I guess. Strikes me as very exaggerated. She looks like one of those starving kids you see on TV when they try to guilt trip you into feeding them (stupid kids, wanting to, y'know, not starve...)

Saw last episode today as i know nothing of DC or any of its hero back stories. (is speedy, Red-arrow actually a clone int the comic book?) I found it Ok its not the best show i have seen on TV in the last year ( and I don't have a TV XD) As a hole I EP 1-end I liked it not all the episodes where good but as a full session the manged to pull there stories all together. Al tho i think Manny things could have been done better or differently that is what RPing is for XD. i look foreword to the second session and hope it does not have any of the problems the first session did and maby we will get a better story as a hole. As far if robin is dick i would say he is dick but acts like Tim so any kid can pic up the newest Batman and see robin acting the same way as on TV(maby not 100% the same but still close to what they see on TV) I have little to no knowledge of the DC world I dont even play there MMO. but i found threw watching the show I could "catch up" on a bit of DC stuff and get into its comics i did not but a few of my friends Did go back to Dc because of this show. I think superman Could have been done better as a shining example of the "best" of human kind Deadbeat Dad is not the role i would Pic for him In the apocalypse move He wanted to help/ protect super-girl no matter what, in YJ he kicks super boy to the curb and fly's off. Batman was well done Wonder woman did not exist in the show at all really( and as she is the 3rd most known hero in dc i would say that is odd) the Team Did well they are just a bunch of well trained teens trying to move form "Sidekicks" to full hero, and by the end of the session i got the feeling they could more then hold there own ageist what ever may come at them. Even they way they got missions changed Sure Batman always gave them missions from start till end but more at the end they where finding and doing there own missions most of the time. i could certainly use more caterer development, and the "new" Girls added did seem forced in there just for the big new-years seen, But as a hole i liked the show and will pic up the full season when it comes out on DVD.

The episode was good (WK language: a horrible piece of crap), but it didnt feel like finale at all. I know there's a second season just next week, but still.

It... was not good. It was silly and "Roy is a clone!" stinks of deus ex machina.

My biggest disappointments were:
1) The villains spent the whole season carefully placing sleeper agents and regular agents in various positions so that they could steal the necessary components and get access to the necessary people to create those little mind control things, and the heroes create an antidote to it off panel.
2) It was insanely easy for the team to take down the whole Justice League, even using the excuse that they aren't fighting at their best because they're being controlled; it just shouldn't be that easy to gain access to the back of their necks. Logic aside, it's just anticlimactic to have the team pretty casually storm the Watchtower.
3) The stupid New Year's kiss. It just suddenly happened to be New Years, and in case you hadn't noticed how the team has gone from a group of heroes to 4 super hero couples, they spell it right out for you. And it's okay, they're all straight and organized by race/species, because anything less would be gross right? -__-'
However, I do completely buy their explanation that Roy was a sleeper agent since the very first episode. "He's a clone" is a bit convenient, and it feels like they've done that to death already, but I'm okay with it given that it sets things up for an interesting second season.

Technically, there is one cross-species couple... Kryptonians and Martians aren't the same thing ;D

What... what am I watching? Suddenly there's Nightwing, another Robin, Blue Beetle, Zatanna looks (mostly) grown, there's some dude I don't recognize at all on the team...
Was there like... one episode that was set in the future or something?

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm expecting the writers to stir things up a lot.

Didn't Season 1 just end? Why were they showing "Season 2, Episode 9" It was a bit of shell shock. Seeing Robin (no idea if it's Damian or what...) and Blue Beetle was cool and all, but I had like no context for it whatsoever. Batman said something like "Vandal Savage took control of the Justice League exactly 5 years ago" so I guess were half a decade on now??? AURGH!

Just saw the episode. Dafuq. SPOILERSThe creators have been talking very recently about how Season 2 picks up literally "a minute" (their exact words) after the Season 1 finale. I guess an awful lot happened in that one minute.. like five years. Here's an article about it from yesterday that says as much. I have no idea. There are only going to be 20 episodes this season and from the very short synopses released ahead of time, the show is remaining in this 5 year timeskip for at least the first 5 episodes; most likely the entire season. I knew they were going to shake things up, and I'd heard that they finally had license to use pretty much the whole DC cast so I was expecting a lot of new characters, but I was really looking forward to seeing how the team responded to the finale. I don't give a crap about some stupid invasion or any of these new characters (yet). They would have more of my trust that this will turn out to be interesting if they hadn't botched the latter third of the first season so badly. Not sure if I'm going to tune in past the second episode if it doesn't get miraculously better. ~TWF

I don't know, I'm interested in some of the new cast (the new Robin is Tim, apparently...), but it seems very abrupt, and I don't understand why Beast Boy is younger than Dick Grayson, etc.
It doesn't make sense and it hurts.
Also, who is the fish guy, and where was Aqualad???
