Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

If you're feeling...ahemish. (I prefer rapidgator.)

You can also just watch it there.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

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.

The (final) Young Justice episode just made it to iTunes, Steph.

I got that e-mail mid-morning!

And because I already read the whitefont, this comic is relevant to the last episode (it IS spoilery for the last episode, although if you don't know it was referring to YJ, then you might be confused): [link]

It should be noted that Weisman has shown nothing but contempt for the concept of the Speed Force. Which doesn't mean that Wally isn't alive; he could have been shot through time or something.

Well, I can understand some of his problem with the Speed Force. While I'm okay with the concept (and something is necessary to explain how the various Flashes don't incinerate themselves or otherwise suffer grievous injury when moving at the speeds they do) writers have turned it into an anything power. Looking into it, though, he seems to think it's silly in general.

Oh, well. We haven't been presented with anything in the actual show that says it doesn't exist, so I'm going to stick with my happy denial for now.
