Too many changes, too fast pretty much sums it up. There are so many things that bugged me the whole episode.

First, is probably the whole Robin/Nightwing thing. If this is only 5 years later, then Dick is 18, in the comics, he quit being Robin at 17. How did Batman go through Dick, Jason, Jason dying, and then Tim, in one year? Not to mention he still sounds 13. If I hadn't known from the comics that Nightwing was Dick Grayson, it would never have even occured to me it was him. He didn't mess around the english language even once.......:C

Second, supermartian is GONE. What the heck happened there? All the sudden she's all hung up on Lagoon Boy. Also with supermartian, how is Dick 18 yet they still look 16?

Lastly, and this is probably my (and everyone else's) biggest problem, WHERE ARE THE OTHER TEAM MEMBERS??????? Aqualad, Artemis, KF, and Roy were never evened mentioned. For heaven's sake, Zatanna and Rocket were only there for a few minutes! If they don't tell me soon, I'm going to die. There are so many unanswered questions from the last season.

Quite frankly, I'm devestated. The team is completely different and I don't know how it got there. I was waiting to see so many significant moments. Dick revealing his identity, Kaldur figuring out who his real dad is, Red Arrow finding the REAL Roy Harper. And yet, they just fast forward through all of that. I don't want to stop watching the show but, watching this was truthfully kind of painful. I could see the writers doing this in season 3 after we had a bit more time with the team, but not right after things started to get interesteing. If I had to sum up this episode in one word it would most likly be, "WTF"
