As a very long time Legion fan, I am so looking forward to this episode. Clark meets Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy, the three founding members of the Legion of Super-Heroes.
DAMN YOU FOR TELLING ME ABOUT THIS!
Now I have to watch it, and Mrs. Rhymer will mock me. Or ask her to program the Tivo for me, in which case she’ll mock me twice. 
Maybe I’ll be lucky and whoever’s playing Imra will be hot enough to justify the mockery.
Thanks for the heads up. Is Supernatural on tonight too?
Clark promised Martian Manhunter he’d find a way to get his powers back. Wonder if he will?
Where did the show leave off anyway?
Since I adore the LSH, I’m awfully tempted to use this as my lame excuse to not go swim laps tonite while it is 0°F out… On the other hand, it is Smallville, and thus will be a crushing disappointment no matter how low my expectations are…
There was an article about it in this week’s TV Guide. In one of those odd coincidences of life, the actor playing Rokk Krinn (Cosmic Boy) is Ryan Kennedy. Get it? Same initials.
Yeah, but who’s playing Imra Ardeen? What damsel could be fair enough?
ETA: I decided to avail myself of Google like a big boy. “Alexz Johnson.” Lord, I hate that name.
Yep, Supernatural is back too. That’s two hours of snuggling with my baby.
When last we saw, Smallville, Chloe’s wedding to Jimmy Olsen had been rudely interrupted by the arrival of Doomsday. We also saw something hinting that Lex is alive (which was a reasonable assumption anyway).
Ah, okay. I remember now. So, when we left off, [spoiler]Clark got his ass handed to him, but there was kryptonite involved, so not a totally fair fight.
Doomsday has the hots for Chloe even in his strong dumb form, but it’s unclear why he’s apparently doing Brainiac’s bidding.
Chloe is reinfected with Brainiac I guess.
I totally could tell that wasn’t Michael Rosenbaum’s bald head, but obviously it was supposed to be Lex.[/spoiler]
So you know nothing about football and don’t know how to program Tivo. I am starting to see through your barbarian warrior facade. 
In my defense, Kim may have hidden the manual from me in a power move.
Besides–well, read the sig!
He is Skald the Rhymer, not Vlad the Impaler.
I personally wanted Ultra Boy to show up, but hey, Legion. I’m easy. Wonder if they’ll openly use their powers or keep it in the Super-closet like Clark. For a guy who wants to help people, he has a pretty dim view of them, doesn’t he?
I think Clark has come around to the super hero team idea, but he’s not big on costumes and his reasons for not joining them are always “complicated.” He’s always been obsessed with not getting others hurt by revealing himself. Plus, you really can’t blame him for not wanting to run around with his underwear on the outside.
I actually liked this. I’m surprised; it’s been a loooooooong time since I liked a Smallville episode. Although Garth needed a chin, and damn Lana was back being praised as fabulous for no discernable reason. But the LSH shout-outs were great (“you’re acting like a Sub”).
I really was annoyed at Clark’s bullheadedness in refusing to consider killing Chloe.. It didn’t feel heroic, it felt childish. This is the Big Boy world, hard action is sometimes needed. I understand why he couldn’t, but still.
That said, I loved this episode. Full of fun and good acting. The guy who played Cos was especially strong, I thought. Nope, nothing wrong here. And during the “techno-exorcism” I found myself thinking “The power of Geoff compels you!”
I’m keeping my eye on Ryan Kennedy. I was very impressed with his Rokk.
Garth’s “farm boy” acting got very old very quickly, but he is a Winath farm boy. You think he and Clark would have had some interesting conversations on the subject.
Persuader kicked ass!
Meh. Six of one, half-dozen of the other.
Evil Overlord ≠ Barbarian Warrior. 'Sides, a barbarian warrior wouldn’t know how to program his Tivo either. And given that Pushing Daisies is toast, why should I bother?
Last nights episode is now my favorite one. It was full of all kinds of kick-ass. I loved Garth even though he played it a bit hokey but I loved his fan-boyism for Clark.
I am intigued about what Imra was talking about when she was telling Lana that she would be remembered for much more than just being associated with Clark.
I only got into the Legion with the animated cartoon that ran a year or two ago so I have no idea about what transpired in the comics.
Does anyone know of any explanation of what Imra would be talking about with regards to Lana or was that bit just made up for the Smallville episode?
Well… way, way back in LSH lore, Lana was an “honorary” Legionnaire (as was Jimmy Olson), as “Insect Queen”. It was… somewhat silly.
However, had they been alluding to that in Smallville, they would have at least lampshaded it, or something. So I’m pretty sure it was just them shilling the Wesley.
