DC’s Legends of Tomorrow Episode 510: “The Great British Fake Off”

After watching a great episode of Batwoman and a horrible episode of The Flash, I was so happy that we ended this week’s Arrowverse tour with DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. This show always puts a smile on my face and has me laughing until I’m clutching my stomach out of happy pain.

That said, this episode gets kind of heavy as it deals with the loss of Behrad, who I’m pretty sure is going to return in true Legends fashion. It still hurts, nonetheless, because despite being a new character, Behrad has definitely grown on me, as has this new sassy version of Zari.

Speaking of Zari, she joins John Constantine on a misadventure to find the last Loom of Fate. Charlie reveals that she had given this ring to one of her sisters to ensure that it would be hidden in an impossible place. She did not, of course, anticipate desperately needing it eventually. But hey, then we wouldn’t have gotten this Constantine/Zari team-up. I must say I am totally shipping as a couple now. Sorry, Nate.

With the help of the Legends, Constantine attempts to acquire the ring, and he’s almost successful. But before he or Zari can grab it when it appears, Sara has a dizzy spell and faints, breaking the circle. (Side note: Sara is experiencing the repercussions of being hit by Atropos, another one of Charlie’s sisters.)

While trying to grab the ring, Zari and Constantine fall through a portal that lands them in the house, but in a different time. He had tethered the ring to the house, but it just caused them to travel back in time to when the house was a hostel of sorts. Unfortunately, a series of Encores start showing up at the hostel, everyone from Bonnie and Clyde to Jack the Ripper, and they’re all after the ring as well.

After some fighting, zapping, and heroism from both Constatine and Zari, they finally do acquire the ring. And ALMOST SHARE A KISS! Ugh, I was so here for that happening.

They’re interrupted by the Legends, who figured out where they were there thanks to Ava’s trip to Hell to talk to Astra, who is now helping them. It looks like everyone got screwed over in the process, but there is nothing to do but to work together to defeat the common enemy.

All in all, Legends gives us a lot to laugh about this week, and renews me with hope that Behrad may soon come back. They have all the pieces of the puzzle, so here’s to hoping something magical happens.

Also: Zari and Constantine. Shall we call them #ZaraCo or #CoZa, or #ZaranTine? Whatever we decide, we just need to see this couple happen.

Grade: B+

And that’s it for the Arrowverse shows this week! While it’s obvious I was completely disappointed with The Flash, I’m really banking on Batwoman from here on out. I’m hoping it gives us what we need until whenever the Arrowverse returns for its next season.

Please keep the Easter eggs coming, Batwoman! And Legends, never stop with the shenanigans. As long as we have that, we don’t need anything from The Flash.
