User blog comment:Thailog/Ep. 207 "Depths" discussion/@comment-200.82.194.136-20120610153428

This episode brings back the question as to why Wally and Artemis leave the Team in the first place. Come on, I didn’t completely buy the ‘I want a normal life’ thing because Wally was so into being a superhero that he actively looked for a way to become The Flash’s sidekick.

By the Bloodlines episode, I considered it to be that Wally was either losing his powers o felt he was being left behind too much and the introduction of Impulse just added salt to the wound. The fact that the issue also came up on the tie in comic tip me on this. With Depths, however I believe there could be another reason. My guess is that Miss Martian and Superboy where left on the dark because they’re still part of The Team and would be expected to fight Aqualad sooner or later. It doesn’t help that both of them kinda suck at pretending. So, the next question here would be either if Wally and Artemis were told because they had left or they left because they were told and the plan required them to retire.

Anyway, just ranting…

Read ya all later.
