Shoot it with the plasma cannon.

Korra’s off this week due to Memorial Day.

Impressions:

That was a little better, or at least they’ve finally found a plot thread in the here and now to pick up on and follow that doesn’t involve standing around reviewing things in the past they thought not important enough to actually show, although I question Cadmus’s new plan. Kidnap runaway teenagers from the United States (well, El Paso is on the border), overnight them to the middle east, and then ship them by plane somewhere else. Don’t you have random kids to kidnap a little closer to home? It’s not like they’re a rare resource, and you are an absolute dictator. And you don’t seem to be collecting them for any particular reason since you just tossed Batgirl in for giggles when she fell into your lap, completely forgetting to disarm her, as per Official Batman Villain Handling Procedure. 

I found Blue Beetle’s side a lot more entertaining, oddly enough. It could be just that Wonder Girl still remains extremely obnoxious and is apparently fulfilling the butt of the group role now that Wally’s gone, or it could be that the Scarab’s approach to everything is to bathe it in a hot stream of plasma. "You must find inner peace." "HE KNOWS TOO MUCH! SHOOT HIM IN THE FACE." Granted, I’m not entirely certain what the actual point of Jaime wandering around and discovering his friend’s mom’s abusive boyfriend is an evil game/movie pirate wholesaler was supposed to be. It was also a little weird that Nightwing was also giving Hello, Megan the evil eye for supposedly mind raping yet more people offscreen. Turned out to be a lie, but still.
