Green Lantern Catch-Up
I do not know how I had missed this before but given how YJ tends to eclipse other fandoms, really I shouldn't be surprised. I had to hold down a squeal of the second coming when I saw the latest GL trailer. We're getting Orange Lanterns! Carol will be back! My ship feels for Aya and Razer! There better not be another hiatus till both of these are done in March, which gives me just enough time to rest before I have to get my fandom heart ready for TLOK. At least I'm assuming the show will be resuming around the same time as last year.
That fanfic idea in my head is still floating. It has a title now ("Remnants") but isn't something I'm all that interested in pursuing. Sometimes I like to ship just to ship. Last week's GL "Blue Hope" was a winner but any episode with Saint Walker is that. I guess they shot the Blue Lantern Razer idea out of the water and after a bit of thinking, I liked that better. I dislike thinking any emotion is evil for feeling it. It's when it controls you it has become bad news. Righteous anger might be the way to go for Razer in turning that emotion into something constructive, like saving the universe. Again.
Aya was not a character I thought I would enjoy very much until a few episodes in. It wasn't even the shipping that got my attention, but her sincerity to be a Green Lantern. It's not so much that she wants be a real girl and thus is unhappy at what she is but she wants to grow beyond her original parameters. The only time she seems to take offence is when someone insinuates she is not a real Green Lantern. "Blue Hope" emphasizes that. As for shipping, if Razer's reaction in that episode is anything to go by, what is previewed in the trailer might be another Moral Event Horizon.
I was wondering when they would bring Sinestro into the series but I'm not surprised he didn't go full evil in the episode. A part of it might be movie tie-ins while another might be on the enemy focus being on the Anti-Monitor and the Manhunters. Plus it works well for both those who know the comic book backstory and those who are newer to the corps.
