yeah. . it was supposed to be T.O. Morrow. . . hence his hunting for Red Tornado.

would have been nice if the credits hadn't been shrunk down so much that we could confirm that.

but my first thought was Morrow.

Credits weren't shrunk down for me. It was definitely Morrow.

It was the mustahce that sold me that it was Morrow. That and the fact that Mister Twister was a more or less Reddy on Roids.

I must say, it was a little TOO heavy on character-building. They spent so much time around trying to explore the character of Miss Martian that the plot ended suffering. Compared to the pilot, I'd dare say that it was a bit boring.

Hopefully with that out of the way, the next episode will be a little more.....heroic.

This amuses me. Writers can never get it right, someone is always left behind. I see this as serving those that complained only the boys were in the pilot and the teaser for this episode also only had the boys. So then Miss Martian basically had a whole episode to herself.

I loved it! I adore Miss Martian. She's super cute. And I want to give Superboy a hug. They should be a couple.

And here ends my excessively girly review of last night's episode of Young Justice. The comic was really good too.

EDIT: I am really proud of myself that I knew right away that it was T. O. Morrow. Normally I don't know who anybody is.

Ya talking about issue #0 Scout? I liked it.

The pilot definitely kicked this episode's ass, but for me, the thing about good(great?)cartoons is that even an ordinary episode is reason to smile.

Anyone know when/if this is coming to Canada? Obviously online viewing is more practical...but I kinda wanna watch cartoons on TV again.

Also, any good? I've heard positive reviews on the Tie-In comic, but is the real deal worth watching at all?

I'm starting to think this show just isn't for me. The treatment of Miss Martian in this episode really disturbed me. She spent the entire episode being slobbered over and having commands barked at her condescendingly. It wasn't until the very very end that this seemed to stop, so maybe this was the one episode to get it all out of the way so it never happens again?

I know they said she was "inexperienced", but I doubt they would use that tone with a male teammate. Superboy is just as inexperienced but he never got spoken to that way, and he doesn't get oggled all the time either.

The dialogue isn't sitting well with me either. The writers seem really keen on this "clever wordplay" thing: "whemled" from the pilot and "turbed" in this one. Is there going to be something like this in every episode? The "Hello Megan!" with the slap to the forehead got annoying too. Is this something from the comics to show she is trying to hard to talk like an earthling, or do the writers just have no idea how women talk?

Yeah, but Superboy had already proven himself back in the pilot.

And you didn't get the part at the beginning where she mentioned trying to bake cookies that she'd seen on television? She acts that way because she only knows human interaction from the TV shows she watches.
