‘Legends of Tomorrow’ spoilers: ‘Progeny’ creates a moral dilemma

If there is one singular thing that we have seen time and time again through our coverage of “Legends of Tomorrow,” it is this: There are really a wide array of consequences that can come back as a result of time travel. We can see timelines change, and more than that, you also have situations where many characters may be forced to at least consider things that they really don’t want to do.

For fans of this particular CW show, we could see this play out further on “Progeny,” which is the new new episode of the show airing on Thursday, April 7. The synopsis below does offer up a reasonably good idea as to what you can expect to see:

“Rip (Arthur Darvill) tells the team they are headed to the future to take out a powerful ally that Savage (guest star Casper Crump) needs in order to conquer the world. However, when Rip reveals the ally is a 14 year-old boy (guest star Cory Gruter-Andrew) who will one day grow into an evil dictator, the team is split about the morality of killing a child, even if it does save the world. Meanwhile, Sara (Caity Lotz) talks Snart (Wentworth Miller) through a rough patch and Ray (Brandon Routh) learns something that could impact his future with Kendra (Ciara Renée).”

By the time we make it to the end of this episode, the major thing that we can really hope for are that there are a few more surprises, and we get a chance to see at least a thing or two that we did not previously anticipate. The story about the future dictator could be interesting, but we certainly wonder right now they just don’t take him out when he is a fear years older and there could still be a chance.
