what a horrible night to have

I hope they at least notice and care about her disappearance now that she's a part of Clone Club proper. I could buy Sarah leaving her earlier due to the circumstances, but now Helena has been inducted into the group and sestras don't leave sestras behind.

I guess the implication is that he's always been in the military, just working as a double (or triple? I can't even keep up with it anymore) agent to infiltrate Project Leda. I don't know, I don't really understand Paul either. Maybe we'll get more clarity next season, but his actions in this episode as well as

You know, you'd really think by this point that someone would realize that nothing good can possibly come of abducting Helena. I fully expect the military to be in shambles and possibly on fire by the second episode of season 3.

I think it's interesting that a lot of characters that don't seem very interesting or likable at first end up becoming something more over the course of the series. Scott, Donnie, Gracie… The show seems to do pretty good with characters that are mostly ancillary, and not quite as good with the supporting characters

I think Helena is this season's MVP. Has any character had a greater transformation from scary psychopath to adorable wounded puppy with flashes of scary psychopath?

I've been watching this show lately and I like it a lot. It's pretty impressive how it pays homage to all the Scooby-Doo villain-of-the-week tropes while still having an overarching plot. It reminds me of a sort of kid-friendly animated version of Twin Peaks with the amount of weirdness in the show.
I love that the

I think she mostly moved past the "clones that aren't me must die" thing when she rebelled against Tomas and rejected the Proletheans' teachings. Granted, she's still super violent, but it's more directed toward people who are cruel to children or get in her way than her sestras nowadays.

If we don't get this in season 3, I'll be disappointed. Helena and Allison are the two clones that can make any interaction hilarious and/or violent, it only makes sense to put them together and see what happens.

I love that Helena is an unstoppable slasher villain that has switched sides and (sort of) become a good guy. She even retains her slasher villain power of never actually getting knocked out. The rest totally need to add her to the green phone club already so they can call her whenever they need an unstoppable

I feel like this game would be way better if they'd included a "skip this awful stealth section" like they had for the puzzles in Lords of Shadow 1. I'm stuck at the Agreus section currently, and I'm having trouble even forcing myself to launch the game to try to get through that awful mess.

Easy answer:  the original Iroh was a general, ergo New Iroh must also be a general.

Despite her limited appearance, Lin proves that she's one of the best characters in the show.  Sarcastically taking Korra down a peg in about ten seconds, chewing Mako out offscreen, and "WHAT THE FLAMEO HAPPENED HERE?"  I'm not sure if I really want a flashback to what happened when Tenzin broke up with her or not,

Yes, he's done well by Sinestro, but you're essentially going "Oh yeah?  Well here's an example where he didn't do that!"  Meanwhile, he's created at least a couple specifically-designed murder corps.  Including one that vomits blood on people.

Wood broke my heart with Star Wars.  I was really hoping for a return to the high space adventure style of the Original Trilogy, but Wood seems mostly uninterested in doing that.  I get that one of his calling cards is relationship drama, but after reading three issues, I didn't feel like most of the characters were

Natu is in the big final splash page, and I think she just showed up a couple issues ago in one of the other GL titles.  I don't think she's dead.

My biggest complaint is that Blackest Night focuses so much on the non-GL parts of the DCU.  The reason Sinestro Corps War works so well is that it's primarily about the Green Lanterns facing their opposites in battle, and you've got a few side stories like Superboy Prime fighting Earth's heroes, but it's never the

I haven't read a lot of Johns' early stuff, so my perception of him is more colored by his current output, which ranges from "vapid summer action blockbuster in comic form" to bordering on violence porn.

You should know that Geoff Johns never disappoints fans of dismemberment!

I'll give Johns props where he deserves them—the Sinestro Corps War is probably one of the best events in comics for not really seeming like your standard bloated event designed only to sell as many comics as possible.  I remember that first issue being a revelation at the time.

Geoff Johns doesn't even really utilize the Silver Age aesthetic beyond bringing back characters that were at their prime during that era.  There are some things worth consideration in the Silver Age:  imaginative, whimsical stories, villains that weren't solely defined by their desire to rape, murder, and pillage
