I thought the backward part was to keep Warner Bros' web-spiders from finding it, but that makes sense too.

I can see them free on Time Warner On Demand, but it's not always dependable. Though occasionally that works in our favor too and next week's episode is put online early. :-)

Last week's episode was pretty good. I'm not much of an Impulse fan but seeing Jay Garrick in uniform was really great. The focus on the Flash family was overdue really, we'd seen a lot of the other mentor characters in the first season. I do hope we're not in for an overdose of the "classic" YJ comic lineup. I guess the addition of Batgirl, Beast Boy and Bumblebee (plus Mal) will help balance things out.

G. Gorden Godfrey's voice makes me want to punch him, so perfect casting, I suppose! I just looked it up, because I thought it sounded like Tim Curry, and, sure nuff, it was.

Another fun episode. I'm impressed with how grown up the plots are, compared to the old Teen Titans show. We've got action, but also very real romantic / life-issue stuff going on between Megan & Conner and Wally & Artemis.

This week's episode was crazy good... awesome plot twist at the end... guess YJ is going on hiatus for a while which is a major bummer...

There's a certain kind of writing that only works for the audience, or at least works best, once they've gotten to know the characters. I'm glad this show is at that point and is taking advantage of it.

Even as a Tempest/Garth fan, I find myself liking Kaldur, so it's nice to see him still 'in the game' for good or for bad.

Black Manta is turning out to be all sorts of fascinating as a bad guy, here, which is also very cool, since he's not nearly as strongly used in the comics.

With Miss Martian being easily the toughest (and most versatile) member of the team, I love the dynamic, as well.

Her telekinesis has become freaky strong, with her stunt at the end of this last episode with the missile, and her telepathy remains indispensible.

Gah. I still miss it for various reasons, and can't find the new eps on the web.

I just caught 2 episodes on demand. The intro of Impulse and another one were a rocket bound for Mars gets taken out by Black Manta.

I have not been catching this series for a variety of reasons...but I need to start watching this on a regular basis. Totally impressed by what I waw today.

It's an awesome show (miles and away the best thing DC is putting out, these days). You can generally see the new eps on Youtube, if you don't have Xfinity or whatever.

A poster on YouTube named DC Nation Videos tends to post them up in five post bits, with the only funky bit being that they are reverse imaged, so that the writing on stuff in the background or whatever is all backwards.

At the moment, all of the season 2 videos are still up at the link I posted. There were 26 season 1 episodes, I think, and they are a bit harder to locate.

I've had some luck watching the first season eps at Animeflavor, but that might not work for everyone.

I was really impressed with the level of thought that is going into the writing. It seems very mature for a super-hero cartoon.

With the plot of the last episode I saw, with someones return and Black Manta attacking...it was really intense.

There are deep themes between Kon and Megan. A lot of stuff that would go over most kids heads.

I am going to try to track these down...on DVD hopefully.

Yeah, I've got to say that I didn't care much for the first few episodes, but the occasional more recent episode I've seen has looked pretty good. I'll have to track it down as well eventually.

The only three reasons I watch Young Justice are because Rocket's my favorite Milestone character and I'm overjoyed to see her in a cartoon, and that someone actually decided to use Lian, but I mostly watch it because I worry over what they do with Roy's character.

I can't say I'm fond of some of the romance in this show because it feels more melodramatic then it should and I considered that to be trite and boring. I really have no interest in what's going on with Kon and Megan.

I do admit that I actually like the versions of Beast Boy and Cass Sandsmark in this show much better than their comic versions.

The first season is available on DVD in two volumes. This show is essentially my regular superhero fix. My kids enjoy watching it with me so I'd love it for that if nothing else. Even my wife tries valiantly to keep up with who's who when they're out of uniform. "I thought the Flash was the blonde one?" "Yes, but not with a goatee."

When this show fires on all cylinders no other superhero cartoon or movie can touch it, for my money. I enjoy it more than I did the DCAU Justice League show, and it was really good.

Another great episode this morning... Young Justice is definitely not your typical superhero cartoon... conversation between Nightwing and Kid Flash had me wondering whether Wally could actually be right about Aqualad... wouldn't surprise me at all...

Last week's episode was pretty surprising, with a lot of twists and turns, but I'm glad they still have time for the small character bits. Poor Mal! His day went from bad to worse.

And I always enjoy it whenever Icicle, Jr. makes the scene. He's just so bad at his profession without even realizing it.

Cartoon Network should be paying these people a boatload of money to create a few more Earth-16 shows.

Went to watch today's episode on the DVR only to find some show about dragons... from what I could find out, looks like Cartoon Network won't be airing new episodes again until January '13...

Lame...

But what about the new episodes of YJ and Green Lantern that were scheduled for this weekend? They're still on my digital guide for today's rebroadcast at 10am.

Cartoon Network apparently decided 12 hours before broadcast to put it back on haitus until next year, and they don't seem to have bothered updating the schedules.

The Green Lantern show is not terrible, but not really anything I'm gonna miss, either. But Young Justice (and the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon) are the best things DC and Marvel are putting out these days (apart from the occasional movie).

Here\'s the twitter announcement. I love the first response it got (crude as it is).

Wild internet rumor (which could be completely pulled from someone's butt) suggests that DC may have lost / be losing rights to the Milestone characters, and that the upcoming episode(s) may have included scenes by Icon, Static and / or Rocket that needed to be purged, in the event that happens.

If that has a germ of truth to it, they might have chosen to put off the entire DC Nation block, even if the Green Lantern show wouldn't have been otherwise affected by the Milestone thing.
