Showing that history can repeat itself, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow has once again saved the best for last, making the final episodes of the season the strongest yet, just as they did one year ago. And with the season finale now less than one week away, let’s hope the show continues to impress.
After Eobard Thawne succeeded in rewriting reality and destroying the Spear of Destiny in order to cement the new status quo, the Waverider crew is forced to break an important rule of time travel: Going back to a point in history you’ve already been to and interacting with that version of yourself. It’s risky, sure, but the alternative of living in a world where the Reverse Flash gets whatever he wants probably doesn’t seem all that enticing for anyone.
I’m also interested in seeing if the death of Vixen (a major occurrence on last night’s episode) can be undone. And why not? They’d just be overwriting a reality that would’ve never existed anyway. But if they’re unable to, does that mean her granddaughter, Arrow’s Vixen, never came into existence? I guess we’ll just have to tune in to find out.
