Glad to see them revisiting the ice villain situation, and confirming their ties to The Light (which is getting ridiculous in how many villains it encompasses).[/spoiler]

Well, to the best of our knowledge the only two people at the prison who knew about the Light are Strange and Icicle Sr.. Everyone else could have been under the impression that the breakout was the actual point and don't know anything about the Light at all.

Nonetheless, being organized by Icicle Senior still means they were ultimately tied to the Light, even if they weren't aware of it. It would just mean they were manipulated rather than directly employed.

Villains never manipulate other people, what are you talking about? Is Hugo Strange on venom? How did he do that tackle??????

Also, if even if he didn't, he's a man who's fit and healthy who managed to catch another person off-guard. Icicle doesn't have super-strength or nobody-moves-the-blobness. Its reasonable that someone relatively healthy and strong could tackle him to the ground if he didn't see it coming.
Its also possible he was taking a fall, given Hugo and he were in cahoots.
Well, yeah. Wasn't the whole break-out attempt a way to remove Waller and get Strange in charge of Belle-Reve? I mean, sure, if some cons actually managed to escape so much the better, but the show made it plain that getting Strange into the warden's chair was the goal. Icicle took the fall and Strange made himself look like a hero while Waller looked like she dropped the ball
It isn't quite Justice League but it is nice to have a show I can enjoy with my son. We have the most recent episode DVR'd and haven't seen it yet.
With the mind reading Martian Manhunter and M'gann heavily involved with the team as well as the comic world's greatest scheming mind in Batman, my theories on who the mole is boil down to;
The mole is actually a Justice League plant designed to infiltrate their unknown enemies. The mole will gain the Light's trust by feeding them information that appears more damaging then it actually is in an attempt to uncover who they are and what they are intending.
Superboy is unknowingly the mole. His escape from Cadmus was allowed because somehow the Light is able to see and hear through his eyes. The loss of Superboy as a weapon was more than offset by the chance to know what the Justice League is planning.
No, just a double agent: the Light sent her to spy on YJ after they busted out Superboy and got on their radar, but she was caught/turned herself in to Green Arrow and Batman.
I actually caught the episode when it aired for once. Well, most of it - missed the first five or six minutes due to not paying close enough attention to the time.
Spoiler
Due to that, quick question: did anything important happen in the opening that wasn't covered by Robin and Artemis' viewing of the security footage? That's about where I came in.
Anyway though, good episode. Great to see some development for Artemis. Surprised to find out Cheshire is her sister. Also, seriously did not see that ending coming. I wonder why Tornado didn't kill them if, as it seems, he was infected with some virus by the other robots?
This does also seem to point against Artemis being the Light's mole. Assuming the robots were from them (seems likely, since the last Red Tornado copy-cat bot was), she could have just let them win once Robin was incapacitated if she were working for them. Unless she's a double agent I suppose, but then she just probably blew her cover with the Light, since the robots will presumably report back on her actions.
Robin's tendency to make up words by removing prefix-like portions of other words is still annoying me, but I guess it's mandatory in any episode he has a significant role in, so I've just gotta learn to ignore it. Seriously though, "get turbed?" Ugh.

Beginning of episode was just..oh.. I don't know....
Spoiler
Robin running up to Artemis the first day of school and taking a picture. Randomly. Then like, 14 hours later, popping up behind her when they are about to use a transporter tube thingey to the cave. And sounding the same. And risking his secret identity. And Batman's. Then they argue over who goes first (warp thingey is a phone booth ), find out cave is under attack,BAM title theme.
I liked the non-superpower emphasis on them. *ships*. Also, Cheshire and Artemis are adoptive sisters??? Look really different to be straight up sisters. (Ack family problems are NOT NECESSARY Superhero-teenage drama show!) And bad! I cant ship Red Arrow with Cheshire anymore! Artemis as the annoying sister-in-law RUINS IT ALL!

Right, guess I forgot whether he changed "disturbed" or "distraught." Either way, it's just painful.

why I seem to be the only one who cares that Artemis picked her one arrow and the massive amount of luck that shot was, instead of.. say.. Dr. Fate's Helmet. Which was RIGHT THERE. RIGHT. THERE. Supermagical powers=good! VERY GOOD! SAVE LIVES! DO IT MORE!

I was wondering if she might do that too. Though then again, there's always the worry of Doctor Fate commandeering the first body that puts on the helmet, like he wanted to do with Kid Flash.
