2* At first, [[spoiler:Aya's evil colour scheme seems]] needlessly stereotypical. However, think about: what does [[spoiler:she]] want? The anihilation of all emotion and life [[spoiler: or at least that's what she claims]]. Who in the comics ComicBook/GreenLantern universe wants that? Add in the fact that [[spoiler: she's powered by the Anti-Monitor]]. That's right, [[spoiler: Aya is the first '''Black Lantern''' (or Black entity).]]
3* In "Heir Apparent", it's easy to suspect Ragnar's plan to inherit a Green Lantern Ring had gone wrong when Kilowog's ring doesn't produce a uniform for him.
4* Though certainly jerkish, the Guardians' reaction to Aya in the second half of season 1 sense in light of the Manhunters. The last time they made [=AIs=] capable of independent thought, an entire sector was eradicated. Their new one developing a personality would be cause for concern.
5* The Guardians going straight for the presumably lethal method of studying Aya (dissection) instead of observing her under strictly controlled circumstances seems needlessly extreme and destructive, even with their fear of a repeat of the Manhunters. Especially as Aya appeared to be unlike them; when she outgrew her programming as a navcomp, she developed a conscience and emotions, the opposite of what the Manhunters did. [[spoiler:Then we find out that the Science Director created her as an experiment in making an AI with emotions, and when past!Aya got too curious and discovered the Science Director's secrets, SD wiped her memory, sealed away her emotions, and hid her in the Interceptor. As Aya managed to unseal her emotions, and the Science Director was apparently in charge of studying Aya, it makes sense that she'd jump straight to dissecting her; she's trying to eliminate Aya to protect her own secrets.]]
6* When Razer fights a Manhunter for the first time, he completely annihilates it in under 30 seconds. The Red Lanterns were formed in response to the Manhunters.
7* Why does Razer carry a bunch of knives and shuriken with him? Because they're [[{{Pun}} Razer-sharp]].
8* Razer can go for months without food, lives in a desert where food is scarce, but heat is abundant, and was so good at making traps that he was in charge of them throughout his entire sector. Since those are all traits of cold-blooded creatures like reptiles, no wonder Razer hates getting angry.
9* LANOS is a cube as opposed to Aya's sphere. [[StealthPun He's a]] FlatCharacter!
10* Aya's name. [[spoiler: She is part of Ion.]]
11* Aya says she is not a killer in "Blue Hope." [[spoiler: In "Dark Matter," Hal discovers all of the star systems she destroyed were uninhabited.]]
12* Razer has blue eyes. Foreshadowing to [[spoiler:him becoming a Blue Lantern?]]
13* In "Into the Abyss", Hal Jordan flies with the current of the pinhole (read: black hole) to slingshot the ship out of the gravity well of the pinhole, even flying in its accretion disc. It might sound like nonsense, but a ''rotating'' black hole has a region of rotating space-time around it called an Ergosphere, and the Penrose Process allows for the extraction of energy from the black hole to slingshot a spaceship out of the Ergosphere. While not an exact reproduction of the process, and there are inaccuracies with its application, what Hal does in the episode ''is scientifically accurate''.
14* In ''Beware My Power Part 2'', the conversation between Hal and Amala suddenly feels more poignant when you realize that, in the comics, Hal also lost his father in a plane accident at a young age.

17* After [[spoiler:Aya goes all AIIsACrapshoot in "Cold Fury"]], it is quite possible that the Red Lantern Corps is almost entirely dead, if not completely.
