I still enjoy it, but I just no longer have that excitement and anticipation before a new episode airs, mainly because I feel like the story arc is a bit clunky, truncated, and just isn't running smoothly, which I put fault to not just the show's unfortunate airing schedule, but also to the writers. Now, that's crazy talk right there.

Vandal wants all the aliens on Earth having a good ol' battle to the death, but we don't know why. Hasn't that been always the case? We've endured an entire season of "all went according to plan" without knowing what was the Light's plan until the very last episode. I honestly think that the writing of season two has improved hugely and it gets better every episode (with perhaps the exception of "Cornered"). Even "The Fix", which was a bit of a disappointment, pushed the story forward. The only pointless plot line was Mal and Karen, which we all knew it was going nowhere. We still have loads of stuff to see resolved: Miss Martian crazy act, Tula's death, the Mantas/Crocks showdown, the Light's end-endgame, the Reach's arc, G. G. Godfrey... Still five episodes left, and you all know how much one can pack.

Every time they try to put themselves back on their feet, they take a huge blow... the Cave, the Hall, the public defamation campaign. All one can complain about is the lack of screen time and development of some heroes, but really, do we need to see/know about all of their origin stories?

Blue Beetle hogs the limelight? Maybe. Is that so bad? Don't think so.

Personally, I'm pining for the next episode every time. This season has been building up tension non-stop ever since "Darkest".
