Finale: DC's Legends of Tomorrow "Legendary"

On Thursday, freshman show "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" wrapped up its first season with the aptly named title, "Legendary". While there's five episodes that I have yet to watch, due to convenience of DVR, the season finale was both accessible and easily the best episode of the entire season.


Spoilers....






I won't bore you with a long-winded review. The Internet is replete with reviews that provide a comprehensive breakdown already. Instead here's what I consider highlights:

• Heatwave's arc - Heatwave went from being the dumb, pyromaniac muscle to a gruff, salt-of-earth guy whose not afraid to get his hands dirty (not to mention burn things!). Mic went from being the odd man out to being a core member of the team. That's saying something. Honestly, don't think any character experienced as much development this season.
• The acknowledgement that events in Arrow are of upmost importance and fixed in time. Rip revealing that the Lance tragedy would have been worse if Sara was there.
• Watching the three different groups of characters (Heatwave/Atom, Firestorm/White Canary, and Hawks/Rip) defeat Vandal Savage in three different time periods.
• Let me reiterate: I absolutely loved the plot point where three different groups of time travelers defeat an immortal during three different time periods!
• How close one of those time periods was to the events of a prior episode.
• With the Time Masters are unable to use their device to scan the time-stream and enforce order as they like, I'm looking forward to the Wild West feeling of the Legends travelling through time trying to maintain temporal stability. Even Rip will be out of his element!
• Atom shrinking something!
• Firestorm transmuting objects for the first and second time!
• The Ray-Heatwave duo. Was not expecting that buddy pairing. Should be interesting to watch it unfold.
• Rex Tyler, aka Hourman, appearing at the end! While mentioning the Justice Society of America! Could the JSA be the 'Justice' that the Flash co-founds?
• More hints of Thanagar. Love the interplay between the meteors, Savage, and the Hawks. Looking forward to the enfolding saga of the Thanagarian Invasion plotline.

Needless to say, I eagerly await the fall premeire!
