One of the few decent shows left on Cartoon Network. Let me just say, I can't wait for Saturday, when it finally returns after hiatus. I highly recommend it; they have it on iTunes if you're willing to by it. ;) What do you guys think?

Found it! And YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!! YJ is WIN!

It has great story, characters, animation, and IS HILARIOUS! To quote self:

"I love, "Stop touching yourself!" xDD
I almost died. Astrid and Wally are SOOOO funneh."

Robin's great too. I love his attitude in an emergency, and his ponderies
about certain things makes me think of that philoseraptor meme...

All the chars are great really though. Can't pick a favorite. I really like Kaldur,
but I think Connor might be my fav. I really like his relationship with Megan. 8U
Even drew fan art of them... >.>

Have you seen my math binder lately? I mean, I've been getting pretty good at people, thanks to Young Justice. ;) My homework is covered in doodles...

Now I must share some quotes here;

"So you want me to believe that after everything you've been through, including your own death from fiery explosion, you're peachy."
"I'm uh, fairly certain I never used the word peachy, but you get the jist."
"So you don't want to confront your extreme reaction to Artemis's death?"
-chokes on popcorn-
"I'd rather talk about you, babe."
"Wally. You're in denial."
"I'm comfortable with that."


"I won't. But you should."
"Can you imagine what Wally would say?"
"So...the person you're most worried about is...Wally."


"Stop touching yourself!"


"So, I'm you're ninja boyfriend now, huh?"
"Hey, amnesia, remember? I forgot how truly annoying you are."
"Oh, and you're the goddess of congeniality."
-Robin enters- "Yeesh, get a room!"


"So get traught, or get dead!"


"You're overwhelmed, Freeze was underwhelmed...why isn't anyone just whelmed?"


"If dislike is the opposite of like, is disaster the opposite of aster?"


"I'll need a partner."
-Wally raises hand- "Oh! Me! Hey, after this, maybe I can show you some of my moves."
-he ends up on his back in about two seconds-
"It hurts so good..."
"Good block. But did anyone see what he did wrong?"
"Ooh, he hit on teacher and got served?"


"Is it wrong that I think I'm hot?"


"Seen Kid Flash on the news. He doesn't wear black."
"Little unsure on that myself. What about you? Green Arrow fixation?"
"WHO PUT ME IN THIS?!"
"Wow, I am not touching that with a ten foot...uh, so can you use that bow?"
"Yeah, my dad taught me. Dad! He must've done this. Another one of his stupid tests!"
"What kind of test?"
"He probably wants me to kill you."


...I'll probably think of some more later. XD

-Spoilers, don't like, but you read it? Suck it up : P-
Season 1 was good, season 2 wasn't that great. To be honest, I lost interest and moved on. The end of season 1 and the beginning of season 2 seem to have poor writing and plot devices that equal the writing of the new 52 reboot. (AKA: It sucks.)

For the entire first season they build up the characters and then I assume they got a new idea for season 2, so they seemed to rush everybody's development at the last episode, and then skip 5 years. It's nice to see Batgirl and Nightwing, and even Tim Drake, however the manor in which they did it was poorly constructed. (As one of my friend's told me, "I would have liked to have seen season 2 before season 5!")

So much has happens during the 5 year skip that seems to affect everyone so greatly, they only mention it.
EG, Kaldur's friend dying. He runs off (not really lol) and joins his father, whom he found out about?
Superboy and Megan break up, and then the Martian dates some sort of fish.
Wondergirl and bat-girl join the team, along with Tim Drake.

The audience would not have held a attachment (unless you're DC savvy) to these characters, or particularly liked the changes. I'm not saying they're bad, I'm just saying they didn't do it in the proper manor. I wouldn't have mind Kaldur defecting towards Black Manta's side, if they had shown it, just saying it happened isn't really that interesting.

But it's not all bad, at least for season 1, it was a clever show, it had great designs and interesting characters, and for a time it did have good plots. This is why I'm going to rate it per season, because it really was a great start.

Season 1 : 7/10 : The reason it doesn't earn 3 full stars is because it did tend to drag out the plots some, and some of the characters were useless and could have been replaced with something better: (For example, Kypto instead of Wolf, Wolf was interesting but I'd rather see Kypto form a bond with his master's clone), the other reason is at the end of the season everything's rushed and it just seems to be less dramatic than it really was.

Season 2: 4/10 : Eh, kinda already explained it. Interesting characters but the writing techniques isn't that great.

While I do miss the cast of Season 1, Season 2 does start to grow on you. As Dick said in Performance, "Have an open mind." I actually loved the ending of Season 1, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion. -shrugs-

I do agree that they rushed the development and the time skip was irritating, but I trust Greg to tie it all together somehow. In my mind, he hasn't failed yet. One of my friend's theories is that Season 2 is just showing what happened during those 16 hours, but it ends up being a faulty time line or something.

The fact that they only mentioned things irritates me too, but I can see why. They can't explore every little detail of what happened during those five years; they do have to focus on what's happening now too. At least they did mention it.

Basically, despite the flaws and annoyances, I still enjoy the show, and there are some excellent plots going on.

Myeh, I already gave up on the show and moved on. I did have an open mind and it still sucked. xD
