Tomorrow's Legends

Left with no other choice, our team journeys to the year 2166 to confront Vandal Savage at the height of his power. After their first kidnap attempt fails, one of Savage's "lieutenants"identifies our team of time travelers in the crowd. Kendra notices the lieutenant is wearing her bracelet from her first life and notifies the team it can be used to kill Savage. Rip sends Snart and Rory to recover the bracelet and they return with the lieutenant. During Snart's creative interrogation, we learn the lieutenant is really Cassie Savage which explains why Savage has entrusted her with the bracelet. We learn her mother was killed by the Armageddon virus Savage released, although Cassie thinks Per Degaton is responsible for the deaths of millions. Meanwhile, Ray and Dr. Stein are trying to figure out wha tSavage's super weapon is while Rory and Kendra work on a super weapon of their own. Ray and Dr. Stein come to the conclusion tha tthe super weapon is a giant weapon and Ray works out a plan to stop it from killing t

Picking up right where last week left off, the team is under immediate strain as the Pilgrim begins hunting them down one by one as their younger selves. Although a serious threat, they manage to find humor and fun in seeing their younger selves, and even try to impart wisdom to themselves. During the attempts on their younger lives, we see exactly why the Pilgrim should be feared as she displays some amazing abilities the team wasn't prepared for. But learning to work together, and form a plan, they find a way to overcome this awesome new adversary.  

At Mick Rory's suggestion, Rip decides to run to the town of Salvation in 1871, a fragmentation in the timeline to hide the team from the Hunters. Everyone on the team is eager to explore the Wild West and head to the local saloon while Rip remains behind on the Waverider. All too soon, Dr. Stein and Snart cause an altercation over a card game and start a brawl in the saloon, drawing the attention of Jonah Hex. Hex confronts the team and demands to know where Rip Hunter is.  They all return to the Waverider where Rip and Hex have a cryptic conversation about the fate of Calvert, another town in the Wild West that was burned down by a local gang. Despite knowing the consequences, Rip does nothing to stop the team from returning to town with Hex in order to save the town from the Stillwater gang. Ray becomes Sheriff and drives the gang out of town, granting the town a reprieve from their malice. Dr. Stein discovers a boy who is dying from Tuberculosis in an attempt to gain information on the Stillwater gang's h

The team heads to 2147, with Rory imprisoned on the Waverider, to stop Vandal Savage. Rip informs the team that a tyrant named Per Degaton rises to power under Vandal's guidance, and ultimately releases a virus which decimates the world population, leaving it ripe for Vandal Savage to take over power. We learn Per Degaton is a teenage boy and the team wrestles with the idea of killing a child. In the end, they decide to kidnap Per Degaton and remove him from the timelines. In theory this would remove the avenue through which Vandal Savage would rise to power. While in pursuit of Per Degaton, we are introduced to the world of 2147 in the Kasnia Conglomerate where Ray's atom suits have morphed into robots that police the citizens of Kasnia. Team Kidnapping pursues Per Degaton while Team Robot investigates the technology behind the Ultron-like robots. After a successful kidnapping and a disturbing revelation about Ray's past, the team checks the timeline to see the effect of kidnapping Per Degaton. We learn Kend

As the show opens, we witness Cronos boarding the Waverider and find out the reason Ray, Kendra and Sara were left behind in 1958. For reasons yet to be determined, Cronos has sent the remainder of the team into a free fall through time and kidnapped Snart. When our stranded heroes are not rescued within 10 hours of the Waverider's mysterious disappearance, Kendra and Sara begin to lose hope and decide to leave Harmony Falls. After 10 months, Sara has lost all hope of being rescued and leaves Ray and Kendra to find a place where she belongs. Meanwhile, Rip manages to reboot Gideon and return to the closest point in time after Cronos sabotaged the navigation system: 1960. Just before Ray can propose to Kendra, the beacon he built to signal the Waverider comes online and hails the Waverider. Cronos and Snart are getting to know one another when a UFO sighting in 1960 announces the presence of the rest of the team. It seems everyone is now off to Nanda Parbat to "rescue" Sara while Cronos follows with the intent

It's time for a little Back to the Future with some drag racing, rock and roll, ice cream parlors and good ole creature feature scares! Our team lands in 1958, thanks to the new information from Captain Baxter last week, and have to try to fit in to the social standards of the times. Finding it especially difficult are Jax, Kendra and Sara, due to the racial and female limitations of the times. They discover that Savage is playing doctor, creating hawk like creatures to build an army, and must figure out how to stop him, but things do not go their way, as Jax is caught and subjected to his experiments.  

As Rip Hunter struggles to find a lead on Vandal Savage, the Waverider receives a distress signal from another time master. The team suspects IT'S A TRAP! But Rip insists they go to Captain Baxter's rescue to recover a time drive and update Gideon's software. When Rip, Jax and Rory are captured by time pirates, it's up to Space Ranger Stein to save the day. Meanwhile on the Waverider, Snart and Sara deal with the fallout of encountering time pirates while Ray and Kendra work to keep them alive.  After receiving some unsettling news, Rory decides to make a deal with the time pirates and ultimately betrays the team. Snart chooses an unexpected side and has to deal with the consequences of his actions in the final scenes of this gripping episode.

No sooner did we get left hanging last week on who is that Green Arrow, this episode picks it right back up and gives us answers! Our band of heroes find themselves in a burning Star City in the year 2046, with a damaged spaceship, and caught in the middle of what looks like a gang war. At first they try to hide, but in seeing the Green Arrow under fire, Sara runs to his aid and most of the team follows. Once they gain his trust, he returns the help by leading them through the embattled city to find the parts they need to fix the ship. Which, leads them to a much older, battered, and one armed Oliver Queen.

In the conclusion to the Russian cold war saga, the fragmented team does their best to survive in a gulag while the others work out a plan to rescue them.  Rip worries Dr. Stein will not be able to withhold secrets until the team is able to rescue him, so he gives Sara a side mission to kill Dr. Stein if the plan fails. Meanwhile, Captain Cold infiltrates the prison to rescue Heatwave and (maybe) Ray. When things go sideways, Jax and Kendra come to the rescue while Rip tracks down Savage. In the end, the team saves Dr. Stein with explosive consequences. Chronos shows up once again and knocks our team into the year 2046.  

In this week's episode, our band of heroes travel back to the 80's in pursuit of Vandal Savage.  After breaking into the Pentagon, our team quickly falls apart as things begin to take a turn for the worse. Using the intel they have managed to gather, the team tracks Vandal Savage to Russia where his team of scientists are trying to create a Soviet Firestorm. We are introduced to a new foe, Valentina Vostok, the nuclear physicist working to create the Soviet Firestorm matrix. In our first mission, Ray Palmer and Leonard Snart try to seduce Vostok in an attempt to learn about her top secret research. When they fail, Dr. Stein accompanies them to the research facility with dire consequences for the team. In a side mission, Rip, Heatwave and Jackson investigate the appearance of Chronos in the timeline which leads to a surprising revelation. Meanwhile, Sara and Kendra remain on the ship to tame their inner warriors.

The team realizes they cannot kill Savage, so instead decide to go after his assets and try to weaken him that way. The team encounters Savage's devoted followers while recovering Carter's body. Captain Cold has his own agenda, taking Heatwave and Jax to steal the very emerald his dad was caught stealing, which led to his imprisonment and becoming an angry, abusive father. Through his endeavors to save his father, we learn more about preserving the timeline. Dr. Stein and Ray, while finding a way to save Kendra's life, also have to deal with their differences.

In this second part of the pilot, the team confronts Vandal Savage at a secret weapons auction. Dr. Stein accidentally reveals the team "in this era" and they now have to deal with the repercussions. Dr. Stein, Jackson, and Sara go to visit Dr. Stein as his younger self in college to try to borrow a device he designed that controls alpha particles. This of course does not go according to plan, and they now have to trick his younger self and not mess up the timeline any further...

Flash and Harley here, the Wonder Twins, with our initial reactions and first stab at covering the new DC show Legends of Tomorrow. This was originally included in a three show roundup podcast, so we cut out just the Legends segment to make it our first official episode for the new show. This first podcast is a trial run and not full length, but we will expand our discussion starting in Episode 2. The pilot picks up pretty soon after the events in Arrow and Flash where our characters were first introduced, and find themselves gathered together by Rip Hunter, a time master from the future. He explains to them that Vandal Savage is a dangerous immortal who seeks to take over the world by destroying it first, so he has recruited them to travel through time to help stop him before that happens.
