Wow, it has been a while. This was a decent episode. The breaks have truly killed the momentum. I have not bothered to watch this episode since it aired, which is a first this season. Performance, Disordered, and Denial were for season 1.

Some comments and observation:

1. Why is Karen snubbing Mal? At first, it seemed understandable. Now, it just seems inappropriate. She also needs to gain some relevance. At first, I thought Batgirl was useless, but I changed my mind after Before The Down. Karen, come on, girl.

2. Nice to see Virgil. The Static Shock reference was nice, but it seemed slightly forced (Just a tiny bit). Also Black Lightning's power is black? Nice! I don't remember it being black in the comics, though.

3. To the people who made a point on the Watchtower being unnoticed, did you forget that it is a former Green Lantern base? It also has cloaking abilities. Come on, guys, we have an article on it that explains everything.

4. In Megan's flashback of lobotomizing Kaldur, his shout was different from his shout in Before the Dawn.

5. In the Black Canary scene, there was a moment when she lacked her gloves. How many times has this happened now?

6. If Megan confides in Superboy what she did, then the preview we all saw of Conner reproving Nightwing might be the B plot of the next episode.

I give this episode a B. I am looking forward to Arsenal and "The Fix".
