"Don't We Have An App That Does This Boring Stuff For Us?"

MY EMOTIONS. MY EMOTIONS.



Okay, to start with, we had Aya telling Razer that she likes him just the way that he is. I can't even.

And the "seduction" scene was both incredibly creepy and entertaining as fuck. Poor Aya was just so confused! She's experimenting with a new glaze! RAZER WAS LOOMING.

The season is going to end on an epic kiss between them, isn't it? Oh god, it has to, I desperately want to see another version of the whole leaning scene again, because we've seen how they interact with each other physically before:

And when Razer's himself, there is a fluidity to their hugs/embraces that was totally missing when possessed!Razer turned Aya's head from one side to the other (that she let him, how robotic that motion was, was one of the things that made that scene so fucking creepy.)

Also, this episode reminded me that I really like Hal - he's fun and flippent and I loved his conversation with Aya regarding hormones! He was about to give her the birds and bees talk! LOLZ.

Also, I'm quite intrigued at the idea of a new, "bad" Lantern. I'm liking where that might be going.

But the ending killed me! He was so concerned he'd done something to her! Because the person you care about most is who you're afraid you've going to hurt when you've been possessed! And she thinks that he doesn't like her! (Understandable. But Razer, get on fixing that!)

(In other new, Young Justice continues to be a half an hour each week of all the secondary characters I never cared about in the first place.)

So even though this is definitely a Green Lantern post, you did make a small comment about YJ, so I'm commenting here.

I kinda want to hurt the writers because we didn't get a scene with M'Gann and Connor actually TALKING. talking about what she had done and how she feels terrible about it and her holding in the fact that she knows that Artemis is actually alive and that Kaldur isn't a traitor. Talking about the fact that abusing her powers is WHY Connor broke up with her in the first place, because they disagreed when it came to how she was using them to begin with, that he thought she should be far more careful with them and she thought he was being too overprotective.

*shakes head* I just.....gah. That moment would have been perfect. OH! And the only reason she wasn't talking to Lagoon Boy about it and couldn't? Because she CAN'T. Because she knows that he'll tell her it was okay, that it was an accident, that Kaldur somehow deserved what she did to him because he killed Artemis and/or because he's a traitor to their side.

Whereas Connor? Connor is going to be there for her to talk to, and he'll just sit and listen, but he won't tell her that what she did was okay, or right. He won't justify her actions, but he also won't brag about the fact that he was right either. And he'll take whatever she doles out because he knows that she needs it, that she needs to get it out. He's the only person that she CAN talk to and them not be judgmental, because he's already done it and split up with her because of it, because she refused to be more careful (that's what I got from it anyway).

I just need this scene in my life. Badly.

*nods*

Agreed.

I have been really frustrated by the relationship changes and issues that the writers set up with L'gann and Conner and M'gann, and they the way that they avoided actually having Conner and M'gann face them; or only allowed discussion off screen.
