You can see the promo the stills are from here. I actually offered to send Rob the stills this past Saturday but he already had a set he wanted to use today.

OMFG YES! That is EXACTLY the kind of thing I have been waiting for. If the episode actually gets into that territory and does a good job of it, I may be here on the boards later today geeking out like a total maniac. You have been warned. XD

I thought the episode was very entertaining. It just felt like all the characters were in the groove. Very comfortable, which is a good thing. Crazy Brainy was pretty dang funny, and the fact that the head and body were separated made for more fun.
SPOILER!
Basically, Brainy let Superman know that he won't be able to tell him the details about his life (like the fact that his powers won't work unless he's under a red sun), that he needs to find things out on his own. Imagine what that must feel like, to know someone who knows your future, but won't tell you. That'd surely be a reason to keep one's distance, just because of the aggravation. IMO.

I liked this episode, but one line really made it for me:
I want my cocoa!

Timberwolf's, back, YAY! He kicked a lot of ass in this episode, and had a few good lines...
TW: The last time I went through one of these things, I lost my tail.
*Legionnares look shocked*
TW: Kidding...
I was kind of disapointed that since the episode took place on Timberwolf's home planet, I thought we were going to delve into his past a little more, but idiot Brainy TOTALLY made up for it, and his body reaking havoc was just as fun! And Although conveniantly finding a robot suit and using it MIGHT have been a cheap way to destroy the droids and stuff, I still love it whenever Superman uses future weapons, it makes him look all badass!
But I do have a question, if Saturn girl was only dealing with Brainiac5's BODY, than how was she able to create illusions in it's MIND?

Yeah, I was thinking Koko, too, which I think makes it funnier.
I thought it was a very fun episode. If they'd been smart, they'd have listened to Brainy's nutty clues about the red sun.
So Timber Wolf doesn't have a flight ring? He reminded Superman of his, but kept running instead of flying ahead with him. That didn't make any sense to me.
Other than that, I liked the episode. Brainy must not be all machine since Saturn Girl was able to use her thought-illusion power on his body. And I hope they had the forethought to grab that hunk of Zoonium for the next time Brainy goes through p'onfar, or whatever it was they called it.
I wound up watching "The Batman" and was a bit bummed the Legion didn't appear in it since half of it took place in 3027. At least it looked like that may have been Interlac on the guy's wrist display, but it was too small to be sure. The Legion would have cooked Freeze's goose.

I took it to be "I want my Koko". Wasn't that the little white monkey obsessed with Brainy a couple of incarnations ago?
It probably was "Koko". I've gotten into the habit of watching TV with the captions turned on and it said "cocoa", but whoever does these captions seems not to know much about Legion lore (it referred to "Kaluans" and "Zune" instead of Coluans and Zuun), so Koko does make more sense.
Either way, it was funny.

I loved this episode! It was almost like Brainy was channeling my spirit except i'm not dead.
My fav line(s) was
"I don't wanna go! I've decided I don't trust machines! Especially this one! It doesn't like me! I can tell!"
Did anyone notice Colossal Boy in the preview for next week? (at the very beginning, you have to be quick) They also mentioned the episode "Child's Play" but they haven't aired it yet!

The LSV (Light Speed Vanguard, not Legion of Super-Villains) appears next week. In addition to Colossal Boy, it also looks like Triplicate Girl is back too. And with the shots of the LSV, it appears that Ronn-Karr is a shapeshifter, not merely Flat Stanley.
I wasn't sure if it was "Koko" or "Cocoa" either. I thought of Cocoa first, then thought, "wait a second, did they reall mean Koko? No, they wouldn't... would they?"

Mekt is using the name Lightning Lord though. At least according to the file I extracted from the KidsWB site for the extended promo.

Well, in her very first appearance (comic book-wise. when she only had the power of thought-casting) Saturn Girl was able to control a robotic mind. Give that Brainy's body was continuing to operate (and in the crazy manner) it would appear that there was some mind/intelligence which Saturn Girl could affect.

the captions are NOT always 100 percent accurate as many people thought that it was. I have repeatedly pointed out that there are many mistakes/errors on captioning....the captions are more like hmmm 88 percent right but not 12 percent right.
back to the topics - I liked the episode - the tone was light and simple. This is the first time we have seen B5 being comical and Lightning Lad/Saturn Girl dynamic was great with a little hint of romantic between them. "How Zuun" - Ha! No one thought of that line.
