The Hawk and Dove episode was ok. Maybe I would've liked it more if I had more feeling for these characters. The solution was telegraphed a mile away, so that was no surprise. I thought if they were going to go that way, it could've been a bit more inspiring though I understand that they didn't want to give it a totally happy ending either.
The exchange between Wonder Woman and Hephaestus was interesting though.

This new ep has to be seen to be believed. It has Batman singing, Circe turning WW into a pig, Zatanna, Bwana Beast, Red Tornado, Elogated Man, & a character that might be the Crimson Avenger.
All in all, a very unique ep. In a good way that is.

The WW as a pig episode was bizarre, but fun.
For the first time, the character of Zatanna worked for me, since I didn't have to stop and read her spells backwards.

Now THIS sounds more unlimited. I'll try to catch the rerun of this today.

There was even some in-joke dialogue about how one spell worked better forwards.
This wasn't a classic, but it had some classic moments, particularly at the end.

I'm a bit surprised that I haven't heard more criticism of an episode centered on two of the big three again. I don't really have a problem with whom the story is about as long as it's written well. I liked this one. The singing was enough to make me smile.

And another thing... I'd really like to see where they take the Wonder Woman and Batman relationship dynamic. I've got a feeling that they aren't going to visit these characters again at any length, anytime soon, but the writers have a pretty good Sam and Diane (from Cheers) situation set up that could provide alot of interesting moments.

I think it was supposed to be the Phantom Stranger. There was an Elongated Man cameo and the woman he met with might have been Jessie Quick (?) and don't forget Bwana Beast!
Great scene with Zatanna where BB's scoping her out. (hey man, she wears a tux and fishnets, we're not supposed to look?)
plus Circe - "A deal's a deal, tell him he can stop now." Zatanna - "Not on your life."
Then Diana humming the song in the closing scene. Priceless.
B'wana beast swinging around that lamppost... ogling Zatanna... "Have you seen this pig?"... CIRCE!!! If she was this entertaining in the comic books, she'd be right up there with the Joker and Luthor as frequent, meaningful villainess.
Medusa and her Hades County Blues... "Hippolyta, Hippolyta, Hippolyta... that's all I ever heard," (paraphrasing)...
...Circe singing (had me gigglin' as soon as they showed the stage-- wanting to show up her sisters, the Sirens!) BATMAN SINGING!!! And it FIT!
Weird and wacky... though I'm not crazy about a Batman/Wonder Woman romance, that's a small complaint.
I *do* wonder if nonDCU fans and kids would 'get' it.

I haven't been thrilled with the last two episodes -- first they get turned into kids, then WW into a pig? It's very silver age, which can be ok, but like I said, didn't thrill me. Batman singing was ok, but it shoulda been a showtune - something really humiliating for him, if they were going to go that way.
I also think that guy was the Crimson Avenger.
The new little into's and outro's for the commercial breaks were also really uninteresting (and were also based on last year's design (GL) and lineup (Hawkgirl)).

The Crimson Avenger hadn't occured to me before reading this thread. Interesting. ...and the Phantom Stranger would have been wholly inappropriate.
Anybody catch the new one yesterday? I was out on a family thing so I missed it last evening.
