Nightwing I believed in you! So disappointing.
Miss Martian was practically lobotomizing people and she got away with it.

Too be fair neither almost killed the whole team just to cover their escape. The Outsiders been a team for 5 minutes and already 12x smarter than YJ.

So is the Light actually working for Darkseid? Or is the Warworld the end goal for their years of machinations? Lex's double cross was amazing, when I saw the bolos coming through the portal I was all "how did Dick get a boom tube?" and then Deathstroke strolls in like a boss (or a Bishop).
Man at G Gordon exposing the Reach, also what the hell at booting Arsenal off the team, stupid decision. Nightwing complains that he put the team at risk, but so did practically every member of the team at one point. (Miss Martian, Superboy, Blue Beetle, and Nightwing himself)
Still not changeing the fact that their is some major sanctimony going on here.

I love how both the Justice League and the Reach now look like complete criminals in the eyes of the public. Shit's about to go down. Arsenal is going to be the first one to figure it out, and Lex will just deactivate his arm like he shut down Superboy (password: dead kitty).
And everyone except the Outsiders and The Light are guilty of it.

I was there from day one brother. There will always be non believers in the distance
savage lol.
The Light are working for the Light. They are manipulating everyone to achieve their own goals. What that is, no one knows yet.
Can we make Aqualad the leader again?
I'm mad nobody picked up on the fact that Bruce Wayne can just write a check.
The fact that Aqualad is willing to follow Dick's orders makes me question his judgement.
It's sad I can't even think of who should be leader instead...Bumblebee, I guess?

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Nightwing really is becoming a terrible Batman.

There's a difference between a risky deep cover mission, and saying "fuck ya'll, I'm blowing out the airlock because I'd rather be dead than captured". Even when MM, Artemis, and Superboy went solo/off-mission, they never intentionally hurt their teammates.
The GGG angle is what makes me think Darkseid is involved. The interview was a setup.

Yes! The old cue ball is going to sit back and calmly screw everyone else over.
It was right for Dick to kick Arsenal off the team. Dick also gave Arsenal an invitation to return when he got himself under control.
Funny that the Aqualad part of the plan is the only part that went swimmingly.
We need an "Aqualad and the Outsiders" spinoff.
oh I see what you did there

Aqualad as a double agent hasn't payed any dividends yet. He still doesn't know anything. Not even a "Hey guys, Deathstroke took off all of a sudden in a boom tube."
On the flipside he hasn't gotten the headquarters destroyed, caused a team member to be brainwashed, got the earth sucking alien conquerer dick, etc.

Atom could take out B. beetle and the reach with ease. Also could of taken out mongul as well. Same goes for fate and captain M.
But the show is called young justice not justice league

lol I think I complained so hard that Nightwing had a moment of enlightenment. He realized how stupid his undercover plan was, but then he became stupid again.
G. Gordon suddenly became a more compelling parody of O'Reilly. Upsetting the Reach in the guise of appearing unbiased.
It was nice to see Plastic Man for 3 seconds.

Nightwing is right. He's too much a loose cannon right now. He already got a couple chances.
I'm glad someone pointed out the reach had all those ships and lied. I appreciate they had Gordon stay pretty true to his bit for both sides.

Yep I was watching that and thinking it would be more important to leave and fully debrief the team instead of getting self righteous but YJ Nightwing is a really self righteous dick so it was in tune with his character.
Also I honestly think half the issues this team has this season is because aqualad had all the leadership qualities but he is off being a spy. They basically said so in season 1 too.
Dam it dick. 2 steps forward, 3 steps back. Martian and kon still have secrets, you yourself admitted that you put peoples lives in danger and this is what you do? Jesus Christ. On the bright side, for as short a time as we got with them, arsenal and the outlaws are a thing, and it was awesome.
I don't know, guys. Having dangerous secrets is a little different from actively sabotaging the rest of your team so you can escape in the middle of a combat situation.
And this isn't the first time Arsenal fucked up, either. Remember the dumbass setting off explosions in the middle of a stealth mission?

Arsenal has not been on a single mission that he hasn't blown for personal reasons.
His first mission, he intentionally blew cover to piss off Luthor, forcing the team into a confrontation with Black Beetle that they wouldn't have survived without Green Beetle's intervention.
After that, his only other mission was the Warworld fight, where he blew the airlock on the team and watched as Blue Beetle took them all down to cover his escape.
That's cool when you're a solo act, but not on a team.
With the others, its poor judgement calls. With Arsenal, it was complete, consistent disregard for the team.
Although, they should kick off Lagoon Boy for getting rid of the ship's rebreathers so that Superboy couldn't provide backup in the mission that got him captured by Aqualad.

Lagoon Boy is a good member of the team, it's not his fault everyone plays him for sucker. This show is getting so good, how many episodes are left?
The original six aren't immune to those actions. Remember when their constant bitching and infighting on what kaldur withheld from the team almost got them fucked up? Roy should have never been made a member without clearing him from the obvious trauma he's been under, but I'm sure no one thought about that. I mean he's Bruce's apprentice, and he didn't think once that Roy would have quite a bit of trauma for the stuff he's been through?

Three.
Nightwing made the right call, just not at the right moment. Arsenal is not really fit to work in a team.
He is pretty effective fighter, but is willing to put the life of his teammates in danger. I think he is better working solo than in a team.
That said, joining the Runaways is probably the best outcome for everyone, he is more likely to identify himself and care for them than "the team". He provides the group experience in fighting bad guys, they get him character development.
Bonus points for two hero groups dealing with both the Reach and the Light.

Still, Arsenal was able to evade constant pursuit, on an alien-made planet for an unknown amount of time,on his own, and survive.
As well as have the brilliant improv to combat Black Beetle's power, with something even more dangerous in Mongul. Combo's as a distraction while they release the team (who didn't look up to fighting when they got out), and to attempt to take the warworld key (outsmarted by Luthor, though)

Nightwing: I'm such a dick.
It didn't make sense to put Arsenal on the team when Nightwing knew he was a hot-head, especially when it was the Reach who had experimented on him. That doesn't make sense for a stealth infiltration mission. Secondly, why would you put someone on your team who is using technology given to him by an evil mastermind? Lex had already planned to give him the robotic arm eventually, but for what purpose ?

This show needs more episodes.
That's unfortunate. It's also too bad they didn't give us more Mongol whipping Black Beetle around. I am not a fan of any of the Beetles.

I'm thinking either next week or the following week, they finish off the Reach. The finale is going to be about kicking the Light off of WarWorld and having the Green Lantern Corp tow it away.
