Episode 211 - Ancient History
Baseball glove construct?
How is this guy overpowering the ring?
Hawkman.
Why does Shadow Thief only show up in Hawkman episodes?

Wow, big barbell
LOL at Hawkgirl and Vixen working out together.
Love the look on Vixen’s face when Hawkgirl tossed over her water bottle.
“He’s an obsessed fanboy with wings and an axe.”
Nice twist on the Lantern pledge by Shadow Thief.

T-rex skeleton fell on Vixen?
“The cast is complete.” Cast of what?
Lantern’s ancestor was one of Katar’s generals?
Beautiful scenery.
This advisor’s a slimeball. Guessing he became Shadow Thief.
“You didn’t have to do that. I can fly.” :groucho:
How did all this get into that Thanagarian database?
Shadow Thief is Hawkman’s dark side?

“Had me worried there.”
Ring construct splint? That’s slick as hell.
Did Shadow Thief kill Vixen, leaving Lantern for Hawkgirl?
Tough choice Lantern made, but probably the only one he could make without being a d bag.

Didn’t really click, but not awful.

Hawkman/Shadow Thief - James Remar
Vixen - Gina Torres

Episode 212 - Alive!
Well, Lex, that didn’t work.
How is Lex breaking all of that?
Grod faked it? That wasn’t actually part of Brainiac?
Wait, recovering a piece from where Brainiac blew up near Apokolips.

LOL at Bizarro trying to put a square box in a round hole.
Turning Fort Vader Helmet into a spaceship?
Atomic Skull’s voice really doesn’t match his appearance.
“Why is my headquarters moving?”
Looks like we’ve got a civil war brewing.
Giganta’s holding a grudge.
Toyman headbutted Killer Frost?
Lex can even counteract non-tech powers?
Nice tricks with Toyman’s yo-yo.
Great fight, but a bit confusing.
Uh oh, Grod. You frakked up.
Kneel before Lex.
Lex is going to have Grod airlock himself.
LOL at Killer Frost buying her life by freezing the rest of Grod’s side.
“We’re heeere…”
He’s going to torture Tala to resurrect Brainiac?
Who’s the floating throne guy?
Metron?
“Twinkle, twinkle, Brainiac. Tala’s gonna bring you back.”
That doesn’t look like… Oh shit. Darkseid?
How did the remaining Society members survive?
“We have a little problem” Well, yeah.

Weird to have an episode with no heroes talking in it. Like I said, the big civil war was a bit confusing, but that twist at the end with Darkseid was a great lead in to the series finale.

Episode 213 - Destroyer

Oh, Sinestro used his yellow power ring to save them.
Not just attacking Metropolis? Good plan.
Looks like pretty random teams.
I love how both sides seem to hate the idea of teaming up.
Of course Darkseid’s flagship is in Metropolis.
Nice random beam outs.
Lantern and Flash on the same team? I figured each of the 6 remaining founders would be team leaders.
LOL at Question ramming a stack of Darkseid’s minions with his car.
Batman, Superman, and Lex as one team? Damn.
Wow, Lex dual wielding pistols.

Batman saving Lex?
Darkseid starting the fight by throwing the Daily Planet globe at SUperman?
Random fat Chinese guy “needs to help”?
Core drills?
Wow, things aren’t going well in DC.
“Why don’t you just throw it into the sun?” Seems like I’ve seen a Green Lantern do that recently.
“Doesn’t look like it quite made escape velocity.” No, but I doubt anyone will complain.
Wow, that Chinese guy packs a… Manhunter? Yay.
Zatanna turned Parademons into doves? Nice.
Batman dodged Darkseid’s homing heat vision?
“Super or otherwise, you are merely a man. And I am a god.”

Yeah, holding Superman up in the sunlight. Brilliant plan, Darkseid.
OK, I can’t do this justice, so I’m just going to Youtube it.

Awesome beatdown from Superman.
“Only a 12th level intellect has the slightest hope of surviving what you’re about to experience.”
“Then I’m overqualified.”
Is it full of stars, Lex?
Kryptonite switchblade?
Lex changed into a suit?
So Lex defeated Darkseid by giving him what he wanted?
“We helped you guys save the world and we don’t get any consideration?”
“You’re right… Five minute head start.”
Manhunter’s married now?
“Don’t you have a tall building to go leap?”
Awesome ending.

Great series finale. Wrapped up a few big plots, but open ended enough to lead into a bunch more adventures.

[Starsaber]

Yeah. I’ll try to post a wrap up before I go out of town tomorrow, but it might have to wait until Wednesday.
