Astounding episode. For some reason, it seemed shorter than (approximately) 22 minutes, but it was terrific nonetheless.

Overall a more-than-decent episode. Thrilled for the upcoming ones.
 * The runaways scene with psychiatrist Black Canary was enjoyable, and the reference to Static Shock made my inner-fanboy squeal. Hope he does decide to go by Static as a post to some other name. However, what I'm really looking forward to the most is for "I put a shock to your system!" Gotta love that catchphrase.
 * Mal taking on the Guardian persona (not officially of course) and seeing teenage Billy (which I wanted to see in the show for a while) were probably my favorite parts of the episode. Captain Marvel's shazam trick was pleasant to see as well.
 * I'm fairly certain there is a minimal chance of Godfrey as Black Beetle. Being associated with the Reach isn't as unlikely, though. I honestly think he favors the Reach just because they're supporting was he's been saying all along about the League being a danger, them being a threat, etc.
 * Disappointed that there was not much Nightwing, but some is better than none. It's understandable why the show can't focus on one secondary (for the episode's plot at least, since he is a central character overall with the undercover situation). Just wish there was more personally.
 * The new (boys) HQ actually seems pretty nice. Not nearly an equivalent to Mount Justice though.
 * Miss Martian declining Lagoon Boy? Could it be any less obvious that Superboy and her are going to get back together?
 * The "talk" between SB and MM is most likely going to include her revealing Nightwing's secret, discussing about the whole psychic rape issue, and possibly other things.
 * Glad they destroyed L-Ron (or did they?) . In the previews he appealed to me for some reason, but he got irritating quickly.
