Response to Karl's review (part two):
I'm glad you enjoyed all the twists, and I'm very excited that you're not certain as to what could happen next -- hopefully that means you'll get a couple of good surprises. xD
Chloe had a lot of great moments in this episode that I had fun writing. Her final scene with Martha was one of my favourites to pen, simply because it was very much focused on addressing their past, and paving a way for their future, outside of the shadow of Clark Kent. And Chloe has already done this, but Martha was looking for that - and who better to help her than Chloe? So, I'm really glad you liked the Chloe/Martha stuff, and the Chlollie proposal. It was sort of a pretty nasty cliffhanger to end it on, but I love ending episodes with shocking moments. xD
Bruce has a lot more to go through in the next three episodes. I can tell you now that he won't come out of this battle unscathed, and that there may be a few consequences to the sort of trauma he goes through that will stick with him for while. So there's a lot to look forward to when it comes to Bruce. He's in every single episode this season, so its fun to write a lot more for him. xD
I knew you'd hate Courtney Whitmore (Stargirl)'s death, but I felt like it would be a copout NOT to pull it off the way it was pulled off. Besides, her death, and Canary's kidnapping, led to Dinah getting more episodes in this next run, which is a positive to look out for in this terrible situation. Like Martha, I didn't want Courtney to just be her regular self, and have no where to go. She couldn't just appear, and that's it. She needed to develop, somewhere to move, and so I made her very hostile towards Chloe, and the JLA, and not finding her family. I'm glad you liked that I didn't skip over the fact she had a hard life, because she really has. She's lost a lot of loved ones, and she had a very tragic end to her character. I can tell you that the team will learn about Courtney's death in next week's episode.
Dinah was put through a lot in this one. It was fun to write the dynamic between her and Courtney -- it was no Selina/Holly, but it was still fun. Dinah didn't really betray the team [which I explained in the question/answer response], but you will see more of her next week, and I'm really excited about the handful of scenes she gets in "Army."
As always, excited to see your eventual thoughts on Alberto Falcone, once his story wraps up.
Yes, I personally put that Perry/Martha relationship mention in there just for you because I remember you wanting to know what happened to them back when season one was airing. So I'm glad you caught that. Basically, Martha came to terms with the fact she couldn't date anyone and she couldn't give Perry what he wanted - a marriage. Personally, I'd like to believe it didn't get to the stage where Perry proposed, only because I wouldn't want to see Perry get let down that much, but they did eventually part ways. I'm really glad you liked Martha's character in this one -- I admit, it was very different from how we usually see her on Smallville, but it was done on purpose. I also made sure Chloe always called Martha "Mrs. Kent" because everytime I read those words, I can hear Chloe's voice, so it helped Chloe's voice come through a lot more in those scenes. And yeah, I had a blast writing for Martha. I hope I get the opportunity to do so again, but right now, she's off in Odyssey, in Chris' hands. xD
Thank you sooo much for the review Karl! I loved reading every single thought and question you had -- I hope you enjoy the next three episodes just as much. xD

Well my questions are answered BUT im still mad that Stargirl was the one that died . At LEAST it wasnt AC Yeah, I'm sorry about Stargirl. She got a pretty epic death scene though. And good news: You will see both Oliver and Dinah in Miami (in episode #11), recruiting both Arthur Curry, and Mera. And they'll both be kicking ass in the big battle against the K.C.S. |

YAY . I missed that Fish-Girl. When they aired her on smallville....I LITERALLY almost fell out of my futon  . Her attitude was fantastic but i ONLY wish that she had more screen time with the League NOW here is a question....Will we see Pat Dugan appear in WT? Considering his Step-Daughter is dead |

Seeing as I don't even know who Pat Dugan is off the top of my head, I can safely say you won't see them anytime soon, that's for sure, lmfao. I'm guessing they're connected to Stargirl?

Her Step-Father. She mentioned him in "Absolute Justice" in Chloe. He was the Superhero "Stripsy" Here is the link ALL about him: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Dugan |

^ Well, then, no. I don't think he'll be on the show.

^^ That's a good question. Off the top of my head, I dont' think she will be -- but there may be something I'm missing because I haven't looked over the season notes of late. Chloe will be rather busy with other stuff post "War." You'll get to see Dinah mentoring Helena a little bit next year, though. xD

hahah. Oh Amin Meanwhile.... YAY . I love Dinah and Helena. Maybe that mentoring thing can stem from how she was trying to be a mentor to Courtney and failed her. And so wants to impart wisdom to Helena |

^Ya know, that would actually be a very interesting theme to explore between the two, Dinah determined to 'succeed' with Helena to extreme lengths or something close to it.

And so wants to impart wisdom to Helena Well Dinah didn't really know Courtney that well, let alone, wanted to mentor her, but that is a very interesting aspect to explore. There'll be a lot of stuff between Dinah and Helena next year that I'll have a lot of fun writing. xD |

YAY In the cartoons they have the type of relationship that Tess and Lois have. Meanwhile in the comics they are more friendly because of Barbara and how she brought them together. And im sure you heard that Oracle is becoming Batgirl again? |

Re: Target
D.D.-What a cliffhanger! Poor Oliver... Poor Chloe as well. I can't wait to see how you resolve this. Glad to see the engagement, though. I see you mentioned the prior wedding. Are you writing it as though they never got married in the first place? That was my take on it. On a similar note, on your posts on Kryptonsite, you seemed to view the wedding as having taken place on Smallville. Do you feel that way (still), and/or did you change this for "Watchtower?" Just a curiousity thing for me.

^^ Thanks! In WT, they were married prior to this, but when Chloe faked her death, Oliver lost his wife, in all sense and purposes. It was addressed in the actual script, through dialogue. I'm not sure where you got the impression it never happened?

Sometimes, I just miss things. I don't really care either way. But thanks for clearing that up. I can't wait to see the honeymoon. Will you have a honeymoon? Have you considered a honeymoon?

D.D.-I just have to ask this. In order to create, or help create this website, make the videos, write stories, AND go to school, you obviously are quite smart. But how much time do you actually have to do all this?
