This episode fittingly and hilariously titled "Mortal Khanbat" is a blissfully entertaining and action packed episode. From the hilarious banter between the characters to the funny and great fight sequences, this episode hit all the right notes for me. Caity Lotz made her directorial debut this episode and did a terrific job. Heck, she even briefly appeared in this episode. For her first time directing, Caity Lotz deserves some credit for pulling double duty even if it only was for a split second.

Right off the bat, this episode picked up right after last week's episode. Astra shortened John Constantine's life span, so that he would not be a burden to her operation. Even though lung cancer is a serious problem, it was quite hilarious how Constantine whipped out a cigarette and smoked away. I knew Constantine would make some kind of bargain with Astra and prolong his life. The character still has a pivotal role in the season and also the actor is a series regular.

Genghis Khan as the encore of the week was quite neat. The reveal of him using the electric scooter and mass producing them was quite fun and entertaining. I laughed immensely when Nate furiously shouted "Khan", while holding the electric scooter above his head. This was just a laugh out loud moment. No other Arrowverse show can pull off what this show does every week. Legends of Tomorrow is unique in its own way.

To conclude, Legends of Tomorrow delivers one of its best episodes of the season and possibly the series. It has everything I could have asked for. This episode has action, humor, great special effects, character development and is entertaining and fast paced from beginning to the end. I'll admit that the last couple of episodes did not quite excite me for the rest of the season, but this episode made me more invested in this season.

The start of this series was pretty iffy. I suppose you could've said that about the very first season too though. I persevered & it ended up great once it moved away from the arrowverse. This ep also started iffy but once I realised it was back to not taking itself too seriously I was delighted. That's what made the last couple of seasons really good fun.

One thing the writers didn't consider (or maybe they did, could've been a short ep) that yes, while Prince Charles was there at the Hong Kong handover, so was Brain Blessed! Not even an undead, immortal Genghis Khan would've stood a chance against him!!

No shortage on action scenes tonight. Ava & the cop comes to mind. And speaking of action, there was some Looks exchanged between Charlie & Zari. I didn't care for B's boo-hoo-hoo attitude but he sure worked that black silk shirt. And the totem-work at the end was impressive.
