Episode Synopsis

As the crew of Kilowog, Razer, Aya, and Hal Jordan attempt to reach the Lighthouse for the Red Lanterns do, Atrocitus and Zox have Byth Rok captured, trying to get the code. Naturally Rok appears to want to make a deal, but his greed does not make the Red Lanterns happy.

Meanwhile, the group reaches the lighthouse, but the Red Lanterns have already beaten then there, having gotten the code from Byth Rok. They engage in a fight but the defenses prove to be too much. With the Red Lantern Armada on route, they have to shut down the defenses, to destroy the Lighthouse which Aya does.

On Mogo, Saint Walker and the Living Planet talk about the savior, which is not Mogo. Meanwhile Drusa and Zartok await the Red Lanterns, as Zartok believes that he will lead due to the fact that he is a great general. Mogo tells Saint Walker to ascend to the top of the mountain, where he fights the Blue Lantern and a Blue Lantern Ring.

The lighthouse appears to be destroyed, with the ship of Atrocitus appearing to be destroyed, but it was a trap in an attempt to kill Razer, Kilowog, and Hal Jordan. Meanwhile, Atrocitus and Zox, with the hel of Drusa have commandeered the newly repaired interceptor, with Aya under Red Lantern Control. They set to OA, with the Red Lantern Armada coming straight at Kilowog, Hal Jordan, and Razer, our heroes helpless.

Episode Review

A great episode overall from Green Lantern the Animated Series on this week. I really enjoyed this one overall, one of those episodes that left you right at the edge of your seat, all of the action, all of the twists.

The callbacks to a lot of the other episodes of the season, as we reach the end of this penultimate episode and the season one finale of Green Lantern the Animated Series next week is great.

When the heroes went to check the ship of Atrocitus, I knew it was going to be a trap. Obviously things were not going to go that easy but it does set up a finale for next week of Green Lantern the Animated Series.

Kilowog's comments about Hal being the last person to talk about someone disobeying the rules made me snicker.

The interaction between Saint Walker and Mogo throughout this episode was rather good.

Final Thoughts and Rating

Overall a good episode, 8.5/10 for sure. Hopefully next week's finale will be good. You can watch Green Lantern the Animated Series Episode 12 Invasion if you missed in Sunday Morning at 10:00 AM Eastern Time and on Cartoon Network On Demand and also watch new episodes of Green Lantern every week on Saturday Morning at 10:00 AM Eastern.
