DC's Legends of Tomorrow (TV Series) Abominations (2016) User Reviews

Best episode of the show so far

[saaampe · 9/10 · 4 November 2016]

Best episode of the show to this point and Jefferson Jackson is the star. I have never been emotionally touched by this show previously, except during the death of Snart. This episode however took me down the feels-train. The scene when Jefferson was talking to the slaves and when they started to sing was an emotional punch in my face, unlike the rest of the show. Don't get me wrong, I do like Legends, but this episode was something special.

The zombies were great and the episode was really well balanced with talking, fighting and character development.

Overall a great episode and I really look forward to the rest of the season.

Final verdict 9.4/10

Legends vs The Walking Dead

[ThomasDrufke · 8/10 · 4 November 2016]

For so long I have been hoping for this show to find its way. I wasn't entirely sure how it was going to do that, however, especially with Vandal Savage's presence overtaking a lot of the fun ideas the first season presented. But with him gone and a much better team overall this year, Legends is finally beginning to feel like the mindlessly entertaining show we all had hoped for when they announced it nearly two years ago.

Tonight saw 3 separate pairings that were executed surprisingly well, including Ray & Stein, Jax & Vixen, and Sara & Nate. Perhaps more so than any other Legends episode, this one took its time and ended up flowing very well. Of course, the episode was fronted by the promise that zombies would be taking over Confederate Civil War Zombies. That was more than enough for me to get amped. And as goofy as that premise may seem, the show took did a good job of balancing the craziness with a nice underlying message. Plus, the fact that this episode came Halloween week made it all the more fitting.

Being that it's Civil War era, Jax and Vixen had a difficult time getting around without getting questioned or beaten, but this also served as a nice time for both of them to see the horrors of not only this time period, but the lesson that sometimes you can and should change history. I was surprised the CW tackled such a huge issue as slavery in an episode, but I found most of that material to be fittingly chilling. Well done CW, well done.

Sara and Nate had to confront Ulyssses S. Grant about the horrors him and his soldiers were facing. It was definitely the least memorable of the 3 stories, but Sara had a necessary leadership arc with helpful advice from Grant. As well as Nate having to do another heroic and gutsy thing taking down a bunch of zombies and in turn winning the battle. It's also just fun to see different combinations of Legends share scenes together as Sara and Nate did tonight.

Last but not least was the most Halloween-ish thing about the episode as Ray & Stein were forced to deal with a zombified Mick inside the Waverider. While it wasn't clear exactly how that situation resolved so quickly, the very fact that this entire sequence felt like an installment in the Alien franchise, made it worth while. For me, this was the most fun Legends has been since they went to future Star City last season. Let's just hope they can continue this once the Legion of Doom finally make their way on the show officially.

+Zombies on Legends. Count me in.

+3 separate arcs each worked in their own way

+Some chilling slave material

+Grant's advice to Sara

+Alien on the Waverider

8.6/10

A great emotional episode

[niky-93201 · 9/10 · 4 November 2016]

This episode was great entertaining, but not because of zombies, because of that time period and Jefferson feelings about ethnic discrimination and Sara's feelings about responsibility of being a captain. Especially when all of the team got separated and got in to a though situation, every character showed that there is a hope in every situation. Even professor Stein's fear of zombies played a role in the episode because he needed to overcome his fear of zombies. This episode showed that everyone needs to overcome their fear to accomplish their goals. So basically this episode was about overcoming fear and granting a hope to each others future.

Really this episode got the vibes of greatness.

Wow...

The best episode of Legends so far this season. The best ever acting in any Legends episode by Franz Drameh. And the best ever acting by Victor Garber in any Legends episode! Martin Stein being comforted by Ray as he was scared of zombies, wow... And even more wow at Martin trying to get Jax to open up about his civil war experience memories. And also how scared he was ( Stein) when he saw Mick being turned into a zombie! Mr.Garber is ripening like a good wine and Legends is his best ever TV show performance since Alias! I wish he could get the Emmy nomination next year, he would have deserved this hands down! I was hardly ever shaking during some of the Legends episode in a way I did this time. Still mesmerized by it.

Weakest show all season with plot holes galore.

[hopszilla · 5/10 · 4 November 2016]

This show is best when it is a zany, fun, romp through time but this week they took a serious turn and a downright corny one as well.

The Show starts with a "Time Pirate", I guess just made up for this show's ridiculous plot, who crash lands a pod and for what reason I don't know becomes a zombie and starts infecting Civil War troops.

Zombies. Corny and they are kind of not the hot thing anymore. Walking Dead is doing fine but aside from that the genre is waning big time.

They have Nate and Sarah talk General Grant into fighting zombies and she starts barking out orders to Union troops who hop to her commands. This is so unrealistic. Women held respect as Mothers and home makers back then no man much less a top General would take orders from her or let his troops do so.

Then we get to the plantation and Vixxen with Jackson getting important papers and dealing with witnessing slavery. This was stereotypical stuff where evil dumb hicks whip slaves and brutalize them. I liked where Jackson stood up as a leader and refused to help to preserve the timeline. That showed great sacrifice but the writers throw it all away for a feel good ending where he goes against his word and helps them anyway wrecking the timeline which suddenly doesn't matter. He burns down the Mansion not knowing if there are any innocents or children in there too. My hero.

Dr. Martin, Ray and Nick are on the ship with Nick a Zombie. Just corny, lame stuff. Nick knocks out Ray and is a zombie but doesn't touch him or harm him as that makes sense right? Guess he wasn't hungry.

At the end General Grant addresses Sarah as "Captain Sarah" which would never happen no matter how she helped the war effort. General Grant also treats the freed slaves like honored guests. Again, historical accuracy isn't this show's strong suit.

Nick gives Ray the Cold Raygun which I thought was destroyed with Captain Cold but whatever. Ray is a genius scientist, on a highly advanced ship, but can't create another suit and has to be a lame Captain Cold knockoff now.

Bad show seemingly written by a liberal with fantasies looking for a pat on the back. Get back to zany fun and at least somewhat historically accurate stories please. Your agenda has been put forward we get it.
