When you have somebody like M'gann taking responsibility for her mistakes and Nightwing doing the same, plus Superboy doing the same thing much earlier (Usual Suspects) and Arsenal just blows it off, then of course Nightwing will make that decision. Let's not forget how he emphasized to Robin in Happy New Year about "no unnecessary risks to the team." Sure, Arsenal got stored on ice for eight years but that's not going to excuse from putting the rest of the Team into danger.

And something tells me we haven't seen the last of Arsenal and the runaways... I'm betting they'll be back.

I saw Godfrey's criticism of the Reach coming. I just figured it would have happened an episode earlier. Regardless, it was very well done. But it, along with other developments, does make it clear the Light just wants to use the Reach to further their (Light's) own agenda. I suspect we're really building toward a showdown between the Light and the Reach. The question that remains is if the League's credibility gets restored in the process or if the Light becomes the new "saviors" of the Earth.

Lot of possibilities now for Intervention: Does anyone on the Team intervene to steer Arsenal and the runaways back, does the Reach intervene with whatever the Light has planned next, does the Team intervene with the Reach controlling Jaime, or even B'arzz, or does somebody else intervene to provide assistance to the Team (as in, perhaps, the return of the Forever People to Earth)? I totally agree with your first paragraph, however nightwing had the right intention just did it the wrong way, like he shouldn't have kicked Arsenal off the Team, but rather have given him to black canery, as even if he does manage to come back on the team their will always be friction amoungst the two. Also nightwing has always shown a negative /( I don't trust you attitude towards arsenal) ref: True colors "when he asked about the watch tower" I felt that nightwings response was very rough around the edges. Again with him putting the team in danger by open the airlock, Sphere wouldn't have made it outside and none of the heroes would've been freed + the runaways would have also been captured.
