Greetings, Mr. Weisman. I'm glad that you're back.
After recently rewatching all of Young Justice and read the tie-in comics simultaneously, I have questions.
1 Am I hallucinating, or did Jonny Quest crashed Dick Grayson's 14th birthday party?
2 What came first, Torch Songs or Musicology 101?
3 Is Kraig the same g-gnome that followed Superboy into the Cave on his first day?
4 Why exactly is Match's body decaying?
5 Kylstar and Mogul's stories sounded practically identical. Was that on purpose?

Now, I want to address something and it might make me look like a know-it-all, but that is not my intention. I wouldn't even bring the matter up if I did't consider it to be important beyond this particular context.
I was about to ask if somebody had already made you aware of the wrong use you made of the word "sentient" in the issues about Gorilla City; I checked the archives and found that there was quite some discussion about it a long time ago. And I'm sorry, but everyone there seemed to be equally misinformed. So, just in case no one has clarify this to you yet, here it is: Sentience is the capability of feeling pain and pleasure, so practically all animals are sentient, in different degrees, as long as they have a nervous system or an equivalent. Both frogs and dogs are sentient. It has nothing to do with self-awareness. It is also not something subject to much interpretation: the word has a specific meaning and refers to something that is measurable (there is a lot of specialized articles which validate what I'm saying, can be found online). As for Gorillas, last thing I learnt is that all mammals (us included) have a fairly similar level of sentience.
Again, I'm not saying this for showing-off or being a totalitarian of semantics. I do it because it is part of a very important political debate.
