REVIEW: Now that the "going back to Cadmus" is over, time to get back to the Legion arc. After a few episodes following "I'am Legion", the plot of Luthor and Brainiac hadn't been seen or mentioned to the point where it seemed almost like the writers forgot about it. Thankfully the first shot of this episode had it, so we're safe.
We were wrong, or I was because I gave the review, I DIDN'T KNOW! But Grodd is alive. He's pissing Luthor off because he kowns Grodd is the reason why Luthor can't even get his hands on Brainiac's last fagment even after Grodd isn't in charge anymore.
Dr. Fate returns as he is part of the plot, and it was nice to see Red Torando talk for the first time. Once Luthor and Flash switch bodies, the action begins. For some reason, Clancy Brown's voice protrayal of Flash sounded better. Not better but on par, let's say.
But after the switching, the episode also hits its hightlight: comedy. In scenes where Flash is inside Luthor, he acts funny like you've never saw Luthor like that, although it isn't him. Its hard for me to retell the funny moments because I'll probably not make them funny like they are in it so I won't say anything on that matter.
On a side note: Tala is really starting to look good to me. With Flash-Luthor, they really looked like a couple. With the real Luthor, that ain't the case.
We feel for you Tala.
RATING: 8.5/10
Up next: Superman and the Legion of Superheroes (the episode, not the comic)

it was nice to see Red Torando talk for the first time. I'm pretty sure that Red Tornado talked in the WW as a pig episode.

New episodes supposedly returning on Feb 11th. Unknown if theyre running more two EP "blocks", a single EP, the next 3-5 Eps, or running the rest of the season straight? There is also no official word regarding whether or not the show will be renewed. My guess is that if/when they end the show, CN will "spin" it and avoid any formal use of the "C" word (cancelled lol)

This was another great episode. It feels weird saying this about every episode they have, but I can't help that this show is so freaking good. I loved when Luthor took off Flash's mask and just says, "I have no idea who this person is." It also showed how lucky it is that Flash is a good guy. Everyone would be screwed other wise. It was cool to see Sinestro in such an important role. He's a favorite of mine. I think it is great that they have touched on their versions of the original Legion of Doom. Just about all of them have been featured in this season.

This was a good ep. I loved seeing Mr. Terrific be part of the action. Having Dr Fate is always a good thing. Red Tornado was also cool. Really looking forward to next weeks ep. DrGreenEvil

I must say again that I'm really going to miss this show. It was really funny when Flash was in Luthor's body not having a clue what was going on. And like Nightwing said, it was funny when Luthor in Flash's body took off his mask and said "I have no idea who this is." And they're actually getting rid of this show. If they wanted to take something off, get rid of BoBoBo. What the **** is that show about anyway?! Please don't answer that because I really don't care or want to know.

I didn't like this ep. I thought the scenes with Flash as Lex trying to talk to the legion were silly and awkward, and I didn't like the idea for this ep either, seems like it's something that's been done before. Not a great one for one of the last eps of the show IMO

Cracked me up. I get the sense that the writers knew the end was coming and just threw caution to the wind this season. There's been so much great satire.
-- "Lex" not washing his hands because "I'm evil." I absolutely howled with laughter and had to play it over again.
-- I loved the double entendres. Can't believe they got away with them. ("This isn't restful.")
-- I knew the second "Flash" took off his mask, Lex would have no idea who it was. That's one of the great conceits of the secret identity -- most of them are such average Joes that villains wouldn't know them if they saw them.
-- That Dr. Polaris was Lex's main antagonist (other than Grodd) was hilarious, too. His outfit is so preposterous. I think that he was voiced by Michael Rosenbaum, too.
-- Speaking of, both Clancy Brown and Rosenbaum did great voice work: befuddled Lex and sinister Flash.
-- Compelling to see just how powerful Flash is when he cuts loose. The fact that it established that Flash is innately more powerful than GL was very interesting.
-- I, like everyone else here, am going to miss this show.

Grrr I only got to watch the last 3 min. when Wally's mind is back in tact. He sounds a lot different, more masculine than his voice used to be..

The show was hilarious. I am still up in the air as to how I feel about it overall. I feel like it was decent but probably the second worst episode this season. I would like to watch it again before I make up my mind however.

I loved it! I too was on the fence about it but it is deffinately more and more enjoyable upon multiple viewings. Like most episodes this season, its essentially stand alone FUN! no real attachment to anything "bigger" or anything deep and meeningful. Pure fan service and creator indulgence using a classic comic story staple!
The voice actine was beyond impressive in regards to wally and lex / clancy and michael! flat out brilliant work by both.
Red Tornado's voice was hideous though... i wouldnt have thought helium worked on androids lol?
the writing was just fabulous for such an ultimatley "light hearted" ep. laugh out loud funny imo and extremely well executed by everyone. Some truly PRICELESS lines.
love it or hate it, it was funny and well done IMO!
