A superman/Brainiac 5 checker set. Huh. I want one! This episode looks like it has so much potential. I hope the writers didn’t drop the ball.

Now I'm worried for Brainy. He "died" saving Superman in the first episode of the season, I have to wonder if his VR death was intentional foreshadowing.

Something else else I wonder if before Message in a Bottle if Brainy "saved" himself like he did back in Fear Factory before getting letting Brainac 1.0 loose within himself.

Good observation. Then again the corrupt code of Brainiac 1.0 could have taken that into account and formulated a back-up plan to corupt the back-up.

yeah but they made it a point to show him doing it last time, we never saw brainy do that when he encountered B-1.0

Witch has gotten me all levels of annoyed, Brainy is supposed to be smart, he A} did not back up his file when he encountered B-1.0, and B} will turn evil due to slight argument with superman

Maybe it'll be Brainy's trump card. That's why they didn't mention it.

Brainiac 1.0 used Imperiex as a pawn in his plan to corrupt Brainiac Five. Kind of makes Imperiex look like a chump, doesn't it?

Good epsiode. I just think that after all the trouble Imperiex caused, They could have made his death a little more dramatic. He was finished too quickly. Still though a very good episode.

It wouldn't surprise me if Imperiax isn't quite done yet.

The episode was okay, but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. I believe I saw Chemical King in the group shot? That should make a few people here happy.

I thought I saw Stone Boy for next week's episode...again I am not 100 % certain. Can't wait for the final episode and I really hope for the return of Triplicate Girl's 3rd body and Brainiac 5. *finger crossing*

Overall, the episode is not that bad...just a beginning of the first part. not bad.

I thought the episode was really exciting. I was actually chilled/thrilled by evil, powerful Brainic 5! It really did turn this whole Imperiex plot into a Brainac plot.

Just... wow!

Loved the cameos left and right!

One minor whine.... no girls in the training session! Oh well, they were in the cameos and Saturn Girl actually had lines.

After a great episode like this, I feel even sadder about the series being over. Wah!

Wow, that was krazy. I loved it!

I don't believe Clark is really dead but what if Kell were destined to replace him as Superman in the 21st century? Just a weird thought.

So far so good. Yup I caught the Chemical King cameo.

Nice tie up from the season opening with Kell saying Brainiac 5 went bad. In the preview, we saw a couple of Legionnaires getting digitized. So Brainiac 5 does need to get redeemed.

My minor pickiness: they kept calling the Khunds "Dominators".

In the promo for next week I'm pretty sure I saw Stone Boy & Chloraphyl Kid. Didn't see Chemical King, that would be great if made it into the last episode.

Lots of cameos during Cos' speech. I paused the different shots and spotted Chemical King, Dawnstar, Invisible Kid II, and XS all with Legion buckles. Polar Boy was there too (but I didn't spot a buckle), along with all five toon Subs. All Legionnaires were present, minus Nemesis Kid. Poor boy gets no love no matter what side of the fence he's on.

I'm excited about XS' presence, minor as it is. I believe it's the first time a postboot exclusive Legionnaire has appeared outside that reality.

The scene where Brainy knocks Vi out and her hair flower floats to the ground made me sad. Poor thing. I'm such a toon Vi fanboy.

I thought the episode was decent. I didn't see the Imperiex betrayal coming, which was a nice surprise among the unsurprising galactic war we've been geared for since the season started.

Twists like that as well as the different Legionnaires running around in the background always make an episode for me even if the main story is less than stellar. Luckily, this ep wasn't bad on its own at all.

I don't have any way to properly digitize my DVR recording, but I do have a digital camera. Most of the scenes were scrolling shots on top of me taking these with a camera, so the quality is horrible. BUT. It'll give you a peek at them until you can see the episode yourself.

I haven't posted images to this board in years, so let me know if I mess anything up (or need to take anything down).

The best views we got of Chemical King and Dawnstar respectively:

And the team shot. XS, Ultra Boy, Jacques, and Proty(!) who I didn't catch before on Cham's shoulder are on the right. I'm also trying to convince myself that's Lydda and her bouffant behind Imra and next to Color Kid.

To bad this show will end before we get a chance to see Wildfire ,I think "One Shot Legionnaire" would have made for a great episode.


I tried to rip their soul out.I tried to make them forget Superman.
But they won't.
