Legends of Tomorrow - Doomworld television review

Having gotten their hands on the Spear of Destiny and reshaped reality to their liking, the Legion of Doom are enjoying the spoils of their victory, some more than others. Recasting the various Legends in roles as subordinates in various demeaning positions, the villains have everything they could want, although internal bickering soon leads to turmoil among the group. The catalyst for change comes in the form of the team’s turncoat who realizes the return of his former partner and the resumption of the criminal enterprises isn’t the same the second time around.

Legends of Tomorrow - The Legion of Doom TV review

Presented largely from the villains’ perspective, “The Legion of Doom” focuses on the dysfunctional trio of Malcom Merlyn (John Barrowman), Damien Darkh (Neal McDonough), and the Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher) as they work to try and get answers out of the fried brain of Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). Even without his full personality or memories, Hunter is able to pit the villains against each other and make Merlyn and Darhk begin to question their ability to trust their partner. This eventually leads to an explanation of what Thawne is running from and why the Reverse-Flash must rely on partners to get his hands on the Spear of Destiny.

Legends of Tomorrow - Raiders of the Lost Art  TV review

“Raiders of the Lost Art” brings the Legends to 1967 in search of their lost captain. However, they aren’t the only ones looking for Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill). The villainous team of Malcom Merlyn (John Barrowman), Damien Darkh (Neal McDonough), and the Reverse-Flash (Matt Letscher) are also on the look-out for Hunter believing he can lead them to the scattered pieces of the Spear of Destiny which the “Legion of Doom” can use to manipulate reality itself. Unfortunately for all involved the Rip Hunter found in 1967 isn’t the captain of the Waverider. Instead he’s a promising film student and classmate of George Lucas (Matt Angel) working on a student film about time traveling heroes cobbled together from hazy memories he doesn’t believe are real.

Legends of Tomorrow - Invasion!

I guess it’s not surprising that the the show with the biggest cast would be the one to deal best with the Invasion! crossover, even if that does mean that The CW’s weakest super-hero link provides the best episode of the quartet. The final episode reveals the motives for the Dominators‘ arrival and just what they have planned for the Earth’s meta-human population. The fact that Barry‘s (Grant Gustin) time-divergence is responsible for the Dominators, who after the reveal seem more like timecops than killer monsters, was a bit of a surprise. The demand that Barry turn himself over to the aliens or they would kill all the meta-humans on the planet is awkward (given their fear of meta-humans is there any reason to believe they would be satisfied with only Barry?). In much the same way the logic to beating the aliens is questionable (could they really be certain to get every Dominator?), but it does give Barry and Kara (Melissa Benoist) the chance for more tag-team goodness.

The Invasion! crossover continues, focusing mainly on current and former Arrow cast members who are abducted by the Dominators and thrown into a virtual-reality world in which Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Thea‘s (Willa Holland) parents are still alive, Diggle (David Ramsey) is the Green Arrow, and Oliver is set to marry Laurel (Katie Cassidy). Haunted by memory flashes of their true lives, Oliver, Thea, Diggle, Ray (Brandon Routh), and Sara (Caity Lotz) come together to fight their way out of the fake reality and back into the real world where they wake up to discover they are aboard a Dominator mother ship in outer space.
