We get to see a bit more of Brainy and Tinya.
When it hit me who the teenaged girl competing with the Legion of Superman's attention was i felt kinda dumb for not figuring it out before but It put a smile on my face.
A restaging of an old Superboy story in the future. Sort of inline with those crazy preboot stories where the 31st century was populated with people that looked/acted just like their 20th century ancestors.

Woah, the legionarres really kicked butt in this episode, and for the people who say that Saturn girl is weak were obviosly wrong. And I got to see more of Brainy and Phantom girl, who were both awesome by the way. The only thing I didn't like is that there was no Timberwolf and Bouncing Boy:( But I guess you can't have all the legionarres at once,cause I guess it's better to have them not be in the episode than to not do anything. Does anyone get the feeling we're going to see Alexis again?

At first I was annoyed that Alexis was getting all this air time. I mean, with so many Legionnaires I want to see, why do I have to spend all this time watching her? Well, there was a payoff! She went bad. Sad, but good storytelling! I liked it.
The action scenes were just great. I'm still all fanboy tingly from seeing these guys in action, especially Lightning Lad and Phantom Girl. I wish there were more Easter Eggs, we just got Lobo this time. I don't think any of the sentients in the backgrounds were anyone. Alexis used the name "Kort" though, didn't she? That was Magno Lad's name, right?

I, too, did not get the reference until the hair started falling off. Pretty well done if you ask me. It would be interesting to see a Legion of Super Villains that was just a bunch of rich-kid wanna-bes.
I liked the Phantom Girl lines and Brainy's issues with being Superman's friend. Any time I wondered if they were going to be too cardboard cut-out, they backed off or surprised me.
A minor quibble I have to get out of the way: Lightning Lad's sound effect for his lightning bolts could use some tweaking.

I caught part of it; will watch it later if the DVR worked properly. The TV listings still insist that Legion's been bumped to Sundays for the college games, but it shows on Saturday. So I have to hit record when the show starts instead of a pre-load.
I could see why Alexis would try to get Superman in the first place. He hadn't fought Lex Luthor yet, but she'd know about him from family history. And what better revenge, what greater humilation could she inflict, than to have Superman following her around like a lovesick puppy?

You'd think the Legion would have known who she was too in relation to Clark's past...

Yeah, I predict an Alexis-funded LSV in future eps!
At first I kinda wanted her to be Alexis Spiffany.
Both Phantom Girl and Saturn Girl kicked major tail, and I'm glad the LSH didn't actually need SuperBOY (I refuse to refer to him as Superman here) to save their hash in that initial pre-upgraded battle.
Too bad there were no other Legionnaires at the HQ when the attack happened. This would have been a great time to throw in a couple.
Minor quibble: The Scavengers should have been the Resource Raiders!
Brainy's man-crush on Supes sure was cute!
I agree-- awesome battle scenes here. Good stuff all around!
Still in awe-mode at even HAVING a Legion 'toon at all.

Resource Raiders?? is that what thye're called way back in Superboy and the Legion #242? (the Earth Wars saga)?
I was thinking about more like wishing that the raiders would be like Starburst Bandits...they do have the similar weapons...and they are thieves too.

I too was thinking "Resource Raiders" would have been cool.
I also think that the guy who first disses Superman and Alexis cuts down should have been Lester.
