My responce to the revelations here is... more mixed than it ought to be. Diana knowing of Athena's death when a) she really shouldn't have and b) we really should have gotten a reaction to that bit of news has already been covered.
So... Genocide is Diana's reanimated corpse? That was a surprise, in the "that came out of nowhere" way. The source of the corpse aside, the setup screamed "Devastation." The colour schemes are eerily similar, the hair is the same colour (albeit a different shade), the powersets are almost identical (once the tweaking has been factored in) and most importantly-- we know that Deva is linked to the Lasso much like Diana is.
Now, the Deva setup could have been masterful misdirection on Gail's part. Gail's said that we'll see Deva sometime this year, so it's hardly her fault if we went conclusion-jumping. That being said, I would not be at all surprised if there was more to this than we know right now. The reveal just came out of nowhere.
Or should that be "the reveals?" Ares is the grand villain of the piece? Really? He's hasn't twirled this much mustache since WML's run. Next question: why is he back to normal (or close to it) when the other gods were so painfully off?
Also, what "killed" Athena to begin with? Story logic indicates that Ares would have had to have had a hand in that, but we've seen no indication of foul play.
While I'm asking questions: when did Wacky Alky learn about the Bana? I can buy her hating them (she could think that they're not really Amazons, that they're the descendents of those who disloyally chose Antiope over Hippolyta, etc.) but who told her and when? I don't know if I can buy her having other visitors besides Hippolyta. The Circle murdered a fellow Amazon, tried to kill the princess, and raised arms against the queen, and in so doing broke all sorts of oaths. Alkyone made it clear that they were all outcasts to begin with, so they wouldn't have had many friends beyond each other. I don't see any Amazon wanting to have anything to do with them, especially the ringleader.
Oh well. The fight against Achilles was kickass, and the missile moment was amazing. Please scan, somebody.
