@Jurgan - I just got finished reading this a minute ago, and then popped over here - I thought it was a great character study. The 30 years with vs 100 years without rang true.

"Xanatos wants immortality but isn't desperate for it. He thought Owen's services were invaluable, and he figured he would have other opportunities to obtain immortality. He's practical that way."

I read that last night, and rattled around in my head for a while, and, well, this popped out:

Anthony Tini>
Cartoon Network (and other networks) have in the past released partial season sets (to generate mid-season revenue from merchandise as well as to gauge interest). If the partial season releases do well (i.e. making it worth the effort and expense) they usually have released full season sets. Of course, that's historically speaking and there is no guarantee that such a pattern would continue/be used in this particular instance.

But it ends up being a little bit of a catch-22. If consumers wait for the full season release and not get the partial season volumes, then they don't do the full season release thinking it isn't worth the effort. But if everyone buys it as volumes then fewer people would buy the full season sets...

As for whether or not buying the dvds helps convince CN about a 3rd season, I would say yes. It's revenue generated by the property. That is exactly what it is that gets noticed. Some shows have gotten cancelled when their merchandise wasn't getting the types of sales figures that the network was looking for.

Of course, I say all this with ZERO inside knowledge, just making statements based on previous similar situations that I've observed

Anyone have any idea who I should e-mail if I want to let them know that I would gladly purchase a box-set that collects the entire first season of Young Justice? I might buy the individual sets anyway but I just want to contact someone first because they might hint at whether there are any plans to do a box set of the whole first season.

(I'm not too lazy to search out a contact person on my own but it seemed feasible that at least one person here might already know who to e-mail).

I wonder though, Puck wasn't being coerced with Xanatos as he was with Demona. Puck OFFERED this wish to Xanatos. Would Puck really have tricked Xanatos in his wish? I don't know. We probably never will know.

So I was searching on Amazon.com and it appears that if a person would like to own Young Justice Season 1 in it's entirety on DVD, that person would need to buy "Young Justice: Season One - Volumes 1, 2 & 3" to see the first 12 episodes and then "Young Justice: Dangerous Secrets" to see the remaining 14.

1) Has anyone purchased "Young Justice: Season One - Volumes 1, 2 & 3" or plan on purchasing them soon?
2) Does anyone plan on buying "Young Justice: Dangerous Secrets" when it comes out on July 24, 2012?
3) a) Does anyone think there will be a complete Season 1 DVD box set release and/or b) a possibly a blu-ray release?
4) This may be a dumb question, but will buying these help convince Cartoon Network to renew Young Justice for a 3rd season?

You know, I always thought Xanatos made the right choice, but I always wondered why he did it considering his desire for immortality. It really does make so much more sense now realizing Puck would grant him immortality probably in a way similar to what the Cauldron woulda done.

BISHANSKY - Yes, seeing the way Puck grants people's wishes makes me think all the more that Xanatos showed excellent judgment in choosing the lifetime of service from Owen.

Brainiac> Heh, awesome. I noticed when Greg posted the "Happy New Year" credits that in season 2 all of the actors are now listed alphabetically, instead of putting the Team first and then everyone else. I wonder what led to that decision?

Oh gods. That was exactly what I was thinking when Demona started clawing up Cleopatra's needle. Found myself thinking something along "Way to ruin one of the world's ancient treasures needlessly" or something like that.

It just makes me happy to see somebody else besides me notice that. Then again I don't talk about Gargoyles with friends to often, nobody I know is really as into it as me, so it's never really come up either.

On a separate yet somewhat related note:

Has anyone near New York been able to see Sleep No More?

It is a noir version of Macbeth where the audience can explore 4 stories of a hotel and follow various cast members as they silently bring this story to life.

I know this sounds like im advertising but Im not. I saw it a few weeks ago and am going back to see it. Was just wondering if anyone in the fandom has seen it as well, since many in the fandom are Shakespeare fans.

One of my favorite aspects of that review was when he talked about how Puck is a trickster, not a genie... and why they can't just ask him to "fix" things for them. It's something a lot of people in the fandom, even this CR, need to keep in mind.

Thanks for posting another great review.

This one was truly hilarious. His commentary on Demona's mercenaries succeeding where eveything else has failed was great. I especially loved his "three guys with a lead pipe" joke.

However, nothing had me laughing so hard as his statement from Goliath to Elisa: "I have come to see how beautiful you truly are and wanted you to know that when the time comes for you to lay your clutch of eggs, I would be honored to be one of the males to ejaculate on them."

That is freakin' hilarious. I laughed at that. Hard.

Looking forward to this guy's "Enter Macbeth" review. He continues to do fantastic reviews of the show with much humor, but also some great insights that even the denizens of this Comment Room have failed to discuss over the years. Kudos.
