Legends of Tomorrow - The Magnificent Eight

Hoping to hide out from the Time Masters, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) takes his team to the Old West where Ray (Brandon Routh) and Martin Stein (Victor Garber) both find themselves tempted in unexpected ways and Kendra (Ciara Renée) runs into the person (Anna Deavere Smith) she least expects. Although better than that awful movie, the show’s version of Jonah Hex (Johnathon Schaech) isn’t one of the show’s best reinterpretations nor does the minimal insight he gives in Rip’s past justify his appearance here.

Supergirl - Myriad

“Myriad” is a messy episode, especially given it’s the culmination of Non‘s (Chris Vance) big plans for the planet and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist). With all of National City under Kryptonian mind-control, Supergirl offers not one but two reasons for Superman not to be around to help. The first, that the Man of Steel is off-world dealing with a crisis may be cheap but it at least makes sense. The second, that he shows up and falls under the mind-control because he was raised on Earth, is just goofy. The only ones not effected are Kara (who was a Kryptonian the machine was designed to effect, let’s not forget), Non’s soldiers (also Kryptonians), the prisoners from Fort Roz, J’onn Jonzz‘s (David Harewood), and the unlikely duo of Maxwell Lord (Peter Facinelli) and Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart).

Arrow - Eleven-Fifty-Nine

The latest episode of Arrow answers one big question while raising several others. More than once during “Eleven-Fifty-Nine” I wondered if I had missed an episode somewhere. Yes, I remember the team letting Andy Diggle (Eugene Byrd) out of his cage and deciding to trust him but when did he become a trusted field agent of Team Arrow? And weren’t we just seeing Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman) mock Damien Darhk (Neal McDonough) and telling the would-be conqueror that H.I.V.E. was leaving him in prison and moving on with their plans without him? Why, all of the sudden does Malcolm want to help Darhk? And, as for the Diggle storyline, is there anyone anywhere that didn’t see how blatantly obvious his betrayal would play out?

Legends of Tomorrow - Left Behind

Picking up immediately after the events of the previous episode, “Left Behind” opens with Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Kendra (Ciara Renée), and Sara (Caity Lotz) marooned in 1958. After waiting for the ship and then attempting to create a time beacon to call their friends back, eventually the threesome must give up hope of rescue and carve out new lives for themselves in the past. For Sara this means returning to the League of Assassins decades before her birth. For Ray and Kendra it means settling in to a life together.
