Legends has been on a great run recently, putting out high quality episodes compared to other seasons. The consistency of this season so far has been superior to season 1 & 2. And this week was no exception, as the Legends tackle Gorilla Grodd and the Vietnam war.
With Sara still KO'd from last week, the team decide to fix an inacranism, in which they decide on one from the Vietnam war. The team was split into thirds this week: Ray, Zari and Amaya focus on Grodd, Mick and Nate run into Mick's father, while Jax (and Stein) seeks out to discover his use to the team without powers.
I really enjoyed Mick's arc of this episode. We've never really had any character development for Mick, so seeing him meet a younger version of his father who makes him change how he viewed his father growing up and how he views himself for murdering his family. We see an emotional side of Mick that we haven't really seen before, so it was a nice change of pace.
Jax's arc involves him saving the presidents life by himself, and discovering that he has use to the team apart from just being firestorm. Still not a fan of them breaking firestorm up, and hoping that they change their minds.
Ray, Zari and Amaya had to deal with fixing the inacranism of Grodd being in Vietnam, which wasn't easy. Grodd has created his own army consisting of members from both the Viet Cong, and the US army. Amaya tries her best to save Grodd, but in the end his lust for power was too strong. At the end of the episode, we find out that Darhk was teleported Grodd to his time, and it seems like they're teaming up. With each new episode the more it seems like Darhk will be around for the long haul. I'm not a fan of this at all, Darhk has been a serviceable villain throughout the Arrowverse, but I'm over him now. Time to move on.
Another solid episode for Legends, hope it continues.
8.6/10
