Sci-Fi This Week: Legends of Tomorrow Meets The Future Green Arrow
Find out what’s airing in science fiction and fantasy
It’s the year 2046 when the Wave Rider makes its landing in this week’s new episode of DC’s Legends of Tomorrow — and a very different Star City.
Stephen Amell (Arrow) guest stars in this week’s episode as Oliver Queen, but he’s not the only Green Arrow in the future. The team will also meet Connor Hawke (Joseph David-Jones, Allegiant), a major character from the comics, who has taken on the Green Arrow mantle in the future.
Also this week: Mulder is missing when The X-Files 6-episode event series reaches its final hour tonight, with appearances from Annabeth Gish (“Monica Reyes”), The Flash‘s Robbie Amell (“Agent Miller”), and Six Feet Under‘s Lauren Ambrose (“Agent Einstein”).
It’s been a very fun revival, and while there are no plans yet announced by Chris Carter and FOX, hopefully there will be more X-Files for us in the future.
Arrow‘s Diggle and Lyla pay a visit to Central City to hunt down King Shark on this week’s episode of The Flash, while DC super-heroine Vixen (Megalyn Echikunwoke, pictured left) makes her live-action debut on Arrow. Agent Carter has another episode double-header on Tuesday, and Jenny digs up family skeletons when she confronts her father on Sleepy Hollow.
