Really good episode. Why should anyone be surprised about Nightwing's reaction to Arsenal? 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 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)?
