It wouldn't surprise me if Imperiax isn't quite done yet.
The episode was okay, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. I believe I saw Chemical King in the group shot? That should make a few people here happy.

I thought I saw Stone Boy for next week's episode...again I am not 100 % certain. Can't wait for the final episode and I really hope for the return of Triplicate Girl's 3rd body and Brainiac 5. *finger crossing*
Overall, the episode is not that bad...just a beginning of the first part. not bad.

I thought the episode was really exciting. I was actually chilled/thrilled by evil, powerful Brainic 5! It really did turn this whole Imperiex plot into a Brainac plot.
Just... wow!
Loved the cameos left and right!
One minor whine.... no girls in the training session! Oh well, they were in the cameos and Saturn Girl actually had lines.
After a great episode like this, I feel even sadder about the series being over. Wah!
I don't believe Clark is really dead but what if Kell were destined to replace him as Superman in the 21st century? Just a weird thought.

So far so good. Yup I caught the Chemical King cameo.
Nice tie up from the season opening with Kell saying Brainiac 5 went bad. In the preview, we saw a couple of Legionnaires getting digitized. So Brainiac 5 does need to get redeemed.
My minor pickiness: they kept calling the Khunds "Dominators".

In the promo for next week I'm pretty sure I saw Stone Boy & Chloraphyl Kid. Didn't see Chemical King, that would be great if made it into the last episode.

Lots of cameos during Cos' speech. I paused the different shots and spotted Chemical King, Dawnstar, Invisible Kid II, and XS all with Legion buckles. Polar Boy was there too (but I didn't spot a buckle), along with all five toon Subs. All Legionnaires were present, minus Nemesis Kid. Poor boy gets no love no matter what side of the fence he's on.
I'm excited about XS' presence, minor as it is. I believe it's the first time a postboot exclusive Legionnaire has appeared outside that reality.
The scene where Brainy knocks Vi out and her hair flower floats to the ground made me sad. Poor thing. I'm such a toon Vi fanboy.
I thought the episode was decent. I didn't see the Imperiex betrayal coming, which was a nice surprise among the unsurprising galactic war we've been geared for since the season started.
Twists like that as well as the different Legionnaires running around in the background always make an episode for me even if the main story is less than stellar. Luckily, this ep wasn't bad on its own at all.

I don't have any way to properly digitize my DVR recording, but I do have a digital camera. Most of the scenes were scrolling shots on top of me taking these with a camera, so the quality is horrible. BUT. It'll give you a peek at them until you can see the episode yourself.
I haven't posted images to this board in years, so let me know if I mess anything up (or need to take anything down).
The best views we got of Chemical King and Dawnstar respectively:
And the team shot. XS, Ultra Boy, Jacques, and Proty(!) who I didn't catch before on Cham's shoulder are on the right. I'm also trying to convince myself that's Lydda and her bouffant behind Imra and next to Color Kid.

To bad this show will end before we get a chance to see Wildfire ,I think "One Shot Legionnaire" would have made for a great episode.

Depending on the image, I think it's Stone Boy or Phantom Girl. I'd love to see Shady though. I get why Jeckie or Mon would be redundant, but I'm at a loss for why the series never picked up on a Legionnaire with a visual power and alien coloring like her.
Also, I'm wondering if that's Proty at all or just Jo's arm now. I'd love for it to be the little guy, random as it is.

I will get a better look at the preview when the Legion episode get uploaded (check You Tube there is a cat there is uploading the shows). but I think it was some pretty major characters that get nailed and ones he worked with before.
If that is the case then the day might be saved by those we have not see Brainy work with before. That would leave the following members: Blok, Element Lad, Sun Boy, Dawnstar, Chemical King, Tyroc, Invisible Kid.....

Wow, I don't really have much to say about this episode except, despite the girls being little more than cameos...again(though SG did have that one line), this was easily one of the best episodes of the series.
My favorite moment?
Brainiac 5 "deleting" Imperiex = TOTAL PWNAGE
