On TV Line earlier today the news broke that the CW’s upcoming DC Comics show, Legends of Tomorrow, just became infinitely cooler than it already was.

Firefly alum Jewel Staite has been cast in it.

That’s right, Kaylee herself will be featured in an important role later in the season. Her role is Rachel Taylor, described as “a tech genius/roboticist” who is “a descendent of a long line of inventors — one of whom turns out to be someone from the DC Universe!” She believes her “creations can make the world a better place.”

Unfortunately for her, one of her inventions falls into the hands of Vandal Savage and it’s what he uses to conquer the future. So now, Rachel has to “team up with the Legends to stop him.”

It’s unclear who exactly she’s a descendent of. The last name Taylor doesn’t really correspond to anyone else in the DC Universe — but that doesn’t mean she can’t be descended from any of the great inventors like Ray Palmer, Cisco Ramon or even Ted Kord.

Can it please be Ted Kord?

Or maybe, just maybe, could they mean Felicity Smoak? We could see the two of them being related…
