

Martin arrives in time to give Barry the Nano-device crafted by Lily. Team crossover takes on The Dominators to distract them while Barry plants Martin and Lily’s weapon on all them. Amidst the battle Oliver is thrown off a building by the invaders but is saved by Supergirl.

In the air Sarah and Cisco use the Waverider to try and grab the metabomb. They recruit Firestorm to help them. Firestorm has to transmute the device into something harmless.

Supergirl and The Flash go across the globe planting devices on the remaining Dominators. Felicity uses the device to hurt The Dominators allowing Firestorm to successfully transmute the device causing The Dominators to retreat around the world.

Team crossover celebrates their victory and Ray slips in a nod to his Man of Steel days when he says Kara looks like his cousin.

Speaking of Kara. Oliver apologies to her and results in a Barry-Kara-Oliver (an unwilling participant) group hug. Cisco interrupts the moment to Oliver’s relief and presents Kara with a gift he made. The gift is an interdimensional extrapolator that creates small breaches so she can come back to this earth anytime she wants. It also has a communication device so she can contact the team when she wants/needs to.

Mick eavesdrops and learns of the device. He uses it to segway into a pickup line and hits on skirt aka Kara, telling her to call him.

In another part of the hanger Martin makes Jax promise not to tell the team about his daughter. He has had a change of heart and doesn’t want to lose her. If Jax tells the team they will be forced to restore the timeline and erase her from existence. The question remains: what other changes will this aberration make to the timeline if left alone?

Agent Smith briefly returns to speak to the team but before he can get a word out Kara tells him he has been reassigned to Antarctica. After silencing Smith Kara uses her breach device and returns home.

Forgiveness came full circle for Barry in the close of this episode. Diggle forgives him and tells Barry that he has to forgive himself.

Looking to continue the celebration Barry and Oliver head out to have a drink. After a few jabs their conversation turns more sincere. They realize that their lives would not be full if they were normal. They finally appreciate just how lucky they are.

Next Week:

Mid-season finale of The Flash: The Flash from Earth 3 and Barry take on Savitar.

Mid-season finale of Arrow: Evelyn goes rogue and unveils herself as a traitor who is working for Prometheus.

Mid-season finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow: Al Capone arrives and Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold returns but not as The Legends version of Snart. He is just a criminal. Could this be the beginning of The Legion of Doom?

Last night’s [Thursday November 10^th] episode of DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow took us back to 1987. Big hair, shoulder pads, Cutting Crew and Obsidian’s triumphant return set up the mood for the “Compromised”. Even Damien Darhk channeled his inner Miami Vice while collecting a fasces, an ancient Imperial Roman symbol of power featuring a bundle of sticks with an axe, indicating the power over life and death, from a buyer in Miami. Looking for his Sonny Crockett to go with his inner Ricardo Tubbs, Eobart Thawne (Reverse Flash) asks Darhk to be his partner with an added bonus of real power. Darhk turns down the offer as he prefers to work alone.

Timeship Inside The Vortex

After what he experienced in the last episode, Jax wants to make small changes to the timeline that he can control; he wants to create small aberrations in order to make the world a better place. Martin warns Jax about the effects even a small change can have on the timeline and reminds him that they are there to restore history not tinker with it.

Speaking of tinkering, Ray begins his cold gun training with Mick. After ruining a few of Mick’s beers, Mick tells Ray to channel his inner anger and rage.

As all this is going on Nate creates a way to track timequakes. A timeseismograph of sorts. Moments after Amaya (Vixen) names his invention it starts tracking an aberration in Washington DC 1987.

Washington DC 1987

Nate and Amaya head to the JSA (Justice Society of America) headquarters to reach out to current JSA members while the rest of The Legends sneak into the White House. After arriving at a warehouse where the JSA training facility is hidden, Nate and Amaya discover no members of the JSA. The facility has been abandoned.

Back at The White House Martin runs into his younger self as Ray channels his inner Captain Cold (Leonard Snart) and steals some of President Reagan’s jelly beans. At least he was nice enough to share them with Mick. Seconds later Darhk crosses their path; he is in The White House as an advisor on the Reagan administration. Sarah learns of his presence and goes on the hunt. She goes after Darhk and subsequently gets the team kicked out of the White House.

Turns out the JSA facility was not exactly abandoned. Obsidian, the same JSA member we saw in 1942, finds Amaya and Nate. Nate knocks him out thinking he is going to attack the duo. After waking up Obsidian tells Amaya that after she left the JSA went on mission and they never made it back. He wasn’t allowed on that mission because he couldn’t be trusted.

After getting kicked out of The White House, the team had to come up with another plan to figure out what Darhk is up to. Hence, Ray and Mick’s stake out during Darhk’s meeting with a KGB agent. A naive young Martin introduces himself to Darhk after following him there. He then questions him for having a meeting with a KGB agent outside of The White House scheduled meetings and gets himself into some hot water. He is then stabbed by Darhk. Mick and Ray can’t get to him in time and therefore present Martin begins to bleed out just as his younger self is. Ray and Mick bring young Martin back to the ship and Gideon proceeds to fix him and save his life.

Timeship Washington DC 1987

Throughout the episode Nate had been trying to get information from Amaya on what his grandfather, Commander Steel, was like. After some prying he learns that the Commander loved to sing and also gets Amaya to open up about her relationship with Rex; Rex and Amaya were going to leave the JSA to start a new life together. Amaya once again uses Obsidian and his connections to get the team into the state dinner. She is proving to be a real asset to the team.

Washington DC 1987

Young Martin is M. I. A. once again and present Martin steps in; He dances with the younger version of his wife, Clarissa. Soon after Darhk arrives to the party and heads to a basement meeting. In said meeting he hands the KGB a cd-rom with government information and gets a box in return. What’s in the box?

The Legends arrive to try and break up the meeting but soon learn Darhk planted a bomb in the room where the state dinner is being held. Mick and Ray go on the hunt for it while Sarah goes after Darhk and the rest of the team takes on his henchmen. Ray tries to channel his inner Snart again and Mick finally realizes he is nothing like Snart was, which is a good thing. He apologizes to Ray for trying to make him like his long-lost friend and tells him to science his way out of disarming the bomb. Ray proceeds to dismantle the cold gun to overload the bomb.

Amaya and Obsidian find Darhk who fires bullets at Obsidian to no avail. Disappointed he shoots at Amaya but Obsidian takes the bullet for her. Sarah then hits Darhk with a ninja star and tells him about his future demise. She chooses to let him live and he is scooped up by Thawne moments later. Sarah tells the team that the time traveler is a speedster and shows them that she was able to swipe the box off Darhk. Seriously, what’s in the box?!

Timeship Washington DC 1987

The team heads back to the timeship and Martin knocks some sense into his younger self. He makes young Martin realize Clarissa is the most important thing in his life. He makes him promise to show that to her. Young Martin sees the error of his ways and agrees to prove his love to Clarissa each and every day.

Gideon heals Obsidian’s wound and we learn that he is gay and that is why he wasn’t trusted to go on the mission back then. He then goes on to tell Amaya that he found true love and that she shouldn’t turn away from love if she finds it again. Will the friendship between Amaya and Nate blossom to something more?

Washington DC 1987

At the close of the episode Thawne created a timeship for Darhk and they head into the speed force. Where are these two headed now? Is Thawne the reason Darhk gained his dark magic?

Next Week:

Wild West and Jonah Hex.
