    This last episode was great. Easily the best of the season.
    I was hoping that the villains would just turn out to be in Peter's head, perhaps as a result of all the superheroing taking its toll on him, but this is interesting too.

    I thought it was a very clever way of first playing with the viewer and also playing with Peter and is a great and actually believable way to explain how
    Eddie finds the symbiote again

    AlsoI am kinda sad no one really talks about this show, because it is easily the best Spider-Man show ever.

    Hah! Please, like internet nerds would ever accept a cartoon not made during their childhood is any good.

    I really liked seeing Sandman discover new ways of using his abilities and becoming a formidable threat on his own again. Also, the gullibility line was hilarious.

    I thought that line was pure genius. And like you said, I really liked the growth of Sandman's powers. Another good scene was having him reform with a sandshovel stuck in his head.

    Colonel Jupiter was great times, though I completely missed that he threw Jupiter at Spidey.

    I'm just wondering what's going to happen with Venom outing Spidey's identity. It'd better not be "Just a dream" or some other cop out.

    Mephisto will stop by and fix everything.

    Has this started airing on Disney XD yet?

    Haven't seen any commercials for it on DXD. They have been showing the older Spider-man cartoons. The one with Ice Man and Firestar as well as the 90's(?) series.

    Mostly I've been catching episodes on you-tube. They're broken into pieces and are generally low quality but it's better then no spider-man at all.

    I don't think Mr. Stacey's the only one. Norman evidently put two-and-two together. It's even possible the Connors will figure it out, though I doubt it.

    The fight in the school was really awesome, long and well choreographed.

    I loved every second of this episode.

    Also, apparently Mary Jane Watson (who has the hottest voice ever for a what, 15 year old?) found a new guy.

    that last episode was pretty slick. I can't help feel a bit bad for eddie brock though. Can we get a bit of redemption? I was kind of hoping they might eventually play the "lethal protector" bit up, but considering how little concern brock has shown for innocents put into harms way in his quest for vengeance, doing something like that now might ring a bit hollow.

    Gang wars, hero/ villain team up and more in today's episode of Spectacular Spider-Man!
    Totally action packed this week with a no holds barred free for all to obtain or destroy specs on a new rhino armor. Favourite moment(s)? Probably all the Spidey quips during his final battle with Rhino.

    I just caught season 2 episodes 1 - 7 on Youtube. This show is really starting to get good.

    I love the cohesiveness of the story, the way events in each episode connect is very well done.

    Nailing Silver Sable with the car door was great.

    Throughout the entirety of the fight I was cringing because I knew Peter was gonna miss his date with Liz. And I don't even really like Liz.

    Would you rather Gwen or MJ exploded at him every time he missed a date. That shit drives tension initially but it gets really old, really fast.

    I'm really just hoping he tells Gwen who he really is at the end of this season. I know he won't, but it'd be nice.
    Captain Stacy obviously knows that Peter is Spider-man at this point, and appears rather insistent on making Peter aware of this. Makes me wonder if they're preparing to kill him off.

    Though this is a kids cartoon, so that's probably not possible.

    Can the writers put him in a coma like they did to Duke from GI-Joe?

    Or is that too kid-unfriendly?

    Series definitely has it's place as the best Spider-Man series.

    Youtube also has episode 9 and 10 up as well now and both episode have been awesome.
    Episode 9, moment for me Ox humming the theme song. Some great fourth wall breaking there.

    Episode 10 was great for the action. I mean, another gang war? Too good to be true. At the end though, I was expecting King Pin to swivel out of that chair but in hindsight, Green Goblin made more sense as they had that foreshadowing going on.
