If you wanna pick up a GL comic that doesn't feel every issue ends with a Cliffhanger, then the GL: Animated Series comic is probably the one for you.

One sequence that got cut very, very early (during the animatic stage of production) occurred at the end of the episode. It's at night, and Carol is shown waiting in her office, stood up by Hal. She checks her clock (or watch, I can't remember), then gets up in frustration, shuts off the lights and leaves the room. I thought it was a cool Hal-Carol relationship moment, but alas, the episode (even at the time) was way long and it never made it to animation.

^I wish they didn't cut that scene because they hyped Hal's date with Carol throughout the 2-part episode only to leave it unanswered. To me this cut scene should have ended the episode. Hal missing his date with Carol would have shown the sacrifices he has to make when he's protecting his sector. When the show ended, I told my brother, "I guess Hal stood up Carol and missed his date."

Well, they did have that dialogue where Kilowog mentions the date and Hal says they have more important concerns.

That's not his fault though. It was pretty clear that Hal and Kilowog would be out in "frontier" space for a long time. I think ending on that Carol scene would have been a real downer. Especially for a premiere episode.

True, I forgot about that part. At the end, to me it just seemed that the writers forgot about the date. I'll have to rewatch this when CN airs it again.

True, but it would've been a good motivation for Carol if she becomes Star Saphire in a future episode. This incident could also be a reason he could tell Carol he's GL. The cut scene isn't a big deal. I was just hoping Hal would of made it to his date with Carol, even if the situation he was in made it impossible. We'll see if other episodes mention it, but I doubt it since it's a show set mostly in space.

for now lets worry how the first season ends up before we discuss star saphire carol.

Agreed, we'll have wait and see how Timm and Co. handle Season 1. To me they improve on each GL project they create. By the way, I thought the 1hr premiere wasn't perfect, but it was good. I can't wait for CN to rerun it and air new episodes next year.

How did it get nominated for only one episode?

[W.West Moderator Find all posts View Profile Close W.West]

Yeah but still, look at all the other nominations. It just seems weird to me to nominate a 1hr show.
