what a poor episode.

big shock seeing wally die considering he had a nice little moment with artemis, not like that wasnt foreboding in the slightest and since she has already fake died he just has to die for real doesnt he. what a cliche.

warrior was taken down way too easily for someone who has been presented as the big bad of the season, at least let him put up a decent fight before he takes a dive. also no shock green was taken out either since he was the only original character on the show.

what does hawkman have to do to be allowed to speak? there is no way he would just sit there quietly while his wife and friends are being convicted of a crime they werent responsible for. and on the note of people not speaking, if you are going to promote barbra to co-leader of the team i think she deserves some lines.

the trial was sorted way too easily as well, that should have been a whole episode to itself.

since when has a school teacher been the best person to co-ordinate a big group of heroes? snapper was so out of place in this episode. i know greg probably wanted to include a cameo for himself in the possible last episode but couldnt he just have been interviewed by cat grant at the end of the episode as they were showing the aftermath?

why didnt miguel ferrer voice the tribunal guy again? he was already in the episode and wouldn have cost them any extra money to use, meanwhile nolan north already had 2 voices meaning they did have to pay him extra, that makes no sense budget wise.

on to the positives. artemis taking the tigress identity permanetly was good, that id has the cooler toys and it makes sense that the other id would just remind her of wally, shame its also her name.

good to finally see darkseid after so long holding up a giant neon flashing sign saying "darkseid is our endgame".

tim and cassie finally giving in to the blatant romantic tension (ie the complete lack of any) between them was good, just a shame that had to be juxtaposed by conner and megan basically getting back together. if what she did happened in real life he wouldnt even be able to look at her. why do they feel the need to keep giving megan what she wants?

oh well at least lagoon boy got to look good teaming with aqualad no matter how brief it was.

final thoughts. red arrow and adam strange should have been given more to do other than just standing there listening politely to luthor. really didnt buy the two roys just standing there while lex was withing killing distance.

its been a fun ride while it lasted but its time to say good bye to an above average superhero show that sometimes reached just a little too high.

happy paddy's day from ireland everybody.
