Since we have a promo clip and a preview clip already available for next week's episode might as well get the ball rolling and not get the comments for Brain Drain all mixed up with Lightning Storm.
Below are the links provided by Suddenly Seymour (in the Brain Drain thread) for the clip and preview to Lightning Storm.

I bet LightSpeed Vanguard is just a phoney name the LSV use to trick LL into joining them. They got the right acronym, at least.

They never actually call themselves the Legion of Super-Villains in the episode. I have a feeling that if they are called that at all, it will be the media that gives them that name, sort of like the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in the X-Men.

ok wasn't to crazy about them portraing Tyr as a "B.A.M.F" Mr.T type. and at first i though that Ron Karr was Chameleon king. (i though all Ron Karr could do was make himself super-thin?) but i did like seeing Gim even though he wasn't around for long and of course seeing Invisiable Kid 2 gave me a Saturday morning "Joygasim"

The best part of this episode was spotting all the characters at the Legion try-outs, seeing Lu again and seeing her and Chuck connecting.
The worst part was the ridiculous giant squid at the beginning. Why didn't Saturn Girl try to control its brain as Esper Lass ended up doing? Are you telling me Superman can't break free of some undercooked calamari? Or Lightning Lad?
I don't think the LSV needs Hunter AND Tyr...kind of redundant but I liked Hunter's Aussie accent...not so much Tyr's accent...which sounded like Shaft. Why not just have a black character?

Well, I liked all the characterizations! This episode was just what I hoped. I didn't know the Tryers Out would be there this ep, so I was thrilled to see Infectious Lass and Plant Lad and all the Subs. Porcupine Pete even had lines! Breath Boy was SO funny! Classic! We even got to see another Lightning Beast and Lil Ayla! Thrills!
I agree that the Legion did come across as Super Lame fighting that squid in the beginning. They could have shown them mess up some other way. But that was fine. The later battle made up for it. They really do a great job with the action sequences in this show!
Big thumbs up from me! Can't wait til *next* week, with the try outs!

At first, I had the same problems with the giant squid, but then I figured that Saturn Girl and Superman could have gone all out, but they didn't want to hurt an animal who was only following its nature. 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.
