What To Watch: ‘DC’s Legends’ Encounter Aliens, ...DC’s Legends of TomorrowSEASON PREMIERE CW 8/7c
After defeating the Fates last season, the Legends are now facing a bigger threat than ever: aliens. Admittedly it’s a little out of their purview, but since Sara Lance, captain of the Waverider, got abducted in the season 5 finale, they don’t really have a choice but figure it out. Co-captain Ava Sharpe (Jes Macallan), who’s also Sara’s girlfriend, takes Sara being missing especially hard. As she tries to manage her team of misfits, Ava will stop at nothing to find her lost love. Meanwhile, everyone’s coming up with their own wacky ideas on how to find Sara, and some of them may just be crazy enough to work. The Legends this season include (since the membership changed a lot last season), in addition to Sara and Ava, historian and steel-powered Nate Heywood (Nick Zano), fire-happy Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell), the magical John Constantine (Matt Ryan) – now with his soul back, air-totem siblings Zari (Tala Ashe) and Behrad (Shayan Sobhian) Tarazi, and the newly human Astra Logue (Olivia Swann). As usual, Gary’s (Adam Tsekhman) not that far behind, and a newcomer may be the perfect candidate to join the Legends – a gun-totin Texan named Spooner (Lisseth Chavez) who may be able to help the team find Sara.
