Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 8
Since these crossovers have become an annual affair, the bar gets raised for each episode. They’re measured against not only prior episodes of their own series, but against prior crossovers as well. So let’s get right to the point.
This was the best episode of Legends of Tomorrow yet, in the best DC TV crossover to date.
Some of this is a quirk of the schedule: as the last episode in the crossover, it’s where most of the payoff for the prior three hours of television came. This got the big fun climactic fight where everyone powered up and the camera just kept spinning to different heroes. This also got the emotional payoffs to stories that have been building – the victory, the wedding(s), the death. But the death is why this isn’t just a good episode of the crossover, it’s a great Legends ep too.
I’ll confess that I didn’t see Victor Garber going out like that. We’ve known he was leaving for a little while now, but I fully expected them to let him go off and be a zayde for a little while and pop back in when the gang needed something transmuted. Instead, they killed him, and they gave him a hell of an episode to leave on. First, he’s mortally wounded trying to help the Earth-1 heroes (and Alex) escape Earth-X. Then he gets to say goodbye to Jax, in what was the most emotional scene of the series yet. This is not a show prone to nuance, but I feel like Garber and Franz Drameh did a wonderful job of selling it without blubbering or going too over the top. The sorrow was believably real, and I certainly felt it at Stately Dandy Manor.
Speaking of wonderful jobs, we should send some love to the effects team for this crossover. It was a week full of great shots and amazing fights, from the wedding in Supergirl to the first Nazi throwdown in Arrow to the Red Tornado fight in Flash. But the last fight, where the camera just kept swirling from beat to beat, from Sara beating the pants off of a horde of Nazis, to Flash and Thawne, to the two Olivers on the car, to the Supergirls and the Waverider dogfight, everything looked fantastic.
There’s been a lot of talk about normalizing Nazis lately, and definitely some deserved consternation about the show’s use of Nazi imagery. The big takeaway from the real-world ball dropping by The Paper of Record on this subject is that the most effective way to address them is by making sure that their victims are centered. That was certainly the case here.
