I was under the impression that she called him. I guess that wasn't stated though.

Just watched the most recent episode.
Apparently, Metron 16 stole credit for inventing Mother Boxes.
From what immediately follows - he wasn't, and he deliberately continued not jamming, because everything he says after that is pretty well intended as a 'hey, you, listening, I know you're listening, I'm letting you know I know, and you should probably consider the fact that since these guys so epically failed your prospects just had '9mm hemorrhage' rocket up the list, just a thought...' speech.
Indeed, on re-reading, it does look that way. The question is, what response will those listening have? Panic, or anger...From what immediately follows - he wasn't, and he deliberately continued not jamming, because everything he says after that is pretty well intended as a 'hey, you, listening, I know you're listening, I'm letting you know I know, and you should probably consider the fact that since these guys so epically failed your prospects just had '9mm hemorrhage' rocket up the list, just a thought...' speech.
Canis isn't really looking for a long term relationship. Possibly ever. His artistic passions are his life.Does this episode also possibly influence possible romantic storylines with Kaldur? Because I actually do like the idea of him and Canis together once the latter learns to be a bit less Apokaliptish.
That kind of makes me wonder if he'd be up for a relationship with one or more of the Muses... and whether any of the Muses would go for that.Canis isn't really looking for a long term relationship. Possibly ever. His artistic passions are his life.
Given that there's one Lantern for an entire Sector of space? Probably somewhere on the order of never.Since exactly what the War Hounds are and how they were created has shifted over time, when exactly on that slippery slope did the Lanterns evaluate and judge the practice?

Well, normally you would have to have long internal moral debates about reordering someone's core values before you do it. But sometimes I think just being fair is sufficient. If they are value hacking the War Dogs children, accept that as a tacit admission if their acceptance of value hacking as legitimate. This sounds like a problem that could be solved by branding everyone tangentially related to the affair, and their bosses and bosses until you reach the top. Give everyone branded the War Dog Honor Programming (minus the blind spot about someone giving you orders possibly being dishonorable) the orphans got.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander. And hopefully, just maybe stamp out some of the pervasive corruption. Seems like it would have some high potential payoff for a low implementation cost.
Two per Sector in this story.Given that there's one Lantern for an entire Sector of space? Probably somewhere on the order of never.
Well, in the New Earth Mythos, Darkseid tempted Metron with the "Element X" discovered by Himon to create devices with which the Tyrant-god could invade New Genesis.It could be he actually did do it in this setting, with the normal inventor being cut out due to being too obscure of a character to be included in Young Justice.
No, in 1984 they'd torture them first.Well, they are lucky Oh El is more inhuman nowadays, or he would have made a revolution already.
Not only brainwashed child soldiers, but lambs to the slaughter. Want to retire? Die Got crippled? Die. Want to form a family? Die.
This makes 1984 (the book) look like a paradise in comparison.
Honestly, that just seems wasteful at least the tau turn you into medical experiments when you stop being usefulIn 1984 they only torture you if you stop following the rules.
Here they kill you once you stop being useful even if you broke no rules.
I was taking the piss; nobody's too obscure for Young Justice.Well, in the New Earth Mythos, Darkseid tempted Metron with the "Element X" discovered by Himon to create devices with which the Tyrant-god could invade New Genesis.
Metron's curiosity superseded any moral considerations, and as a result he was partially responsible for the ensuing war between New Genesis and Apokolips, (which apart from his attitude is probably a MAJOR factor as to why Bear would punch him).
In this case, it could be that Metron simply improved upon Himon's tech and was the sole creator of Fatherbox, while Motherbox was entirely Himon's brainchild.
Not that we can believe any official record at this point..."She worked on the neural programming system. She… Wanted to develop something that could be used in schools, but… That wasn't what the government was funding her for. The data implanting system they… Well, so far as I know that they still use, that was largely her work. I think that the official record of her trial lists that as the reason why she was murdered."
Yes, he needs to hear this.
Should this be out loud?
More signs of a frame-up."Of course he was innocent." She frowns slightly. "I don't know why they bothered with the show trial. Father had to disavow him of course. He wouldn't let me go anywhere near the trial in case I tried to argue in Xalitan's favour."
All Jaggar Ton could have done is cut his own throat shaving."All Jaggar Ton could have done is cut this own throat shaving."
I bet even Xor could pick up on that Violet."I don't know. I imagine that was convenient. By definition, War Hounds don't have family to cause a fuss when they 'disappear'." She shakes her head. "Perhaps he would have been disappeared in a few years anyway, but… I would have liked to have been able to spend more time with him."
And isn't that a concerning fact. I bet there're lots of Klingon Promotions via proxy.Onigar shakes her head. "I don't know. I don't even know for certain that they had her killed. There are a great many parts of our government that can order someone killed."
Oh, boy... Here we go.Xalitan Xor is standing on the balcony, and hesitantly brings his fists together at his chest.
OL, they ain't listening right now...
Boy, doesn't it just stick in his craw that he had to admit that first part..."He was… Right. If he had hold me you were in danger, I would have confessed. I have raged at him, cursed him, when… He wanted to exchange my safety for yours."
oh, this gonna be good..."I came here for revenge. On my judges. On Jaggar Ton. I thought this was personal. One man's pride against another's. But it isn't. The mechanisms of the society which surround us are… Vast. The dishonourable behaviour I hate… It is not from any one person but from every person. And it is so everywhere that no one even notices!"
He's rejoicing that he's found evil now..."Illustres." He looks at me. "When you first told me why you were an Orange Lantern, I did not understand what you were trying to tell me. I did not know what the universe being.. wrong could mean. Now, I think that I am beginning to understand. And I do not like it."
Such a simple life..."This life makes sense. I serve. I fight. It's what I'm for. Isn't it? You are as we are. Why do you feel differently? Did you not fight who you were told to fight?"
Oh, my! New technique unlocked!
Like an island in a sea of shit."Serving the dishonourable with honour undermines that honour. You cannot mark out some small part of the universe and say, 'here is honour' when all the rest is consumed with vice."
He is rejoicing, because when he is done, there will be one less evil..."You cling to what little you can hold so that you don't see your life running through your fingers. No more. We will not tolerate being treated like this. We will teach the Alignment honour once more or die trying."
So to be clear, all he did was remove OL's brand and now he's using honor-flavored social fu to try to get them on his side?
I was taking the piss; nobody's too obscure for Young Justice.
Well... I guess if OL merged with the Ophidian he could probably manage to brand 327 million people at the same time. But I doubt he could do it without the Snek, and the occasional bit of schizotech or the odd metahuman with brand-resistance might give him trouble.This would probably be overly disruptive to the setting to be practical, but I would be very interested in seeing what happens if Guy and OL are inspired by what Xor is doing and try to similarly devote themselves to forcibly improving the American Legal System.
Should this be "told"?"He was… Right. If he had hold me you were in danger, I would have confessed. I have raged at him, cursed him, when… He wanted to exchange my safety for yours."
The legal system is fine the way it is. All that really needs to change at most is the type of people who get elected.for the legislature. At the very least they should be people who aren't all about party politics and don't try to game the system in ridiculously obvious ways. And the other main problem is how unsupervised state legislatures are. Very few people know who they voted for for state legislature, and that's where most laws are made.This would probably be overly disruptive to the setting to be practical, but I would be very interested in seeing what happens if Guy and OL are inspired by what Xor is doing and try to similarly devote themselves to forcibly improving the American Legal System.
