What kind of trouble?

Oooorrrr…maybe not!

), and Rip watches as Ray dons his high-tech Atom suit to take down the rest.

Its all flashy fun, but Nate and Oliver tell Mick to fast-forward to 1942.

And then he vanished.

Whyd you go anyway?

Good question, Oliver!

Besides, they have a good plan in place, and thats already better than most missions they pursue.

Stein cant wait hell be meeting Einstein in the flesh!

and Saras also determined to make it.

(Yup now youll never be able to un-see Albert Einstein grabbing a womans behind.)

Aaaaand with that, the plans completely changed, yet again.

NEXT:Mein Gott, its full of Dahrk!

Back on the ship, the team bickers (as usual) about what they should do.

Everyone else follows Rips commands, but to little success.

Ray tries to turn off the bomb, but his suit malfunctions because of the radiation.

Mick torches bad guys with his gun but gets shot without backup.

At least they managed to get Mileva back.

A strategy that turns out to be… sacrifice the Waverider to the torpedo and save New York.

In the present, Mick thinks about what must have happened to his teammates.

We find him as hes being chased by a T-Rex (yikes!)

while sporting matted hair and an unsightly beard (double yikes!).

There, a boy king (who brought back unfortunate flashbacks to Joffrey) demands his wizards amuse him.

Sara is also on the brink of death when her teammates find her.

After those mini-adventures, though, Nate and the crew still havent managed to track down Rip.

And as the Nazi tries to threaten Dahrk, a burst of red lightning enters the room.

Thats right: Dahrks been working on this plot with Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, thewholetime.

But is all of that enough to makeLegends of Tomorrowa cleaner, better adventure drama than it was before?

and therefore easier to follow with more screentime for each member.

!Legendscould use character moments that justify the team name ironically or not and its on the right track.

For the premiere, though, it just didnt quite get there.
