The Review at the End of the Universe
“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. Before I analyse the groups linked to Neron I’ll briefly discuss the one that isn’t. Zari, Mona, Mick and Charlie hang around the ship as Zari tries to figure…
“Séance And Sensibility” Love -or at least lust- is in the ventilation system on a romantically charged DC’s Legends of Tomorrow where many of the characters confront feelings they have been denying themselves. Recent episodes have been setting up the possibility of a Nate/Zari romance in the true CW tradition of them just happening to…
“The Getaway” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team back to 1973 to make sure that Nixon tells his historic lies so that the timeline can be preserved. The truth has often been a problem in Arrowverse shows. Characters tend to keep vital information from one another in order to manufacture drama a d divide…
“Lucha de Apuestas” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns from a long hiatus with an unconventional love story and a visit to 1961 Mexico City to take in the wrestling culture. Mona has been a great addition to the cast. In many ways she embodies the values that we should all aspire to as she takes…
“Legends of To-Meow-Meow” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow picks up right where the previous episode left off with a broken timeline resulting in some hilarious changes for the characters. I’ve said this on repeated occasions but I continue to be both impressed and baffled by the confidence in which this show throws insanity at the audience…
“Hell No, Dolly!” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow dives right into the inner -and outer- Demons of John Constantine as a doll possessing Demon terrorises the crew. It shouldn’t be a surprise at this point but I’m constantly amazed at how this show manages to pull together a collection of ludicrous ideas and weaves them into…
“Tender is the Nate” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to 1920s Paris to hunt down a Minotaur and justify their spending to Nate’s father. In the criminally underrated 2010 movie The A-Team, that particular team are described as being the best and specialising in the ridiculous. That description could easily be applied to…
“Dancing Queen” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has Ray embrace his inner punk as John considers the implications of time travel. The idea of putting a straight shooter like Ray in a situation where he has to deal with a group of anarchists is on paper a really good idea as it’s a complete departure from…
“Witch Hunt” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow takes the team to Salem in 1642 to track down a magical threat This season promises to be as much of a riot as the previous season with magical threats both dangerous and ridiculous challenging the team in hilariously predictable ways. Juggling tone is something this show does particularly…
“The Virgin Gary” DC’s Legends of Tomorrow returns for a fourth season with a smaller team and a further shift towards magic based threats. It’s more than safe to say that pretty much anything goes on this show at this point. Last season ended with a giant Furby knock-off fighting a winged Demon and it…
