Hal Jordan has usually been portrayed as a character who is great at being a Green Lantern, great at flying jets... and terrible at everything else. I wondered to what degree we were supposed to think that was Parallax's influence. Or, in a meta-standpoint, some kind of "Hard Traveling Heroes" holdover where Hal needs Oliver Queen as a moral guide. (Even though Hal hates having Ollie as a moral guide.)

Now, is Hal trying to be Sinestro's moral guide, or vice versa?

By vice versa, do you mean 'is Sinestro trying to be Hal's moral guide' or 'is Hal looking for a moral guide in Sinestro'.

If the former, I think it's a bit of both. Hal's willing to hang around to try to keep Sinestro in line, and Sinestro's trying to teach Hal to prioritize (the same way he does). If the latter...yeah, that's a no, unless it's a deep, deep subconscious thing that Johns hasn't done much to imply.

I meant Sinestro trying to be Hal's moral guide. Now, it is VERY hard for Hal to take any advice from Sinestro, but Sinestro doesn't have to be wrong about everything regarding being a Green Lantern. If there's more to being a Green Lantern than being a "super-hero" for your sector, let's see what that is.

Also, as much as Korugar hates Sinestro (and all Green Lanterns as a result) we've never really decided Sinestro was completely wrong taking it over. Did he want to feed his own ego or did he really want to protect Korugar from internal and external threats?
