I was disappointed in this episode. For all the hype, it seemed to add only a couple fancy camera angles and a slightly-larger effects budget. Storywise is just sort of plodded along and there wasn't any real combat to speak of.
As someone who has a basic familiarity with the DC canon, it didn't evoke any deep nostalgic twinges seeing the JSA brownstone. Rather, I was just hoping they'd get on with the story. They never did explain how these people have never been referenced before when clearly they were a big deal, running (and flying) around the city just a generation earlier.
And what was that weird Batman-voice Michael Shanks was doing?
On the plus side, the Dr. Fate helmet was very cool and the Star Girl actress was plenty spunky, even if she didn't have much to do other than drop the info-dumps.
"I'd trade 40 Avengers books for another six issues of Alias. Any day of the week, buddy."
Oh, me too. Me too.
We've had two such snowstorms here in northern New England and they've passed without comment. I even drove back from Ohio in one of them.
Up here we lose our minds only when the temp goes above 90 or the humidity level gets past 75%, so to each their own.
