WK, why do you still argue with us? We're still gonna watch and enjoy this show whether you like it or not. If you're bored, do something that doesnt spoil our fun. I really don't mind. Sometimes people derive enjoyment from complaining about things they dislike. I did a lot of that here when the Cape was on TV (though I still kind of hate myself for it). Besides, defending a show just helps me find more things I like about it. Come to think of it, we’re arguing with a guy who loved the Cape and hated Justice League New Frontier so I just assume our sensibilities aren’t going to be the same anyway.

A number of us seem to agree not only on the idea that there has been character development in the show, but we even agree on what that development has been. I agree with beacon that it has been subtle in many cases - perhaps so subtle that you just haven't noticed it, WK.
You asked for a single example of character development, and you got several - you even agreed with at least one. I don't know why we're still talking about this. It doesn't kill my buzz, though - I love this sort of discussion. ^__^

And still thinks you guys are both nuts about Robin having character development. How did Justice League New Frontier come up? The Cape I get. I thought it was a mildly entertaining piece of crap (though I wouldn't even consider going to the lengths to defend it that you guys are going to for YJ... The Cape had serious flaws and I'm fine with admitting to them). I don't recall being particularly critical of New Frontier, though. It was wildly left wing in it's sentimentality, and that irritated me, but it had some solid story-telling. I thought it fell apart/got a little bit weird at the end there.

I dont mind people complaining about stuff I like. Its just a little annoying when I cant say a thing without someone barging in and creating a large discussion that wont go anywhere. Leaves a bad aftertaste, it does.

Leaves a bad aftertaste, it does. Hey, dude? Sometimes it's okay to just go "okay, I can't or don't want to explain why I like it, I just do." On the other hand, some people are totally capable of, and interested in, explaining what they like about something. It's called a conversation.

I prefer not explaining my preferences, personally. Strangely, it seems to have the same effect of generating aggravated responses, so usually I keep my opinions to myself and settle for reading other people's flame-outs with childish glee... ;D
I actually thought The Cape looked cool...but then I never watched a single episode. So whatever. I like YJ well enough too.

I thought it was a mildly entertaining piece of crap (though I wouldn't even consider going to the lengths to defend it that you guys are going to for YJ... The Cape had serious flaws and I'm fine with admitting to them). It’s like this; I went back to the Cape thread to see what I said about it since I was the guy poking fun of the show. While doing so I noticed the New Frontier thread and remembered there was one guy telling everyone else that the movie was crap. That one guy was you. I think its fair to say that we have different tastes.

This most recent episode of YJ was interesting, but I was busy writing something at the end there and I didn't really catch something. Were they being praised for how they handled the test, or chastised?

*SPOILERS*
They weren't really being praised or chastised. J'onn was more disturbed than anything, and was perhaps a little disappointed in Megan's lack of discipline/training.
Interesting episode. I found it a little frustrating at first (bunch of instant deaths = dream sequence or time-travel retcon), but it ended on an intriguing note.

I'm going to have to try to watch it again and pay more attention. There was something I missed, apparently. It was somehow bad that they knew all along, or something(?)

Were they being praised for how they handled the test, or chastised? Just saw it. I wasn’t exactly “whelmed”…but then I don’t generally like that kind of story anyway because they tend to be rather throwaway. I did enjoy the Easter Eggs though (Robin’s “Red Robin” bandolier, Steph showing up alongside Alfred and Babs, ect). I think that, with something as ambiguous as that, you have to consider the source. If the line had come from Batman it would probably be considered a criticism. If the line had come from Superman it would probably be considered a compliment…actually it’d probably be a criticism from THIS Superman. If the line had come from Wonder Woman it would probably still be considered ambiguous … and probably intentionally so. However it came from Martian Manhunter so I just figure he’s stating facts; that was what happened and that was why it happened. Also he’s terrified of Miss Martian but he’s not about the let the kids know it. Come to think of it, he probably shouldn’t have said what he said to Batman and Red Tornado with Superboy across the room.
