ALL SCI-FI

[Custer]

I must say I quite enjoyed episode one; it seemed a logical spin-off from The Flash and Arrow. Heatwave seemed the most sensible of the characters, I guess, but hey, they need time to settle down.

"Doctor Who crashes into the DC tv universe" might not be a totally unfair verdict, with Rip Hunter as a renegade Time Lord, but at least his Tardis doesn't look like a police public telephone box.

This is exactly what I see Firestorm do each week on DC Legends of Tomorrow! (Only it's bigger on that show . . . )

But it's still cool that these guys made a miniature version of it.

The team has moved on a bit since the last post, and we are now Firestorm-less. I must say that I thought February 19th's "Here I Go Again" (S03E13) episode was absolutely wonderful, and hilarious at times too.



We start with the team returning from a vital mission to get Napoleon's defeat in 1815 back on timeline-track... so naturally they succeeded by singing "Waterloo" to him, we are told... and they are still wearing the appropriate Abba-style costumes.

Then things get complicated, and Zari is, it seems, caught in a 60-minute "time loop," which inevitably ends in the ship's destruction. She manages to convince Nathaniel Heywood, who tells her just to quickly tell him "Groundhog Day" on future runs through the loop...which she does, after saying "Hedgehog Day" the first time. The various loops get increasingly wild, and we learn a lot about the various team members... would you believe Mick Rory has been secretly typing a science fiction romance novel? And then things get even more complicated, so that Zari encounters the human form of Gideon on a seemingly otherwise deserted Wave Rider. More than that about the plot I shouldn't really say.

Heywood does make reference to "Time's Arrow" from Star Trek: The Next Generation, but this is a whole other thing, feel-good and funny. And then right at the end, we switch to Rip Hunter approaching Kid Flash...

Sneak Peek: Constantine Visits Astra in Hell

https://www.tvguide.com/news/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-sneak-peek-constantine-visits-astra-in-hell/?rss=breakingnews

Astra (Olivia Swann) is back and badder than ever in this exclusive clip from DC's Legends of Tomorrow's upcoming episode. And on a completely unrelated topic, Constantine (Matt Ryan) needs a drink.

Though talking with Astra obviously causes him a lot of pain, that doesn't stop Constantine from offering an olive branch, telling her they don't have to be enemies in this sneak peek at Tuesday's new episode. Astra isn't biting though (unless you count that gruesome piece of meat she's nomming on), at which point Constantine ends his little sojourn into hell.

Poor Ava (Jes Macallan) and Sara (Caity Lotz) won't get much of a post-mission debrief out of him until he gets a drink in him, but at least no one can accuse Sara of not knowing her team — even well enough to finish their sentences! Here's hoping Constantine can turn Astra around, though maybe not considering she doesn't exactly have the best track-record when partnering up with the Legends.

DC's Legends of Tomorrow airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW.
