I for one am really glad we're going back to one weekly episode next week. It gives us more time to digest and appreciate what happened AND update the wiki.

Random thoughts:
 * I enjoyed all three episodes.
 * Rant about voice work: I know that unlike like action TV, having an animated character just doing stuff on screen is cheaper than having it speaking, but sometimes it feels really lacking when you have action scenes and some characters only grunt. In "Illusion of Control" they should have had at least ONE member of Onslaught say something. They're usually pretty chatty. (Was it me or did they re-use Devastation's lines from "True Heroes" ("baby!", "Tickles")?) They could have had Yuri and give lines to Junior and Tommy, but I suspect they had to sacrifice that for budgetary reasons and instead have Static repeat a comic relief line about getting a girlfriend (and more importantly, drop a hit that Eduardo and Bart are a thing. It felt especially weird having Tara, whom we know to be a mole and is kind of a big deal, not say one single word in all her appearances.
 * Speaking of Eduardo and Bart, why are they shying away from making their (supposed) relationship explicit? They can show Halo getting impaled every other episode, but they can't have two dudes holding hands? If you watch closely, Bart doesn't even really kiss Eduardo. Then he spends the rest of the episode calling him "amigo" and Eduardo mulling over Wendy.
 * And speaking of Halo, the shock of seeing her brutalized has officially worn off. That's just being done now because they can. (And yet, they can't show two dudes kissing in normal speed or holding hands). It's also becoming a plot contrivance, considering she's the only one that EVER gets mortally wounded, obviously because the writers can heal her and not anyone else.
 * It seems obvious Gar is going to part ways with the Team and maybe found his own of publicly known metas.
 * Artemis and Will... please no. It's... weird.
 * Since when are Manta, Boomerang and Mallah metas?
 * I knew Halo was up to something in 301!
 * I love Studio Mir and you can really tell when it's them at the helm. I seems the producers resort to that studio every time they make a Beast Boy heavy episode (with transformations that is).
