- If all those people with Kyle were there(in his flashback training battle) when he did his training, then Hal never "killed" the lost lanterns and they just lost their powers like everyone else.

When did he ever kill the Lost Lanterns, anyway? I mean, he beat them up, but specifically mentioned, on-panel, leaving them enough power to survive, and Boodikka, at least, showed up in Last Will and Testament. Though it was made clear that he was likely responsible for an unspecified number of GL deaths when their rings enexpectedly lost power, the only GL that he actually killed directly was Kilowog, as far as I recall. I would say the survival of those lanterns isn't really all that much of a change. Their presence (and the presence of ANY other GLs) when Kyle was a newly minted GL is the BIG change.

Pocket dimensions were rendered inaccessible during the battle with the battery shepherds (iirc).

At any rate, they've gone back and forth whether pocket dimensions can only be accessed in one place or anywhere.

Whether they use the PD's or something new, I just feel like the "I've got get back home to recharge" storyline has run it's course. With all the knowledge and power of the GOTU and the GLC, how have they not figured out that problem by now?

^Agreed. Plus, if they can't access it anywhere, you'd think they'd carry them around with them (especially for long missions) like the Indigo Tribe. Maybe make a backpack of it or something.

Thanks for all the replies, gents. Another thing that bothers me is that Kyle had to return home to charge his ring. I thought we were getting away from that dynamic for the GLC when the pocket dimension was introduced. Not to mention the Indigo Tribe, a much younger corps, found a way to carry an instrument for an on-hand charge, so why not the GLs?

I made a thread about this a while back and why the GL hadn't bothered trying to copy the Indigos in this way. The only thing that was brought up was a lantern who had his battery as a headband or something if my memory serves me.

That's why I had it in quotation marks. People assumed many lanterns were left floating in space and that some died, until Hal found them in that cave later on. Just saying that story arc never happened either seeing as how they are all alive and well during Kyle's training.
