I've just caught up on the last five episodes and have to say, this season is so much better than the last one. So nice to see Gar having more to do and Josh Orpin is doing a really good job.

So, when the snake came out of Connor and Tim killed it, was I the only one who thought for a second that it was actually Gar and that the blood curse (or whatever it is) had caused him to transform?

Whatever's going on with Rachel's hair, it looks like she bought it in a plastic bag at Party City.   Awful and distracting.

I wouldn't mind seeing Conner get killed.   He's becoming annoying.   Way too vanilla, petulant, and the black t-shirt just underscores the blah-ness of his very existence.  Lose Conner, bring back Krypto.

Don't like Tim Drake at all, the romance angle feels like it's there to check a box. 

Jinx is okay, if only because she breaks up the monotony.   Dick seems sidelined for the moment, unfortunately.

The setting of Star Labs is feeling claustrophobic, too, like production didn't want to spend much money on sets.  Ditto for good writers.

The show simply doesn't live up to the visceral beat of the opening theme.
