Yay, welcome to the show! ^^ And yeah, Robin's a really fun character in this show. I still can't wrap my brain around Jesse McCartney as Zuko, but I love how he voices Robin. It's a nice difference from Scott Menville's style and really suits the character. Oh wow, one of the kids swapped out by a clone? That would be freaky and awesome. Artemis' dad definitely seems like it'll be brought up again, but I didn't realize we met Aqualad's dad already. Is he Aquaman? No, wait, you said dark side, and both. Hmm, I'm gonna have to watch the episodes again. I hope Megan's true identity does play out in the show 'cause I think it's interesting, but her persona seems so innocent and open, I can't really see her as being traitorous. Even in Bereft when they lost their memories and she was by herself, she was still very... Megan. I don't feel like she's putting on an act with them. Although if her mole-relationship is in similar reasons to her hiding her real martian identity, that would slip below my radar so I could understand that. And OMG at the vol 2 dvd! I can't believe the artist forgot to put MM in there, and that nobody noticed before it went to print! Who's in charge of these things, honestly... TVShowsonDVD says that it will have four episodes, stopping before Bereft. It could be a clue, but I'm leaning more towards incompetence. Vol 3 better include her though, especially with her and SB's developing shipbait.

You want to know something? I can't read the stuff under spoilers on my iPad. I had to quote you to see what you were saying...gosh darn inconvenient, what!
We should have a new episode early tomorrow (my time), right? Another Megan/Superboy centric one I believe (wasn't the last one about those two?) I'm looking forward to the next one far more...Robin and Artemis, kicking butt and taking names (I hope).
*EDIT* Hmm...can't say I enjoyed Terrors all that much...

Ah, that's a bummer! I wish there wasn't such a disparity between what works with a regular browser and not with the mobile ones. As a webdesigner I thought the Firefox/IE differences were annoying, but the mobile browsers just amps the paranoia and frustrations, lol. I'd like to hope that maybe the coding/viewing will become more uniform in the next few years, but they still haven't been able to do that with regular browsers... Anyway! Yeah, lots of Megan/SB airtime lately. Although last-last week's ep featured a good dose of Roy, Cheshire, Aqualad, and some other villains too. I completely forgot about last week's ep though; I'll have to check the CN site later for it. But tonight's episode featuring Robin and Artemis should be nice. And I will totally set my alarm so I don't miss it. I hope Wally will make an appearance though, I feel like he hasn't been seen in a while. edit: Saw Terrors. Okay wow, really wasn't expecting them to kiss this early. Does this mean they'll be a series ship now, or that it'll go downhill from here? My tv-senses tell me that anything starting this early is doomed to fail, but the show goes for surprising, so, I guess it'll be interesting to see what the writers are planning. Still a cute couple though. Icicle Jr. was kind of adorable as well in the later half of the ep; I wonder if he'll eventually try being a hero.

*is waiting for Home Front to appear* In regards to your comment about Icicle Jr... In the DC Universe he hooks up with Artemis...they have a baby girl...Isabella Rose...but both are villains there. With her allegiances switched (the comics seem to definitely prove this), I suppose it's a possibility his will too...and we'll have a perfect set-up for a romantic triangle between the pair and Wally...probably a necessity now that we've lost the romantic tension between Meg and Conner... Seen Home Front now...Love twig's "We'll laugh about this someday"...and is that Batgirl I see? Not as good as I'd hoped...I'd have liked to see some real teamwork between them, but they pretty much just spent the episode running... And, after the events of this episode, the Team's getting a new babysitter...Captain Marvel...voiced by...Rob Lowe? Now that could be interesting... The wiki has a basic rundown of the next few episodes if anyone's interested...looks like we might be getting a new member in Zatanna. Be nice to balance out the testosterone a bit, but if she's dressed like her DC universe counterpart she'll probably just spike it.

re: Icicle Jr. and Homefront: Haha really? Aww. I can't quite see them as a couple, but Isabella Rose is a very sweet name. So Arti is a villain in the regular comics? That's interesting. Well, I hope he'll switch sides too, and definitely seconding the new triangle. ^^
For Homefront, yeah, I think that was Batgirl! Which is very cool and I hope she'll be in some future episodes. For some reason I was thinking that there couldn't be a Batgirl if there was already a Robin employed... but I guess that's just dumb and I should read more about this stuff. xD;;
But anyway, I really liked this episode; glad to see the whole group again and a return to the action. I like running/chase scenes though hehe, and the flashbacks/character development for Artemis was nice. I didn't notice it at the time, but now that you mention it, there was a definite lack of teamwork, aside from Wally & SB's robot taunting near the end. Hopefully it'll get back on track in the upcoming episodes.
Red Tornado as the mole though.... that was..... disappointingly easy, but it means the kids get to stay as a group, so that's good at least. And Rob Lowe? Ahaha, can't wait to see that.
And wow, spoilers on the October eps are out already? Aah, um, I think I'll wait on reading those. I want to be surprised I think. But so Zatanna will be showing up soon? That'll be cool. I only know of her Smallville incarnation, so it'll be interesting to see how she is on YJ.

@jade (re:Bro Code), Yeah Wally wouldn't need it but I can picture him doing the Scuba Diver/the SNASA/the Ted Mosby just for the fun of it. @empy, Ooooo, I love the designs and I'm so excited that Zatanna will appear on the show! She was one of my favourites on Justice League. I hope she will join the team permanently, though. re: Robin's VA, I agree that Jesse does an amazing job as Robin! I was wary at his name on the credits at first but now I think he should do more voice acting. re: Terrors and Homefront, Oh, I liked this episode! It did surprise me that Supes and M'gann kissed so early on, but it was sweet. And the "Dude, that's your sister!" was hilarious. And I agree that Icicle Jr was adorkable. :3 I also have to say that I love the continuity on this show. Terrors explained the multiple ice attack in the first episode.
Yep, that was Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. I loved her design, she looked very pretty. I thought Homefront, despite all the running, was great! I absolutely loved the Arti/twig interaction, especially the phone booth scene. It actually made me ship them. :3 But then again I just OT3 Wally/Arti/twig. Seeing more of Arti's past was awesome, too. And yeah, Red Tornado being the mole was the easy way out. (We even called it, Jade, lol.)

About Red Tornado... WAS he the mole, though? Looks to me like he may have been reprogrammed in some way when he touched Red Inferno's hand. It could be another...no pun intended...red herring.
I remember reading somewhere that Robin would not be getting a romantic interest in the show...not sure where...but it makes sense, he IS only 13. Besides, Robin's kind of iconic, hard to mess with the 'legend', and his first love was Barbara Gordon, and even though she has appeared, she has never been part of any teen hero team so I doubt she'll be joining. There would be little point as her abilities aren't significantly different to Robin's. There MIGHT be something with Donna Troy when she arrives...it was planned for the comics but vetoed by TPTB.

re: Robin, Yeah I read that too somewhere. I believe Jesse said it in an interview. But even so, just because it won't become canon, it won't stop me from shipping it. re: Red Tornado and the new episode Alpha Male: It seems likely that Red was the mole but like you pointed out, it's not sure. I guess future episodes will tell.
I loved Alpha Male! I liked how Kaldur stepped up and finally understood what it means to be a leader and act the part. He did great. I also love how M'gann and Superboy's relationship is developing. And I'm glad we saw more of Robin and Artemis teamwork in here. But the cutest part was Captain Marvel at the end. I liked him on Justice League so it was great to see him on this show as well, being his optimistic, insightful and adorkable self again. He was definitely a great addition to the team and exactly what they needed after their trust faded.
Edit: I forgot to say that the "Get your stinky paws off her, you darn dirty ape!" made me lol.

I don't have cable, so I can't watch it. It sounds interesting though, hopefully they don't create another movie based on these superheroes though.

It's not even on in my country, Taryn, but I can still manage to watch it I actually have to admit, I'm starting to get bored with it...perhaps because they keep focusing on the characters that don't really appeal to me... it was the same with Gargoyles...the Avalon World Tour bored me to tears because it focused on my least favourite characters in the series...I can remember when I was watching those episodes for the first time and just grumbling 'Go home already!' at the TV... But anywhoo... Alpha Male was okay...Capitan Marvel was a hoot...fit in so well with The Team...probably because he's actually really much closer to their ages than he is to the Justice League...he was so adokable!
If there's going to be a rotating roster of 'den mothers' I wonder who else we're going to see? I'm guessing lesser characters rather than any of the mentors...

@kohana, re: bro code, Ahaha, that would be hilarious. Or the Have You Met Ted when he's playing wingman. Way too cute. xD Taryn, if you're in the USA, you can try to watch it on the Cartoon Network website, otherwise there's iTunes, Youtube, etc... The episodes are coming out on dvd soon as well, so you might be able to rent them from the library/Netflix/etc. too. Red Tornado as the Red Herring, lol I love it! That spark with his finger is a little suspect, and him being the mole as face-value is just too too easy. In Alpha Male it seemed like Kaldur wasn't entirely convinced of it either. So if there is another/the real mole and is still in the group, there will still be some underlying tension and hopefully something more interesting will come from it later on. LOL, I didn't think I liked drama much until I started watching this show. xD
@kohana, re: Terrors/Icicle Jr, that line cracked me up! The way he said it too, so perfect. xD He needs to be in more eps, seriously. That's a good point about the first ep attacks too, I had totally forgotten about that. That's really cool that it wasn't just some random villains-of-the-day thing. Makes me wonder what other previous episode events are going to be brought back up later on. I really gotta re-watch these eps sometime.
Re: Robin, Fandom fulfills what canon declines. ^^ But I would be surprised if they wouldn't even give him a crush or Wally-jealousy or something, though. 13's young, but it's not like they're devoid of feelings at that age.
re: Alpha Male, glad to see the team work their issues out regarding the mole secret. I didn't know what to expect from Captain Marvel, but it definitely wasn't that. xDD No idea what's going on there, but I hope he comes back. But if they're using the YJ team to spotlight the lesser-used heroes, that's pretty cool too. I hope there will be some women heroes, but not like the recent comic rebooted ones.

About the 'den mothers'... how many female heroes does DC have that would actually be able to handle these kids? Wonder Woman's too high profile...Hawkgirl/woman...I can't see her going in for 'baby sitting'...and...they're the only ladies who've appeared so far outside Black Carney, and she's already attached to The Team.
Most of DC's female heroes seem to be quite young...better candidates for team members...and the better know ones are pretty much female versions of already existing members.

re: the den mothers, those are really good points. I'm not too familiar with the DC universe so I was looking through the superheroines list on Wiki, and it was difficult to find any that wouldn't be the things you mentioned or could fit into the situation at all without breaking their backstory/continuity. I guess they can't just... make up new ones, huh. Although maybe they can re-purpose some of the old unused ones, like how they've modified some of the other characters backstories? I guess we'll see though. Thoughts on Revelation: This was a really interesting ep; I loved the new info for the bioship, the group's teamwork, Arti was awesome in this, and my Wally/Arti shipper heart was happy. However, I am seriously WTF'ing at the kids' mission. Having them fight just the Joker seems like it would be terribly scary and out of their league, but sending the kids in alone to fight him and five other clearly very dangerous super villains? And for what, to keep up League appearances for the news coverage? Seriously? It's like Batman's asking for them to be killed. They're lucky they got off with just the wounds they got.
As for the Joker, I don't like his voice. Visually he's totally scary, but acting-wise, not so much. But maybe he'll improve in later eps. We also got to see the identities for the real Light group. I see Queen Bee in there, yay! And also that assassin leader guy. It's really nice how the show is using its continuity, not just with the mission plots but with smaller things too like Arti almost drowning three times now. I hope they continue to do that because it makes the show a lot more interesting. And also terribly depressing that it is remarkable only because other shows/etc don't usually use it. -_-

Re: Revelation and Humanity: I swear I'm loving this show more and more. Revelation was great but I didn't like this Joker much. Which saddens me because I've always been a Joker fan. And I agree that the mission was a bit too 'hardcore' for the kids. But otherwise I loved everything. The Spitfire (though I noticed I love Robin/Arti a bit more), the drowning joke, and what really made me lol was Arti's "I feel naked. And not the fun kind." How did that get past the censors?
Humanity was LOVE LOVE LOVE. I loved Zatanna's debut. And I loved Robin's crush on her! I totally wanted him to flirt with her ever since Empy posted she'll be on the show and it happened and my shipper heart is squeeing. I'm totally OT4ing her with Robin/Arti/Wally now, especially because Arti seemed to like her, too. I'm actually glad Red Tornado isn't the mole but now they're back to square one. Lastly this line: "Why should we help save humanity, when we are no longer human?" "The premise of your question if flawed. You were never human. But you were heroes." So much love.
