This episode was really intense. There were a lot of things that happened that I didn't expect:


 * The thing with Green Beetle and the Justice League wasn't a rescue attempt for the Leaguers on Rimbor. I guess that's gonna happen in a later episode.


 * Mal finally voiced his issues to Karen and they reconciled. I was expecting a break-up to happen before that, but I was proud of Mal and the make-up was really sweet.


 * It looks like the Light is indeed playing the Reach for their own agenda, but what do you expect from a group of evil masterminds who want Earth to be the center of the universe?


 * It looks like Blue Beetle is the reason for the Team being captured by the Reach. I totally called that, but I expected it to be in "Complications". At least, the Reach didn't get their hands on Sphere.


 * Apparently, the Team isn't gonna rescue Miss Martian in "Complications", but from the trailers, she's certain to get out alive and hopefully, Aqualad and Artemis will show their true colors, which they're gonna have to considering that Psimon will have probably awakened from his catatonia by then.


 * Hopefully, the League and Nightwing have deduced from the Team's capture that Blue Beetle is on-mode and Green Beetle is a mole for the Reach, though it's unlikely. But either way, I'm hoping that they can crash Blue Beetle's mode at least and make him one of the good guys again.


 * The fight scene with Mongul was epic and I liked that Mongul referred to Krypton having revolved around a red sun. I also liked that Mongul was voiced by Keith David. Three more actors and every actor on this list will have played a part in Young Justice.


 * Speaking of voice actors, I think that it's pretty hilarious that the only voice actors who didn't have multiple roles in this episode were Keith David, Eric Lopez, Jesse McCartney, and Michael T. Weiss. I feel bad for the other voice actors.


 * It was also hilarious how in the beginning, the magistrate forgot to turn on his translator and Superman was all confused.

Overall, this episode was, in my opinion, the best episode I've seen since the end of the last hiatus. But things don't look so good for the heroes and it all looks to be coming to something big at the season finale. Again, I hope that our renewal efforts succeed because if this series ends on a cliffhanger, I'm gonna be pissed.
