Some thoughts about today's episode:


 * Agree with those who thought the whole "destroy the Scarab" ordeal was anticlimatic. I will say this is one of the plot points that suffered because of the 20-episode run. With 26, there's more time to explore that plot point and allow an episode in which Blue and Black have their final confrontation with Blue getting a decisive victory.


 * As soon as Wally left the Watchtower, I had a feeling he was going to be the one who sacrificed himself to save the world. When you look back on previous episodes, you got some hints that he was going to be at a disadvantage in any three-speedster teamup. I hate to see him go because I love the Wally-Artemis relationship, but thank goodness we got so much character development with him in Season One as it makes his sacrifice that much more powerful.


 * I wasn't that crazy about how the whole JL conviction on Rimbor was resolved. Seemed a little awkward.


 * Robin and Wonder Girl getting together is cool. Again, though, that could have been developed more with a 26-episode run.


 * For the record, I'm not blaming the writers and understand they had to work with the 20-episode run they got. Just that a 26-episode run would have helped. Of course, that's on CN because it was their decision.

I thought it was a good overall episode but it left me wanting more and not simply because it's the end of the series... for now. Keep on with the campaigns to at least get something more to provide closure to the series as a whole, be it a third season, direct-to-DVD movies or something else.

Oh, and just a thought on who the two newest JL members are: Seemed like Blue Demon would be one (my thinking is he's been considered before but may have turned it down or not gotten the vote, but ultimately did) and Adam Strange might be the other (that's really a guess more than anything else). I am pretty confident that Blue Demon had one of the "A" designations that were SRNC on Greg's recent list, though.
