So its in March then. And the episode is a wonderful kid special episode. Looks like there will be a sad lack of Wondergirl-Batboy stuff, but Captain Marvel revealing secret identity to the team would be really cool.

Hurm. This episode sounds like an adaption of, or at least inspired by, A World Without Grownups, the comic that was part of the foundation for the Young Justice comics team.

I hadn't noticed that. Interesting. When I first read the synopsis I thought it seemed a bit too similar to the episode where the whole Justice League got "destroyed" and only Young Justice was left. But I forgot about World Without Grownups...

It was all a dream physic training simulation so they can tell us Miss Martian has telekenetic powers and Manhunter does not. Least favorite episode by many miles.

1.)It's telepathic powers, not telekinetic powers. Telepathy is mind-reading, mind-speaking, and the like. Telekinesis is moving physical objects with your mind.
2.)Martian Manhunter didn't say he didn't have telepathic powers, he said hers were as strong or stronger already, and would keep getting stronger. Which...how is that bad? So she's more gifted in some ways than her "uncle" (99% sure she's a White Martian). That's not inherently bad, especially with the fairly broad range of powers Martians tend to have.
3.)The episode has effects that last for at least another episode, and it forced several characters to confront things they weren't entirely comfortable with.
4.)It showed how they acted under truly desperate circumstances.
5.)While not the best episode, it was still a strong offering. The weakest was probably the "Halloween-themed" one.

...er...we're not talking about the past training-simulation episode.
We're talking about the upcoming "all adults are gone" episode.

I liked the Halloween one. Harm does not understand first person! Harm SMASH!
Though I said telekinetic, i totally meant tele-everything, but mostly kinetic. Manhunter isn't throwing around mooks with mind powers, she is. So she has more magic brain power, less superstrength. We need that whole episode to tell us that? The episode after it with the New Genesis Sphere is nice, and the team's responses are tellingly awesome. But that episode dragged on too long, had too many stupid scenes, and Eiling was NICE to Superboy.

It was a poorly worded "Oh god I hate that episode" response to ThePhantasm's post, which mentioned it.

Dude, Manhunter himself said "telepathic". Have we seen a precise side-by-side comparison of any of their other powers to their fullest extent? No?
Then maybe we should take his dialogue at face value, instead of flipping out about how the characters are RUINED FOREVER or some such.
And yeah, we sorta did need to be explicitly told that. 10 to 1 that this fact will be important later on; this show seems to keep good continuity with itself.
And why is Eiling being polite in this situation so bad?

I always just assume that if your able to be telepathic and telekinetic, those are going to be similar in scope, rather than one being incredible and one being weak. Not to mention she regularly just throws up the mental walkie talkie thing. And I'm not saying the characters are ruined forever, I'm saying the episode is terrible and makes me cry.
And Eiling is supposed to groan and be mad and blame Superman or something, I don't know. Hulk out and get disintegrated?

I agree, I didn't care for the episode. I was glad though that the emotional aftershocks of that dream weren't just brushed aside, but stayed with all the characters. That in some sense made the episode worthwhile.

Color me skeptical. My little experience with them puts TV licensed games right down there with movie licensed games in terms of quality. They just seem like cash-ins on the show's popularity with no substance behind them.

And I'm just now realizing looking at my calendar, that's a Saturday. What's with the schedule change?
Sheesh, checking Cartoon Network's schedule, it and Green Lantern are morning shows now too. I'm not even always awake when they're on. Though it does look like Green Lantern will be showing the pilot episodes again for the first two weeks, so I won't have to worry about missing those.

Well, CN looks like its moving YJ to be part of its DC Nation block... and bringing back a return of Saturday morning cartoons.
I am all for the return of Saturday morning cartoons. Waking up early on a Saturday to catch my favorite shows, bowl of cereal in hand, is a cherished childhood memory and an experience I wish on children to come.
That they also get supercool shows like YJ and GL:TAS is something I'm glad they're getting.

Yeah, I like this move too. I think it is a great decision. I know it will make it easier for my younger siblings to watch it which will be great.

Ok this was my first time seeing Zatana in an episode and it was incredibly wierd having her as a teen. I mean she's the same age as Batman... If we want to really get into it all the ages are a bit out there.
Well, that was quite good. Creative way to do a "world without adults" story, and creative solution with Captain Marvel. Also very nice to see Zatanna joining the team fully, I look forward to seeing more of her.
Honestly though, I'm no longer entirely sure why Doctor Fate is being as obstinate as he is. With Kid Flash and Aqualad it made sense, as neither of them would want to serve as a long-term host for him, and Kid Flash in particular would make a poor host, but Zatanna or Zatarra are another story. Surely he doesn't need to be in control of his host all of the time - if he'd just discuss the matter with them, I'd wager he could get them to agree to bring him out whenever he's needed, as long as he'd allow them their own life in between such instances.

How old IS Batman, anyway? I always pictured him in his early 30s.

Also shouldn't The Light be actually pissed off at Klarion. Ok sure they got their secret gadget whatsit.
But UM... Doctor Fate is back Full time.
DOCTOR FATE aka one of the singly most powerful beings in the entire DCU and comics period
DOCTOR FATE who can take on Darkseid solo who can hold his own against an enraged Specter
Doctor Fate cutting loose is more dangerous to them than the entire JLA combined. And now he's back full time not just little snippets with a host They should be wetting their pants in fear.
and yeah Batman's in his say mid 30s Zatanna is at her youngest around 28 29
Whatever it was they accomplished must've been worth it. Which is kind of scary.

I would buy that if they mentioned. Such as someone just saying, " and once our plans come to fruition even the emergence of Doctor Fate will not prove able to stop us.
It's not like the show's ever downplayed him like they did in Justice League Unlimited. The helmet's been repeatedly shown as being a hidden trump card only to be even mentioned in the most dire of situations. And now its a trump card that has had the reins removed.
