So we are in the home stretch of Teen Titans. Even after the abysmal "Revved Up" episode, I had to do my best to finish this out since I have been with the show for so long.

"Go" and "Calling All Titans" were a couple of the better episodes for the season. I find it fairly odd that they decide to do a flashback to how the Titans met this late in the game, and "Go" was set all in the past. It outlines how Starfire got to earth and how the Titans all got together. It was a bit contrived for my taste, but the action was good ... and it was fun seeing the characters in their early stages of heroism.

"Calling All Titans" shows how Robin's poorly executed plan of getting all the young heros together ends in disaster. There were two allusions I liked in this episode, and a few things I did not. Johnny Rancid's skidding stop along the highway was a direct cut from the classic Anime Akira, and a nice one at that. The Brain's line in the opening sequence "Shall we play a game?" was of course homage to the computer Joshua in the 1983 movie WarGames.

It still really bugs me how all the Titans are divided and conquered, and they should have seen this attack coming from miles away and episodes ago. Still, there was a lot of good action in this episode and it was cool to see all of the previous villains (sans Slade) come out of the woodwork to try and defeat them. It looks like Beast Boy is the only one left to save the day ... could be interesting, he is due his day.

Only two episodes left in the series. I'll probably watch them tonight.
