Just watched the last new episode of Young Justice for the year.


And it was a good episode. With Kaldar getting brain bleached, which was unexpected but really cool. Defiantly a way to bring in the TK abuse.

The second season is certainly darker and I feel it is just waiting for something.

Hopefully they will have a "Family" episode sometime. The lack of that sort of something in the first season was just kind of a weakness.

I just kinda want to see people sitting down for an extended scene and being a family.

I will say I am looking forward to ONE fight that may or may not happen.

Red Archer Vs. Arsenal.

Just found this thread way back on Page 3.

Anyone want to talk about how great Adventure Time is?  Season finale in ten minutes.

[kaijyuu]

Still haven't seen more than 3 episodes. It seems alright.

* kaijyuu leaves room for actual adventure time fans to talk about it.

Aw man. I just caught up to the most recent episodes. "I Remember You" was incredibly sad.

[Aqizzar]

So I've heard.  It was pretty cute, but I still felt like I was watching it for the jokes alone really.

Likewise the end of the season.  I hate "plots" like this, keep your developer-fanfic to yourself developers.

[penguinofhonor]

Does anyone have a link to it? Everything I'm looking up is just giving me spoilers for the episode.

[Neonivek]

I've come to the conclusion that people who write for Cartoons

Are completely unaware of what Science is.

The SHEER number of times I heard a "scientist" say that something "defied science" after they done a scientific test to prove said fact is staggering.

Tip: Science is not the opposite of superstition and magic. Science is a method in which one can test validity. Believe it or not Science not only can easily prove the existance of bad luck, afterall bad luck can be defined as random negative circumstances and thus it is easy to set up someone for bad luck, but if you use a scientific test to prove something like "Magic" exists then you SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN THE EXISTANCE OF MAGIC! Science has many a time found folk tales and superstition true, many of the medicines we have today, and I don't mean alternative medicine, are folk remedies.

GAWD!

I don't know why it is. This past two weeks I have seen three shows where something "Goes against science" even when it actually is being proven scientifically to exist. One proved that bad luck as a cosmic phenominon exists but came to the conclusion that it means that science is bogus and nonsense rules the universe, another proven that magical wishing fountains exist and thrown out science entirely afterwords, and another said that "Magic is science we don't know yet" and then said "No wait this IS magic because I can't explain it and I was wrong" because stupid.

I've only seen ONE show where the adamant scientist said something that wasn't incredibly stupid about science and that was an anime and it was basically that the events he was seeing was so outside his ability to understand, at the moment, that he can only conclude it is a miracle or the will of a higher power. He didn't toss away science as useless nor did he toss away the idea that what he saw couldn't be scientifically explained in the future.

So now I've watched the entirety of season 4 of Adventure Time.

So I've heard.  It was pretty cute, but I still felt like I was watching it for the jokes alone really.

Likewise the end of the season.  I hate "plots" like this, keep your developer-fanfic to yourself developers.

"I Remember You" felt really forced, but I like the season finale. They're trying something new but I feel like it's being executed really well.

[Neonivek]

Well I am going to take the plunge and actually watch MLP:FIM to finally know what the heck people are talking about.

Is there anything I should know before I get started?

I am actually worried this will be incredibly stupid like most fads. With characters who are "Quirky" so people are like "Ohh boy, so quirky! a million thumbs up!" (you can tell why I don't watch popular things).

I can just picture it right now. "Hey Applejack, lets pick apples for the apple pie we are making for Sweetiepie's birthday!" and they go "Sure! but ohh no, I ate all the apples!" and then "Ohh Applejack you sure like apples. HA HA HA HA HA" and then "CATCH PHRASE!" and ohh goodness... It is the CG Strawberry shortcake cartoon all over again that I seen.

Sometimes I wonder how short some plotlines would be if the characters used common sense for a second... or how much of a non-issue some issues would be if characters actually had the ability to solve problems outside of their specialties. (Sorry I watched a cartoon recently where a problem was presented to them... I thought of several solutions and it took them most of the episode to simply do anything less then a terrible idea)

I've watched children shows where the solutions to the problem were either difficult or not immediately obvious. Heck I watched one show for children (wasn't a cartoon) which I love because the main character always sets one difficult goal at the start of every episode and actually goes out and achieves it (I have a feeling only I love it though).

I can't be the only one who has watched a storyline and went "Just do the obvious" immediately and sat through a half hour of unfunny attempts at NOT solving the problem until they found out "The obvious" was the solution. Scoobydoo actually did nice twists on this concept too where anytime they did the obvious (Not splitting up, skipping the mystery, or skipping the obviously obviously false lead) it simply didn't work... mind you I was never really critical of them, the reason they never faced the ghosts knowing it was fake was because IT IS A CRAZY PSYCHOPERSON IN A GHOST COSTUME RUN DANG IT!

[MrWiggles]

MLI:FM doesnt have any of those short sighted writing issues you've listed. Its pretty well written average show.

[kaijyuu]

Watch it before judging

[Neonivek]

Watch it before judging

You have to understand

I have a condition called "Investment" If I watch MLP:FIM I'll have to finish it.

If it is secretly terrible then I am stuck. Only INCREDIBLY offensive shows escape this. I do NOT want to be watching a "Quirky show" for a long time. Unless it is Chowder... >_> which oddly enough had the perfect ending for the show.

[kaijyuu]

Well it's not incredibly offensive, I can guarantee that. The first season is among my Favorite Things Ever. The second season is a well written average cartoon, as Wiggles said.

This.

To be sure, not every episode was a hit for me (it was originally aimed at younger girls, maybe less so now), but as a whole I enjoyed both seasons very much.
