Mr. Greg Weisman,

When you said that "Depths" was the one of most dramatic episodes to date, you were absolutely NOT kidding around! I found this episode to the BEST episode of this first bunch of Season Two episodes. I was extremely happy by the way it mostly turned out, so I'd like to ask two questions.

1. Based on Nightwing's statement about his own leadership, it appears he only started at the beginning of 2015, assuming this is correct. If I'm interpreting this correctly, does that mean that Aqualad's leadership lasted for the entire first four years of the time-skip, and everything that we've learned about Kaldur so far happened during that time?

2. I'm happy that Aqualad was a good guy the ENTIRE time, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Interestingly, based on the conversation between them, only Nightwing, Artemis and Wally know the truth, and apparently they have for quite some time. Being the leader of The Team I can understand how Nightwing knew, but considering the nature of Aqualad's undercover work, how did Artemis and Wally get involved with protecting Kaldur's cover in the first place?

Thanks for taking the time to read this posting.

Hi Greg more than a question , i just wanted to comment on the scene that Superman tries to save the kronoteans from the explosion, even risking his own life in the process. I must say that was one the best representation of what Superman truly is at his core, a true hero that no matter what will defend all life , even at the cost of his. That was a truly emotional scene , and as a superman fan for manyyears, Thank you for giving probably one of the best moment if not the best moment for him in any medium. Keep up the amazing work all the production team, hopefully we have many years left of stories to come.

Anybody know why Young Justice episodes are no longer being added to Cartoon Network On Demand on Time Warner Cable? Who do I have to beat half to death with a sack of moldy gym socks over this? Kari? Kari!?!

Was anyone on the Team besides Zatanna an Authorized Guest before they joined?

Is Artemis's glamoured appearance based on a character from DC Comics (and if so, who, of course)?

In the Mount Justice scene at the end of "Depths", who was the girl standing next to Jaime Reyes, and who was the girl being comforted by Barbara Gordon?

Hi Greg! Does Dick see Artemis as a dear friend, a sister or anything more? I'm sure he wouldn't do anything to hurt Wally but... after watching "Depths" I don't know what to think.

Hello Mr. Weisman I have 2 questions:

1. Does Aquaman's telepathy in the show only affect fish life or can it also affect mammals/humans in some way?

2. If Aquaman can affect humans does Black Manta's helmet protect him from telepathy?

No question. Just praise.

I finished watching "Depths" well over two hours ago, and I am still buzzing as if I were on a sugar rush. It was BRILLIANT. BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT. Loved it!

I was sure after "Happy New Year!" that if we gave this new season a chance we'd love it. "Alienated" and "Salvage" made me start loving it officially. This episode just sealed it; I am head-over-heels in love with this episode.

Kudos to everyone involved in its creation!

Wow... That's all I have to say... WOW! What an episode! You promised that it was the most dramatic one to date and you weren't kidding!

This series' writing has been superb since the beginning but you've REALLY kicked it into high gear this season! "Depths" was FLAWLESS! Applause for you and the whole team that bring this show to the small screen!

A lot of things were touched on this week that people have wondered about. Is Kaldar truly bad? What exactly was the reason that Conner broke up with M'Gann, and what was meant by her giving him no choice? (Although I had pretty much guessed that it had to do with her new "interrogation" technique. But who would have thought that M'Gann would have tried to tamper with Conner's mind? No wonder he broke up with her!) Did Nightwing (Robin then, maybe?) ever date Zatanna?

All those little nuances were answered tying off all the loose ends. Something that you rarely see on TV especially in an animated series.

And I have to say that I completely agree with Conner. La'Gann is a jerk. At least to Conner. It's like he just loves to rub it in Conner's face that he's with his ex. Although I think it's just a reflex mechanism. He knows that Conner is major competition for M'Gann's heart, so he's trying to stake his claim to her.

Although I do find it surprising that as close as M'Gann and Conner were that she did pick up with La' Gann so quickly. He may not be a rebound now, but he had to have been at the start. No one falls in love again that quickly after a long term relationship. But who knows? Maybe Martians do?

Q1. How long was it actually between Conner dumping her that M'Gann started dating La'Gann?

I had been wondering as many people had if Kaldar really had turned to the dark side or if it was part of a deep undercover operation. (I'm personally glad that he's not evil! Even though I have to admit that it would have been equally good story telling to have had him really turn. There's noting more dramatic than having someone who was once a teammate; someone who once watched your back to then turn around and try to stab it.)

Once I saw "Alienated" I was for sure he had turned his back on the team especially after the bomb went off, but I always have had doubts since then and these were my reasons:

R1. Kaldar was the most level headed person on the team. It seemed odd that out of everyone he would be the one to go off the deep end.

R2. When you're doing the hero gig, before long you're going to loose a teammate in death. And at its worst it may end up being someone you love romantically. That's just something that you have to be prepared for.

R3. He learning that his father was Black Manta didn't seem like a good enough reason for him to turn either. It wasn't like he didn't know anyone on his own team that was in a similar situation. Both Artemis and Conner have biological connections to villains and mercenaries.

R4. And this is the best one: He warned Nightwing and Superboy of the presence of the bomb and how much time was left before it was to go off. What villain would do that? That had stuck with me ever since I watched that episode. Now I've seen villains call attention to bombs in the past but NO villain ever says how much time is left on the clock to the hero... good to know that you left is some bread crumbs to follow if we were smart enough to pay attention. ^_~.

Q2. What kind of pill did Artemis bite down on that made her heart stop beating?

I also have one question regarding "Alienated" that was brought to the fore in this episode.

Q3. Who was it that set the bomb in "Alienated"?

I always thought that it was Kaldar who set the bomb but was it him or the mysterious "Partner"?

This season is going SOOOOOOOO well! I'm surprised a third season hasn't been announced.

Q4. Are you and your team getting nervous that you haven't been picked back up yet? (I hope by the time you get to my questions that you have been picked up for another season and that the question will me moot.)

It seems to me that if you lost any viewers that they should come back. Some were enraged over the time jump, but more or less because Kaldar, Artemis, and Wally were missing, but since then it's been shown that they are all alive and well and still very much in the game at some level or another. Pretty much the only thing that we missed in not seeing the past 5 years is seeing some of the characters date and Conner's relationship with Superman progress. Which when you think about it isn't all that important. Heroics usually come first, love and family are a close second. Besides the scenes between Wally and Artemis contain enough love to go around. I especially loved seeing them hold hands.

Ohhh! And we got to see Carol Farris today! Very nice. Don't know if she's in a relationship with Hal on Earth 16 or not but it was nice to see her anyway.

I just have one more thing to say. I'm still waiting VERY patiently to see Lois Lane, Perry White, and Jimmy Olsen. Still waiting... I just hope I don't have to wait much longer. ^_~.
