It’s actually an evil Gideon, programmed by Bishop and wiped of all social context, who’s pushing Bishop into attacking the Legends because they keep disrupting the time stream. It turns out it’s not really Bishop who’s behind all the explosions and robot historical figures. Olivia Swann is really nailing this arc.īut the biggest surprise of the week was our big bad. The way the show keeps emphasizing how her time as the big boss of Hell gave her all these skills that are actually super useful outside of the pit of eternal damnation is a delight – two weeks ago it was her contract law background, this week it was her therapeutic use of her skill at interpreting screams. Now that Astra isn’t constantly negging Gideon, she’s one of the routine highest points of the show. He assumes they’re in prehistoric times, and does a wonderfully competent job of stepping in for the leaders, pairing people off with exactly who they need to talk to and then walking through his feelings to come to his decision to join Zari in the totem.
Nate catches Ava and Sara bickering after landing in this random forest following their escape from 1925 last week, and decides to take control of the situation, splitting everyone into different pairings and getting to work on setting up a campsite. This also explains why a seemingly religious guy in 1925 was so cool with two women being married, so in retrospect the hints were there from the start.ĭavies gets the most development, but Nate gets some time to shine too, as the show prepares to (maybe?) send him off into the totem with OG Zari. You’ll recall that last week, Legends of Tomorrow seemed to be deliberately obscuring Davies’ reason for inventing time travel, and we wasted no time in finding out why: he’s a queer World War I veteran whose partner was killed on the battlefield in front of him, and his death led to the eradication of their unit. Matt Ryan is a terrific actor who’s getting a chance to go in a drastically different direction than with his last role, and so far he’s nailing it. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise to see Davies get so much development this episode. Gwyn Davies’ “special person” from his conversation with Sara last week. But that’s not what happened at all: we got a TON of resolution tonight, with answers to the biggest plot mystery and the biggest character one: what’s the story with the other Waverider, and who is Dr. We’re very close to the midseason break for Legends of Tomorrow, but I half expected the revelations to dribble out over the course of this episode and the next. I’ll admit a part of me is a little surprised at how much was explained this week. Kids can now develop simple apps and programs where they can see the outcome of it.This Legends of Tomorrow review contains spoilers Legends of Tomorrow Season 7 Episode 6 It’s not just learning certain languages. “Coding is a much broader term than what I grew up with. Certain robots come ready to wow kids out of the box, while in the cases of other models, putting them together is part of the fun.Īccording to Chuck English, Virginia STEM Coordinator at the Science Museum of Virginia, coding is a popular activity for children of all ages. Coding and mechanical design are two skills that bots are particularly good at encouraging. Many require imagination during the design and construction phase. Robots are a great way to incorporate educational STEM principles into play. Always follow the recommended instructions with your toy to keep everyone safe. Hooking up electrical components and mechanical parts are best done with some adult supervision and oversight. Many robot toys and kits include complex construction, which can pose a safety hazard for younger users. Like with any toy, make sure to consider the safety precautions when choosing a robot toy. Kids who like a challenge may want a bot they can program themselves, using STEM skills, while others may just want to play games and dance with their toy. You should also consider a child’s individual skills and preferences when choosing a bot. Older children can likely handle a more complex activity that includes electrical components and intricate pieces and construction. Younger robot enthusiasts can benefit from a simpler, introductory robot kit or friend that introduces them to coding and design. Robot toys don’t need to be complicated to be fun.
