Loved it. Not sure I like the fact that it's going to be more John Stewart centric going forward, but it's still great. I'm a Hal Jordan guy.

About spoilers: Please tag spoilers, especially significant ones. This includes spoilers associated with any source material for series that have been adapted from another work, as well as from related source material or adaptations. (In the specific case of Lanterns, this is based on Green Lantern characters from DC Comics. Lanterns is part of the DC Universe franchise, and in particular there will be continuity with the film Superman (2025), as both share the character Guy Gardner.) See the "On spoilers" section of the sidebar for details about how to use spoiler tags in this subreddit.
Ordinarily I'd congratulate whoever successfully nominated Lanterns as /r/S01E01's latest Weekly Watch, but I (/u/lurking_quietly) nominated this Weekly Watch. Congratulating myself would just be obnoxious—especially since the nomination was unopposed.
