The LSV, on the other hand, would have no qualms about hurting or even killing the creature and wouldn't hold back, as Imra and Clark may have been doing.
Thanks, that works for me; that was the only complaint I had about the episode (well, other than Gim's part being too "small"), so thanks for fixing it.

It was awesome to see Chlor, Fire Lad, Color Kid, Polar Boy, Infectious Lass and the rest again (I saw Stone Boy and Night Girl, but they didn't get as much face time as the rest)! And whoo! More Triplicate Girl *and* Bouncing Boy *and* they introed Colossal Boy! It's just so much goodness all at once, I'm gonna go into shock!
Being a fan of oddballs like Porcupine Pete and Ron-Karr and Spider Girl, it was neat to see them as well, even if they weren't exactly the way I remembered them. (I'm cool with Spider Girl having different colored hair, so that she looks less like a copy of Marvels Medusa, regardless of which character came first...)

Another episode full of LSH treats! I thought the LSVers were well-done & liked the twist on their motives. The surprise preview of legion try-outs was a moment for television history. Minor quibbles: Not especially thrilled with seeing the Ranzz origin agian, but it was kept nicely short & let us see Ayla. Also, reaffirmed my feeling that the legion cruiser is an overwrought design.

BOTTOM LINE: Simply the best episode of the Legion cartoon so far. Cool fights, competing super-teams, family feuds, teen-aged romance, and Legion applicants. This one had it all, and did it all well. Yes, THIS, is what I had most hoped for in a Legion cartoon.

Sussa's blue hair and "Wave" code-name come from the "Legion On The Run" storyarc shortly before the 2boot. What did strike me as odd was calling the LSV's shapeshifter "Ron-Karr" instead of "Chameleon Chief".
Was Tyr voiced by the same actor who's playing Timber Wolf? They sounded very similar to me.

Tossin' in my two cents... great ep! I really dug the bits between Triplicate Girl and Bouncing Boy, and Brainiac 5's "bake sale" joke was probably the line of the show. I like how they set things up for the next ep with the try-outs... oooh, I just know that one is gonna be awesome. XD
The more I watch this show, the more I really like Lightning Lad. He's got a lot of development potential and the way they're handling things, there's more to him than we were shown at the start...they're just going little by little and it's the kind of thing I expect out of a good animated series. I also like the fact that, slowly but surely, they're building respect up between LL and Superman. What went on between LL and Saturn Girl was also a nice touch, I can definitely see the authorial intent for the pairing to head towards canon where the animated version is concerned.
An oh, TIMBERWOLF. He's rapidly becoming my second favorite. I didn't like him too much at first, but the guy is way too much fun to watch. (Plus the fangirl in me now thinks he has sexy feet and legs after his intro shot in this episode. LOL. Oh, brick me...)

Talks about Transformers too much. Likes robots with plenty of bling, er big guns!
