The mid-season finale of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow took us all the way back to 1927 Chicago and introduced us to Al Capone.

1927 Chicago

Damien Darhk and Eobart Thawne (Reverse Flash) set up a meeting with Al Capone. After thwarting Capone’s goons they introduce him to a third member of their crew; Malcom Merlin. The three promise Capone they can find a way to keep his empire afloat and make him even more powerful they he could ever imagine.

Timeship (Inside the Vortex)

Nate and Ray continue their sibling rivalry and breaking things until Sarah, taking on the role of their mother, makes them stop before they do some serious damage to the time ship…again. Shortly after The Legends are informed of an aberration in 1927 Chicago and embark on their next adventure.

1927 Chicago

The Legends learn that Darhk and Thawne are working with Capone. They also learn that Capone is going after Elliot Ness (the man who helps take Capone down). Two police officers nab Ness and take him to a pier where they attach cinder blocks to his ankles and dump him in the river. Vixen uses her amulet to channel dolphin powers and is able to save Ness from death. They bring him back to the ship and later on learn that he was a diversion in a much larger scheme set up by Darhk and crew.

Timeship 1927 Chicago

Gideon begins patching up Ness but informs the team that he needs to stay in the med-bay longer than usual as he has brain damage. Therefore, Nate has to impersonate Ness while Sarah, Martin and Jax go undercover at the club associated with Capone.

Vixen stays behind to babysit Mick who is seeing visions of Leonard Snart; Snart wants to set him straight.

1927 Chicago

The team’s cover is blown when Thawne enters the club and quickly grabs Martin and Sarah. They are brought back to a basement of some sorts and Merlin pays the two a visit. Merlin informs Sarah that he arranged for the Gambit (the boat she and Oliver Queen were on) to be blown up and was the reason they got stranded on the island. He then offers Sarah a deal; the amulet for a rewrite of history. Sarah turns him down.

Martin then comes clean to Sarah about his daughter Lily. Sarah tells Martin that she isn’t real and that they need to fix the aberration. Their conversation is then interrupted by Damien Darhk. He has his men grab Martin and bring him to Thawne.

Timeship 1927 Chicago

Back on the timeship Mick takes charge and tells the team they are going to do things his way. They are going to have to become criminals in order to save Sarah and Martin.

1927 Chicago

Vixen and Mick take a play out of Bonnie and Clyde’s book and steal one of Capone’s trucks.

Thawne stabs Martin with some sort of device as Vixen rescues Sarah. Mick sees Snart again as he is searching for Martin. Snart tells Mick to get out of the game before he is killed.

Nate and Ray find the ledger and meet up with the rest of the team after they find Martin. Capone has his men fire at The Legends but ultimately lets them go.

Timeship 1927 Chicago

Mick sees Snart for a third time. He tells Mick that the self-sacrifice thing isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

While Mick tries to rid his brain of his Snart hallucination, Jax sees that Thawne has impersonated Martin and is ransacking the library for the amulet. Sarah heads into the library and is attacked by Thawne. He escapes after Nate steps in to help Sarah and races down the hallway. Jax shoots him with the speedster weapon only debilitating him for a few seconds.

Thawne then locks the crew in the bay and allows Merlin and crew to enter the Waverider. They ransack the ship and fire at anyone who gets in their way.

Mick and Vixen find a way to get the bay open and team up to catch Thawne as Sarah and Merlin face off. Thawne almost kills Vixen but Mick saves her.

Sarah has a knife to the throat of Merlin and makes a deal with him; she gives him the amulet in exchange for Martin’s location.

1927 Chicago

Martin is at the pier about to get whacked when Sarah comes to his rescue. While Sarah is busy untying Martin, Nate and Ray return Ness to his time. They hand Ness the ledger, tell him that this will help him catch Capone and head back to the timeship.

Timeship 1927 Chicago

Vixen gives Mick booze and a kiss on the cheek as thanks for saving her life.

Sarah decides to not force Martin into giving up Lily. She wants to protect her family (The Legends) and by protecting them she has to protect Lily as she is Martin’s family.

1927 Chicago

Thawne puts the amulet together (it was in two pieces) and reveals it to be a compass. The compass that will lead them to the spear of destiny, a weapon that can be used to rewrite reality but first they need Rip Hunter.

1967 Los Angeles

Rip Hunter is no longer British and is now a big time director. It looks like he is directing a movie about time masters. Where has he been all this time?

DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns Tuesday January 24^th, 2017.  *NOTE THAT LEGENDS HAS NOW BEEN MOVED TO TUESDAYS. IT WILL NO LONGER AIR ON THURSDAY NIGHTS.

The Flash season 3 trailer:

Last season Barry went back in time and saved his mother, altering the world he once knew. In this alternate universe Barry no longer knows Joe or Iris and Cisco is now the richest man in America. In this trailer The Reverse Flash is back and informs Barry everything he is witnessing is a mirage. We also get a clip where Alchemy is written on the wall. For those not familiar with the DC Universe, Dr. Alchemy aka Mr. Element aka Albert Desmond is a notorious chemist with a personality disorder who uses talents as a chemist to create elemental weapons. According to Deadline, as Desmond, he works in the forsenics lab of Central City’s Police Department. Doctor Alchemy also possesses the Philosopher’s Stone which once belonged to Merlin. By pressing the stone it allows Doctor Alchemy to transmute any element into any other element (ie: Steel into rubber or healthy oxygen into deadly carbon monoxide). He also possesses the power to transform the human body, having once turned The Flash into a being of water vapor.

Kid Flash also makes an appearance in the trailer. Will we see Kid Flash and Barry team up to defeat Mr. Element and restore everything back to the way it was?

Season 4 premieres Tuesday October 4^th on The CW.

Game of Thrones season 7 teaser:

This teaser gives a unique insight on the production of Game of Thrones. We get a glimpse of the craftsmanship that goes into creating this spectacular television series. A treat we don’t normally get to see.

Season 7’s release date has not yet been announced but we do know that this season will not start in April like it normally does. Due to weather delays and a need for snow, it looks like we may not see it air until May or June.

Arrow season 5 trailer:

In the aftermath of defeating the Ghosts and Damien Darhk, Oliver assembles a new team of heroes to help protect Star City. These members were inspired by Oliver’s relentlessness in spite of adversity and his ability to defeat Darhk.

We also see clips of Oliver in Russia and the rise of a new villain.

Season 5 premieres Wednesday October 5^th, 8/7c on The CW.

Wonder Woman trailer:

Bada** woman alert! Warner Bros and DC Films are definitely doing Wonder Woman justice in this film. Gal Gadot perfectly embodies the bada**ery that is Diana Prince. The slow-mo shots of Gadot in action in this trailer are incredible. This trailer is giving us high hopes about the film in its entirety.

Wonder Woman hits the silver screen June 2^nd, 2017.

Justice League trailer:

This trailer alone has turned me into SUPER GEEK! Aquaman, The Flash, Batman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg all coming at you while The White Stripes’s Iggy Thump plays in the background. Barry Allen is quirky and hilarious in this trailer. Aquaman is quite frightening and Cyborg is well your typical Cyborg. The IMDB cast listing for this movie is also swoon worthy. There are rumors of Iris West and The Joker making a cameo in this film. I may be reading too much into this but if an Arkham Guard has been cast in this film it must mean we are heading to Arkham Asylum at some point, which happens to be the last place we saw The Joker. Coincidence, maybe? Or maybe not?

Justice League hits theaters November 17^th, 2017.

The Walking Dead season 7 trailer:

Season 7 premieres October 23rd on AMC.

Doctor Strange trailer:

Get ready to go on a trippy ride into the many universes of Marvel’s Doctor Strange.

As per IMDB, Marvel’s “Doctor Strange” follows the story of the talented neurosurgeon Doctor Stephen Strange who, after a tragic car accident, must put ego aside and learn the secrets of a hidden world of mysticism and alternate dimensions. Based in New York City’s Greenwich Village, Doctor Strange must act as an intermediary between the real world and what lies beyond, utilizing a vast array of metaphysical abilities and artifacts to protect the Marvel cinematic universe.

This visually spectacular film hits theaters November 4^th.

American Gods first look trailer:
