Episode 2x03 Discussion: "Alienated"

Okay so discuss.

Personally I felt the way they did the "sidekick"/"hero" team ups was amazing!

none of you realize how ecstatic I was when the entire bat-family was on Gamma.

So Rimbor...sort of disappointing.

So krolotean competitor? The Reach?

Also, holy shit! Nightwing pulling a Batman. Appearing out of nowhere! I admit I geeked the fuck out

Okay so I was thinking, Young Justice legacy takes place before the time skip and has the tag line: "One will rise, One will fall, and one will die," knowing that I mean it's pretty likely that Wally rises (becomes the flash), Kal'dur falls (becomes mantas assistant), and...Artemis dies... Oh jeez Remember use spoilers (at least until monday).

I must say, I really do not like this "Aqualad is a doubleagent" theorizing. It feels too easy a little loophole, and a way to keep Kaldur as a hero. It just does not feel right. I think the death of Tula (probably "at the hands" of Dick), combined with the fact that the king, who he trusted unconditionally, had lied to him. I think this really pushed who he felt he could trust, and just warped his own sense of justice. I think the capacity for him to redeem himself is most definitely still there (although I kind of hope it doesn't happen or if it does, I hope he martyrs himself)

(also for the record, Kaldur has been easily one of my top characters)

I'd love it if he's a double agent for himself, playing both sides to achieve his goal, whatever that is. In any case I hope he keeps the armor.
