After leaving behind a bleak version of Star City, Legends of Tomorrow broke its typical formula of adventures in time, instead spending the entire episode stalled in space. It’s a big setting used effectively to tell a much smaller story as they focused on Rip Hunter’s history with the Time Masters, and Mick and Snart’s growing rift. In ‘Marooned’ directed by Gregory Smith and written by Anderson Mackenzie & Phil Klemmer, there was no hunt for Savage – only the team in constant danger, and it was one of the strongest episodes of the season.

　　《明日传奇》打破了传统的冒险戏码，不再将整个情节局限于宇宙中，力图让这部衍生剧相比之前能够有所突破。这部大制作只着眼于里普·亨特和时间控制者之间的种种，还有米克和斯纳特之间不断扩大的裂痕，由格雷戈里·史密斯执导，安德森·麦肯齐和菲尔·克莱默编剧，这支不再追杀原始人的不断处于危险中的强大队伍，将打造本季度最强剧集之一。

　　With Savage’s trail gone cold and Gideon in serious need of a software upgrade, Rip decides to use a distress call from another timeship to his advantage. Taking Mick, Jax, and Stein the Captain launches an away mission to access the ship’s technology, only to be captured by space pirates in an ambush. Back on the Waverider, Sara and Snart get trapped in chilling conditions while Ray and Kendra work to repair the ship and rescue their team.

　　由于逐渐失去野人的足迹而且吉迪恩迫切需要更新血液，里普决定使用另一个时空飞船上的求救电话，队长带着米克，贾克斯和斯坦因去获取飞船的技术信息，却不料被埋伏的海盗抓获，而在波行者，莎拉和斯纳克被困在冷却的环境中，雷和肯德拉在夜以继日修理飞船解救队伍同伴。

　　In one hour, the show managed to rectify many of the challenges that ‘2046’ highlighted. By spending so much time focusing on Rip’s backstory, we are finally able to see the history that has been influencing all of his decisions since he abandoned the council. The flashbacks to Rip and his late wife Miranda Coburn ultimately develops their characters beyond the dead wife trope – though Miranda remains one-note in flashback form – and makes Rip’s guilt complex that much more understandable as we see what she gave up for him.

　　一小时的剧集希望能够修正一些来自“2046”的突出的挑战，在花了这么多时间关注里普的背景后，我们终于可以理清他从退出委员会之后的种种经历如何影响了他的每一步，特别是里普和他已故的妻子米兰达·科伯恩的故事线也使人物更为丰满。

　　While the episode wrestles with some serious topics, it rotated from humor to pathos and back again. Instead of feeling jarring or out of place it seemed more like the writers hit their sweet spot: oddballs in space. By embracing everything this show is – and not attempting to impersonate Arrow or The Flash – Legends succeeds wonderfully. The humor, adventure, and absurdity inherent in the show were on full display here. The addition of space pirates, while not entirely threatening, were serviceable antagonist in this Star Trek send up.

　　尽管剧集围绕着一些严峻紧张的话题，当中却不乏幽默与感人的桥段，他们是宇宙中的异类，然而却并没有让人觉得不和谐，这部剧没有打算模仿成功的《绿箭侠》或者《闪电侠》，而是充分展现幽默，冒险和荒谬。新增加的宇宙海盗，尽管不是非常具有威胁性，在此次星际航行中却是一个有用的对手。

　　With Rip shouldering most of the emotional heavy lifting, his crew provided some nice comic relief. Ray Palmer’s short-lived reign as captain was predictably bumpy, but his Star Trek take on being in charge was a nice addition. Even though Rip was overstating his team’s experience a bit, almost everyone still managed to get in a few punches, once again showing off Sara’s amazing fighting skills even as she went up against (the surprisingly agile) Mick.

　　与里普承担了主要的情感负担不同，他的伙伴们提供了很棒的漫画慰藉，雷·帕尔默短暂的船长生涯可以预见到是十分坎坷的，但却是一个整个行动中一个很好的补充。尽管里普有点夸大了团队的经验，几乎每个人都设法提升自己的能力，像莎拉在对抗米克的时候，就很好地再次展示了自己惊人的格斗术。

　　The only odd beat in the whole hour once again centered around Kendra. First she wasn’t given anything to do besides tilt her head and give Ray gentle pep talks. Then, after his brush with death their two day flirtation was quickly upgraded to a full fledged romance as Kendra threw herself into his arms, kissing him just as he tells her she doesn’t need anyone. Of course, Kendra and Carter were not actually together and she cannot remember most of their past, but this still feels like a huge jump for her. A relationship will likely not be so ready made for Sara and Snart, but their near death bonding, and Snart shooting Mick to help save Sara, only supports the earlier hints of romance. Regardless of which direction they take this relationship, the two have a lot in common and seeing them open up about their regrets and previous encounters with death was a nice, quiet moment.

　　最尴尬的再次非肯德拉莫属了，首先她没有被指派任何任务除了鼓励一下雷，其次，在雷与死神擦肩而过之后，他们的两日调情迅速上升为成熟的爱情，肯德拉甚至依偎在他的怀抱寻求依托，当然肯德拉和卡特事实上没有在一起，她也忘记了过去，但这一切对于肯德拉来说依然是一个巨大的飞跃。莎拉和斯纳特则因死亡而靠得更近了，斯纳克为了救莎拉击中了米克，也许这为日后的罗曼蒂克埋下了伏笔。不管这一对未来发展如何，他们有许多共同点，看着他们敞开心扉吐露自己的遗憾和过往关于死亡的经历，都是一种美妙的感受。

　　When we first meet Snart and Mick, they are partners gleefully robbing Central City blind. The two of them signed up for this mission together – ostensibly for the thieving opportunities – but we’ve seen Snart’s inclination toward good ever since he first cut a deal with Barry Allen. Despite his occasional grumbling, it’s clear he likes being on the team, likes working on a greater mission. Their fracturing loyalties and Mick’s discontent has been building over the course of the season and finally boiled over after Mick’s hostile takeover of the ship.

　　我们第一次见到斯纳特和米克的时候，他们还是闹市两个欢快的抢劫同犯，他们一起签署了这项任务，表面上为了偷窃的机会，但我们看到在和闪电侠达成协议之后斯纳特逐渐向善的倾向，除了偶尔的抱怨，看得出他乐于作为团队的一员，喜欢迎接更大的挑战，在过去的系列中他们的分裂和米克的不满在逐步累积，直到米克不怀好意地接管飞船的时候爆发了。

　　‘Marooned’ was a stand out episode, seamlessly revealing multiple backstories while building the stakes, and bringing out team closer. By embracing the show’s inherent strengths and grounding the action in real, emotional stakes it seems like Legends has found its own unique, if somewhat goofy, voice.

　　蓝烟火事件是独特的插曲，风险的背后无缝揭露了许多背景故事，在囊括了这些人固有的优势和在真实、情绪化的风险下的实际行动后，传奇似乎找到了自己的独特的存在方式。

　　Legends of Tomorrow will return with ‘Night of the Hawk’ on March 10th, 2016 at 8pm on The CW.

　　《明日传奇》将在2016年3月10日晚八点“鹰之夜”回归。
