There are a few more females with more convoluted backstories that they can add into the mix, but that'd be detracting from the YJ storyline as a whole. I think for now, the Team's guy to girl ratio is great, I hope they don't go adding a bunch of members for no reason to ruin that dynamic.

I thought for sure that the catatonic state thing would be permanent. It would've added more to the gravity of her problem. Then again, I figured, if a supervillain conglomerate couldn't figure out how to reverse that kind of thing, who could? :p

Also, I'm also noticing that Dick and Barbara are getting very little screentime of their own, which is ironic because I think they're the characters I would enjoy the most seeing interact. I had to rewind that quip between the two to watch Dick get flustered again haha. The characters I thought were fairly dumbed down and seemed rather flat in the premiere (Blue Beetle, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl) and who I felt were added for no other reason than fan service have definitely proven themselves to me since then, especially Jaime. Very interesting storyline for him, even if it was just because of the little undertones of maturity (dysfunctional families, domestic abuse, etc.) and I enjoyed watching him run around even though he didn't actually kick anyone's ass.

Connor/Cassie is ideal, but I don't want the show to get too focused on relationships. They couldn't pair them up without hinting at something romantic. And personally I like how Conner still isn't completely over Megan.

Dick/Connor would be an unstoppable BAMF team.That would be awesome.

I don't know about Connor/Cassie, that seems like a far reach. Connor is supposed to be something like 21 internally and Cassie seems to be the youngest female of the group. Could be interesting, though.

Dick/Connor already proved themselves a BAMF team in the season finale. They just need to cement the badassery in this season. :p

The whole kidnapping children thing reminds me of what Darkseid had his forces doing leading up to Final Crisis.

Darkside Club: Teen Hero Fights.

Heh, I think she's a cooler character this way. I mean, they hinted at some of the more disturbing aspects of her personality in season one, but I love how she's actually morally questionable now.

@Underachiever007: it wouldve made more sense for her to turn evil than aqualad. look at artemis she has both parents villains (one retired one active) and shes not evil.

I think both Miss Martian and Aqualad benefit from their changes...Aqualad looks pure badass, and Miss Martian lost her annoying HELLO MEGAN! personality... they both seem so much better now

Eh, I don't think it works like that. It's like when folks say "our kids are so spoiled. Look at those starving children in Africa, they don't complain about their trivial problems, and they have it way worse". People are unpredictable.

Aqualad's betrayal was a tad jarring, though. There were no shades of gray or ambiguity to his character. He was the most straight-shooting "nice guy" of the group.

Yeah, I think Aqualad's more interesting this way as well. I do think his betrayal kind of seemed to come out of nowhere, though. Even with all the reasons laid out before me, I'm having a hard time imagining him going bad. I'm contradicting myself. Again.

@Underachiever007: aqualad ok i see your point, but i still think meggan is a psycho and about to burst. even the bad guys are afraid of her. i think she gets a more badass rep than batman and hes the dark knight!

@Underachiever007: it is hard to believe because out of all the members from season one, he was the most grounded...but who knows what his true intentions are...i still believe there is still some good in him but we'll find out soon enough i guess...

@KainScion: when you say it like that, i agree because i dont believe for a second that she is more powerful than Martian Manhunter or whatever...but i still think she's better than she was last season...

@Bestostero: There is some evidence to support that theory. Why hasn't Aqualad exposed Wally's real identity to the Light? Why hasn't he told them about Superboy's civilian name? Surely both those things would be useful to them. They could attempt some form of blackmail with the former, and the latter would lead them to Superman's real identity.

Any one notice at the end of the episode the last hostage in the pod kinda looked like Virgil Hawkins aka (Static)? I'm just saying....

@Underachiever007: agreed, he could do a lot of damage with the information he knows, but he hasn't...

How can they introduce the Black Beetle without first introducing Booster Gold or Ted? Why would they introduce Black Beetle as a main antagonist?

@cattlebattle: as long as Samurai stays a male, i'll be happy. i was hoping the Atom was Ryan Choi as well, but that was already proven to be Ray Palmer.

but anyways, while i like this idea of using the Super Friends characters, i just feel that JLU did it already.. plus I rather have Vixen, Dr. Light, Fire, Ice or whatever any day.lol

That's definately Static and not African American Vulcan. Yeah...don't know how I feel about the Superfriends thing...it was definately my least favorite DC series...I guess if they added Marvin and all them it's inevitable that they're the four token minorities. Loved Nightwing and Batgirls interaction though. "Would you have to justify an all male team?" "...There's no right answer to that is there?" LOL.

Anyone want Darksied to just appear beat Wondergirl to death, bow and then leave.

She's a fangirl, an inept one at that. She's automatically loved by everyone, she's superpowerful and her mistakes aren't mistakes there's little to no consequence to them.

I adjusted the image to take out the red hue over the prisoners.

They all definitely have the colors of the international superfriends- Brown/Red Apache Chief, Gold/Green Samurai, Red/Gold/Green El Dorado, With Blue/Black/Gold to Black Vulcan's Blue/Gold.

Thoughts:

Samurai as a female in interesting. Could she instead be Katana, since she was portrayed as a teen in Brave and the Bold and the upcoming Beware the Batman? or maybe an amalgamation of the two?

Not sure on El Dorado. He seems to me like the worst of the International Super Friends- with the most poorly defined powers and the worst of some already poorly fitting code names. I'm wondering if he could be another latino hero refitted for this role. Geoff Johns has taken an interest in Vibe, but the style on this kid is all wrong if that were the direction they were going. Or they could merely be taking El Dorado and fixing him up to be a more cohesive character.

Black Vulcan was a retooling of Black Lightning to work around legal disputes between DC and his creator (as was Static Shock's Soul Power) Since BL has made two non-speaking cameo appearances as a member of the League this season, it would be a poor fit. However, if the dreads suggest anything it's that they're probably gong with their younger and more popular electricity-wielding African American superhero dressed in blue, black, and gold- Static.

@cattlebattle: I totally agree.

That ... really doesn't make her a bad character. There are far worse on this team.

I really like the idea that these four are the Apache Chief, the Wonder Twins, and Static.

Yeah, she's better now, but gah, Lagoon Boy. He has yet to do or say a single thing that endears him to me.

@Underachiever007: really? i think he's ok...he does remind me of season 1 Miss Martian with his Neptune's Beard comments, but it isn't as bad as Hello Megan! come to think of it, they are perfect together, but look different and have strange catchphrases lol

Well, "Hello Megan" got explained away with a good deal of pathos. I doubt they could do the same with "Merlin's beard". I think my problem is with Lagoon Boy's voice actor. I feel he makes the character come off as obnoxious.

It was the most boring episode and possibly the worst out of the series so far.

It lacked any proper forwarding point in the plot and Blue Beetle's part of the episode was perhaps the saving grace.

i think its the same plotwise as the Earthlings episode

@Bestostero: More or less, but honestly I'm just ranting. I personally HATE the 5 year gap they introduced in between seasons.
