    Presumably that's what the space trial will do (I hope we get to actually see the trial).

    I know it's about Young Justice but I wouldn't mind a non YJ episode that focused on the trial involving the key League members

    They'll probably at least do a sub-plot in one episode like they did with the episode where they were trying to recruit new members.

    When should we expect to see new episodes?

    wasting time coddling enemies that are trying to take over
    There is a difference between coddling an enemy and putting them in a comatose state that is possibly permanent. Psimon recovering from his trauma doesn't make it any better, it actually makes it worse. He was a decently powerful psychic and even then it took him a while to recover. The Krolotean wasn't a psychic.

    I'm all for roughing up a bad guy to get information, to an extent. Why leave the enemy a drooling mess though? Accessing it's memories alone shouldn't do that. I'm pretty sure she's done this to friends without harm. Wasn't she accessing the memory of the people on Rann in order to translate the language for everyone?

    At the end of the day though it just wasn't necessary. The enemies were defeated, if it was in the heat of battle that is one thing. Or if maybe she didn't have full control of her power, but she seemed like she knew exactly what she is doing. It's to the point where it makes me wonder if she didn't alter the minds of everyone who saw her do it, that would explain why the league doesn't know.

    Of course sense it is comic based they will make it out to be some evil thing that should never be done no matter what, even if it means the deaths of innocent people.
    In the end it is causing needless suffering, with no real point. That could be a type of evil to me. She wasn't saving the galaxy or even the planet by messing up someones mind like that.


    it is about having a time limit to protect yourself from an evading force, anyone doing that basically is taking a risk for what could happen to them.
    At least one of the times she did it she was in no danger.

    If someone breaks into someones homes they are taking a risk of what force may be used to stop them. Now I know one may bring up that this would be like having this would be thief captured, which would be fair, however it would then be something like this thief saying he placed a bomb in a public location with minutes to find it, yeah, if someone could go into their mind and grab the information it would be done regardless of what it does to them because they are endangering innocent lives, his rights would be of no concern when such actions are taken against others.
    That's the thing though, leaving an enemy a drooling mess didn't save lives. We know she can grab information from your mind without causing damage.

    Only when you're willing to give it up.

    Do we even know this for sure though? Also I would think only people with psionic resistance could actively fight her reading their thoughts. So far I don't think the Kroloteans have any such resistance.

    No, even normal people can block non-agressive psychic invasion easily, Bane was able to do so in Season 1 with M'gann. Weisman writes telepathy that is not nearly as powerful as comics' telepathy. If someone is hiding something in their mind they only way to get it is by tearing it out, which will cause damage to the victim.

    I could of sworn Bane did that by simply thinking in Spanish, so he wasn't technically blocking her. That was also at a time when she had much less experience.

    It was not because he was thinking in Spanish (M'gann can likely easily translate it) it is because he was repeating soccer/football statistics his head to create a mental block. It is an example of how relatively easy it is in Earth-16 to resist non-agressive psychic interrogation.

    Ah yes I remember, though at the same time Megan has become immensely more skilled since that time.

    Though why couldn't she just mind control a person to stop any resistance? Or maybe she hasn't shown mind control.

    It is just the way Weisman is treating telepathy in the show, in order for it to be non-damaging the receivers of the telepathy have to be willing to open their minds to it, the resistance causes damage. Weisman actually had a brief write-up on how he writes telepathy in the show in his Ask Greg that I'll try to find later.

    Speaking of that episode with Bane, what's the deal with Kobra?

    He spearheaded The Light's take over of the island for acquiring the Venom formula, and was in command of Jinx and Mammoth. But when the Light's full roster is revealed, he's nowehere to be seen. What gives?

    He wasn't part of The Light he was just their drug dealer. Inidentally he was the villain in the latest story arc from the tie-in comics.

    That's an odd roll for him, given his massive cult and resources. They went with The Brain over him?
