Interesting enough premiere.

It has a very Transformers Prime feel both from the CGI designs and the fact that Hal and Kilowog are Jack and Bulkhead.

It does a good job introducing the mythos and characters.

I like how it states the guardians are responsible for destroying the homeworlds of the Red Lanterns. It makes things not as black and white as I expected it would be.

Hearing the MODOK-looking Red Lantern again I see he's voiced by Tom Kenny appropriately enough..

Also, in some of the DC Nation previews I've seen, Razor is fighting with Hal and Killawog. So I guess this confirms my previous theory...

I like how Razor went from Lawful Evil to more of an Anti-Villain. But I'm not feeling this CG animation style yet...

My only real problem with this show is that these Red Lanterns might as well be Sinestro Corps. Not enough anger displayed.

Apparently Razer's VA is Jason Spisak. (Bartz, Kid Flash) Woah

[up] That's where I've heard that name before. I saw his name in the credits and I recognized it, I just couldn't figure out where I heard of it before.

[up][up] Eh, it's only been two episode. I'll give it at least five.

Do we have confirmation of anymore Red Lanterns? I'm kind of hoping Dex-Starr and Bleez show up soon.

So far I like Hal in this, though I'm more familiar with the Bt Bat B version of Guy Gardner and the DCAU version of John Stewart.

[up][up] not just you...*has a strange infatuation with Bleez*

another thing...does Aya's bridge Module only look like a Personality Core?

[up][up][up]Your right, this show has a serious lack of rage-kitties.

I too hope we see Rage Kitty sooner rather than later.

Though I also wouldn't mind it if they're up for spending some episodes on other Lanterns besides Hal and Kilowag.

I mean, I wonder how they're planning on doing things when the three are over 9 months away from behind able to return from the fringe. Are they going to skip ahead 9 months for the next episode? Have Saint Walker and Larfleeze flying around in the fringe as well? Have each episode take place a month apart? Do some episodes that don't involve people way out on the fringe?

[up] I don't think it will take an entire season. The show is on a several month hiatus so they could just skip ahead several months, say five or so. The drive isn't completely repaired but significant progress has been made.

They could also have them team up with other fringe lanterns.

To answer your other questions I have a feeling Larfleeze and Saint Walker will be on the fringe as well. It's the most logical way to explain why the G Ls don't know about them.

Speaking of future events, when does the next episode air?

Well the episode that premiered last night was just a sneak peek, and the official premire is sometime next spring.

Maybe after showing the Guardians imagery of Atrocitus they're having a Mass "Oh, Crap!" and they build MORE ships.

[up] That's a possibility but it depends on how long it took to build the other one. Also keep in mind the other still had some bugs so it probably wasn't even completely finished.

Alternatively, Hal and Killowag steal a suitable replacement part for the ship from the Red Lanterns. Razor built that probe that broke the part in the first place, so maybe he's an engineer and could make the part post Heel–Face Turn?

[up] That makes me think of something else.

How long do you wanna bet he stays locked up? My money's on five episodes max.

Interesting start. I hope the cast grows more than just Jack and Bulkhead.

If you don't understand it with a wink, you certainly will with a blow.

Near the end Aya was shown at the very least maintaining a ring projection, does that mean she is/could be a Green Lantern herself?

[up][up]I will totally call Actor Allusion if they bring in Jeffrey Combs to play a blue alien that calls Hal "pinkskin."

[up][up] I don't know. I suppose she could technically be one since her AI can evidently control the Green light through her engine. I just worry about the engine running dry if she uses it too much.

[up] Never watched Enterprise, sorry.

[up]Wasn't there a Green Lantern Mathematical Equation at some point in the comics? Compared to that I'd have no problems accepting a ship as a Green Lantern.

[up] Wouldn't know since I just started reading the comics recently.

However there's evidently a planet GL and some kind of virus/fungal spore so I think a ship, especially an intelligent one, being a GL is nothing outlandish.

There is also Mogo the Green Lantern Planet (not to be confused with Oa the planet of the Green Lanterns). Also, Mogo, like Aya, is powered directly by a large Lantern Battery.
