Hello and welcome to another edition of Legends of Tomorrow catchup, this time with season 3 episode 13, No Country for Old Dads.

“I am gonna kick my ass”. This was just one of many absolutely golden lines that came from Damien Darhk this episode and he was definitely the stand-out. He is so much fun and he is one of my favourite villains at this point. I love his relationship with Nora and how they continue to develop it (and how he does truly care and love her) and not taking the easier route of him (at least not at the moment) being dismissive and wanting power from Mallus instead of her. Neil McDonough is brilliant as are the writers who have took him to soaring new heights since plucking him from Arrow. What makes him a great villain though is as much as you love him, he still had me calling him very unkind things when he shot that scientist. They don’t make you get on board with the evil things he does, instead they make you feel even worse about them because he gets you with his charm and charisma before murdering someone out of nowhere.

I do see the seeds being planted for Nora to be turned to the side of good, presumably by Ray. What I would love though is for Damien to go against Mallus also. There is no way he can fully redeemed and I wouldn’t want him to be as it would make very little sense, but I hope he never sides with Mallus over his daughter. I could actually see him making a sacrifice play down the line to save his daughter from Mallus in the end. They have the chance to give him a strong permanent end there so let’s see what they do with it.

Ray was absolutely brilliant as always and with this revolving cast that the show has, just as you think one of them hasn’t done much in a while they get a great chance to shine like Ray did here. We also had Wally join the team and he has already shown off more personality than he ever did in Flash. This is what the show has done so well before (giving characters from other shows room to grow and develop) so hopefully this happens to Wally here. They just need to be careful with his powers as I don’t want to have to keep asking why Wally didn’t just run in and do something like he did today. He needs to make it up with Amiah though as that was one hell of an awkward situation he got himself into.

It was always a joy to see Grodd back too. You had to feel bad for Director Bennett though: I never liked the guy but I wouldn’t wish death by Grodd on him. And my prediction about the secret Ava file…she is either an anachronism or Rip knows that she will die in the near future. Am I right or waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off? I guess I’ll just have to keep watching to find out.
