I don't know how I feel about this episode, I mean Kaldur going evil finally makes sense to me. I couldn't see the calmest most level headed guy on his team going the forces of evil for Tula, and not being told his daddy is you know, his nation's biggest threat? That's like being mad nobody told you were related to a war criminal or something. I mean neither Artemis or Conner are happy about being related to villians, so it kind understandable why Aquaman decided to keep this under his hat, even if he doesn't know about Artemis or Conner. I do like the fact Miss Martian is getting some darker tones, don't get me wrong, I liked her happy go lucky self of the first season, but now, with the sprinklings that she may not be so prefect, or pleasant...while still being sweet with Beast boy, and Lagoon boy.. Oh man could I write on about him.. probavbly will later in this post.

But some things bother me, like seeing Dick/Nightwing going down that path Batman did and does with his ' beat the bad guys at any cost' and why all the secertcy about it? Is he worried about another mole? I really hope not. While it makes sense the Light wouldn't stop at one mole after the first one failed, of sorts, its becoming a tired story line to me. I'm also worried when all is said and done and the grand plan is revealed, Nightwing is going to lose alot of friends, and get more then a few fists to the face. Nobody likes being toyed with, or shown to not to be trusted. I don't see Conner or M'gan ( sorry if that's spelt wrong) taking it well at all, since is the second time that they have been not trusted with secert information. I apologize for the tangent, but wasn;t the Team created, at least partially, because they were tired of the League keeping them out of the loop?

I have a few predictions for up coming episodes... 1. I think M'gann will cross the line one day and scramble an innocent/utterly undeserving person's brain. Not on purpose of course. it will be a case of misinformation or being caught up in the moment. I have a strong feeling it will be Kaldur, which leave both her and Nightwing in serious guilt./hot water.

2. As time goes on we're ging to see more 'beat the bad guys at all costs' attitude from Nightwing. He's under a lot of pressure. His mentor's gone, he's got a team to manage, and he's the one people keep asking questions, and more and more it seems he doesn't have all the answers, and it probably driving him nuts. I can see Black Canary making some comment about how much he's changed from the kid who was terrified of becoming like Batman.

What I hope we will see happen; Jade's reaction to Artemis' death. I think it will be good character development for her, since we have gotten shown in the past she does care for Artemis.

I do hope Lagoon boy makes it out alright. I know another comment said it already, and apologize for not knowing your user name, but I agree with them when they said Lagoon Boy's attitude would be a front to cover up his insequrities. He's the ultimate replacement, he's replacing Aqualad on the team and with Orin, and he's replacing Conner, in a sense, with M'gan. Add to the fact it seems like he doesn't go on mnay mission that aren't water based, and sees less mission time then everybody expect Mal and Beast Boy, from apperances, it understanable that he is rash, trying to prove himself... and while I adore Superboy, his.. thoughts? Comments ? whatever about helping out the 'rookie' even though anybody in that situation would have needed backup? Like I said, I can see why he was rash in his actions.

Other Teen Titan memebers! I would love to see a big sister M;gan giving Gar some dating advice about how to charm a dark magic user...

This one may seem odd, but something with Jason Todd. I can understand him not being mentioned at all, since his story is a bit dark for a Saturday Morning cartoon show.... just going into the description about how he died would probably get some kids having Nightmares... But I still would like to see something about him at least being touched on.. since Tim Drake is in the picture and the skipped right over him. I don't have high hopes for it though, becoming a Robin and dying within five years, in which time Dick has to go from Robin to Nightwing as well.. that's a tight time line.

Kaldur kicking his dad's butt. I have my beliefs that Tula died in a mission that was involved with Black Manta... Since if my guess is right, he's only been gone for a year, since that's how long Nightwing has been in charge, and if Ocean Master is still the massive jerk he was in other cartoons, I think the birth of his brother's heir would have caused him to act more rashly/evily and revealed himself sooner then later. That and you know the man did abondon him./tried to kill him in that one episode.

Sorry for the long post... this kind of episode always gets my brain going and I can't sleep until over think it to death... the post just makes it happen quicker.
