The YJ fandom is already calling it “Wonderbird” .
Damn it, YJ, making me watery-eyed.
I have to say, considering they didn't know whether or not they were making the season finale or the series finale, I think this episode did a great job of serving both roles.
I did have to laugh a bit at Greg Weisman giving himself a cameo, with Snapper Carr running monitor duty during the big mission.
Re the new couple, I have no clue what's going on in the New 52, but Weisman has repeatedly said Earth 16 is its own thing and he hasn't been following the New 52 at all.
Pre New 52 Cassie and Conner were a couple but that doesn't work as well in YJ because of the change in time line, plus Conner's relationship with M'gann. My reaction to it was pretty much "Oh, okay."
I love JLU so much. Not least because it has more strong women characters doing badass things than just about any other show I can share with Matilda.
Yeah. You can't beat JLU number-wise. Korra may win quality-wise, though. (I love JLU, but Lin Bei Fong beats out any leaguers, hands down, IMO. And Korra herself is no slouch.)
And Clancy Brown! And the cognitive dissonance of Michael Rosenbaum as the Flash (TWO LUTHORS WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?).
Hah. There's an episode in YJ Season 1 where Clancy Brown voices King Faraday and my first thought was "Why is Luthor there in disguise?"
So there WAS a new YJ yesterday? iTunes is giving me no love.
Yes, the series finale was yesterday.
Of course, CN in their infinite wisdom aired a promo during yesterday's episode advertising "Next week on DC Nation, new Green Lantern and new Young Justice." Um, no there's not, because you cancelled it, you twits.
Apparently I enjoyed the episode more than a lot of the internets did. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth about the "cliffhanger".
Having just re-watched the final episode of Spectacular Spider-man (another great Weisman superhero series cancelled too soon) with my son yesterday, the conclusion could have been much less satisfying.
Yes, the series finale was yesterday.
Man, normally the episode is ready to download first thing in the morning on Sunday. I still have nothing available on iTunes.
Someone else pointed out something that didn't occur to me when I was watching.
Earlier in the season, Blue Beetle complains that everyone thinks he's the previous Blue Beetle in a new costume, that no one outside of the League realizes Ted Kord's sacrifice.
At the end of this episode, Bart is wearing Wally's costume (which makes sense, since Wally told him he wanted him to continue his legacy when he retired). The same thing is going to happen.
That makes me even sadder.
I think my fan-wank is that in Season 3, it would have turned out that Wally was pulled into the Speed Force and would have returned at his peak comicbook power level.
