Episode 8x11: Legion

January episode

# 10/27 - Three Legionnaires from the future will appear - and if you're guessing it's the same roster that appeared in their first appearance way back when, you guessed correctly... the three Legionnaires will be Garth, Imra, and Rokk, who have powers of electricity, telepathy, and magnetism, respectively.

# 10/06 - The threat of Brainiac - who has taken over Chloe's body - brings three super-heroes from the future back to the past. Eventually they work together to try and separate Chloe from her Brainiac side. Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore, Cassidy Freeman, and Justin Hartley do not appear in this episode. This episode features a Legion villain that [Geoff] Johns himself is surprised he was able to use. No word on who yet, but our money's on Darkseid, Mordru, or the Time Trapper. Source: KryptonSite

Best episode of the series and it hasn't even aired yet!

What an accomplishment.

so lets have pics

UPDATED 9/2/08: Chances are good that this will be the Jimmy and Chloe wedding episode, and it has been said that the event will be a "bloody mess."

- Comments from "Legion" writer Geoff Johns also imply episode #10 will be a big event: "I can tell you with confidence, the season they have planned is easily the most ambitious to date," he said in a forum posting. "There are so many twists and turns. And episode 10. Episode 10 is INSANE. My episode is now 11, so it's going to be a hard act to follow, but I'll give it my all. I have to say too, that if they pull off where they're taking Doomsday...I mean, I didn't understand where they were going when they announced that Doomsday had a human alter ego. But it's freaking cool. As hell. And fans of the comics are going to be blown away when everything is actually revealed. It's really pretty spectacular."

"Legion" Casting Update: "Cosmic Boy" Found!
Actor Ryan Kennedy has been cast in the role of Rokk Krinn, a.k.a. "Cosmic Boy" of the Legion of Super-Heroes in "Legion," the eleventh episode of Smallville Season Eight airing in early 2009.

Kennedy's previous credits include the series Whistler and Blade: The Series. He was also in the movie "Crossroads: A Story Of Forgiveness" with former Superman and "Curtis Knox" himself, Dean Cain. Thanks to Andy for the tip

well they are here

The writer’s highly-anticipated Legion of Super-Heroes episode of the popular CW series, first announced at Comic-Con International in July, premieres January 15, 2009 and will spin out directly from this week’s cliffhanger ending of the latest episode of “Smallville” – entitled “Bride” – in which we see Doomsday crash Chloe and Jimmy’s wedding. The last seconds show Lex Luthor hardwired to a computer and a TV monitor in an undisclosed location, watching Doomsday wreak havoc and capture Chloe.

“For those watching the season, I think it’s safe to say this is already one of the best,” Geoff Johns told CBR News. “The work they’re doing is fantastic, the ratings are going up and freaking Doomsday. Have you seen Doomsday? He’s on this week’s episode then the next one is mine.”

Johns said the three young actors playing Saturn Girl, Lightning Lad and Cosmic Boy absolutely “nailed it.” Canadian actor and singer Alexz Johnson landed the role of Saturn Girl, Calum Worthy (“Dr. Dolittle 3) lights up the screen as Lightning Lad, and Ryan Kennedy (“Blade: The Series”) completes the time traveling trio as Cosmic Boy.

I agree... 👆

Finally an episode worth talking about..

One of Smallville's best

It was cool to see the LOS in the episode. Lana actually didn't irk me. Wish there was more DD but an overall good episode.

just finished watching this. there's a heavy geoff johns influence throughout, which is natual given he's the writer, but it goes further than that.

it gave smallville a big, big push towards the comics in many ways, such as lana (more comic lana than she's ever been) and the legion themselves. lots of in jokes, and lightning lad's constant references to superman was very, very well done imo. the flight rings were cool, and even clark seemed to be more confident and more decisive than he had been in previous episodes.

makes me wish johns wrote more smallville.

Where's Hermione? There's no thread for the last episode. How am I supposed to gripe about Lana now? The whole system is breaking down! nuts
