Review: It was nice seeing Cyborg again, and be relevant to the story as well. His transformations here were pretty creepy though not quite as horrific as his initial accident was shown. It’s kind of cool he’s getting better now that he’s freed from under the Father Box’s control, and he even tried reconciling with his dad.
Violet’s sub-plot was handled pretty well. I admit I wasn’t even expecting her to visit Gabrielle’s family. I liked how her mother still understood part of what happened and appreciated her efforts, in a way.
Pretty cool seeing more of Atlantis. I think it’s hilarious how we really have an “unnamed meta teen” as a character, and the others call her as such. But to be fair, they did offer a decent enough explanation as to why she hasn’t revealed her name yet. Seeing Kaldur’s family was nice, and I also liked the quick appearance of King Orin. The big reveal of Kaldur and Wyynde being in a relationship was cool. It was a quick scene and they didn’t dwell on it too much (and I don’t think there was really any reason to do so), but they got the point across.
It was also nice seeing a different side of Harper. That was probably the most realistic plot in this episode. It was handled well enough, too.
Metron was a pretty cool addition. I liked how arrogant he was, didn’t really think of him as annoying or anything. And of course he offers a kind of cryptic hint in regards to one of the villains this season. I also liked the Source Wall (was I the only one looking for a cameo of Galactus, like on Justice League Unlimited? :p). The heroes bumping into Superman was kind of random, though I appreciated seeing him again and the short talk he had with Conner.
Not much from Brion this episode, but he still kind of made his presence felt. And Tara’s arc seems to be headed in a different direction, which is fine with me. But we’ll see how well it will play out.
All in all, a pretty great episode. Kind of crowded but I think they managed to get the most out of each sub-plot. Each one had some pretty cool and more dramatic stuff in it.
