(Whoops, is that a spoiler? Nah, you figured that part out already, didn’t you?) Having rewritten reality again, John Deegan (Jeremy Davies) narrates over the episode’s opening credits. In this new world of...

In a lot of ways, the second part of the crossover serves as a backdoor pilot for next year’s upcoming new DC Arrowverse spinoff. No matter, it works well enough and even makes me want to watch that show. Barry Allen and Oliver Queen are still stuck in each...

Last year’s Crisis on Earth-X was a lot of fun and set a high bar for this one to clear. Fortunately, the start seems promising. In comparison to the last crossover, Elseworlds is slightly scaled back,...

However, the crossover part of that...

Fortunately, with annoying villain Vandal Savage now out of the picture (hopefully for good, though with a time travel show that’s never guaranteed), the second season should be free to explore some new ideas. The end of Season 1...

It’s also undoubtedly going to be the most difficult sell. Unlike ‘The Flash’ (and to a lesser extent ‘Arrow’), ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ isn’t fronted by an individual recognizable superhero whose...
