The Review at the End of the Universe
“Mortal Khanbat” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow displaces Genghis Khan to 90s Hong Kong and has John Constantine deal with his own mortality. One thing I often praise about this show is its unique ability to juggle a large cast, different tones and plots that couldn’t be more different. Everything typically links together almost seamlessly making…
“A Head of Her Time” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow sends the team to a party in Revolutionary France as John confronts uncomfortable personal truths. This season’s main plot very much revolves around John Constantine and his history. At the moment it feels like he’s in another show that’s running parallel to the exploits of the…
“Slay Anything” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes a stab at delivering its own take on the slasher genre when the team deal with a serial killer escaped from Hell.

“Nip/Stuck” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow picks up the pieces following the team learning about Neron possessing Ray and try to figure out their next move. One of the major strengths of this show is the constant focus on characters and the unflinching commitment to have the story flow from them. This isn’t always true but…
“Egg MacGuffin” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow deals with the Ray possession plot, continues to develop the Nate/Zari relationship and gives Mick’s role as a writer attention. “Egg MacGuffin” is one of those episodes where it’s hard to put a pin in what it’s actually about because the focus is spread pretty evenly between all of…
“The Eggplant, the Witch and the Wardrobe” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow splits the team into groups to tackle separate yet connected plots that revolve around Neron.
