Yeah... I am not feeling the aster with Season Three (or at least the last three episodes). I am not really invested in the new additions to the team, nor the plight of the kids n Taos.
Don't get me wrong - it's not bad, as such - I just want to see the characters from S1 and S2. Too early for me to say something like "I wouldn't continue my subscription for S4", especially given the low cost and the uncertainty as to what happens to DC Online once the main WB site gets kicked off, but... it's trending that way, for me.

Poor Kaldur becomes Aquaman and shows up even less then he did in season 2 :p.

I do find it kind of amusing (if not necesarilly in a good way) that all those heroes that were teased in inital promo art (Robin, Traci 13, Arsenal, Spoiler), have really not done anything of note this season.

Actually I'm kinda the opposite. I loved these past three episodes because they didn't focus so heavily on Brion, Halo, and Forager. All 3 of them have attributes about them that make me cringe whenever they show up, I won't go on about it here for the purpose of brevity, but yeah, hate/loathe/dislike all 3 of them to some extent. It says a lot when Terra's the most compelling compared to them given how silent she is.

With that being said, yeah this is the lowest of the three seasons for me. But that's what happens when they devote half a season to new characters attempting to get me to care for them and fail completely, while the old characters I liked get sidelined.

Anyway, judging from the next episode, it looks like the Team is in the spotlight there too. So yeah. More Gar, Static, Bart, Cassie, and Jaime please. Just please let there be less of those 3.

I mean, I'm kind of waiting for more of the other Outsiders. Remember Katana and Metamorpho? Doesn't seem like the show does past that one infiltration episode :sweat:.

One of my favorite moments this season was the fight against Shiva, Slade and Bane, so it definitely would have been nice to see more of those guys. Metamorpho has always been the most interesting Outsider to me as far as personality and abilities went.

I'm honestly fine with the current Cyborg design we have. He actually looks half-man, half-machine, instead of an android with a half-human face, and I appreciate that we didn't get a DC Animated movie rehash like half the designs and redesigns from this season.
That's a really good point, M.O.D.O.K., and if he were to join the Team or work with Nightwing, etc. -- I wouldn't mind him keeping that how do I say... more minimalist design he has now. At most, I'd like to see Bourassa take a crack at the New Teen Titans or even the 2015 look instead of rehashing the bulky armor era. His look on YJ now isn't too far off from those two, imo.

My only problem is that he doesn't really look like a Superhero. I'd rather not see Cyborg fighting crime and busting bad guys in basically a hoodie.

I do hope whatever we end up getting is a sleeker and less bulky take compared to Bourassa's other Cyborg designs.

It's interesting how he auditioned for the show in its early years as Aqualad and Kid Flash before he eventually got Cyborg in season 3.
