DC's Legends Of Tomorrow Season 2: 6 Ups And 4 Downs From 'Out Of Time'

Downs

4. Don’t Interfere?

Sara Lance Legends of Tomorrow
The CW

Ever since Sara Lance was introduced in Arrow’s second season, she’s been shown to be a very sexual person. From her relationship with Oliver Queen (who at the time was dating Sara’s sister, Laurel Lance), to her passionate bond with Nyssa al Ghul, to her having been ever-giving with her love during her travels through time, Sara is quite the flirt and somebody who isn’t afraid of being blunt with what she wants.

In Out of Time, though, it seemed a little ridiculous of Sara to seduce the Queen of France on the day that she’s due to conceive the future ruler of the country, in turn potentially jeopardizing the future of France and one of history’s key periods.

Given that the show has often drilled home the mantra of not interfering with major events throughout its run to date, it seemed plain stupid of Sara to go against this instruction merely to feed her sexual thirst. And if nothing else, it seemed like a poor and lazy way to handle the Sara Lance character in an episode in which she otherwise shone.
