Re: Green Lantern: The Animated Series (Spoilers)

Just to add a few more comments, there's a lot of double meanings in the dialog that I liked. Aya saying she felt she'd see Razor again could be taken in a religious sense, as in the afterlife, especially since she says she'll be watching over him. That could also explain why Razor still feels her presence. She could be really dead and he just feels her spirit. A viewer could take all this as very spiritual, which would be sort of sad in a way for Razor. Another person could simply say that it's a comic book universe and she is simply still alive somewhere in some form and Razor knows that and will find her.

EDIT: I also loved seeing the hand of creation again, which really makes for a show that could be part of the same continuity as Justice League Unlimited

I haven't watched this week's Young Justice quite yet, but I did watch the last episode of Green Lantern TAS last night...

DANG! What an epic and emotional episode. The part where Razer tried to kill Aya, failed, and then Aya accidently killed him was just heart-wrenching.

I can't freaking believe this is getting cancelled and instead we get goofy-as-heck cartoons like Teen Titans Go.

What's quite sad is that the creators obviously thought they were going to get a Season 3, because this episode set up stuff for the next season: The GL Corps has to rebuild from their losses. Guy Gardner was introduced, and John Stewart was mentioned. Razer is going on a search for Aya. The "being" that the science-Guardian pulled a sliver of life-essence from to use on Aya when creating sounded like The First Lantern from that description, to me. Who was just so recently revealed as a character in the Green Lantern comics and the current GL storyline is revolving around in the comics.

So many unresolved story threads there. I hope they at least make an animated movie to tie things up.

The origin of time has always been depicted that way in DC Comics. In my own comic collection I can go as far back as the early 80s with Green Lantern, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Crisis on Infinite Earths comics and see "The Hand" in their depictions of the dawn of time. It's repeated throughout the years in other comics I own like Zero Hour, later Green Lantern issues, and The Spectre.

So it's just a DC Comics thing. It really doesn't show evidence of a connection between the 2 continuities of the 2 cartoons.

So, it that supposed to be like the hand of God? And did it create all the universes in DC?

A lot has been said about what a great action cartoon this is, but it's also one of the best love stories I've ever seen on television. I love this series and will miss it.

They never directly call it the hand of God. But the allusion seems clear enough to me.

Funny how he's just sort of ignoring this little machine tampering with his creation of the universe

Finally watched the last episode. It was really good and I was also glad to see that a Blue ring started following him. It was a good 'ending' but I can tell it was sort of left open for season 2. Still though, not too shabby. Cartoon Network are idiots for canceling this. I'm 3 episodes away from finishing Young Justice.
