Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The Green Lanterns travel to Betrassus, a high tech yet medieval world, where they become embroiled in a murder investigation that could bring down Queen Iolande’s kingdom before it even begins.
Our Take
This one leans into space-opera mystery vibes, and the medieval-meets-technology setting gives it a nice change of pace from the usual flying-and-fighting. The murder investigation holds together well enough, though the suspect pool is thin and savvy viewers will guess the twist early. It’s a solid middle-of-the-road episode with some good character work for Kilowog, worth a watch but not essential.
