Lots of interesting things!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Metamorpho was a member of the Justice League, possibly the space team, that also resigned alongside the others. Would make sense, we know that Kaldur is 27 and Steel is 36, leaving 8 other members' designations we currently don't know. My bet for those 8: 1-Batwoman, 2-Fire, 3-Ice, 4-Hardware, 5-Adam Strange, 6-Metamorpho, 7-Katana, 8-Adam Strange (not in that order necessarily). Hopefully we can get confirmation on that as the season goes on. I will also say that I was totally expecting that Reach meta-human failsafe pod that was secured from Stagg to lead to the creation of Metamorpho... given their connection in the comics and assumed it would play the role it did in creating Cyborg. The fact that Metamorpho is a core Outsider in the comics and they circumvented his origin is also what leads me to believe he was a member of the League.

It was cool seeing a little of Vic's backstory and his life beforehand; also Cisco Ramon is one of his classmates! It'll be interesting to see if they do anything with him. All and all, I'm content with Vic's origin. I think it was very by the numbers, but I expected that and I'm glad they're seemingly not going to focus on the Fatherbox taking control of him anymore. I'd much rather explore him accepting who he is and learning to use his new abilities.

I think it was nice learning a little bit more about what happened with Garfield. So Steve Dayton won custody of him and that's why he isn't an active member of the team, but an actor instead just like his mom. Also nice learning that the Doom Patrol exists or existed in this universe, it sounds like they all died on a mission just like in most iterations. I guess I'm just curious as to when. But it seems like now Gar will be coming back to the team now which is great. Side note: that whole homage to Teen Titans Go! was hilarious, especially with the voice actors contributing their talents to the Doom Patrol.

For what I'm just going to call the mid-season finale, I think they did a great job. They resolved some character arcs and set up some exciting plot points for the second half of the season. It was nice to learn about Halo and put an end to her story arc about who she is. It was also nice seeing Brion grow and mellow out as he gets a better handle on his powers and Forager... well he's Forager and it's great Haha Also they introduced another Bat-Family member: Harper Row!

Overall, I really enjoyed the first half of Young Justice: Outsiders. I think nearly all of the episodes have been really captivating and for the most part they all contribute to the story in one way or another. My only critique though, is that I hope we get to see more of the Team in the second half (and I fully expect that we will and that that was part of their plan). I want to learn more about Thirteen and catch up with Kid Flash and Blue Beetle. I also want to learn more about Arrowette, Spoiler, and Orphan who I don't think was on the Team otherwise she would've been there when Tim and the others resigned. So there's still a lot of new characters we have to learn about.

PLUS! JUDAS CONTRACT... that's going to be tough for Geo-Force. It'll be interesting to see if they actually complete that story this season or drag it on into a potential season 4. I hope that they drag it out and have her as Deathstroke's mole for the long run. I think from Deathstroke's perspective that would make more sense, otherwise why have a mole for such a short amount of time... seems like a lot of work for little return.

To finish up here, anyone think that we'll see Starfire or Raven? I've had a theory that we could still get the classic Titans in this universe as a separate entity from the Team. One option is that they're made into a celebrity like team of heroes kind of like Marvel's New Warriors or option two would be the Team gets so big that it's divided into squads or divisions (different from their squads that they have now) where one is the west coast and another is the east coast.

Lastly, I have a strange feeling that we're going to get something like Titans Tower at the end of this season, or maybe I'm reading too much into things and we're just going to get the Outsider's Bunker Haha But with Conner talking about a secret base, Mt. Justice being destroyed, and the League being a little shaken up... I could easily see a "T" shaped tower getting built where Mt. Justice used to be... "T" for Team!
