White Knights
- the team leaves the 1970s and lands in 1985; first stop is the Pentagon; they steal some doucuments but blow their cover in the process; Hawkwoman goes feral momentarily; they make it out intact; the documents indicate that Vandal Savage is now in the Soviet Union so they head there
- In the USSR they discover that Vandal Savage is attempting to build a new Firestorm; they try to steal the key component in Savage's set up; Captain Cold gets away with the nuclear reactor core but Heat Wave, Atom, and Dr. Stein get captured in the process
- two new characters show up who have appeared in DC Comics before although I am not familiar with either of them, aside from what I recently read on Comic Book DB:
- Valentina Vostok - in the show she is working for Savage, his head scientist; in the comics she was Negative Woman of the second iteration of the Doom Patrol (late 70s - late 80s); after losing her powers she became a secret agent and showed up in Vigilante, Checkmate, Suicide Squad, and one issue of Firestorm (1987) in the mid to late 1980s
- Mikhail Arkadin - in the show he is part of the security detachment that is guarding the base that the team infiltrates and one of those who captures Dr. Stein, Heat Wave, and the Atom; in the comics he becomes part of Firestorm around Firestorm 65; was in the story for quite a bit over the net 3 years; issue 85 seems to be his last appearance except for the final issue of the series, 100
- still loving the show; can't wait to see how Vostok and Arkadin get folded into the show; loved the Hawkgirl/White Canary fighting/training scenes; Victor Garber is still great as Dr. Stein but Wentworth Miller is stealing the show as Captain Cold; every scene he is in is lots of fun, love how he rubs people the wrong way and still manages to come out on top
- really enjoying watching this show evolve; I like how things don't return to status quo at the end of each episode
- Rip meeting with another Time Agent in the woods; the return of Chronos (aka Boba Fett); undercover missions in the US (Pentagon) and Soviet Union
