Eh, you're getting a better review here, anyway, I think.

Man, the last time I commented on a review for this show I whined about how unimpressive it was since coming back from hiatus, but these past four episodes, now that they're actually moving the story forward, have been great. I love too how some of the stuff that seemed unimportant or like filler actually matter.
I have mixed feelings about how this show uses/used the League. On one hand, I also wish we saw more of them in the way you're describing because the sidekick aspect, and how the main heroes' influence affects the kids' maturation, was really interesting. But then, on the other hand, I also liked how the show would…
Thank you for posting this. When other people talk about how much they love this show, I'm not sure whether they mean they like it ironically or not. And some of the experiences I've had trying to watch it with other people in my family have been awkward, because I feel like I like the show in the same way you do,…
Here's the thing about Zosia: I know she gets a lot of love around here, I've seen and liked her work on Parenthood and The Kids Are All Right, and I generally like Shoshanna. And I don't know if it's the acting or how the character is written—probably both—but I feel like the perkiness is taken too far sometimes.
I thought this was an amazing, funny, exhilarating episode. I knew that with the shorter season we'd probably getting faster-paced stories, but I'm completely floored at how packed and yet focused this episode was. I think I've also been convinced to embrace the whistle-blower aspect of the show, finally. My favorite…
See, I never understood why some people would say that Jemima Kirke can't act.
I get what you're saying about YJ. Sometimes I think I'm more invested in what the show could be—or occasionally is—than I am in what it usually is. And which characters we see and don't see, and how often, has a lot do with that.
You guys are right. The real-world tsunami took place in December, and this episode in May of some other year, presumably.
Liked for the KOTOR reference.
The cancellation just kills me. I still really wish we'd get the extra episodes the writers need to re-visit the older characters, and the characters they introduced after the time jump, and the ones from this episode.
But…. didn't they know?
Goddammit. I never watched Green Lantern, but Young Justice was the most fun I'd had with a cartoon in years. Very sad to see it go.
Okay, I'll grant that how Artemis got there and how she misses Wally were what the monologue was about, but so what? I'm still unconvinced that it added anything or was handled well. We pretty much knew everything you mentioned, and as the commenter below pointed out, it would've been much more interesting to focus on…
I'm not saying this is why the scenes were separated, but I've seen other comments—not here, but on Facebook and IMDB, for example—in which straight men have reacted extremely negatively to the (male) homoeroticism in this show. *shrugs* Just something to make note of.
I'm hoping that because the writers seem to be approaching Crassus differently from some of the antagonists in the past, they'll do the same for his wife (whose name I can't remember). I, like some of the other commenters here, will miss the campy, soapy back-stabbing element of the show, but between Lucretia,…
"He looks like he hasn't worked out in years."
I'm with you all the way on this. I remember re-watching the speech Andy gave at the end of season one after [SPOILERS, I GUESS] he kills Batiatus and did a brief mental comparison with some of Liam's work. And though I've never disliked Sparty 2.0, the former was just so much more fucking real. His performance really…
Kind of surprised at the letter grade this episode received. I find most of the episodes to be oddly-paced/structured or with too-long action sequences (that don't advance the plot), so I feel like the extra time this one took to deal with some of the fallout of earlier events and to set up new plot points was…
It was Impulse! I knew I recognized the voice as one of the team, but I didn't who.
