SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #310 Legends of Tomorrow 2x10 - The Legion of Doom | Recap & Review
This episode we get to see things from the Legion of Doom’s perspective, and the in-fighting is rampant. Darhk and Merlyn can’t get any secrets out of Film School Rip because there are none to be had. His brain has literally been reprogrammed. This failure annoys Eobard, who admonishes them as he would henchmen. Fed up with the sidekick treatment, Merlyn and Darhk trap Eobard in a vault and demand to be treated as equals. It works, because it turns out the watch Eobard has been looking at is telling him how long he has before the Black Racer shows up to snag his soul. After Eobard agrees to their demands, they use a similar trick to trap the Black Racer and make an escape. Having bought some time, the trio head back with the prize of Rip’s safety deposit box, which is a memory disk. They use it to reprogram Rip again, this time making him an assassin. Meanwhile, Stein and Ray need help sciencing something and Stein calls in the foremost expert he can think of. His daughter, Lily. She’s a big fan of the Waverider, even if Sara is a little peeved she’s been brought there, but she does in fact help Ray plug Gideon up to a thousands-year-old amulet, which will hopefully help them find the rest of the spear of destiny before the Legion of Doom. Unfortunately, Mick lets slip that she’s an aberration and Stein has to face the music on his feelings about having a daughter and Lily’s past.

Mon El seems to be mostly battle ready, and Winn needs some sleep. Kara & Mon El set out to track a recently sprung Livewire. Mon El screws up guarding some civilians, & Guardian has to put his neck out to save a bystander. He gets knocked out, and Kara learns that Guardian is James Olsen. This goes over poorly, and Kara swears she’ll stop him from risking his life. He tells her “Good luck with that”. It turns out that Livewire was abducted and not rescued though, and when Winn tracks her location, he lies to Hank and Supergirl and feeds the location to James to prove their worth. Mon El overhears the location & their plan, so he shows up to help. Unfortunately the scientist gets the drop on Guardian and Mon El, and they get themselves captured, forcing Winn to come clean to Supergirl. She shows up, releases everyone, and forms a temporary alliance with Livewire to stop the scientist. Supergirl even agrees to let Livewire have a running start before tracking her down again, just in case she’s decided not to be a villain anymore. Even after fighting side by side though, in the aftermath Kara just can’t agree to support James and Winn’s vigilantism and the 3 of them agree to work separately. Meanwhile, Hank has to save M’gann’s life after she appears to collapse in her cell. After much reluctance, he mind melds with her and talks her out of her guilt, which stops her mind from shutting itself down. The two reemerge as friends and she warns Hank that it was a psychic attack that shut her down, and the White Martians are coming. Also, Mon El tells Kara how he feels and gets shut down hard.

After mucking about with some death traps and trying to get Penguin to betray Ed for his own life, Ed reluctantly admits that Oswald does apparently love him, one way or another, but shoots him anyway. Finally, Alfred and Bruce have a talk about what all this training is leading to and what rules he’ll need to abide by.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #303 – Arrow 5x10 – Who Are You? | Recap & Review
Laurel is back! Except it’s definitely Earth 2’s Black Siren instead. Felicity throws a welcome back party that’s really a Gather-Your-DNA-From-A-Glass party, which confirms the identical nature of this supposed Laurel. New-Laurel catches on and tries to blow up the lab, but gets caught. Felicity then allows New-Laurel to escape, but only after tricking her into swallowing nanotech that will track her. They find Black Siren, working with Prometheus. The team takes her down, but fails to capture Billy-Malone-Now’s killer. Oliver stations her at a nearby ARGUS facility in the hopes that he can one day find a shred of the old Laurel in this new Siren. During all this, Curtis has been unsure of his place on the team after having his ass handed to him a few times. Rene, of all people, recognizes this and takes the time to mention to him how crucial he is to the team when he is playing to his strengths. Elsewhere in the world, Diggle wants to get out of from under his charges the right way this time. Oliver convinces Adrian Chase to help him out. Diggle makes it clear that if he is transferred out of Star City under General Clark’s care it will be the penultimate stop on the way to a bullet to the head, so Chase gets a little creative, having Diggle punch him to keep the case in the Star City jurisdiction. Back in Russia, Oliver gets the face beat out of him for a while in an attempt to make him attend to the Kovar Konstantine agenda. In time, Talia al Ghul shows up to rescue him. And in Hub City, a young lady busts up some bar fly assholes using what could only be a Canary Cry. Oh, and Oliver decides to find another Canary to continue the legacy. Because that’s what’s happening.

However, Lucas tossed it in the trash, so the trio go to the landfill to search for it. Lucas finds the Spear but the others convince him that they can’t give it up because Darhk will just kill them anyway. At a crucial juncture, since they are in a trash compactor and are nearing certain death, Ray and Nate demand that Lucas own up to what he really wants to do.

Then it's the Legends vs. The Legion of Doom, complete with a still-amnesiac Rip pretending to be a Time Master to limited success! The team makes off with the Spear and the Amulet, but not with Rip. He was nabbed by the Legion for some torture time! Meanwhile, Martin tries to help Mick stop seeing visions of Snart, even resorting to removing Time Master tech via surgery, but Mick's affliction turns out to be psychological.

SPOILERS/NSFW - DC on SCREEN #301 – The Flash 3x10 – Borrowing Problems From the Future | Recap & Review
After initially looking like kind of a jackass, Barry finally decides he needs to tell Iris about the future he saw where Savitar kills Iris. He tells Iris, who advises him to tell the rest of the team. Well, except Joe. The gang decides that the best way to try to help isn’t to change the past, since that always mucks things up pretty royally, but to subtly change the pieces of the present and guide the future into a different course. Cisco vibes himself and Barry to the time when Iris was killed to read the headlines that he didn’t stop to read before. The news scroll provides a to-do list for changing the future, and they set about their tasks. Caitlin, who has been feeling more and more out of control of Killer Frost, asks Julian to join the team and help her depower. The team is hesitant, but they accept his help on behalf of Caitlin, who has been prophesied to be Frost again in just a few months. Also, H.R. has completed renovations and is ready to open the Star Labs Museum. However, opening night is a complete bomb. Everyone, and especially Cisco, is ready to call it a day and shrug off the project until the news of the closing of Star Labs appears in the future news scroll. Cisco then revamps and advertises the museum pretty much overnight and shares a great moment with H.R. as he shows him the crowded and repaired museum. The touching H.R. moment is quickly followed by the quiet appearance of Gypsy, who appears to be on the hunt for the alternate Harrison.
