Young Justice!

I gotta tell you, I love this show, and glad it is back on.
Personally, Superboy and Aqualad are my favorites, how about you?

Yes, and the second season of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes starts on April 1st as well, in a block with USM.

Young Justice was awesome this week. A DC version of Spiderman. An absolutely painful pun from Wally. Just plain all around good.

CN recap

Ben 10 - Seems to be a good place to end this series. Sadly the animation of the next one looks godawful.

Thundercats - Lion-o's mostly dead. Slithe has the Sword and is bringing it to Mumbra. The rest of the cats are left in the desert far from the ThunderTank. While this is going on Lion-o's spirit is going through a series of trials to get a 2nd chance of life. All is required is for him to learn to be a better leader. Part 1 of 2.

Green Lantern - OK episode. No real forward progress on the overall story, unless you count robo-GL.

Young Justice - Wow. Now we all know Artemis's family tree. Boy is Red Arrow hard on her. And Wally, now realizing he is out of the running for Miss M, has his sights focused on Artemis, until the end of the episode.

The antics between hulk and thing in the new avengers earths mightiest heroes had me laughing out loud. The poker game scuffle actually had me on my knees laughing.

Yeah, Hulk and Thing need their own show.

Also.... LASERFIST!

I watched Ultimate Spider-Man and am a bit ambivalent about it. I found the whole gimmick of him talking to the camera a little too Ferris Bueller-ish. (which was fine for that movie, but this isn't that movie) I know they're trying to convey Spidey's cockiness, but I think they could've just done that through ordinary dialogue. It started to grate on my nerves after a while.

On the plus side: Stan Lee as the school janitor. Who doesn't love Stan the Man?

I'll watch a few more episodes to give it a chance before deciding whether to make it regular viewing like Avengers: EMH.

One thing I liked about USM is having JK Simmons as JJ Jameson and the guy that played Agent Coulson in the Iron Man and Thor movies doing his voice here.

So does anyone know who "Not Spider-Man" was in this week's Young Justice episode?

And who else caught the Doctor Who shout out in same?

Given that this weeks Young Justice was written by one of my favourite comic book and novel writers, Peter David, it's no surprise I loved it, but I was thrilled by the number of in-jokes in there as well!

Amazed no one has mentioned the blue police box entrance to the YJ base yet!!

I didn't notice it was a "police box", I thought it was the same old blue telephone booth that had been used in previous episodes.

Edit: Dang it, I should have caught that (just watched the clip from YouTube).

I caught the police box but forgot to mention it. I was too busy geeking out about the other stuff.

Just got caught up on YJ, and I must say, So the big question is which of the 3 YJ'ers that the villains have a line on, will be the one that betrays the team? Also wondering which of the team will make the Ultimate heroic sacrifice on the season finale? With 3 episodes left this season, I'm leaning on Artemis to make the Ultimate Sacrifice, but in my opinion she's way too obvious a choice for it.

I'm guessing Superboy is the mole due to him being brainwashed and crazy. Artemis is too obvious a guess, Miss Martian couldn't pull off that without being far too suspicious, as she can barely keep her true form a secret. Robin wouldn't be it unless he pulled a Jason Todd, Kid Flash is too immature and idealistic, and Aqualad's too straight and narrow for it.
