![]() ![]() Jes Macallan’s reaction to seeing her future daughter is stunning, one of the best bits of acting this show has ever seen, and Tala Ashe proves once again her brilliance showing Zari’s discomfort at going back to a pre-hero life. If you made it through them without getting a little misty, congratulations for not being a catastrophe because the world is a nightmare and your kids don’t let you sleep ever, I guess. I was, to put it mildly, a disaster during these flashes. Astra runs for Congress (I think – I believe she spent too much time in Hell to be eligible for the Presidency) in 2040, and Sara and Ava have a daughter. But Gwyn’s reward is he gets to go live on a Welsh sheep farm, alone, for the rest of his life. Behrad becomes a musician, and his delight at getting a copy of his own record is a highlight. This has implications for Nate, as far as I can tell, because his future doesn’t involve the totem, but it does have him writing a book about his time travel adventures with an absolutely bitchin professor goatee. But nowhere in her future clips does she see the totem on. Zari gets to be a tycoon, inventing “audible lipstick” whatever the hell that is, and becoming a titan in the cosmetics industry. ![]() Those four aforementioned times I got sad came, in order, at Zari’s future Nate’s future Behrad’s future and Gwyn’s future. Even though I can comfortably say Legends of Tomorrow is better now than it’s ever been, it was still pretty great before, and the chemistry this cast has had since it made the switch to a comedy has been undeniable, even through the seven different iterations. Here it was just a reminder of all the things we’ve lost as this show rolled on. Even the 100th episode was triumphant in its reminiscence. This is where it started to feel like a finale – this kind of melancholic introspection is very abnormal for this series, the superhero show most impacted by marijuana legalization. This kicks off a chat among the team about what retirement might look like, and a quick run through of all the people who have left the show I mean the team since it started. And to convince them to take the deal, each member of the team gets a glimpse of their future. From there, Goodeon and Gary negotiate safe passage for the team: they’ll each retire back to their correct timelines, while Goodeon and Gary stay on as Captain and Captain’s boyfriend of the Waverider. They invoke Gideon’s protocol 276, her inherent self-preservation instinct, to protect all of them – if EG airlocks them all, she’ll catch her embodied form too, so she can’t do that. The gang has to turn Evil Gideon back on, to reactivate sickbay and help save Goodeon (aah? AAH?). The episode is mostly structured like a finale. ![]()
