* In "Heir Apparent", why did Iolande getting chosen by a GL ring made Kothak acquire a newfound respect for her all of a sudden? He had shown absolutely no respect for the other Green Lanterns in the episode.

** He didn't respect them because they were outsiders, so not part of the planet's political system, and he didn't respect his political rival who was a Green Lantern because he was a political rival. Through the episode, the idea is that the Queen-to-be is pretty much a trophy to be won. She has the throne, but any man who marries her can be the King, and thus the actual power. Kothak wants that power for himself. When Iolande is chosen by the Green Lantern Ring, she proves herself a power in her own right, not one to be used by others. So Kothak respects that she can rule on her own terms, not serve as bloodline legitimacy for her husband.

** Not a Green Lantern scholar or anything, but the Tropes pages for the Green Lantern franchise indicate that the Oaths are mostly superfluous. Many have custom Oaths (such as a "Green Lantern" from an area where there is no light, so the Oath refers to sounds instead of light and "Green Lantern" is "F-Sharp Bell"), and it's mentioned the Oath is more about how long it takes the ring to charge than a requirement for the charging process to happen. But adaptations (including the live-action film) have altered this piece of lore so that, yes, the Oath is required to charge the ring. Which makes a kind of sense, since the Oaths are one of the most recognizable parts of the Green Lantern mythos, central to each Corps, and just plain awesome, so placing additional weight on them serves the narrative. Short answer: In the comics, no, the Oaths aren't necessary. In adaptations, they can be if the adapter decides they are.

* The series features Star Sapphires even after their debut episode, but what happens with Carol Ferris, THE Star Sapphire? She becomes Star Sapphire for less than a third of the episode and then she goes back to normal.
** It's only the first season. I think it's ''extremely'' likely that Carol's going to become a Star Sapphire again, especially now that the Sapphire Corps has reformed.
** There's also the fact that Star Sapphire was usually Carol's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered Evil Side]] in the comics.
** In any event, previews for the next batch of episodes clearly show Carol as a Star Sapphire [[spoiler: and apparently fighting Atrocitus on Zamaron...]]
* As cool as Blue hope was, I have 2 questions from the episode. 1. What happened to Tomar-Re? And far more important, HOW IN THE HELL DID AYA GET HER BODY BACK?
** 1. Back to Oa. 2. She built another. Not like she hasn't built a body from scratch before. There's obviously a timeskip between then and now.
** [[spoiler:According to Aya in 'Cold Fury', she keeps a stock of spare parts for herself.]]



* Why did they cancel such a respectable show?
** Bad sales.


Added DiffLines:

** Just because something resembling a hand is shown at the formation of the universe does not mean it's meant to be an actual omnipotent being, and it definitely doesn't mean it's the same being as the Christian God.


Added DiffLines:

** How do we know he didn't? The last episode ends with him flying off to search for her? Even if he did try the Star Sapphires and they weren't able to find her, it's doubtful that would convince him to stop looking.

** It is possible or even probable that the entity apparently setting the universe into motion, if possessing omnipotence and omniscience, saw any intervention as ultimately irrelevant given that Aya was able to be talked down by Hal and Razer. Though the whole matter is extremely vague to begin with. Additionally, it's not the first time a big hand was shown to have a part in the big bang among [[JusticeLeague DC animated adaptations]].

* It is established multiple times throughout the series that the Star Sapphires can reconnect one with their loved ones. [[spoiler: Then why didn't Razer use this in the finale to find Aya, or at least see if she was out there?]]

** Possibly after all somebody had to make the Oath up in the first place. The problem is finding an Oath that flows well and embodies the respective emotion is difficult.

* When Aya travels to the beginning of the universe, we see the pre-Big Bang universe being held in what looks like a human hand. Is that supposed to be God? If the writers are implying the existence of God and that he's involved in the Big Bang and creation of the universe...doesn't that raise the question of whether the big guy is going to allow a psycho robot from the future to royally mess up his creation?
