Synopsis

When Damien Darhk and Malcolm Merlyn try to capture Rip Hunter in 1967, they create an Aberration big enough to draw the attention of the Legends. However, when the team arrives they discover that Rip has no memories of his past due to “time drift” and is just a graduate film student. After trying to convince Rip of who he was, they discover that he possesses an incredibly powerful artifact known as the Spear of Destiny, which the Legion of Doom is after. Ray and Nate realize that the Aberration has also affected them personally making it difficult to help the team. Meanwhile, Rory asks Stein for help and makes him promise to keep it a secret from the team.[1]

Production

Preparation ran from October 14 until October 24, 2016. Shooting ran from October 25 until November 3, 2016.[2]

Behind the scenes

  • The episode's title is a reference to the 1981 Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, particularly due to its significance in Nate Heywood's life.
  • This episode includes many references to the Star Wars franchise.
    • In some parts of the episode, Malcolm Merlyn and Damien Darhk fire at the Waverider with laser guns. In Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, stormtroopers used similar weapons to fire at the Millennium Falcon.
    • George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars, has a major role in this episode.
    • When Ray, Nate, Amaya and George Lucas were trying to save themselves in the trash compactor, they used a metal galilee to stop the compactor's walls. In Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, the heroes did the same thing.
    • Ray mentioned the names of the first 2 Star Wars movies, A New Hope and The Empire Strikes Back.
    • Amaya told George Lucas that he is their only hope. This is a reference to a famous line from the first Star Wars film: "Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope".
    • When Vixen knocked out Malcolm Merlyn during their fight, the Wilhelm scream sound effect is heard. The sound effect was used many times during the Star Wars movies. The Wilhelm Scream is also where Lucas and Speilberg got the name for Temple of Doom Herione Willie Scott.
  • Nate blasts "Ante Up" by M.O.P. in order to help him concentrate while reading.
  • The plot of this episode is very similar to the plot of the Doctor Who story "Human Nature"/"The Family of Blood".
  • Nate names the trio of Eobard Thawne's syndicate the Legion of Doom after a Hanna-Barbera cartoon he watched as a child. This is a meta-reference to the Legion's origins, who, while featuring DC characters, premiered in the Hanna-Barbera TV series Challenge of the Super Friends.
  • When Ray and Nate are arguing about which movie of George Locus to watch, Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark, Amaya suggested (from Gideon's list of George Lucas' movies) that they could watch Howard the Duck, in which both Ray and Nate refused. This is a reference to the original 1986 film, which is considered as one of the worst movies ever created.
  • Maisie Richardson-Sellers (Vixen) made her big screen debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
  • Due to the aberration towards George Lucas forsaking directing films, Nate Heywood, who was previously inspired by Indiana Jones, becomes a Yoga Instructor and Ray Palmer, who was previously inspired by Star Wars, becomes a Surgeon.
  • Declan appears as a vision to Mick Rory.
