This week’s Young Justice gave us the introduction of another classic DC Character, Doctor Fate, and his human alter ego Kent Nelson.  It also delivers some decent action over a character piece for Kid Flash. Remember in past reviews I’ve said I like the character stuff more more than just action sequences?

I take it back.

Or maybe it’s just character pieces about Kid Flash. Don’t get me wrong- I like his snark, his flirtation with anything that moves, but I really didn’t care about how he “only believes in science” and thinks there’s no such thing as magic. I just don’t care.

Also, too much of this show was about Doctor Fate. This show is supposed to be Young Justice, not “Random JSA Character Guest Star of the Week.” I love bringing in other characters from the DC Universe (and the more ridiculous and obscure the better), but this episode was almost entirely Doctor Fate and  Kid Flash. Again, don’t care.

But what was good about the episode? An emerging love (or at least flirt) triangle with Kid Flash, Artemis, and M’gann. The villains. I didn’t think I’d be taken with Abra Kadabra and Klarion the Witch Boy. But they were pretty fun. Also, something that Young Justice has done a great job with so far– little touches. Like elevator music in the Tower of Fate. It just made me giggle.

Overall, I don’t think this was their best episode, but given the overall quality of the series and their general batting average, it’s not all that bad. A mediocre episode of Young Justice is still better than 90% of everything else out there.
