I'm just waiting for Rule 34 to kick in now that her image is on the net...

Kilowog gets himself a horned hippo honey in hotpants.
What Hal Jordon didn't realize is the flyng jellyfish weren't just miners, they were ranchers, too...and were keeping the humanoids docile for future slaughtering. (Maybe not, but there's a cut and dried "I figured it all out" to the plot that ignores questions...like why are such two vastly different species on this planet with no shown means of space travel? And why did it take Kilowog's ring longer to be affected by the mineral?)
Aya's humanoid form lost an arm and a leg last episode, now she's got two arms and no legs. Bitch is faking it.

Our planet is home to at least two species of high intelligence, humans and dolphins, which are very different from each other. Not to mention other species of relatively high intelligence and possible self-awareness, such as other great apes, other cetaceans, elephants, and some cephalopods. An octopus or squid is as vastly different from a human as "Norman"'s species was from the Zoar, but we evolved on the same planet. A planet's a big place, after all.
Maybe the Zoar only recently migrated to the part of the world where the floaty beings live, so they've had little prior contact with them or with the yellow crystals (which I'm tempted to nickname sinestronium).
I think Hal said that some of the crystals were more potent (maybe more pure?) than others. And Kilowog seemed to be exposed to smaller pieces, as well as ingesting small quantities of the crystal in the soup.
Maybe they used the pieces of the other leg to make a replacement arm?
I see Razer's character arc now.
I've been trying to figure out why he keeps using the red ring. Apparently he feels that he has to because it's drawn to him. He probably doesn't realize why, but he feels he's a slave to both the ring and his rage. (And of course, he figures it's the only way he can contribute to the team.)
A red ring is fueled by rage, but it also gives a reason for you to become enraged-- which essentially means the ring also fuels your rage. It's a vicious circle. And naturally the ring is going to be drawn to someone in that state.
If Razer ever figures out what's going on and musters enough self-discipline to overcome his rage, that's when his ring will reject him. At which point he'll have matured enough that it's time for a new ring. Green or blue, I wonder?
I'm surprised the Green Lanterns haven't figured this out, or at least I'm surprised they allow him to keep using his ring because of it. A character who is basically a berserker will become a major liability (see entry for Guy Gardner). But they probably don't understand much about the red rings yet.
Does anyone think Norman's race looked like Apros?

^Razer is using the red ring because it's the only one available. It's not like he can pick up a Green Lantern ring at the corner drugstore when he feels he's ready. The only way a GL ring would become available to him is if a Green Lantern dies. And obviously nobody on the team wants that. So there's nothing for the characters to "figure out." Getting Razer a GL ring is simply not an option as far as they're concerned.
HEY!
Maybe they never invented psychotherapy on Bolovax Vik?
Addiction to the ring is just a secondary measure because of what happened to that girl.
It's the same as when teens start cutting to simulate control.
Personally I'm hoping that Razer does not get a Green ring. I'm thinking that once his trial with the red one is over, he'll probably end up with either a blue (hope) or indigo (compassion) ring. I figure that that is why they had him encounter Saint Walker. He see's the path that Razer is on and tries to get him to see that there is another way
As I said before, I doubt they'd give him a green ring for design reasons alone, because it's more visually interesting to have a team member who contrasts with the green-dominated color scheme of the other characters. And I'm not sure blue or indigo would be sufficiently contrasting.
Give him a Star Sapphire.
Then he'll be all but compelled to mount the ship.

Er-- that sounds rather painful.
So next week Hal is getting a visit from his now psycho girlfriend.
Great, here comes a warning for flaming.
My concern is not how to get him a green ring, it's about allowing him to keep using the red one.
What the GLs need to figure out is the connection between Razer's rage and his ring. (Argh, alliteration.) They probably figure Razer is just a guy with anger issues who happens to use a different-colored ring. Once they realize the deal, the safest thing would be to cut him off from that ring. For their protection and for his.
If they understand the connection now and let him keep using it anyway, they are being incredibly foolish. That's about as dangerous as teaming up with the classic Hulk, and for the same reasons.
Personally, if I were Razer I'd get rid of the ring and take my chances rather than allow it to continue warping my personality.
Plus, the ring chooses the bearer. Maybe he's not worthy.
Guy Gardner is a Green Lantern from the comics who's known for his hyperaggressive '90s-antihero characterization. Guy Gardener, with an extra E, is a poster on this BBS who presumably named himself in honor of the GL bad boy. And I expect he was being facetious when he reacted that way to the derogatory mention of the comics' Guy. (I'd call him the comic-book Guy, but that would add yet another level of confusion. It would be the worst... exposition... ever.)
And you must know I was being just as facetious. If a mod was to take the whole thing seriously, well, that's their business.
So really, what's your opinion of my other point? Are the GLs being totally reckless by knowingly allowing their teammate to use a ring powered by rage, or do they just not realize?
Just a point of fact, the Guy Gardner most people know is a child of the 80s (he was a key player in the post Legends JLI). The character was created in the 60s. I'd hesitate to call him a 90s anti-hero since he spent most of that decade without a GL ring.
yup... the cocky son of a bitch first appeared way back in 1968...
He's not an antihero of sorts... at least if he was, he was one of the earliest to appear... more of just a cocky extrovert character who prides himself on machismo and alpha male dominance...

He was only an antihero and asshole during the late 80s, 90s and early 00s.
