Awesome episode. I rank it right up there with the substitutes episode. I'll say no more because those in the CST,MST, and PST time zones have yet to see it. Don't miss it. It's a 9.5 on a scale of 0-10.

What an awesome episode!

Cosmic Boy, Colossal Boy, and Ferro Lad! All having crucial roles to play in the story.

Vi, Jan, Blok, Star Boy, Tyroc, Dream Girl (maybe some others but those are the ones I recall) all put in cameos via monitors for the elction!

And Chuck saves the day but now bears a heavy burden! Yay BB! [Bouncing Boy]

The only part I didn't care for was the conflict between the three Founders. This goes against everything in my Legion's Lore. Rokk, Imra, and Garth always stood together as one and that's in large part what made the Legion so special. Oh well, I guess the writers a pulling stuff from one of those fake boots ( [Big Grin] )

WARNING:MAJOR SPOILERIGE AHEAD.

This episode was THE AWESOME! Wow, where do I even begin?

Lightning Lad being a pretty good leader. Awesome.

Some more Bouncing/Triplicate girl and LL/Saturn girl shippage. Awesome.

Colassal boy, Cosmic Boy and Ferro Lad. Awesome.

Saturn girl calling Cosmic Boy on his crap. Awesome.

LL hugging his parents. Awwww.

The Easter eggs. Awesome.

Bouncing Boy telling everyone what to do and becoming team leader. AWESOME TIMES A THOUSAND!

Now I'll have to wait about a month for the two-parter. CRAP!

Another thoroughly enjoyable ep. that successfully mixed action, established Legion comic mythology, new Legion cartoon mythology and laughs (CB-1 meet CB-2). But, it left me with two questions: in the Ranzz family picture was Garth's twin a boy and who WAS that villian who appeared in the end?

I'm wondering if it was a rogue Controller?

At first, I thought I recognized him as one of Darkseid's guys, but I couldn't remember who. Then I went searching and realized he looks like Juggernaut. If Marvel's villains are crossing over into the 31st century, the Legion could be in real trouble. [Smile]

So we have a picture of Ayla now, but she was a no-show with their parents. Sounds like a second-season episode to me.

I really enjoyed the use of team dynamics in this one even if I, too, felt a bit uncomfortable about the founders fighting. This personality is definitely more the Cos of the current Legion.

And if you believe the press stuff, Lu isn't part of the core team, but she seems to be getting as much, if not more, screentime as Timber Wolf. (Maybe that means a four-pack figure!) I found LL's comment about admitting Ferro Lad without an audition interesting when that's what he did for TW, but at least others knew about TW.

No matter what, I'm having really high expectations for the finale two-parter now. I hope they can live up to them.

"I demand a recount!"

LOL

It bears repeating - AWESOME!!

Lightning Lad's last line gave me chills.

We saw Dreamy on the monitor during the voting. Have we seen her before?

Maybe the new villian is a Khund?

Man, this cartoon just gets better every week.

... Thaaat's not a boy, I reckon.

Whoa.
Can that be Roxxas?

I still think they're setting us up for the classic silver age story that introduces Ayla.

I love getting to see Ferro Lad,I hope like heck we get to see the induction of Karate Kid, Princess Projecrtra and Nemesis Kid before the inevitable Sun Eater story.

I wonder how Jim Shooter feels about seeing his legendary character added to the toon?
 
Posted by Malvolio on :
 
I'm guessing that villain at the end was a rogue Controller, since it's already been hinted that the Sun-Eater will be in the two part season finale.

I also liked how Ferro Lad hinted to Lightning Lad the reason why he wears a mask.

Now *that's* a cool idea; have LL blasted into a coma (instead of one of my all-time faves, Ferro Lad, getting killed) and have the season 2 opener the intro of Ayla, with LL coming back a couple of episodes into the season.

Any idea that keeps my boy Andy alive is a good one in my book.

Awesome episode! Cosmic Boy and Ferro Lad are 2 of my favourite Legionnaires and it was great to see them introduced! Hopefully we'll see more of them next season or in this season's finale. Sadly we have to wait until sometime in May (according to tv.com) to see the 2 parter. And if it's the story that I think it is, wow! They wouldn't dare kill off a Legionnaire, would they?

Possible villain for 2 parter seen at the end:
Rogue Controller
a Khund
Universo

My guess is that it's a Rogue Controller.

Sure, why not? They didn't shy away from it in the 60s when most of the readers were kids not much older than the target audience for the cartoon. I'm just wondering how many will die.

What a change of tone from last week.

Congats to Chuckie! I couldn't happen to a greater guy. I missed most of the faces on the monitors at his election. I caught Dream Girl and Element Lad. Who else?

I have to join the other voices who hate the founder triangle thing. It's an ugly part of the Legion that should remain buried in the past forever, imo. It seriously compromised my pleasure in the story and I can only hope they don't pursue it any further. (But chances are they will.)

WHY-nath has changed to WIN-ath, as it should be. Ayla's absence is most conspicuous and more than a little worrisome in its implications for LL's future, as others have noted.

I had hoped for more in-depth characterization for (the presumably soon-to-be-departed) Ferro Lad but he did good on his rookie mission.

The final scene -- I'm also going along with the theory it's a rouge Controller about to unleash the Sun Eater. The next two months of reruns will be absolute torture until we find out.
 
Posted by Razorsaw on :
 
I dunnow about what people are saying about the conflict between the three founders. :/ I mean, otherwise, Cosmic Boy would have just been superfluous in this episode - he wouldn't have affected any kind of drama. Just "Whee! Hi best friend/former leader!"
 
Posted by Sketch Lad on :
 
It just really felt like the Legion. Lots of characters, lots of action in the name of helping. Excellent characterization. I like the conflict between LL and Cos. It makes sense. Garth has a problem with the way Cos is doing things, so he says something. That's great. Cos doesn't back down. Potatoe, Potah-toe, let's call the whole thing Bouncing Boy!

Great to see Colossal Boy and Ferro Lad in action! Fanboy geek-out here! And, just to top that off....DREAMY!!!! Can't wait to see her *do* something, but I'll accept her holo-ing it in until then. (Nice to see the other cameos, too, including lil Ayla in the family portrait.)
 
Posted by The Man From Cargg on :
 
Best episode yet!

Lots of the Trips and Chuck interacting...loved the scene with just them and Superman in the ship. Echoes of the Lus two great loves.

Brainy to Colossal Boy "is that as small as you get"? And CBs comeback line.

Only quibble...Ferro Lad isn't shown to "iron up" his hands when using super strength.
 
Posted by Bouncing Boy 61 on :
 
OK now that the cats out of the bag I can comment more. Great to see Bouncing Boy as the new leader. I'm partial to him. That means he'll be in every episode now. Great to see Colossal Boy. He was great. "I demand a recount." Hilarious. Ferro Lad was cool too but I'd rather see more of Colossal Boy. Waiting for an episode that would be at least a 2 if not 4 parter having the entire LOH appear along with the substututes. Now that would be cool. Maybe next season. That would have something for everyone. Great epsiode all the way.

I agree with everyone; very good episode.

My guess for the mystery villain at the end? Zaryan. Isn't that about what his ship looked like?

Yeah, it bothered me that he was using super strength in non-iron form (why wouldn't he iron up anyway?)

"CB1" and "CB2"? That was cute. I don't mind the conflict between the Founding three - I've always appreciated the fact that a team this big would have tension.

I agree that this was probably the best episode yet (though I think Chuck's plan was a little too silver age in its gimmickry -- Superman could've dug that trench all on his own and I don't understand how a forrest fire can redirect a flood - that's not remotely possible is it?)

The 'toon continues to impress me with how the creators go the extra mile. Not only did they give us Cosmic Boy this time, but also Ferro Lad ... and a surprise election with a delightful result.

I liked the rounding out of some of the characters: Cos is the consummate boy scout, but he's overprotective of Imra (which justifiably annoys her); Garth has to deal with drama on two fronts: a threat to his leadership and concern for his family. The conflict between Cos and LL was pretty much what I expected, but it did bring out new aspects of their personalities. The reason for Cos' absence also ties in nicely with the current series, another example of how the 'toon weaves in aspects of every incarnation of the Legion.

But in spite of the homages to the past, the show seems determined to chart its own course. To wit, Chuck's ascension. I'm glad to see Bouncy getting his due, as well as to see the show veer off into a direction totally unexpected.

I was puzzled by Ayla's absence from the family reunion at the end. Oh well, a subplot never hurt anyone ...

Speaking of subplots, I have no idea who the mystery villain is. I vote for somebody new. Gotta have some new blood.

Here's hoping the 'toon charts another new course by having Ferro Lad stay around a bit longer this time and not turn into the shy, self-effacing Ferro of the last boot.
 
Posted by Mystery Lad on :
 
Wonder if Chameleon Boy will get to pop up and make a 'CB 3' crack?

I hope so.

I liked that Cosmic Boy's attitude towards Saturn Girl was a direct echo of the Adventure era's 'too dangerous for a girl' days. If only the animated SG were as sassy as Imra was back then.

The tension among the founders makes me want to see an 'origin of the LSH' episode. I hope they really make *that* story unique to the animated continuity.

Are non-Legion fans aware that those three are the founders? And has the Lightning Lad/Saturn Girl dynamic come across as a romance? Maybe Garth is just jealous... first of Timber Wolf, now of Cosmic Boy, who seemed genuinely surprised at Lightning Lad's attitude. I get the feeling Cos came in and behaved the way he would have before he took off for his long, apparently diplomatic, mission, not stopping to think that some things might've altered during his absence.

Loved the team facing a menace that didn't wear a costume or want to take over the world. LSH rescue stories are usually fun.

Of course, the election scene was a delightful surprise. Who would've predicted Chuck as leader? Even with his stellar moment in this episode? Did Trips vote three times?

With Garth, Imra, Jo and Tinya introduced in the animated universe, I'm quite surprised that it's the Luornu (have they said her name on air yet?)/Chuck romance that's 'hitting' first!

CW isn't part of our cable system, but is broadcast the old-fashioned way, in our area. It reminds me of when I was a kid and watched PBS on a fuzzy screen with weird little blackout spurts on windy days. So, I miss some of the background detail, like just who was present via holo in the election scene and the group scene at the end of last episode. I always look forward to the caps posted here, so I can 'catch up'.

Was there any indication of who voted for who? If not, I hope the producers/writers consider a more in-depth look at an election next time there's a change in leadership. That could be a source for some nice comedic touches, I'd think.

In the group scenes, is it my imagination, or is Element Lad always paired with Sun Boy? Interesting...

It seems there's a pattern forming... one episode is full of Easter eggs and new characters and fleshing out the LSH, followed by a lighter, self-contained episode. I like that approach-- though it appears it'll be thrown off by the upcoming multiple-parter.

Wow! I was surprised just how awesome this episode was!

Okay, Bouncy's actual plan was pretty hokey, but I can forgive that under the "It's writtend for kids" rubric.

And I totally think that's Zaryan at the end. What I'm guessing they're doing is mixing together the Zaryan/Sun-Eater stories, to provide more drama as to who will be killed in the finale.
 
Posted by Nightcrawler on :
 
This was the best episode yet for me. It had all of the elements that I love in a Legion story.

I hope they use this episode as a guide while writing next year's season.

Here are a couple of clips of the key scenes.
 
Posted by Invisible Brainiac on :
 
I loved it [Smile] Looks like Chuck (and Lu) are gonna get a lot more screen time in the season finale.

Love how all 9 Legionnaires in this Ep got their share of screen time - goes to show that a team this large can still be handled well.

I was hoping we'd see Ayla, but at least we know she exists.

Another minor quibble: BB said he needed Andy in the forest, but Andy didn't do anything there. Oh well, least Ferro Lad still got his time to shine.

Does Cos' overprotectiveness hint at a possible Garth-Imra-Rokk triangle?

Now just give us more T-Wolf in the next Ep and I'll be happy. And let Dream Girl and Violet do something onscreen in the finale; they're the last of the Legionnaires who made cameos in T-Wolf's induction who haven't been seen in action yet.

Awww. . . I was flipping through the thread, hoping no one else posted my guess. Ah, well.

But Zaryan is my guess as well. I think the cartoon creators know that most of us expect Ferro Lad to buy it in the Sun Eater episode, so I expect them to change things up and kill Lightning Lad instead.

His death sets up the introduction of Ayla next season, in an episode reminisent of her comics intro. If this is the plan, it helps to explain why we have not seen her yet, since the Legion needs to have not met her in order for her intro to "work."

Also, a Lightning Lad death is just the trigger needed for Saturn Girl to realize her full feelings for him, giving payoff to the season 1 flirtations.
 
Posted by Set on :
 
My thoughts exactly Portfolio Boy. But I don't think Lightning Lad will 'stay dead' anymore than he did in the comics.

I'm hoping for a 'Disney Death' where he's seen riding the Sun-Eater down a black hole or something and comes back mid-season with some fantastic tale of a death-defying last-minute escape.

'Cause anything to do with Proty and a weird 'life-force-transfer' machine? No thanks.

Killing Ferro Lad without any payoff about the mask comment would seem cheap, and I'm not seeing how it would be 'pay-off-able' without a dedicated episode, without seeming forced or short-changing the character.
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
YAY for Chuck!!

Sounds like I missed a good ep. I'm not stressing about it too much, as I intend to get the Season 1 DVD the instant it's released.

I've missed most of the eps... I've only seen the TW intro, Alexis Luthor and the Subs. Well, lots of new stuff awaits me.

DON'T wanna miss the finale 2-parter though, so someone scream like Tyroc the week before it airs!

I figure they'll either "kill" Lightning Lad, *or* kill off one of Triplicate Girl's bodies, giving us a heroic "death" while still allowing the character to continue, more or less... especially if it looks, at first, like we lose all three, *then* find out it was only one of her bodies.

As with your scenario of LL & SG, after seeing her "die" BB will no doubt voice how strongly he feels about her.

If we *have* to lose someone, I vote for someone we have more than one of. [Wink]
 
Posted by MLLASH on :
 
I *do* find it hard to believe we'll see an *actual* death in a kiddie-cartoon.

The loss of one of Lu's bodies seems to be the perfect "out" here... death but NOT dead after all.

Still, I'm hoping either Ferro Lad buys it-- keeping with LSH history-- or, even better, Garth 'gets it' and returns midway through S2.

Maybe; I took that another way, however.

Remember, from the "Timberwolf" episode, Lightning Lad and Bouncing Boy had seen Saturn Girl's "healing trance" before. And SG made a remark in this newest episode about being better able to take care of herself than she used to be.
I'm thinking SG has been injured on Legion missions before, maybe more than once, leading Cosmic Boy (somewhat understandably, especially if he felt personally responsible for SG having gotten hurt) to think of her as someone who needs looking after in physically dangerous situations. And because Cosmic Boy has been away so long, he is not aware that this is ... at least, less true than it once was.

I *hope* this is the case, as it would be further evidence that the producers & story editors of the show have given thought to the backstory of "their" version of the Legion, with individuals and relationships that have changed over time.
 
Posted by Kid Quislet on :
 
1) Great, great episode - the best yet in the series. It had everything - action, romance, adventure. New Legionnaires (to new viewers) are introduced, Colossal Boy and Triplicate Girl get some more air time. Superman is there, but doesn't take over - even getting sidelined for a while, and works well with the rest of the team. And a Legion election!

2) Glad to hear a second season is definite!

3) Wonder what the young people think of this series? As a seven year old Batman fan, I was captivated from my first Legion story by the various colorful characters and variety of abilities. Hopefully, youngsters think this series
is as fascinating as I thought of the Legion then and still do now.
 
Posted by DrakeB3004 on :
 
It's awesome to see a non-wimpy Ferro Lad again. I hope he doesn't buy it in the Sun-Eater ep. It wouldn't surprise me if they killed him though -- dying in an explosion would still be a lot less traumatic than the way Darkseid killed Turpin in the Superman show and that's supposed to be for kids too.

Thank god we get a two month break. I'm four episodes behind as it is. And they are burning a hole in my TiVo. Can't wait to watch this one.

In "Champions," it's pronounced Why-nath.

Maybe everyone else pronounces it WHY-nath, but if you live there or grew up there, you pronounce it WIN-ath.

was I the only one to notice ALL the TWINS on Winath? I mean, as the people were running from the shelter, people who looked EXACTLY alike running in pairs together. it's like, there's some genetic trait specific to Winath that makes twins so much more frequent. guess that made Mekt a bit lonely and left out.

Actually, there is. In the comics(and apparently in the show), on Winath everyone is born with a twin, and anyone born without a twin is a rarity, which is why Mekt was considered an outcast(and probably part of the reason why he became a criminal).
 
Posted by Tekwych on :
 
Twins are the norm on Winath in every version of the LSH to date. A single child, like Mekt, is assumed to have something wrong with them.
 
Posted by Malvolio on :
 
I think the whole Ranzz family is that way. Since fraternal twins are merely a coincidence of timing while identical twins are the true genetic anomaly. Or at least, it's an anomaly for us on Earth. On Winath, it's the other way around, and they give a pass for Garth and Ayla, but deep down, they must realize that they're not the same as everyone else.

I mean, I've never seen any other sets of boy/girl twins in any issue of Legion taking place on Winath. It's always been two male twins or two female, never one of each.

They aren't as common, but in Legends of the Legion, Ayla had a pair of fraternal twins for friends. That's the only time I can recall, though.

(Though lordy knows I love the Ranzz siblings and their issues.)
 
Posted by Tamper Lad on :
 
The fact that they are boy/girl fraternal twins as opposed to identical or even same sex fraternal twins affects the way they developed.

Ayla's historical portrayals can be interpreted through this lens quite well.

Then there's the bizzare Mekt-Garth-Ayla triangle that's always been around.

You're right. I remember that now. I stand corrected.

Let us not forget Blane and Sarya Gulz in Legion Worlds #2. Even their parents couldn't tell them apart!

If Ferro Lad dies will he be a first super-hero to permanently bite the dust in DC cartoons? I seem to remember characters like Flash and Batgirl dying in dreams and parallel realities, but not for real, and other characters appearing to die but coming back later. I guess Terra in TTG, but she was a villain, sort of.
