DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will be returning for season 3 in a few weeks, and it’s been promised that the show will be even crazier than before. It seems that the showrunners are doubling down on everything that made the show wacky in season 2, and that includes episode titles. Executive producer Marc Guggenheim recently revealed a new episode title, and it has some people confused because the title is “Helen Hunt.”
Legends of Tomorrow Ep. 307 is in production. The title page will make sense once you see the episode. @ketomizu @yomoham pic.twitter.com/NqXmmbwIh0

First of all, it should be noted that Guggenheim referenced the episode as 307 in his tweet, but the script says 306. So there’s that.
Second of all, fans can’t stop making Helen Hunt references in the comments section.
is this something we should be “mad about” LOL pic.twitter.com/S23gu3l5sz

A few months ago at San Diego Comic Con International, producer Phil Klemmer confirmed to Comicbook.com the Legends will be going back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, and he also explained that a character will be creating a war between two movie studios.
“We do have a Helen of Troy episode we’ve been talking about in the room. It’s an interesting idea. It’s this woman who started a terrible Trojan war and there were thousands of lives lost — we’ll see her in Hollywood, creating a similar sort of war between a pair of studio bosses, but we’re going to explore the notion of was she at fault? Was she a person or just this object? So, we get into notions of beauty and sexual politics and all sorts of crazy stuff that you would think would not belong on a superhero time-travel show, but somehow it works,” Klemmer said.
Sounds like it’s going to be a fun episode.
DC’s “Legends of Tomorrow” will return for season 3 on Tuesday, October 10.
After the defeat of Eobard Thawne and his equally nefarious Legion of Doom, the Legends face a new threat created by their actions at the end of last season. In revisiting a moment in time that they had already participated in, they have essentially fractured the timeline and created anachronisms – a scattering of people, animals, and objects all across time! Our team must find a way to return all the anachronisms to their original timelines before the time stream falls apart. But before our Legends can jump back into action, Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) and his newly established Time Bureau call their methods into question.
With the Time Bureau effectively the new sheriffs in town, the Legends disband – until Mick Rory (Dominic Purcell) discovers one of them in the middle of his well-deserved vacation in Aruba. Seeing this as an opportunity to continue their time traveling heroics, Sara (Caity Lotz) wastes no time in getting the Legends back together. We reunite with billionaire inventor Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), the unconventional historian-turned-superhero Nick Heywood (Nick Zano), and Professor Martin Stein (Victor Garber) and Jefferson “Jax” Jackson (Franz Drameh), who together form the meta-human Firestorm.
Once reunited, the Legends will challenge the Time Bureau’s authority over the timeline and insist that however messy their methods may be, some problems are beyond the Bureau’s capabilities. Some problems can only be fixed by Legends.
