Cari, I get where you're coming from, honestly, I do. In the beginning of this whole time skip, I was freaking out, too. My main reason for doing so, however, was because of Dick suddenly becoming Nightwing. I felt like it was too soon, and a part of me still feels that way. These days, Dick barely gets a chance to florish as Robin. His longest run as the Boy Wonder is in B:tAS (3 seasons whenever he appeared in the episodes) and The Batman (2 seasons, appearing in every episode except 2 - one he wasn't in, one he was Nightwing). And then, of course, as soon as Dick becomes Nightwing, he usually ends up getting the shaft over Tim Drake. The other characters on the show? Yeah, I was curious and concerned about them, but they weren't really my main concern.

When I watched "Earthlings," I found myself liking the way Superboy explained the way his and M'gann's relationship ended and his inability to age. I also liked the bonding scene between M'gann and Gar over his the loss of his mom. In "Alienated," I found myself intrigued by the reveal of Kaldur's betrayal. The script was just so well done. And then came "Salvage." Yes, pretty much knew Jim was gonna end up being a clone. Frankly, the Cadmus clone thing is starting to get a little old. The big shock, however, was Lian. Totally did not see that coming! Completely blew my mind - and in a very good way. And I know that had we seen Roy and Jade getting together, it wouldn't have been like that because I would've seen the pregnancy coming.

So, yeah, to make a long story short, I'm officially onboard for the rest of the season. And it's okay if you don't agree with me on any of this. It's your opinion, and you're free to have it. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just saying this is how I feel, and I know a few people who agree with me.
