Moments where it’s smarter to kill somebody on a TV show come in one of two flavors: Bond Villain, where the villain for some inexplicable reason decides to not just shoot the guy who’s trashed his plans, and Dumb Hero, where usually for some romantic reason, our hero nobly stays his hand and gives the villain time to screw everything up. Last week on Legends of Tomorrow, Kendra took the Dumb Hero excuse and ran with it, not killing Vandal Savage when she had the chance because of her feelings for Carter. So now Savage is going to trash the ship. Good job, Kendra!
It’s especially baffling because Carter is everything Ray isn’t. You know, creepy, weird, domineering, smug…all generally things one views as a negative on a Tinder date, let alone a centuries-long romance. And yet, the power of fate (or rather the power of the writer’s room needing 16 episodes this season instead of 13) has brought them together again. Kendra needs to pop Fate a good hard one in the nose, if he ever turns up. Anyway, we’ll find out if her feelings manage to get everybody killed tonight at 8 p.m. EST on the CW. Join us, won’t you?
