How do you think he did as Cyborg? His looks? His attitude? Did he make you believe that he really was the Teen Titan superhero?


Before seeing this episode i must comment that once i heard he was playing Cyborg i thought it was a great fit. He looked like he could be the part and his background with stunts and action on the Famous Jett jackson may help him out on this role.

He looks good to me. Not the hugest Cyborg fan in the world, but Lee looks pretty good if you ask me. I'll wait and see on his performance.

Hopefully he'll have a good little throwdown with Clark.

Too early to judge thus far, but I'll say I've liked what I've seen so far even though I prefer the comics take on him appearence-wise.

I have never seen him before, but he is a good actor, he is better then aquaman and flash. The guy playing Cyborg, is going places.

He's actually a lead on South Beach at the moment.

I think that he is perfect for this role. You have to remember that he is still a young man and hasn't grown into 'Cyborg' yet. He is a great actor as well.

i liked the way he moved. it seemed as though he was attempting to run as if he were made of hydraulics. pretty cool!

Lee was great. I've always liked him.

This episode was so much better than Aquaman.

(and watching this ep, I had nice nostalgic memories of Silverstone :) )

Finally, a guest hero episode that was as good as the Flash's...Young was perfect, great show.

where the heck is the CYBORG spinoff?

Lee was excellent and a great match for clark. didnt pressure him with questions, was realistic in his gratitude, wasnt SMOTHERED in future *references*...very well done.

the only complaint is Victor kept staring at Clark in a very...longing way that made me feel like I was interrupting a 'moment' or something by watching them interact. Thats most likely just poor direction though and not Thompsons fault

Maybe he's built of Adamantium, o wait, that's Marvel's material. (lol)

I loved seeing the man of steel and the man with steel together again, great episode.

His metal skeleton took most of the damage...Cyborg is pretty powerful character, he can take on Superboy in the comics...which is pretty hardcore.(he even did it while Superboy pretty much gutted him...awesome fight.)

Yeah but Hellen Keller could do a better job of acting than the guy who played Aquaman did.

And the Cyborg's performace was good. His only weakness is when he is trying to act frightened (as in that scene where he is strapped down about to get a drill into his temple). But other than that, solid performance.

When I saw the previews I couldn't imagine anyone better for the role. I still feel that way.

He's the perfect fit!! I was a fan of his when The Famous Jett Jackson was on the Disney Channel.

He's handsome, strong and has great charisma. They should do a spin-off with him. I'd love to see him in more stuff.

I was not looking forward to this episode, but as soon as Lee delivered his first line, I said -- Okay, I can go with this. By then end, I loved him. Great choice for the role.

And yes, one fine dude.

I agree with the poster who asked where the Cyborg spin-off is.

Lee Thompson Young is a great actor, he really did embody a young Victor Stone.

a spin off with Cyborg and lee thompson young as him is probably a better choice then aquaman. you can do alot more with this character and we saw how he began so the pilot could just be the car crash and the non seen scenes from this and just show the parts with him in it and not the scenes dealing with clarks life. this is one thing were we need to see more about him the flash and aquaman got one episode and went on doing there thing but this clark knew cyborg from another school and there is more of a connection,.

Young was really good. When Vic found out that his doctor had died, he really brought emotion to that scene.

I loved the Cyborg ep, I only wish that they showed him with more a sense of humor like the Teen Titans Cyborg. But I see how it would be hard to find humor considering the circumstances he was in

I thought it was funny when Clark asked Lana for a description of the guy she hit with her car... I was like, "Gee, Clark, I don't know, maybe the only African-American in the entire show now that Pete's gone?" ;)

Lee Thompson Young is Y-U-M-M-Y. I used to watch The Famous Jett Jackson all the time... I loved watching him do that spin kick in the credits. He has the most GORGEOUS eyes.

A bit off-topic, but anyone besides me remember the episode of TFJJ that guest-starred Rachel McAdams (now of "Mean Girls" and "The Notebook" and "Red Eye" and a bunch of other stuff) as Hannah, Jett's co-star Riley's bulimic sister?

And that TFJJ theme song was great too, hee.

Oh yeah, what was his name? Nam-Ek or something?

I was really excited when I saw him because as a kid, I was kind of sad that I none of the Kryptonians looked like me...and then all of a sudden, there is one and I'm older, and still just as happy.:)

First off, I really enjoyed Lee Thompson Young as Victor/Cyborg. I personally think that casting him was one of the smartest things that SV has ever done (in terms of guest stars).

Secondly, in response to shirkie - YES! I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers that Rachel McAdams was on The Famous Jett Jackson. It's funny, because now she's so popular, but when she first came out in "The Notebook", I remember thinking - 'oh hey, it's that girl from The Famous Jett Jackson' ! That show has provided us some talented people, it has. (Lee Thompson Young is awesome!)
