Ultimately, we don't know what he did or did not recognize. He was being a jerk, but I can understand that. If somebody spreads lies about me, or bends the truth to suit their own personal agenda, then I'm going to be upset too. I do agree with you in part, though. He should have been apologetic for almost getting the team killed. And he may have been, if Bumblebee hadn't started running her mouth off. It's impossible to say where the discussion would have gone if BB had gone into the ship with Mal.

It's not really fair to say that he learned nothing. I believe he did, and that based on that he tried to fix a problem that he may or may not have caused. He obviously doesn't believe that the team's capture was his fault to begin with, and neither do I. Blue Beetle and Black Beetle, when dominated by their scarabs, are on an equal playing field, as evidenced by BEFORE THE DAWN. The team didn't fare so well against Black in that episode or TRUE COLORS, so there's really no indication that they'd have done any better against Blue in WAR. Especially when you consider that none of them were aware of Blue's defection.

Anyway, I'm personally hoping that this whole scenario just means we'll learn what's happening with Red Arrow, since he's been inexplicably absent since SATISFACTION.
