Director:
Alice Troughton
This is the first time we’re seen Alice’s name pop up in the
director’s chair, but fans of Galifrey Public Radio may know her
from BBC series like Doctor Who, Torchwood, Atlantis and others
genre shows on the other side of the pond!
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1488618/?ref_=ttfc_fc_dr1
Berlantiverse: 1x Director LoT “River of Time” |
1x Director Flash “Flashback”
Other Director Credits: 2x Doctor Who | 2x
Torchwood | 9x Sarah Jane adventures |
5x Atlantis | 3x The Living and the Dead | 13x The Adventures of
Merlin ...and many others
Writers:
Cortney Norris
The last time Cortney wrote an episode was in Night of the
Hawk, but she’s a no stranger to a script - aside from only two
writing credits, which include Legends and the Flash, she has a ton
of script coordinator credits
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5099297/?ref_=ttfc_fc_wr5
Berlantiverse: Writer credits - 2x LoT | 1x
Flash
Script Coordinator credits: 1x Flash | 13x
Tomorrow People | 13x Finder | 13x Mad Men and others
Anderson Mackenzie
We’ve seen Anderson on one other episode this season, and she’s
another great example of relative newcomers to writing getting a
chance to break into the industry
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6406162/?ref_=ttfc_fc_wr6
Legends of Tomorrow: 2x writer credits “Marooned”
and “River of Time”
Other credits: 19x Scorpion as assistant to
executive producer Nicholas Wootton, whose credits include 45ep as
EP of Scorpion, 22ep EP of Chuck, 21ep Producer on Prison Break,
62ep as EP of NYPD Blue and others… Anderson has definitely had the
opportunity to work with a powerhouse in the industry.

EPISODE DC EASTER EGGS:
Season 1 Episode 14 “River of Time” (Date: 05 May
2016)
Article:http://comicbook.com/dc/2016/05/06/dcs-legends-of-tomorrow-things-you-might-have-missed-in-river-of/
- Rob Roy Reference: Rob Roy Macgregor, who
provided Rip with some 17th Century Scotch, is a well known
historical figure...and he was also played by Liam Neeson, who
played Ra's al Ghul in the Dark Knight Trilogy.
- You showed a caveman fire: Savage explains
that once he figured out time travel existed, he knew he had to
master it. Funny, becuase in the comics vandal savage was a
caveman.
- Jitters Reference: Jitters, of course, is
the name of the coffee house in Central City where characters like
Iris West and Kendra Saunders used to work.
- Temporal Radiation: The effects of being
bombarded with chronal/temporal energy being rapid aging isn't
unprecedented. In fact, in the comics it recently happened to Rip
Hunter's father, Booster Gold.
- Hot Wheels reference: We talked about this
one during the Arrow season. Ray calls Felicity Hot Wheels
right before he leaves on the mission.
- General Order 52: Hey, a “52” reference…
whaddayaknow?
- WWII novelty pen: Unrevealed, but the
producers have teased Sgt. Rock, a popular DC comics soldier
character
- Jax is roofied: Jax has a habit of getting
roofied...
