Yes, I’m a fan, but I would not go out and buy a comic book because of it. However, that’s me. I am aware that there are those who would respond differently. It was a campy, quirky, uplifting episode. Some of the one liners was great. Also, the ‘to be continued’ ending implies that Harley’s powers could return, so stay tuned…..:)

It had plenty of problems, but I enjoyed it (even though this was the first time in my watching of GL that I found myself questioning Beth Ehlers — who plays Harley — though it is hard to act behind those contact lenses).

My favorite scene came when Harley is first noticing her powers and realizes she can manipulate home appliances, turning the microwave, toaster and can opener off and on by willpower. That scene reminded me of Electric Girl, which is bound to put me in a good mood.

From what little I’ve seen of online forums, I’d say the only people who enjoyed this were GL fans who also read superhero comics at some point, though it was a “Eh, it was cute and it’s not a permanent thing.” Then they usually mention one of the show’s memorably dumb storylines, usually the one that involved the Reva clone.
