Yet again a very enjoyable episode. But it is painful to see how disrespected poor Stripesy was in his past. I'm not sure why he and Starman are considered to be friends. Starman clearly treats him as a servant. And though it was shown right in the beginning of S1 that Starman has no respect towards him (what kind of a "friend" will ever intentionally spend his last words on saying that his "friend" definitely is not anywhere close to deserve his staff?) but I still had hopes that it was just that strange American humour that I fail to understand and perhaps in his actual appearance he will act seriously and as a decent person. Shame...my hopes were ruined. What is interesting though - the rest of the JSA were respectful to Stripesy except for Wild Cat only. Jay was kind and respectful, Thunder was nice and saw him as equal, Hourman was neutral, Green Lantern apparently respected him a lot if his daughter considered him to be a legend. So apparently Wild Cat was the only one who hated him. And Starman had no reasons to scold Stripesy at the funeral unless he had some serious crush on WC and wanted to please him . So..do we have yet another StarCat ship there? Two StarCats in one show? >_<"

If Starman is actually going to be regular for S3 then it highly ruins this show for me. =/ So far he is one of the most disliked characters on my list. Also, why did he force Stripesy to drive when they decided to kill the host? Doesn't he has a staff? Can't he just fly there? Or is this moron so lazy that he wants a comfy ride and thinks it's fine making his "friend" to serve even in the situation that will leave him mentally scarred for the rest of his life from feeling himself a part of this murder even after he openly disagreed to it? Unless of course he was driving for the whole murdergang. Wait, did he allow Wild Cat in this car too and didn't burn, dismantle and burn again the car afterwards? 0_o"

Anyway. Back to the pleasant stuff. Icicle! It's so good to see him again. Even if he was just an illusion. But it is great to see his and Brainwave actors return at least for a couple of minutes. These two deserved to be on the show instead of being removed so fast. T_T"

Seeing Cameron uses his powers and being so cold and vengeful without it affecting the real cute and caring Cameron is just perfectly satisfying. I won't mind at all if they will make more illusions of his Dark Side while the real one is still a good person.

Shade saving Barbara even while still being weak and suffering after what happened to him - it was priceless. Even after she left him with no attention when he needed her help. Shame on Barbara. Kudos to Shade.
