geebsTV commentary:
Legends of Tomorrow- So it finally makes sense! I was shocked the Legends didn't know who the evil speedster was still. I mean, the board I believe had Wally, Trajectory, and Jessie Quick, but I just figured we just didn't see Thawne from that angle. But they totally had no idea who he was until Martin (who was there at Thawne's original demise) mentioned him, since he had been erased from the timeline when Eddie killed himself.
But we finally find out Eobard's deal is. Malcolm wants to change his past, Damien his future, turns out Eobard is being chased by Black Flash. Which I've already forgotten how last season's Flash ended, but is Black Flash supposed to be Jay's corpse? Interesting though, so the former League of Assassin guys get Eobard to consider them all equal partners since he'd been looking down on them for so long. How? Well, they find a clue to a safety deposit box in one of Rip's teeth, so they try to recover the contents. Its not another piece of the spear, but a device holding Rip's memories.
Then Damien and Malcolm trap themselves in the vault with Eobard until he fesses up where he's always running off to and what's in it for him. He totally freaks out and tells them about how after Barry grabbed him from the time line and let him go, he started getting hunted by Black Flash, who seems to detect the speed force. Eobard acquiesces to their demands, and so they work together to escape and temporarily trap Black Flash in the vault. Turns out Black Flash is like a zombie that can only detect the Speed Force, so running was the opposite of what he should've been doing. By not running, Black Flash couldn't detect him. Wonder if Black Flash will show up on the Flash at some point?
Anyways, the LoD return Rip's memories to him, but with modifications to perhaps make him evil, since he possibly shoots George Washington at the end of the ep?
Other stuff, to try and figure out the device they recovered from the LoD, Stein enlists his daughter. Which again, the rest of the team, except for Sara didn't know he had a daughter? I guess I thought he had revealed the aberration, but maybe that was just to Sara. Jax not knowing is weird. Like I would think he would've sensed the prof acting weird previously and talked to him about it.
But yeah, Mick accidentally spills the beans to Lily, so she's distraught. It takes some doing, but Martin finally lets her know that despite not wanting kids originally he loves having her now. I'm skeptical she doesn't know her dad is half of Firestorm. Like I can't believe in her timeline she wouldn't know. Why did she think her father joined the Waverider? She should be new to the Legends, but she should know them. Or at least some of them. Because her timeline would be one where she was a part of things and thus interacted with some of them.
Also, they stop by Central City, had questions about a speedster, and didn't drop in on Team Flash to check if they could help?
