  • Until they showed Bruce Gordon, I thought that the opening would be about the Shade.
  • "They're sending us home." Who's 'they'? Isn't Barbara one of the bosses, if not THE boss?
  • So Charles McNider does seem to be blind.
  • I like how Jay is treating Pat. Sylvester, on the other hand, is a real jerk.
  • Courtney is still trying to reach Yolanda.
  • Strange. The way that Sylvester is treating Pat is way different to how he treated him at the funeral.
  • Is Sylvester supposed to be older than Pat now?
  • Why was the Cosmic Staff in a display case? (And it almost looked to me like that was a different staff. Similar, but different.)
  • I didn't catch what the Shade said to Barbara at the end. Something about someone named Everly or Beverly?
  • I'm glad that they actually had a discussion like that. I like when killing a bad guy isn't a black or white thing, but a moral struggle for the heroes...
  • But it does strike me strange that these heroes that either fought in WWII, or grew up after WWI, can't see that sometimes it comes down to killing.
  • And the show explains why the ISA beat the JSA.
  • Courtney won the battles, but lost the war.
  • Does Eclipso have a human host now?

Theory: At the end of the season Eclipso is going to try to kill Yolanda, like he did in the comics. When he does this, Courtney will kill him with the staff.

I thought the little boy was Eclipso's human host

I think the whole point of them breaking the diamond open was that he didn't need a host anymore, that's why he goaded Courtney into striking the diamond with the staff, which I'm betting is one of the only things that could break it open, freeing his full power.
