It shouldn't be surprising anyone that Blue Beetle would be featured so much given that the Reach is the new antagonist this season. I know enough about the comics to know that the Reach become the main adversary of Jaime Reyes, so that's certainly the reason why Beetle gets a lot of screen time. Plus, now he's taken on the role of the "traitor within who isn't fully aware of it."

I believe Greg did say elsewhere in an interview that he'd rather have more episodes to work with, but given the constraints, it's been pretty amazing to see how well the storyline is unfolding. And while I'd certainly like to see more episodes centered around some of the newer Team members, at least the majority of them got introduced in Season One and we know enough to know why they would end up joining the Team. Characters who never showed up during Season One are getting enough development so you know enough about what makes them tick.

Oh, and not sure why everyone is confident Arsenal and Wonder Girl are the newest couple... that struck me more as Arsenal being sarcastic about Mal and Karen and Wonder Girl just deciding to have a little fun with him.

But back to War for a moment... I think that episode has really set things up well to get many people intrigued about what's going to happen next. And we definitely have more clues about Complications... not just what's going on with the main plot, but that we likely see how the various parties deal with their own complications (Nightwing regarding the Team, the Reach regarding a likely setback with the public, perhaps even the Light dealing with a setback should the Reach conclude that the Light is responsible for Mongul's arrival.)
