You're very welcome Cari. I too could wait for the end of season to complain, but where would that get me? Nowhere. Wait 20 episodes to complain about certain things I continue to hate when I can just do it now. I don't blame you Cari if were to drop the show. I was utterly crushed by the time skip, no kidding, it was like a giant tear in the fabric of the show, dropping everything that had been established in season 1 even in the last couple of episodes only for them to just disregard by means of a time skip which is one way of getting rid of everything in go. I've mentioned shows like Ben 10 that benefitted from a time skip and that's only because after 4 seasons nothing had really changed, infact it was still pretty much the same as it began, but Young Justice had a lot more going for it storywise and characterwise if season 2 had properly continued from 2011 not just that lame recap.

We complain not because we hate YJ, not at all, in fact the reason why we do complain is because the show that we liked is no longer present. It's Young Justice 2.0. We can't connect with these characters we no nothing about, granted it's only a few eps in, but it's just not enough at the moment and not to our liking. To be brutally honest the YJ I liked is pretty much dead, this isn't the same show I "tuned" into watch every week growing an appreciation for the Team and the supporting characters. Now we have to get used to these new players in a fairly short amount of time in 20 eps, 6 shorter then last, it took the last 6 for some of the original Team to get their spotlight. It just doesn't cut.

I guess you and I will just have to wait and see. It looks like we may already get a couple of spotlights ahead, but why skip 5 years to show them? Hmmm? I guess we'll have to stay tuned.
