We occasionally see Jump City villains, and members of the team usually don't recognize them or, in the last episode I saw, actually refuse to stop them. I haven't seen the team benefit Jump City in any way, and if I have to go back to the first series to do so, I might as well just stick with those shows.<br /><br />Another problem is that in their off-hours all the boys turn out to be selfish and lazy. Well, Robin has the hardest time being lazy since he's so hyped up about being team leader, but he tries to sneak out of the chores he doesn't like. <br /><br />A third problem, for some types of viewers, is that none of this matters. One episode ends with the whole team dead. In the next episode they're back where they began, being selfish and lazy. Kind of hard to build up life-and-death stakes after that. J. L.
