Storyline

While the team is discussing the artifacts and their origin , the "time quake" device gives a date to the old west. It's a disturbing quake as it shows the USA divided in half all due to Quientin Turnbull and a mysterious new ore. When the team arrives they come across their old pal Jonah Hex being lynched. After rescuing him they find a mine filled with dwarf star and soon realized this is the powerful new ore. Time for the Legends to right the wrongs!

Goofs

In the saloon, when Hex pulls his guns, the gun cocking sound is heard. It is then heard again as he levels them at Turnbull. In the response to this when everyone in the saloon pulls a gun, one of the gun cocking sounds heard is that of a semi-automatic pistol, which did not exist at the time.

User Reviews

Not Their First Rodeo

Even though CW has had a relatively good week in terms of their superhero shows, I knew the quality couldn't keep up for long. This Legends episode wasn't necessarily bad, but it lacked the excitement that this season has consistently showcased. For that, it was a disappointing night.

For what it's worth, I thought last season's "The Magnificent Eight", where Jonah Hex was introduced, was weak. So, I wasn't all that surprised to find tonight's trip back to the old west just as dull. Hex himself was fine last year and was fine tonight. I don't find there to be anything special about his presence, but I thought the choice to have Sara be his pair/partner tonight really worked.

I get that Quentin Turnbull is supposed to be Hex's archenemy, but I didn't find anything in his character that could separate him from the likes of every other villain on Legends. I think that's one of the things that this show has always struggled with. Luckily, we know the Legion of Doom are coming. But I hope the writers spend a bit more time fleshing out their villains so that we as an audience connect more with the human side of them. You can't just have every villain be going after a powerful object or device. Tonight, that object came by the form of Dwarf Star Alloy, the very thing Ray used to make his A.T.O.M. Suit.

The other notable side arc was Stein having serious headaches which could be a result of plenty of time jumps or even his run-in with his younger self once again. I'm far more interested in what Barry ended up telling them and why they haven't told the crew yet. Could this be something that comes to a forefront during this massive 4-night crossover in a few weeks? I sure hope so. But overall, this episode failed to really interest me, even with the welcomed appearance of Jonah Hex.
