"Out of Time" is the first episode of the second season of the American science fiction superhero television series Legends of Tomorrow, based on DC Comics, aired on The CW on October 13, 2016. The episode was directed by Dermott Downs and has a story by Greg Berlanti and Chris Fedak and a script by Marc Guggenheim and Phil Klemmer.
Plot
In 2016, historian Nate Heywood enlists Mayor Oliver Queen's help in locating the Waverider after it was caught in a nuclear blast in 1942. They find the ship submerged with only Mick aboard in stasis, who reveals what happened after being revived. Rip's team—Mick, Ray, Sara, Jax, and Martin—traveled through time dealing with "aberrations" in history. They also encountered Justice Society of America (JSA) member Rex Tyler, who warned them not to travel to 1942 before vanishing. After learning that a nuclear bomb would be detonated in New York City in 1942, the Legends ignored the warning and discovered Damien Darhk, working with the Nazis, was behind the attack.
Sara attempted to kill Darhk to avenge Laurel, but Darhk escaped and launched his atomic bomb toward New York from a U-boat. Rip scattered the team throughout time, except for the injured Mick, to save their lives while he intercepted the bomb with the Waverider. In the present, Mick and Nate use the Waverider to travel through time and rescue everyone, but fail to locate Rip. After preventing the Nazis from obtaining a nuclear bomb in 1942, the team is confronted by the JSA. Meanwhile, Darhk is shown to be working with Eobard Thawne.
Production
The second season of Legends of Tomorrow was announced on March 11, 2016.[1] "Out of Time" stars Victor Garber, Brandon Routh, Arthur Darvill, Caity Lotz, Franz Drameh, Amy Pemberton, and Dominic Purcell, who returned from the previous season as Martin Stein, Ray Palmer, Rip Hunter, Sara Lance, Jefferson Jackson, Gideon, and Mick Rory, respectively.[2][3] Matt Letscher, Maisie Richardson-Sellers and Nick Zano are also credited in main roles for the episode, playing Eobard Thawne,[4] from The Flash,[4] Amaya Jiwe,[5] and Nate Heywood, respectively.[6] Additionally appearing are Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk and Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen, both from Arrow, as well as John Rubinstein as Albert Einstein, Matthew MacCaull as Commander Steel, Kwesi Ameyaw as Dr. Mid-Nite, and Sarah Grey as Stargirl.[7]
Phil Klemmer stated that the season premiere "will very much be a new pilot with new good guys, new bad guys, new stakes, new dynamics, new goals. The team will basically have to find a new purpose. Once you save the world, what do you do then?... The fact that the world was in peril sort of forced our team to fall into its own dysfunctional version of lockstep. Season two, they're no longer going to be hunted by Time Masters. They're no longer going to be burdened with having to save the world. It's no longer going to be about saving Miranda and Jonas. The interesting thing about season two is I think it's going to have a much, much different tone because our Legends are going to have a totally different purpose. They're actually going to have a totally different constitution. There will be new faces and new everything."[8]
Reception
The episode received generally good reviews, with much praise directed at it as the beginning as a new beginning for the characters and plot. Speaking to the introduction of Nick Zano's character, Carissa Pavlica of TV Fanatic said "The introduction of Nate Heywood felt natural to the story that was being told. It's pretty easy to imagine the Legends would somehow get into a predicament that would leave them stranded in time and in need of rescue."[9] Jesse Schedeen of IGN said "All signs point to Legends of Tomorrow being a stronger series in its second season. The show has eliminated its lesser characters and taken on a lighter, more swashbuckling tone. This episode makes great use of its various Flash and Arrow guest stars, which bodes well as the show prepares to dive even deeper into DC lore this year"[10] and Mike Cecchini of Den of Geek said "Basically, a missing character or two aside, everything you liked about Legends of Tomorrow season one is back for the season premiere, but funnier, more comfortable and confident, and in some cases, bigger and better. The interior of the Waverider has been given a noticeable overhaul, and the show looks decidedly less claustrophobic than it did last year."[11] Jen Neal of SciFiNow considered the episode to not be one of the series' "weakest" but also thought that the show "still has a lot to achieve"[12] Jennifer Knutson of Tell Tale TV rated the episode 3 and a half stars, saying about it that the premiere "is a strong set up for the season. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow still has some kinks to work out, but I am willing to go along for the ride this season."[13]
