		<description><![CDATA[Sow how did Brother Eye apparently in the future inevitably stop or kill Fifty Sue? A godlike character like this is REALLY hard not to create plot holes with, though I could commend how they wrote it off (She finds NOT solving all the problems more &quot;fun&quot;) although in retrospect she just feels so Meta of a character. Her &quot;it&#039;s less fun that way&quot; attitude can easily come off more like &quot;Because there wouldn&#039;t be a plot, dummy!&quot; and the end to her and her &quot;family&#039;s&quot; storyline almost LITERALLY ends with them just saying &quot;Just go with it. Don&#039;t think too hard, just accept that this is how things are now.&quot; 

Also, considering that she appears to be eight, they imply she&#039;s older and simply chooses to stay &quot;eight,&quot; even offering to show Lana her best rendition of 19. Wouldn&#039;t this mean she is very clearly ALREADY ALIVE in the current, only five-years-ago DC present?

Why did Rock and his girl-squad gas Voodoo? This feels like leaving a question open that we know isn&#039;t going to be answered, since the series is over and Beyond takes place in the future.

So wait...Command D is programmed to just NOT EVER OPEN AGAIN?! I think there might be one or two technical flaws in this idea.

Is Ethan Bower supposed to be someone? He feels like he&#039;s a reference to something, but he&#039;s not Japanese Toyman, who is now Toymaster!

WHAT HAPPENED TO KEY, COIL &amp; PLASTIQUE?! They were setup with a decent storyline and trip at the ending when they run off and are just not seen again. 

Why does Tim think that Brother Eye won&#039;t JUST DO whatever he wants anyways? Also, how is able to send him forward into the future?!

Why is Father Time evil? I mean, he is BASICALLY just as much &quot;evil&quot; as someone like John Constantine, in that he/she is super-manipulative, but he&#039;s not EVIL! In the end, it turns out he&#039;s COMPLETELY IN THE RIGHT on Engineer! Why is him being a brain alien somehow negating his ability to run SHADE? Also...doesn&#039;t his body change EVERY YEAR?! It&#039;s been five!

Tim, you could not have dropped that ball any harder in stopping Brother Eye. You had ONE JOB! If he revealed his suit was rigged to explode and just kamikazed the whole thing, even THAT would still be better, especially considering that it would just re-fix time again. Why would you trust a heartless machine to do anything but lie to you? Also I like how your plan isn&#039;t something like &quot;ram yourself into Darkseids fleet&quot; and is instead &quot;SORRY EARTH-2! 2 Bad for You!&quot;

Where did John go? Yeah he picked up Superman, got his only two friends killed when they apparently had NO REASON to even be with him and after Superman flies off to save the day...nothing!

I&#039;ll admit I didn&#039;t read ALL the one-shots so maybe they say there...Why is batman not involved anymore? What was this &quot;trick&quot; they pulled on Superman? 

Where are ALL the Green Lanterns during all this? Or ANY lanterns?! They couldn&#039;t find a way to stop Brother Eye or the Parademons?

I also like how King Faraday, DEFINITELY one of the biggest villains in this entire series, got NO COMEUPPANCE! Yeah, he&#039;s in Command D, but...he got away with LITERALLY everything! He didn&#039;t get the Vault and he didnt get his evil way, but he still ESCAPED ALL JUSTICE!

Did Lois actually say anything about the Cadmus crisis? I also still wasn&#039;t sure if Rock was working for Faraday or vice-versa. 

Despite Brainiacs huge New York stealing setup being totally awesome...it sort of falls off when he has to turn it into A GIANT MOTORCYCLE to DRIVE NEW YORK HOME. 

I am still upset that this whole series&#039; legacy leads to 2 things: Convergence, which sort of tell apart on its own &amp; Batman Beyond which looks a bit more like Beyondi, the Last Batman on Earth.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I didn&#039;t bother with the weekly and judging from the recaps I&#039;ve read here, I&#039;m happy ( &amp; richer) that I didn&#039;t. It seems to me that the Editors just aren&#039;t on the ball and are putting out sub par material. I used to be a DC kid but had to drop all of my titles from them except for Aquaman, and even that title seems to be faltering with that new team to the series. Not too sure how I like the new Aquaman &quot;action figure&quot; with extendable Sword-to-Trident accessory included. Alas, that too may be dropped soon if the team fails to deliver what the 2 prior teams did. As soon as I hear that Dan the dIdiot is no longer DC&#039;s main editor, I&#039;ll probably start checking out the DC titles once again, but until then, I have to say no thanks.]]></description>
