I just wasn't feeling this episode. 5 YEAR SKIP? COME ON really? Just when all the secrets were cleared, the character's were getting more developed. What was the point in adding Rocket if they knew they were going to do this? Where's Artemis (One of my favs), KF, Aqualad? Seriously, this time skip ain't cute. Its not cute at all. We all grew to love Robin, Artemis, MM, SB, Kid Flash, Zatanna, and even Aqualad, to death. Now we are supposed to get used to these newbies? Its like takling us back to the beginning, erasing everything that happened in Season 1.

Things I did like:

- Mostly the action.

- How LB, Robin (Tim), and Blue Beetle's mission resembled Rob, Aqua, and KF's first mission in Independence Day/Fireworks.

- Wonder and Bat girl team up.

Overall, I had no idea about any time skip, so imagine my (and my sister's) confusion after about 5 minutes in.
