You mean Barry & Them?
cmon man you had to see that coming, each one of them had been alluded to beforehand; I didn't love it but it wasn't make or break for me
as far as the living Black Lanterns, that was one of the main plot points of BN; Nekron legitimized all of their deaths and the fact that they came back in the first place was to have a place in his endgame
you take the most powerful people in the universe off the good squad and make them pawns in your war against life, it sends quite the message and-you guessed it-triggers all sorts of emotions in people (more than likely fear)
that part actually gave their resurrections and deaths another more congruent meaning

people have said that he turned Hal in a one-note asshole, but they weren't paying attention
Hal now has tons of nuance and different parts of his personality were exposed BUT he was still a maverick
