GL: Yeah, I felt the saving grace was it showed how clever Hal was against a con man. The con man was Byth Rok, a Hawkman villain from the Silver Age comics.

YJ: The Kaldur reveal was a jawdropper. They have to reveal this failed mission in a flashback in a future episode, it's the only way it'll work. I'm afraid to consider what's happened to Kid Flash and Artemis.

TT: Yes, it was hilarious when I realized it was sequel of sorts to "Betrothed." Now, I'm thinking they might finally get to use Wonder Girl or reveal Red X's blasted secret identity.

[mattzimmer]

YJ: Even if they show the mission it will still never work. The damage to the character has already been done. No clue on Artemis but I'm betting Kid Flash became the Flash after Barry Allen died. We'll find out soon enough.

TT: If the shorts actually reveal who Red X is I'll take back every bad thing I ever said about Teen Titans.

YJ: Ehhh, I liked they gave Kid Flash the normal life compared to everyone else - a stable family household and what not. I'm hoping he and Artemis retired their roles to focus on college but the ongoing season arc forces them back into action. But I don't doubt them killing Flash. They killed Kent Nelson in his first appearance, well sorta... you know what I mean.

TT: Me, too, Matt. Me, too.

[mattzimmer]

YJ: You're probably right. I don't think DC is as anxious to kill off Barry Allen again since they not only rebooted the universe and brought him back but actually made him return from the dead before the reboot.

TT: Any theories on who Red X could be?

Green Lantern: The Animated Series "Fight Club" - I was annoyed at the Thanagarian too, but I liked how it was a battle of him and Hal to see who could one-up the other, and anything that brings in more familiar DC alien races is fine with me

If they do a fake-out with Kal-dur I'll be very angry. Because if he IS faking and working for good secretly, considering some of the things he said and did when he was completely alone, it would be a total cheat. Weisman isn't above that (to be honest I thought the series finale of Spectacular Spider-Man cheated a bit too) but he's USUALLY better than that

[90scartoonman]

Did we know for sure Kaldur's completely alone? Well, maybe he is bad and will turn good again.

Ultimate Spider-Man: I'm more talking about the police than Spider-Man, who were closing off the area, shouldn't their first priority be to keep civilians safe?

The Simpsons: I'd be just as angry as you, but Skinner and Edna were done years before Nedna happened, so it doesn't bother me.

Family Guy: Good point, and new Brian is also clearly a windbag who pretends to be an intellectual but is actually fairly dumb. Old Brian seemed smart.

30 Rock: Ah, yeah, I can see credit where credit is due, but I'm continually disappointed in Jack for thinking Avery was equal to Nancy, who actually humanized him. Avery is just making him worse.

Parks and Recreation: That's true, Andy was so serious about his bodyguard duties. He just needs to be a tad brighter to be a good Pawnee cop.

[mattzimmer]

Young Justice: I will never forgive Kal-Dur even if the writers try to redeem him. At least Hawkgirl was trying to keep everyone alive and thought she was doing the right thing and Willow went crazy. There is no excuse for his cold calculating evil. If Weisman EVER plans to redeem him I will never buy it
