What I’m Watching: Legends of Tomorrow

Legends of Tomorrow: Season 7, Episode 6 “Deus Ex Latrina” (B)

Naturally the legends would end up not where they were planning to but instead in 1986 literally hours before Chernobyl, and then they would go ahead and warn people so that one of the most historically significant events didn’t happen at all in the way it was supposed to. I did appreciate the renewed focus on Bishop and how he hunted the legends to get revenge for them abducting him, only to find out that he had been replaced with a robot version of himself so that he could serve out his purpose as a time master with a militant Gideon keeping him in line. Assistant Ava was doing a pretty good job of that before she got jettisoned into the temporal zone, and now Bishop was able to show that he didn’t need dignity and eject out of the Wave Rider on a toilet just in time to land on the legends as they were about to finally use the time machine to escape their confinement. It will be fun to see him join forces with them as he explains what he has learned to be true, and it’s convenient that another perfectly good and functional Wave Rider exists out there for them to eventually retake. The human Gideon’s newfound relationship with Gary is an interesting development, one I would consider positive since it means that Gary isn’t obsessing about Nate’s relationship with Zari, something he’s being awfully public about rather than just discussing directly and openly with her.
