A new episode, a new thread. Here is the synopsis and preview images I received from the WB for the conclusion to the two part season premier.
"Legion of Super Heroes" concludes its two-part season premiere, entitled "The Man From The Edge Of Tomorrow," on September 29 at 11:00 a.m. ET/PT as part of the Kids' WB! Lineup on The CW Network. In the episode, the Legion has returned from the 41st century with Kell-El, a genetically-enhanced Superman clone. But Imperiex, the destroyer of galaxies, has reached the 31st century first -- and unleashed all of the Legion's greatest enemies. To restore order and combat this near-invincible foe, the Legion will once again turn to the past for help in the form of an older, more mature Superman with far greater grasp of his powers.

Are all those images from the second part? Cuz Lu looks like she's got three parts of herself ...

This was a phenomenal episode -- possibly the best episode yet, though it has a lot of competition. The Chuck/Lu scenes were very sweet. And I applauded my ass off when Superman-X showed up to save the day.
I just wish we'd seen more of Blok or the other Legionnaires imprisoned on Takron-Galtos. And where was Ultra Boy?

SPOILER ALERT! - - - - - - - - - I particularly liked what happened to Matter Eater Lad after he ate the Emerald Eye. A reference to his eating the Miracle Machine back in the day.
Oh, and who caught the reference to Chameleon Boy's "rich father?"

loved the 2nd episode....and saw a new look on Shrinking violet's costume - like that design. cool one. Yeah I wonder where is Ultra Boy?
Poor Saturn Girl - got KOed by Esper Lass. Cham - *snickers* he gets ignored and not appreciated so went on fighting Ronn-Karr (somehow I kept thinking that it should be Beast Boy who should be there instead of Ronn Karr...hmmm).
Trip now Duo will get a karate lesson soon from a certain best combat fighter in DC Universe.

Some big Legion guns down for the count, HQ in ruins, Computo sabotaged and the Legion cruiser blown to smithereens -- now, that's what I call upping the ante! I bet the new ship will serve as a mobile HQ as well as a transport.
I'm glad they didn't resolve the Duo Damsel situation and wrap everything up in a neat, little package. The Supermen didn't hog all the screen time, either, leaving room for some good character moments for Duo, Bouncie, Lightning Lad and Phantom Girl, as well as Esper and the Empress. Cham is still an irritant but at least he gave Ron-Karr a run for his money.
I hope taking Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy and Colossal Boy out of the game for a while means we'll get to spend more time with some of the lesser seen Legionnaires. Tenzil shouldn't have to leave so soon, though. A little insanity never hurt anybody.

Okay, seriously, why isn't anyone talking about this episode? This was probably the best episode so far. Everything from the fight scenes, explosions, and character interactions was...dare I say it...SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME! These would have to be some of the best moments...
Matter-Eater Lad eating Emerald Empress's eye
The legionnares at the hospital. I like how this show makes it clear that just because these people have superpowers doesn't mean they are invincible(Or at least that's how I see it)
The Legion: Superman! Kell-El: What!?!
Superman's reunion with the Legion. Awww. BB/Duo Damsel moments. Double awwwww.
Brainy:This is going to hurt. *SHIP EXPLODES*
And of course... THE BATMAN REFERENCE!
There are a just a few concerns...
They should cut it out with the "NOOO"'s, it gets kind of annoying after the first few times.
Not really caring about Chameleon Boy for the moment, but hopefully that will change over the course of the season.
I also hope Saturn Girl wakes up within the next couple of episodes, because if they plan on keeping her in a coma through the whole season, that would really suck. And there's also the issue with the destroyed HQ, a nearly burned down Metropolis, all that stuff.
Next week: A TIMBERWOLF EPISODE!

I did like this episode much better than the first part.
Although, I was thinking while watching "Why isn't someone, say Duo Damsel, trying to free the others in the cells?"

I love how this season is one continual storyline.
Wow, the characterization is great! LL brooding over felled SG. I look forward to her awakening and having them express their undying love.
Alright, big ol' softy moment... my eyes watered when Duo Damsel stood in front of the mirror, attempting to simulate having a third. Thank you Chuck for offering to be their "third."
Can't wait til Dreamy is more than just a pretty face (and hair) in the background.
Hmmm.... the ad for next week's "Cry Wolf" episode reminds me of the Kolins cover for this month's S&LSH comic.
