Yes! Someone pointed out that this season is all about things that DONT happen in a day, and having some follow-up and fallout from last time is a good manifestation of that.
And we live to fight another day.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
That trailer was very confusing. They only have one ring between them? Also, I'm confused by Hal saying he's the only human Lantern considering Guy exists in-universe and based on Superman been at it for awhile.

I currently have a DC Unlimited subscription, and Tom King's run on Wonder Woman is an intense hate-read for me. I'm already seeing some Tom Kingisms in this trailer; I hope the rest of the writing staff will sand down his worst aspects.

What do you hate about it? That piques my curiosity.

So, a while back, a TV writer I like, Javier Grillo-Marxuach, was doing a Q&A, and I asked him what writing lessons you could take away from Andor. His answer was something along the lines of, “The writers on Andor are very good at making archetypes personal, and the personal archetypal”.
And that made me realize what was bothering me about King. His characters are nothing but archetypes. So not only does he SHOW them doing archetypal things, his characters are mostly SAYING things like “I must do this archetypal thing because I am an archetype, that’s who I am.” His Wonder Woman is so much an archetype that she doesn’t seem to be a person with agency.

Oh, interesting!
I can't tell from the trailer if I will want to watch Lanterns or not. Kyle Chandler is certainly a draw, but I am not really liking the role so far...

Forgot to watch The Pitt last week until today, two back to back is a lot. No rats, though.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm glad I learned about the... great big genius mice. I'll not be watching that now.
