User blog comment:Thailog/Ep. 201 "Happy New Year!" discussion/@comment-252417-20120428193623

The 1 thing that truly ruined this was the 5 year jump. I thought this and the last ep were supposed to be seamless, but that was only in the lame "Previously on" recap. ARGH! What we're they thinking?!! THIS WAS A MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. I didn't care for the any of the voice debuts, the new character debuts, the new Team members, the Team members promoted to the JL, the new redesigns, the new hook-ups (the La'gaan & Miss M. hook-up made me sick), and the Robin wannabe/clone was a complete failure and really quite pathetic. As if they're trying to make up for the time leap.

What's worse is that it ruined the previous 2 episodes as well, possible even the whole of season 1. They think by adding the 16 missing hours ref makes up for it? It doesn't. I also didn't care for the allusion to the end of the pilot.

I found this extruciating to watch from beginning to end.
