Tons of cameos this episode. Aside from about a dozen or so Green Lanterns there were appearances from Fire and Ice, Rocket Red, Red Tornado (who appears to have been destroyed by the Ivo 'bot), S.T.R.I.P.E., Red Star and quite a few others. Steel (John Henry Irons) and the Atom had speaking parts, as did Dr. Fate and Inza.
One thing I don't like about this series is that most of the guest stars don't ever get named. Steel, for example, was never mentioned by name in this episode, though he had a handful of lines. If I was a non-comics fan watching this I'd be completely confused about who was who and what everyone was doing there. I wish they'd make more of an effort to make the show a little bit more inclusive to those who haven't followed DC continuity over the last several decades. It's not going to be successful if most of the viewers can't figure out who all the players are supposed to be.

Crap. I know I didn't get to see ALL the JLA episodes but do they have to rub my nose in it? >sniff<
I liked this one but it didn't get me as excited as the last one. It's a thoroughly enjoyable series so far though.
The Guardians on OA aren't very likable are they? Not that they have to be but that seems to be the way people refer to them in the books and I never really got the reason why. In the cartoon now they come off as pompous jerks. I like it, that finally makes that bit work for me.

I caught most of the Saturday episode. Seeing the Kyle GL was kinda cool. Did anyone notice Ice's (of Fire and Ice) chest logo? It looked just like Polar Boy's logo. Did it always do that? Maybe Ice is Polar Boy's great, great,... great, great grandma!

It was fun seeing all those cameos and especially seeing the GLC again (Kyle Rayner was a surprise). Too bad Amazo and Red Tornado didn't have a little "android bonding" moment. Atom was also cool.
Has anyone seen the promo image of "Ultimatum" featuring the "Ultimen"? I haven't seen a good image, but I swear those are the original "Superfriends" creations. The two in purple look like the Wonder Twins, the big guy behind them looks like Apache Chief and one of them (the one on the left?) is named Wind Dragon - sounds like an updated Samurai to me. The other one must be the Mexican hero (forgot his name).

The next new episode, Ultimatum (above), doesn't show until December 4. So be prepared for more repeats.

Was there a new episode on this weekend or did it get pushed back again? I had the VCR set, but I haven't watched the tape yet to see if it was a new one or just another repeat.

The one in red and white was Wind Dragon, and he is the updated Samurai. The one on the far left is the updated version of Black Vulcan, the electrical guy.
I like how this story tied into the Power Girl one, and I loved seeing Maxwell Lord and Amanda Waller... she even made reference to the Suicide Squad... sweet!
Finally... the Wonder Twins are cool.... but this time around they're both female... I think..

I think one of the "Wonder Twins" was named Shift(?) It was a pretty cool episode, though I felt bad for those guys. I imagine this story isn't quite over yet though. I hope that when they return to this story the Question plays a part since he was the only one who had an inkling that there was a Conspiracy afoot...
