Summary

Hal Jordan is knocked into a parallel zone containing a steampunk Earth, where he teams up with its Lantern Gil Broome to save it from a cataclysm.

Our Take

A fun detour that leans hard on its steampunk gimmick, and mostly gets away with it. Gil Broome is a charming stand-in Lantern with a decent backstory, though the villain is thin and the whole thing feels like a breather between bigger arcs. The clockwork visuals are a nice change of pace. Worth a watch, just don’t expect it to move the season forward much.
