Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Arrowverse catchup, this time looking at Legends of Tomorrow season 4 episode 3, Dancing Queen. This time the team went to 1970s London at the height of Punk Rock where a new band had appeared in the timeline with one being some sort of magical creature. Now I want to say this episode was fine and had its good moments but I liked it a lot less than the first two episodes. I don’t know if my Britishness kicked in subconsciously to take some umbrage with them portraying the Queen in such a manner, but the whole story didn’t really hook me all that much. It was strange because I love Ray and thought it was great to see him get a bit more screen time in this episode.

The creature being a shape shifter was less interesting than the monsters before too. They set the bar high with the first two so a shape shifter actually ended up feeling a bit ordinary. They should have made more of that living plant that Gary found, that looked more entertaining (and I am loving the Nate-Gary duo they have going on). I didn’t really like how they ended up with her looking like Amaya. Clearly the writers wanted the actor back and they couldn’t excuse pulling her out of her ever-so-important timeline yet again. The whole thing seems a bit unnecessary, especially how they are clearly going to do a whole load of Nate drama which I don’t really need. Plus, if he stopped the shape shifting ability, why didn’t it just go back to its original form?

In saying that, it was nice to see Constantine get a it more character development by seeing his parents. The whole reveal about his mother dying I child birth and his father never forgiving him for it was both dark and heart breaking. It explains his attitude issues quite a lot. They sprinkled the sweetness and sadness with some laughs nicely as John fell victim to the ball-kick paradox which has to be the greatest paradox ever seen on television. The dog stealing was fun too and like I said this episode wasn’t bad. It just wasn’t as good as the first two episodes and therefore the worst episode of the season so far.

DD Rating: 5.75/10
