Legends of Tomorrow 1.16

Legendary

- far from my favorite episode; worked too hard to wrap everything up nice & neat; honestly wasn't sure what to expect going in; things just got too convenient and fluid
- don't understand how something (destroying the meteors) was supposed to be happening in three different time periods simultaneously
- the episode opens with Rip ditching the remaining members of the team; Carter and Kendra are captives of Vandal Savage; Captain Cold is dead; Heat Wave, White Canary, Ray Palmer, Dr. Stein, and Jackson get dropped in May 2016 and for a short while return to their lives
- Soon they get back together and using a device created by Stein and Palmer they get Rip to return to 2016
- Meanwhile Kendra has left a message for them in a helmet (which made me think at first that the character wearing it was Sgt Rock) just before she gets captured by Vandal Savage; no mention of how she escaped
- The message tells them to look in St. Lo, France in 1944; they do and also manage to free the Hawks
- The rest of the episode is about stopping Vandal Savage once and for all; he has a plan which uses the 3 meteors which came from Thanagar and crashed in Egypt in 1700 BC; he wants to turn the clock back to 1700 BC and start things all over again; too bad for him they defeat and kill him in 3 different time periods: 1975, 1955, and 2021; it was the meteors that gave Vandal Savage and the Hawks their powers and when he tries blowing them up he becomes mortal or killable once again
- the ending, the very ending, with Rex Tyler aka Hourman is enough to make me want to come back for more but the ending of the season was not satisfying, by ending I mean the last 3-4 episodes; the last episode I really enjoyed was Last Refuge (12) although there were some parts from Leviathan (13) that I liked but not how it ended or how the rest of the season played out
