Time loops and pirates both have their perils. These two episodes have the Legends facing both. Join us as we dig for treasure in Season 3, episodes 11 and 12.   “Here I Go Again” – After an offscreen mission involving ABBA and Napoleon, the team is looking to relax. But Zari is trying to run simulations to help her save her family. The team gets stuck in Hedgehog Day as Zari calls it. She is the only one who knows they are in a loop. She enlists Nate's help. Through the process she learns so much about each member of the team, but even more about herself. By the end she has made her place among the Legends and the entire team is better off for it.   “Curse of The Earth Totem” – The team is working to recover the lost totems, but Damien and Nora Darhk keep beating them to the punch. While Sara is on her first data with Ava, the team heads to the Devils Triangle in search of the earth totem. Blackbeard's pirate queen Anne was killed by it but re-animated to take vengeance. The team must fight the Darhks and a vengeful totem bearer. They escape with the totem, but only after wounding Nora. Ray feels guilty and saves her life but is captured in the process. Sara & Ava start off rocky but end up working     Contact Information If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to TomorrowsLegendsPodcast@gmail.com.

Manchester Mayor Jay Moran was on to talk about Groundhog's Day, which will need an assist from a hedgehog because Chuckles the groundhog has a problem. (0:00)  A trio of mayor checked in to talk about the snow cleanup and removal in New Haven, Norwalk and New Britain. Chaz and AJ also played some audio from Erin Stewart's Instagram yesterday where she debuted a new term, "mayoring." (18:02)   Dumb Ass News featured a metal band with a lead singer that is a Buddhist nun, and Chaz recognized that tone from some of Jennifer's angriest moments. (34:04)  Joe Russo laid out how security measures are implemented at a large event like a Super Bowl. He spent time in the Secret Service, was in Yankee Stadium after 9/11, and admitted that things are very different because of the pandemic. (38:09)   Super Bowl is Sunday, and Chaz and AJ wanted help from the Tribe on their go-to comfort foods. Karen called in a recipe for mac and cheese, and might have spawned a brand new segment with more of her recipes. (51:07) Image Courtesy of Joe Russo

Mama Mia! Here I Go Again! It’s Hedgehog Day, again. Hedgehog Day? You told me you would know what I meant if I said Hedgehog Day! This time loop is driving me crazy. I don’t know if I can keep doing this.   Synopsis   Zari remained on the Waverider while the rest of the team rescued a Waterloo recording from Napoleon. She takes full advantage of the Captain being away and in addition to performing maintenance, she uploads a program she designed to find a loophole in history that will save her brother. Unfortunately, it had a few unintended consequences, including frying Gideon’s cortex. When the team returns, they find out Zari has uploaded the program and Sara orders her to fix the ship. As Ray trips over his platforms (for the first of multiple times), Zari storms off to try and fix Gideon. During her repairs, she loosens a hose and a highly volatile substance that fuels the time drive sprays into her face. Moments later, the Waverider explodes.   Zari finds herself exactly 1-hour earlier, just finishing her argument with Sara, again. Confused, she walks off to fix the ship, and the first of hundreds of time loops begins again. At first, she tries to involve Ray, explaining what is happening to her, but he gives her a sedative, several times in a row, before she develops and stumbles (literally) into Nate. When she explains the time loop, he tells her to find him the next time around and say “Groundhog Day.”   Well, she gets there eventually (Hedgehog Day?) and the two are able to slowly investigate the entire team of the course of several one-hour loops in which Nate dies a number of different ways. Despite their efforts, they cannot stop the Waverider from exploding, but Zari learns a number of fascinating things about her team members.   Nate and Amaya are flashing themselves to forget they keep having sex on every mission. Mick Rory is writing a sci-fi romance novel and (shockingly) it’s quite good! Ray spills the beans about the secret he’s been keeping since he saw Constantine off the Waverider. Sara is sneaking off to the jump ship for some peace, quiet and a conversation with Ava Sharpe.   Having investigated the whole team and coming up short, Zari takes Nate’s advice and does “the fun montage” on her next several loops. Eventually, Zari can’t take it anymore and tries to shoot herself to end the time loop. Unfortunately, there are no bullets in the gun. A broken Zari brings the team up to speed and they form a plan to search the ship. At that exact moment, Mick tosses a beer bottle in the trash shoot and it comes flying back out. They head down to the trash compactor to investigate and discover… Gary!   We think that Gary is the source of the time loop, but as it turns out, he is a literal plot device, trapped in a trash compactor just because it’s funny. (We see what you did there writer’s room.) Rory destroys the “chronorepeater” and the team has five minutes to find the bomb. Rory suggests they picked it up in Waterloo and they find the bomb in the one place Zari never looked: the Waterloo recording. They discuss how to diffuse it and Zari realizes there is only one thing she can do. She takes the bomb and locks herself in Sara’s office, hoping to shield the team from the worst of the blast so she can finally save them all.   Just as the bomb should explode, everyone disappears and Gideon walks onto the bridge. We learn everything in this episode has been a simulation. Zari’s body is recovering in the med bay from her encounter with the mysterious time sludge and her consciousness has been in Gideon’s own version of the Matrix. She adapted her own program to force Zari to bond with the team. You see, the only way for her to save her brother and her home, she has to work with the Legends, but her fight with Sara would have led to her leaving the team. So Gidon stepped in and used Zari’s history hack to hack Zari. And it works!   Zari explains everything to the team, who think she’s still being affected by the time sludge, but she shows them it really happened by telling each of them things only they could know about themselves. Sara and Zari bond over coffee, where she suggests Sara finally ask out Ava, and work out the loophole that will allow Zari to save her family.   To close us out, Zari plays the violin as we see each team member gain closure. The episode ends with Rip tracking down Wally West in the Yunnan Province. He explains he needs Wally to save the universe.   Extras   The CW's Fall Schedule Jesse Quick joins the Legends!   Contact Information If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to tomorowslegends@gmail.com.
