Wow, what a finale! “Aruba” is pretty much the culmination of all of the great work Legends of Tomorrow has done this season. The season finale takes off like speeding a bullet from the moment it starts and doesn’t stop until its emotional climax. I had a lot of fun watching it and was even moved at times.
We start in Doomworld, Central City, 2017, where Rip has finally restored full power to the Waverider and is ready to reunite with his team. Well, that is, until he discovers that Thawne shrunk the ship. But Rip doesn’t let that stop him. He tracks the Legends down to Nate’s basement by honing in on their radio signal. When he arrives, he finds the Legends licking their wounds, sulking (Nate is responsible for 85 percent of the sulking, which is to be expected since he just watched Vixen die), and preparing to break the number rule of time travel: traveling back to past events they’ve already visited. (I am honestly surprised that none of them made a “We have to go back” Lost joke.) This rule was established in the first season, and it’s a surprise that the writers waited 32 episodes before breaking it. Needless to say, Rip isn’t jazzed about breaking said rule, but THEY HAVE TO GO BACK, KATE! (Sorry)
