After I typed that I was running through the list of Robins in my head and was only coming up with four. Oh well.

FWIW, my TiVo did not catch YJ: Invasion on Saturday like it did back in the Spring. Had to add a new season pass for YJ:I. And of course there isn't a single repeat viewing. WTF Cartoon Network?
Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was in the same boat.

I don't know... I'd probably take an arm from him over taking one from Red Skull.
It was sort of weird that both Young Justice and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes episodes this week featured

The return episode was great and pulled no punches with the return of the original Roy Harper.

Yeah, I missed the first episode of the Invasion season and had to wait until just a month or so ago to catch it...

By the way, does this mirror Arsenal's origin in the DC universe in any fashion?

In answer to your question, only in the loosest of fashions, to my knowledge. Roy wasn't cloned. He became Arsenal, and he only lost his arm years later. I'm not sure if his replacement arm came from Lex at all, but I doubt it.

You do NOT want the cartoon to follow the "Arsenal-loses-his-arm-and-falls-off-the-wagon-and-cradles-a-dead-cat-thinking-it's-his-dead-daughter" comic book series, otherwise known as the miniseries "Rise of Arsenal" or "One of the many reasons DC felt like they should reboot their entire universe."

Not really, Roy Harper in the classic continuity became Arsenal when he went back to the Titans. At that point he had simply upgraded his arrows to major offensive weapons, hence his name.

Crap dude, I’m sorry. I didn’t even think about A:EMH being a spoiler, since it was pretty much based on the comics. I’ve fixed my post, but I can’t fix where you quoted me.

Man I love this show. So much geeky characters/Storyline goodness. I'm so glad DC figured out that expanding the characters past the main "star(s)" or namesakes in a Series is a GOOD THING.

Damn gina! this episode was fucking intense. I can't believe Aqualad blew up Mount Justice, even if he is working undercover and it was part of the mission.

I'm going to guess Darkseid is the bad guy above the other main light members. I don't of anyone else that can bring that many people under control unless they are being controlled by starro.
It is kind funny how Mercy has been a normal person, an amazon, and now an android. Next she'll probably be a alien.
I didn't see the point in the Bumblebee part. I guess she is breaking up with whoever that one guy is but who cares. Hmmm is he Icon maybe but why would he be dating a kid. ahh who cares.

That's Mal Duncan - in the comics he is Vox (formerly Guardian), but he hasn't shown any powers so far in the show. But he's been in the show since the first season (as a high school student).
I took that scene as showing him even further on the outside. Everyone around him is a super hero (he's been shown coordinating the teams within mount justice), and he has no powers. Now his high school girlfriend is More interested in science than him (and I assume that doctor Palmer was the Atom?). Maybe we're heading down a storyline with him in which he tries to obtain powers or something similar.

I don't know what happened this morning but I got the wrong show on my dvr. It described this week's episode but when I went to watch it, it was the how to train your dragon show instead of Young Justice. Did anyone else have this problem?

On a side note, the Dragon show is actually pretty good.

Cartoon Network pulled DC Nation from their schedule until January:
Cartoon Network Abruptly Pulls DC Nation From October Lineup
Fans of the DC Nation programming block lit up Twitter this morning after discovering that Cartoon Network has unexpectedly pulled Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series from the remainder of its October schedule. New episodes had begun airing just two weeks ago.
Green Lantern producer Giancarlo Volpe explained that, “Apparently Cartoon Network preempted it in celebration of their 20th birthday. Their logic, not mine. I am very disappointed. [...] Preempted means they replaced it (hopefully only temporarily) with How to Train Your Dragon.”
Volpe was just as surprised by the move as everyone else, writing, “I am hoping they’ll be back in two weeks. But nobody knows for sure.”
Disappointed fans also began peppering the DC Nation Facebook page with criticism, with one person suggesting “Cartoon Network executives” in response to a poll question about “your favorite super-villain.” The network has yet to release an official statement, but when it does, it may have to explain the decision to this face:
“This is my son’s ‘where’s Green Lantern?’ face,” Bryan Lindsey wrote in a Twitter message directed at the network.
DC Nation debuted on Cartoon Network in March, anchored by Green Lantern: The Animated Series and Young Justice, and featured well-received animated shorts starring Batman, Teen Titans, Animal Man, Amethyst, Plastic Man and other DC Comics characters. Full-length series Beware the Batman and Teen Titans Go! will join the lineup next year.
UPDATE (1:45 PT): Cartoon Network has announced on Twitter, “Hey #DCNation fans! Have you heard?? DC Nation will return in January with all new episodes!”
