“I think there have been some big mileposts along the way to where we are now,” she tells us. “But the team of writers that we work with, we just know these characters so well, and we’re always trying to find a way to push them in new and surprising ways that feel emotionally grounded and real. Or at least resonant.” Like the rest of the world, Legends of Tomorrow had to make some serious changes because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But in a way, that helped push the show into the place it is now. “Certainly in the last couple years, with the pandemic and us all having to work remotely and be on Zoom meetings for hours and hours every day, I think we’ve just really wanted to see our characters…reflect a better version of the world back to us than the one we’re currently living in,” she says. “In that way, we’ve really tried to double down on messages of hope, the power of love, of accepting who you are, accepting people who are different than you, and listening to people who don’t think the same way you do.” “It was natural that the Legends having no home and being forced on the road in this very difficult way would cause them all to think a little bit more deeply about their purpose,” she tells us. “It makes sense at this point that we would be a little bit more contemplative, considering that all of the usual utilities and comforts have been taken away from our Legends.” Here’s the official synopsis of the Legends of Tomorrow season finale, “Knocked Down, Knocked Up,” courtesy of the CW: Check out the trailer here:
