By the way, while I'm voicing about the mole and my Aqualad theory (realizing lots of people have seen the end of the series -- I haven't and please no spoilers) I'd like to point out -- if Aqualad ISN'T the mole (as Fate would imply) then Aqualad REALLY got the short end of the stick in this series.

Seriously -- he has one single defining characteristic -- his infatuation with Tula. If the climax ISN'T about him, then he got exactly ONE Aqualad-centric episode in the entire series (Downtime). This very interesting character is THEIR CREATION. Superboy gets 3+ central eps, Artemis ... how many? 3 AT LEAST -- Robin two+ KF two+ Miss Martian 3+ -- and Aqualad is even knocked out for the entirety of Bereft -- what the heck? They spend the entire series keeping out of his head -- we end up knowing almost NOTHING about him -- even his conflict to escape the Fate helmet is off-camera.

If there ISN'T some revaltory twist regarding Kaldur in the finale -- I'm calling discrimination against Afro-Atlanteans here.
