Starling Tribune - Season 7.5 Edition – “Egg MacGuffin” Review (A CW Network Arrow Television Show Fan Podcast) ST248

The Starling Tribune Reporters SP, Chris and Michelle review the Legends Of Tomorrow season 4 thirteenth episode “Egg MacGuffin.” The Reporters discuss what the real MacGuffin was, they struggle and ultimately FAIL to remember the name of the Entrapment film, a question if Nate can actually be knocked out, a possible Hallmark Romanti-Con, if Gary’s turn was believable, if Nate’s decision to save Ray was the right decision and if Nora will be able to handle her love Ray.

GENERAL NEWS:

1. ‘DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow’: Brandon Routh & Courtney Ford To Depart CW Drama As Series Regulars In Season 5 (Date: 22 August 2019)
   1. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will be bidding farewell to two series regulars during the superhero team-up drama’s upcoming fifth season: Brandon Routh, who plays Ray Palmer/Atom, and Courtney Ford, who portrays Nora Darhk. Routh and Ford’s exits stem from a creative decision to wrap up their storyline. Because of the nature of the time-traveling Legends of Tomorrow, there has been a natural character turnover, with series regulars leaving as their stories come to an end and new ones coming on board. Of the large regular ensemble cast that started in Season 1, only a couple will still be on the show by the end of this coming season.
