Jumping upon the Apolgist bandwagon, I feel that Sinde is a character that deserve better treatment that she has gotten so far.
She has been described as being as intelligent as a clam. But we only have the word of that user Cosmic(oh boo-hoo Night Girl can't go out with me tonight)Boy.
Clearly she was a woman who would do anything to please her man. I mean why else would she go to a holo-vid of a Charles Bronson film?
I, for one, feel that Sinde deserves membership in the Legion of Superheroes. So what if she doesn't have a super-power, Brainiac % can whip up one for her.

If Cos thought she was uninteresting or unintelligent, maybe it's because he's out with her an hour before dawn! I mean, what kind of creep asks a girl to go to 4:00 am movie? The poor girl's probably half asleep, and struggling to stay awake!

Hmm... we should get Dean Lee to design her a super-hero outfit, complete with clam-diggers!

We only have Rokk's opinion of her intelligence. In fact, he might not even believe that - he was no doubt making up some story to Lydda, to ease his guilt about taking Sinde out. Couldn't he just have gone to the movie by himself?
The Truth about Sinde is quite possibly one of the great untold stories of Legion history.

The thing about Rokk is that it generally takes him about 5 years to warm up to a girl. You should have heard the snarky things he said about Lydda before he started dating her - they made the "clam" remark sound romantic! Sinde was, in fact, a marine biologist as well as a cinephile and celebrated beauty, and went on to fame and fortune. Years later, she remembered Rokk only as a vaguely amusing one-night stand.

Wow after reading this little story for the first time, Rokk really comes off as a caveman.
So just because it's your night off Lydda should drop her whole life. Does she have to walk two steps behind you too Rokk? Sinde deserves better than this neanderthal.
I'd like to think that she was smarter than he thought. She was prbly using her one night stand with a famous legionnaire to advance her career. Probably sold a scandalous tell-all story for big bucks contributing to the Legion's loss of prestige in the 5 year gap too.

Bah! I have it on good authority that she begged Rokk for more dates in later years, and he wouldn't even return her calls!

FINALLY, a kindred spirit whp might understand how S/LSH # 212 helped make Cos one of my least-favorites preboot! The icing on the cake was the infamous Ayla-slappage in # 215. Poor poor Wokk had his feewings hurt and washed out wike a big ol' WUSS. To the witch wolves with him, says I!

I *still* maintain this was one of DC's earliest uses of Hypertime... or that Douglas Nolan was 'projecting' again.
Maybe slap-happy, Sinde-booty-calling Rokk was the Cosmic Boy from the dimension introduced in SUPERBOY 117. You know-- the one we're reading now .
Remember this same batch of issues showed Garth and Mekt as twins with little baby Ayla dangling between them, too.
If Ayla turns out to be Garth's little sister, and he has a twin *brother*, I won't be kidding when I bring up S117.

Bah, scientists are taught to accept the simplest possible solution until new evidence directly disproves it.
While Cos apologists might want to believe otherwise, isn't the simplest possible solution that pre-boot Cos had a little bit of misogynist jerk in him.
