Canon: Justice League Unlimited
Pairing: Huntress/The Question
Canon Level: Dating

For who they are, the Question and Huntress are actually rather cute together. Huntress is a lot more ruthless than a lot of superheroes and the Question is a paranoid conspiracy nut, but they work somehow. Helena takes Vic seriously without necessarily buying into all of his theories, while Vic helps Helena with her demons. They back each other up in a world where neither of them has many allies.

One nice thing about being back at school is watching cartoons all Saturday night long with my roommate. I'm really liking Naruto, although Sakura's annoying. (She's too hypocritical for my tastes. Plus, it always annoys me when a character thinks she can change someone else with her love.) Zatch Bell and One Piece both continue to be annoying and slightly disturbing. Futurama, Inu-Yasha, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Samurai Champloo continue to be cool.

There were two eps of Justice League Unlimited, and I was surprised. I really liked them! I loved what they did with J'onn since it makes sense. Even though I'll miss him, it's better than what would have happened if he didn't take a vacation. Also, Flash hugged him when he left! So cute! (My biggest gripe about JLU is the complete lack of Flash. That one little scene totally made up for the lack in that ep [but not the series].)

And, Teen Titans totally rocked! How much do I love Teen Titans? THIIIIIIS MUCH!!! (Yes, my love really does need three exclamation marks.) I loved the difference between Robin and Mento's styles of leadership, especially since it seemed to highlight how while the Doom Patrol may have raised Beast Boy, the Titans are more of a family. I thought it was weird that they occasionally refered to the Doom Patrol members by name. It's the first time (that I remember) that anyone's had two names given in the show. (Slade goes by his actual name, but he's also never called Deathstroke. So, Slade functions as a codename. [I thought that was his codename when I first watched because I'd never read any comics at that point in time.]) And giving the Doom Patrol names is weird because it'll be off if they never refer to Beast Boy as Gar. But they can't because then he'll be the only Titan to have a name other than their superhero name.

Oh well, I ramble. Am eagerly waiting forward to next Saturday so I can see the end of tonight's ep.

Hee, the roommate and I are now watching Firefly. Mwahahaha, she is my third(ish) convert!

I've started watching this show, and good Lord, is it addicting. I'm in the process of trying to acquire all the episodes for my computer. 'Cause yeah.

I have much love for the Green Lantern, with Flash as a runner-up. The Green Lantern kicks ass and is all tough and yeah. It's hard to describe why I like him so much, but I think it's because while he is extremely tough, he's also got quite the soft side and isn't ashamed of it. Because he doesn't give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks about him.

And Flash just amuses me to no end. Especially how he's the fastest man alive, but it's rather easy for someone to run verbal circles around him. Also, I cannot hear anything of Lex Luthor from Smallville in his voice, which is a testament to Michael Rosenbaum's acting abilities. Then there's the fact that while Flash may occasionally (okay, a lot of the time) do some rather stupid things, he's incapable of being evil. Any of the others, Batman and Superman especially I feel, could potentially cross that line. But not Flash.

So of course, I spend a good part of my time slashing GL and Flash. And yes, "The Brave and the Bold" and "Metamorphosis" are two of my favorite episodes. The first is obvious being very GL- and Flash-centric; in the second, GL spends the episode avoiding every scrap of heterosexuality thrown his way. Which amuses me so very, very much.

Some might argue that the writers are stting up Hawkgirl as GL's love interest, but they seem to be good friends more than anything to me. So that's how I write that off.

One other thing. Here, they say that GL's more complicated ring constructs in "Secret Society" might have been because of fan complaints. And, actually, the more complicated ring constructs bug me. I see the simplicity as part of GL's personality. As in, why expend the energy to make something complicated when something simple will do just as well? No, really. Why should he make a giant monster with nasty teeth when making a giant rake-like object would do the exact same thing and be easier to sustain? So that's my little gripe.
