I know some of you here watch this show, and the rest of you SHOULD watch this show, and I just got caught up through episode 1 of season 2. I don't necessarily want to spoil everything right off the bat, I'll let that happen as the conversation gets going. That being said, the beginning of season 2 was AWESOME. Completely unexpected.
It's five years after the end of season 1.
The team has doubled in size.
Some members have graduated to the Justice League.
Some members turned down the Justice League.
Three new members get a good spotlight while running a mission.
There's a major identity shakeup with at least one of the main characters.
Lobo!
A secret alien invasion plot that starts to turn public opinion against aliens in a believable way.
...this episode is like a rollercoaster from beginning to end. They hit you with new status quo thing after new status quo thing after new status quo thing in rapid succession, they give you just enough on the characters from season 1 to peak your interest across the board, they spend enough time letting you get to know a few of the new characters so you'll feel invested going forward, and we get a plot that feels like a good one-episode adventure that also serves to set up the storyline of the entire season. After this first episode, I can't wait for episode 2, where they'll presumably dial it back a notch and slow down and start to delve into where everybody's lives are.
So what's everybody think of this show in general, and the season premier?
