"M'gann! You shouldn't have."
"Actually, it's..it's from Artemis too. We..bought it together."
What a downer. Also, the toast: "To absent friends." I laughed at that as well. Even though the bridal shower segment had nothing to do with the A story, it was the source of good comedy.
My general impression of this episode was negative on my first viewing. I think a lot of that has to do with my attempt to explain the show's entire continuity to my uninitiated friend (who just wanted to watch Clone Wars). I just watched it again (albeit in a mirrored version), and I liked it a lot more. It's greatly unfortunate that this fell almost four months after the previous episode. It absolutely kills the pacing. This show's serialized nature is not at all conducive to Cartoon Network's erratic scheduling.
So, in three weeks, Roy has somehow recovered enough from both an amputation and being frozen for eight years to operate highly efficiently. Really? Aside from that, I liked how his rebellion and confrontation with Luthor went. I hope they handle this mechanical arm deal better than they did the krypto-slappers Lex gave to Superboy. Like Mbruno pointed out, it's cool to have both Arsenal and Red Arrow.
Things I didn't like:
-On-the-nose dialogue and spelling everything out through exaggerated statements.
-The fact that the bridal shower and fallen heroes segments had no real point.
-Captain Cold having a case of the giggles.
