![]() Due to the multiple "time anachronisms" they created, the Legends fought P.T. This year, the heroes had to fix time itself, which they had broken with their ineptitude. The Legion of Doom arc during Season 2 cemented the Legends as cosmic screw-ups who manage to save the day against all logic, but in Season 3, the series has truly cut loose by becoming relentlessly bizarre - and incredibly fun. ![]() Related: Legends of Tomorrow Is Now The Best Arrowverse ShowAs the third season comes to a close, Legends has embraced their "anything goes" mantra with gusto. What's more, with Sara Lance/White Canary, Ray Palmer/The Atom, and Mick Rory/Heatwave leading a motley crew including Amaya Jiwe/Vixen, Nate Heywood/Steel, Wally West/Kid Flash, and soon, John Constantine, they had a troupe of characters eccentric enough to roll with whatever lunacy comes along. In the second season, the series' braintrust began to realize the strength of Legends lies in how they can basically do anything and go anywhere. This show is just weird, and gloriously so.Originally a gathering of the misfit secondary characters the Arrowverse had accumulated, Legends began as a sprawling time-travel adventure that allowed the producers to expand and explore the various corners of their TV Multiverse. While this moment is a knee-slapper and certainly ranks high among the strangest things ever seen on The CW's superhero show, it's par for the course on Legends of Tomorrow. Later, the Legends urged Barry Obama to use his full name, Barack. This led to the time-traveling heroes arriving to rescue the future President ( "We're on Obamacare"), with Ray Palmer urging Obama to "Run, Barry, run!" in a wink to The Flash. +Fun change of pace +Sentient Gorilla chaos +Nice having Harry back -Jesse & Wally's melodramatic material 8.On this week's episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow, Gorilla Grodd tried to murder a young Barack Obama in 1979. And yes, I do believe it will be at the hands of Caitlin herself. On a side note, purely by hearing Julian's claims to save Caitlin from becoming Killer Frost will certainly mean his death by season's end. But it'll sure as heck to be hard to beat that arena battle between Solovar (deep cut DC character) and Flash. Hopefully next week's conclusion will be even better. For now, the team believes saving Harry and keeping Grodd at Earth-2 would secure another news headline but if the after credits scene and title of the next episode are any indication, that's not to be. ![]() These two brought the best out of one another last season, but that wasn't the case tonight. I understand Jesse doesn't have any reason to be in a good mood with her father being kept by a massive gorilla, but a few more smiles would have been nice. Not exactly the way I hoped these two would spend their time without Barry in charge. Scratch that, they actually spent the entirety of the night moping around STAR Labs because they haven't been able to progress their relationship. Meanwhile in Central City, Jesse & Wally reunited and had fun taking down criminals and speeding across the city as a new power couple. I still think the best Grodd CG was used last season, but I think creating an entire city deserves some recognition as well. They tip toed around as much as possible by keeping Team Flash trapped in a cell for most of the episode and even using Grodd's telepathic abilities through Harry to keep the amount of CGI frames low. With the budget of a CW superhero show, I came in with relatively low expectations for what Gorilla City may look like, but I wasn't disappointed. And much like last year's trip, this episode has the benefit of being so drastically different from anything we've seen thus far on the show. Hopefully it doesn't go the way the two part Earth-2 episode did last year with the second half being a huge letdown. A mixture of Planet of the Apes and Indiana Jones, 'Attack on Gorilla City' was a nice first part of two. Who doesn't love these one-off episodes of Flash with Gorilla Grodd? We all know the show will never have the budget to pull off a full season of Grodd madness so I'm always going to cherish the episodes that we get of the sentient primate.
