Legends of Tomorrow Season 3 Episode 6: 'Helen Hunt' Review

Hello, Helen of Troy!

Using his new anachronism-patterned map, Nate leads the team to Hollywood of 1980s where an anachronism with great history changing potential has just popped up in the person of Helen of Troy... the most beautiful woman to ever walk the Earth and the cause of the great 10 year long Trojan war. All the males are mesmerised by her beauty and the Warner Brothers brother immediately claims her as his actress and star of his Troy movie.

The legends quickly find her where she's steaking the show at a Warner Bros party, but she doesn't want to return. Helen is tired of men fighting over her and is keen to start over on Hollywoodland. Moreover, she believes they are Warner Bros competitors trying to poach her and calls for her agent.... who, lo and behold, is Damian Darkh himself. But Darkh doesn't want to fight. He discusses a deal with Sara for the legends to return to 2017 or he would kill them, and goes away for her to consider it when a fight breaks out at the party, inadvertently started by Mick. Helen runs away and goes with another studio's director leaving Warner very angry.

Back on the ship, the legends consider the situation. Although they had not bargained running into Darkh here, they can't leave either, with parts of their ship literally disappearing from their engines. Stein and Jax (who switched bodies trying while trying to transfer Stein's half of the firestorm matrix into Jax) realise this is from the actress Hedy Lemarr not getting to prominence after Warner Bros closes down due to an actual studio war, and thereby not realising her genius.

Stein, in Jax's body and with a fanboy crush on Hedy heads out to convince her not to drop her dreams, but she doesn't listen... until Darkh shows up and comes after them. The female legends head to the party where the shootout was gearing to happen to talk to Helen again and manage to convince her to come with them, effectively preventing the war. They locate Stax (Stein-Jax) in a warehouse. Sara challenges Darkh to a league style combat, and actually manages to defeat him, before Eleanor, who we discover is actually his daughter Nora from the future, brings her magic to bear and joins the fight. Together, they hold the legends back, but Firestorm merges and they win, causing Darkh and his daughter to flee into time.

While all these happens, Kuasa steals onto the waverider where the other Zambesi sisters wait with Helen. She engages Amaya and finally reveals that she is one of Amaya's granddaughters before being stabbed by Helen and disappearing in a wave. Zari takes Helen away but doesn't return her to Troy. After discovering that Helen's presense loses its importance after the war starts, she takes her instead to Themiscyra, an hidden Island consisting only of Warrior women... and the origin of Wonder Woman in DC's lore.

An hilarious, exciting ang revealing episode! Let's know your take in the comments!
