Maybe I'm speaking prematurely, because there's still one last issue to deal with the outcome of this ordeal, but I'm starting to become uncomfortable with the fact that such a grand-scale event hasn't been alluded to in season two at all... "Players" and "Happy New Year" is only weeks apart and no one ever says "Hey.... what's up with all the aliens? First they try to shrink Metropolis and now this Gene Simmons-lookalike shows up to apprehend this ugly gremlin-looking troll that has been passing for human?". I mean, this is something that G.G. Godfrey of all people should be bringing up all the time when ranting about aliens... I've seen this in Heroes for example, where the comics where "canon" too but the events were never mentioned on the show, but because they didn't directly contradict each other, they slipped through. In that case in particular, it not really a tie-in comic when there's no direct references between them and the show. It was only stories that overlapped or took place side by side, with subtle retconning that passed for continuity.

Unless everyone's getting their memories erased in the last chapter, I'll be disappointed with the lack of references to this massive event that certainly would gather global attention.
