I enjoyed it. I also thought that the Legion was trying to arrest Dream Girl. Couple nitpicks: her voice wasn't all that interesting. It sounds like the same person who voices Saturn Girl, Duo Damsel, and several other female characters. Which I guess is okay, I was just hoping it would be more distinctive.

Also, Lightning Lad's little fit every time it was mentioned how important her power was, was kind of annoying. Necessary perhaps, but annoying. But that's typical LL I guess...

Can't wait for next week! It's sad to think that these are the last two new episodes of the Legion show. frown

I thought it was a really solid episode. The voice was definitely a disappointment, but I really like the Madam Mysterious background.

BEST episode ever!!

Yes I did wish her voice would be more distinctive - she was still great! I would have liked to see her kick someone in the head too! LOL

I hope she at least makes a cameo in the ending 2-parter.

I really hope Nick Toons or Cartoon Network picks up the show like they did with JLA & Batman.

Madame Mysterious = Miss Terious.

This was a great episode. Solid writing. I also enjoyed the Superman-less aspect of the episode. Needed, otherwise the Dark Circle's trap would have been useless (although technically, Brainy does have his force shield) I loved how the Dark Circle tried to make use of the Legion's dependance on Dream Girl's power and how Brainy countered her power. It reminded me of her first appearance where she foresaw the Legionnaires dying in a space ship blowing up and it turned out to be replicas of the Legionnaires.

I am looking forward to the 2 part series finale. I wonder if Nemesis Kid will be revealed as a traitor.

Wow. I didn't notice the no-Supes angle until coming here. They are definitely not missed or needed. Too bad other episodes (or even the entire series) couldn't have come to that conclusion sooner. Maybe the Legion wouldn't have been canceled.

My only complaint was that the animation seemed rushed and not as crisp or inventive as it had in the past. Er...and my second complaint is that Dream Girl was never on an actual mission. Why wasn't she fighting against the Dark Circle? It would have helped us know why the Circle even knew that about Dream Girl's visions.

EXACTLY! That's what I caught...at first I was puzzled - "Madame Mysterious?" and I became obsessive on that until the episode was over. I wrote down "Madame Mysterious?" then I was thinking back to the old Adv. Comics where Star Boy and Dream Girl was masqueraded as Sir Prize and Miss Terious and then my light bulb brightened and I got it! Miss Terious and Madame Mysterious ! *sigh* actually I like that one better than Miss Terious because it made sense to me. The staff really did their homework.

I second that! I really think the 2 Supermen took too much of the spotlight in the cartoon. We especially didn't need 2 of them. The clone Superman should have just been there for that particular arc and not stayed around.

Glad Star Boy is being used more.

Very good episode. I liked how Dreamy was a very strong character throughout the episode. sighs....shame this series is going to end before its time...

It looks like from the previews that Brainy is going to be a traitor. That seed was already planted in "Message in the Bottle". This should make things very interesting because losing Brainy will deprive the Legion of their best strategist. Brainy is probably the only one that could make something up to cancel out of the Legion powers.

I thought it was an outstanding episode! Of course I'm madly in love with Dreamy, but the story was really well told, with great characterization, action and nods to the past.

Believe it or not, I'm glad Dreamy wasn't all vampy and flirty. I quite liked that she had a questionable past, but is now making amends for it. LL's distaste for her is consistent with how he feels about others on the show, namely the subs and Cos. On the other hand, I like how Star Boy and TWolf seem to be such fans of her, based on her skills.

I totally noticed the lack of Supermen, but I was literally thinking to myself, "What ever happened with the big bad guy?" Then the ad for the big 2 parter came on! Heh.

I would love to see this series go on for years. We surely know that there's enough material. However, it might as well go out with a bang. If it goes into syndication (like on Cartoon Network) is there still a chance for merchandise, etc to happen?

Oh yeah, standard young superheroine voice. That's okay though, better than an annoying voice.

This was a great episode, and Dream Girl did rawk! The other thing I have to say is the Dark Circle rawked as well! Their look, especially with the batwings/parachutes was awesome! First Grimbor, now the Dark Circle. But it makes me angrier that they made Mordru a joke.


...but you don't have a moment where you're sitting there staring at a table full of twenty-five characters with little name signs that say, "Hi, my superpower is confusing you!"

It was fun to see Ontir, too. Though I was expecting him to double-cross somebody or other.

Loved the Madame Mysterious bit-- wonder if there'll ever be a Senor Surprise to match?

I really enjoyed this episode.

Great to see Dream Girl kick some booty. I sort of wish she hadn't had to don a battle suit to beat Brainy, but I guess that's what it'd take against *this* Brainiac 5.

I've always thought that Dream Girl's dreams could provide even *more* fodder for storylines than they ever really did.

I liked the conundrum of making events look like Nura's dream without making her dream come true in the way that would've been disastrous. I do wonder how Brainy knew what positions to take to make the Dream Dream Girl had when *away* from the LSH's computers come true?

Dream Girl's voice is a bit of an issue. Would we be able to distinguish it if another LSH gal (besides Violet) appears? In a couple of lines, the actress went a bit lower. Perhaps that should be Dream Girl's voice.

She looked terrific, though. Would you describe her eyes as sort of light purple? Or a purplish gray?

One little detail I liked was in the meeting scene in which Timber Wolf and Star Boy were playing 'finger football'... even when the POV became a long shot.

This marks the first time I've enjoyed a Dark Circle story in the slightest since the other Ontir appearance, which I liked mainly for the turncoat and the guest-stars (Supergirl and Dev-em and Emerald Empress).

Perhaps somebody else besides Lightning Lad can distrust the next questionable character? If their distrust is misplaced, that is.

I'm in denial about the series ending, so I keep commenting as if it's going to be going on forever. If there isn't a reprieve or a network switch, I guess the comic will fill the hole.

dude, serious precognition faux pas smile ...
Brainy just knew that anything he did would end up retroactively in the dream.

I have to say, even out of all the comics, this was the most brilliant strategy I ever saw used to foil precognition, and he thought of it on the spot...now THERE's a clever Brainy!

One thing I'll add, I thought Dream Girl seemed a lot more powerful in this ep. than in the comic, which I now realize is because: here, they immediately establish that the future can be changed after seeing her visions, while in the comic, they always played the visions as an inevitability, so that their value was limited to things that would simply alter the interpretation of the vision...

I like this version better...I guess you could say that the future is fixed until contaminated by itself, than all bets are off.

Still you have to wonder...if The Dark Circle hadn't seen Dream Girl's dream, would Brainy have noticed that they were fighting as though they had, and would he then have even thought of intentionally setting up the projection of the regrouping mistake?

Headache(!) ... better than thinking of the ending of this show, though... sniff.. frown

Watching this ep was almost like reading an old Adventure comic. 50 years later, the formula still works.

So why hasn't Garth had a problem with Nemesis Kid the way he has with so many other Legionnaires??? His "trust" radar is definitely on the fritz!!

I'm so glad my fave Legionnaire, Dream Girl, finally showed up! And the episode didn't disappoint! I'd have liked it if she had been out on the fighting lines with the guys, but I did like how she fought off the whole team. This animated version of Dreamy is probably one of my favorite interpretations of the series--especially as far as the women are concerned; I've never really liked the weird way Saturn Girl and Phantom Girl are drawn.
