Review:
Part 2 was definitely better than Part 1. It somehow manages to bring the Legion and the Fatal Five together for a common cause while, simultaneously, giving Superman some face time with the Controller without making it seem excessive or that the episode's ending depended completely on what he did.
Oh, and if you gotta go out, go out atone for mistakes. Ferro Lad couldn't get the job done in Part 1, but he made sure to finish it in Part 2. He's gonna be missed. I was also a little surprised by the ending. Superman returning home to his time. Like the writers were prepared if the show only lasted one season. I'm interested to see where this goes next year.
