I hear that. It seems the fez went out of fashion for bad guys with the end of WWII.
So in one episode we get two half baked Legion tie-ins to the JLU (even though Booster wasn't wearing a flight ring) I'm definitely down for more of that.

This one was working my pause button, that's for sure.
Not being a huge fan of Booster Gold, I kept wanting to see and hear more of the larger battle.
I liked Booster here more than I have in his last couple of appearances in comics. I really wish they'd drawn in the Legion flight ring, though... or mentioned the 31st century in connection with Mordru, somehow (esp. since he's wearing *that* look... though I guess he isn't really connected *to* the Legion yet...).
I thought the last scene, with Booster kissing the lady scientist, while a lone Elongated Man looked on... or walked by? somewhat off-putting, in light of IDENTITY CRISIS.
I enjoyed the walking black hole guy (Chunk?)... esp. the encounter with the magically-animated building. That was fun. So was Skeets... at least in this small dose.
CAMEO ROLL CALL: Star and S.T.R.I.P.E., Captain Atom, Hawk, Dove, Fire, Ice, Vigilante... I know there were others in addition to the 'speaking parts' for Booster Gold and Elongated Man.

this episode totaly ROCKED!!!! cameos gallor and Booster Gold getting treated like the Roodney Dangerfield of the JLA. hey it was even cool to see Skeets. the "dissing" of Elongated Man was kind of cold but funny and it proved that even in the 21 century that Mordru is a threat not to be taken lightly. although i still have a problem taking anyone wearing a winged fez very seriously!!! i gotta say that so far this new series has not dissapointed me, wayto go JLU!!!!

Once I got past my Legion fan boy-ness (seeing Modru, looking for the flight ring, trying to find any other legion "easter eggs") and into the meat of the episode, I was pretty pleased.
How can you not root for the "Green Lantern" in this episode? Probably my second favorite episode of the season after the turned-into-kids one.

The only drawback is that since Mordru is obviously a very serious enemy (since so many Leaguers were needed to fight him), I wish we could have seen more of the battle.
Oh well.

I loved they way they handled Booster, and seeing the return of Skeets was great..
And i don't know about you guys, but seeing a 7 foot tall, all-powerful wizard with a winged fez is pretty scary!! I'm not gonna tell 'im he can't wear it...
Did ya see the 'Composite Man'?? Nice Legion nod... sure wish we got to see the flight ring though...

Are you talking about the half Superman-half Batman with the Wonder Woman voice? I'm not so sure that is a nod to Legiondom. I think (and I'm no comics historian here) that the Composite Man is actually a Legion take/update on a World's Finest story that features the Composite Superman. It happened way before the Legion's Composite Durlan.

The Silver Age Composite Man was also tied into the Legion. He got his powers through some incident involving Superman's collection of Legionnaire statues. I think he was the janitor in the Superman museum and some alien hit the statue with rays that gave him all the Legionnaire's powers.
I thought it was a really fun episode. "We've already got one stretchy guy."

Wahoo! We finally got to see Kyle again in this ep. He even looked & acted more like himself. There were a bunch of new cameos. I'm intriqued with where they might go with Amazo.

Much as I liked seeing Kyle - with them finally getting his hair colour right to boot! - I didn't like the GL suit redesigns. I would have preferred it if they'd all stuck with the John-suit template.

Yeah, Katma's suit looked really odd. Like she suddenly started dressing similar to the Slave-girl Leia outfit she wore in the Despero ep last season.

Amazo sure seems to be showing up in a lot of stories lately. btw, that looked like a follow up story to something that had happened previously. Did I miss an Amazo vs. the JLA episode or something?

Yup - "Tabula Rasa" (although he's never called "Amazo" in the story. Or this one.).
