The CW’s Arrow and The Flash have returned for their fifth and third seasons, respectively, and Melissa Benoist’s Supergirl has landed on the network for her second season. And now, here comes Rip Hunter’s Legends back for more time-travelling shenanigans.

Season 1 of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow was certainly a mixed bag, but many fans of The CW’s DC world are hopeful that the show can learn from its initial teething problems and deliver something special with its second season. After all, this is a new season that promised the arrival of the famed Justice Society of America and the supervillain supergroup known as the Legion of Doom.

In Out of Time, we were brought up to speed with our Legends following a first season finale that saw them warned against going back to 1942. Using Oliver Queen as a way to bring newcomer Dr. Nate Heywood into the Legends fold, this season premiere was full of some brilliant moments as well as, sadly, some ever-familiar problems.

So with that said, let’s have a look at the Ups and Downs of Legends’ second season premiere, Out of Time.
