Trivia[]

  • When Ray saves a younger version of Mick Rory, he says, "Come with me if you want to live", referencing a famous quote from the Terminator franchise.
    • Appropriately enough, both this episode and Terminator contain a common factor in that The Pilgrim and Terminator are sent by their employers (Time Masters and Skynet, respectively) to eliminate their targets in various time periods where they represent a great threat for them; in Terminator's case, it's about preventing a human victory in a human-machine war in the future while in this episode, it's about correcting mistakes in the Legends' individual timelines (also because of a secret alliance between the Time Masters and Vandal Savage, revealed later on).
  • At approximately 31:24, The Pilgrim is holding a multi-functional mouse as a controller.
  • Rip points out that he is safe from The Pilgrim due to his real name not being known to the Time Masters, so they cannot track him. Also, Kendra is not a target as killing her is pointless due to her reincarnation cycle.
  • Although never seen, Anna Loring, Lisa Snart, Quentin Lance, and Clarissa Stein were kidnapped by The Pilgrim as well; only James Jackson is seen kidnapped by her. All five individuals appeared in this episode after their rescues (Anna and Clarissa very briefly, Quentin and James before and after Pilgrim's kidnapping); the only exception is Lisa, who is only pictured.
    • The picture of Anna and Ray shown by The Pilgrim is the same picture of them which briefly appeared in the Arrow Season 3 episode "Left Behind".
  • Interestingly, The Pilgrim goes after the teenage versions of Mick and Sara, and a version of Ray before he became The Atom while targeting Jax, Stein, and Snart as newborns. It's likely she chose the latter method as the Legends were able to get their past selves to safety on the Waverider.
  • The combined powers of Firestorm, the Heat gun, Cold gun, A.T.O.M. Exosuit, and Rip's pistol are shown to be capable of reducing a target to nothing but smoking ash.
  • The Pilgrim is a loose variation of the character of the same name from DC Comic's imprint Wildstorm; they have some similar powers but very different backgrounds, with the comic version of The Pilgrim having a real name. The latter version is also a member of the Wildstorm team Wetworks.

Goofs[]

  • The Legends travel to December 19th 2014, and Rip uses a gauntlet from Ray Palmer's atom suit to successfully shoot a laser at The Pilgrim. However, in the Arrow episode Midnight City, set in January 2015, Ray can't get the gauntlets to work, and has at no point been able to.
  • When Kendra brings baby Snart to the Waverider, there is a shot of Snart with a pacifier in his mouth, which wasn't present before and disappears in the next shot.
  • When Starling City in 2007 is shown, a 2011+ Dodge Charger police car is parked in front of the SCPD, which was not in production at the time.
    • This is likely due to the footage being reused from Arrow.
