| Review I’m going to be blunt. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of Teen Teen Titans works best as a team show. Every time they separate and act on their lonesome, it leads to a crappy episode. There are exceptions, but those are what I like to call “Robin episodes”. Cyborg as a character simply isn’t entertaining enough to hold the fort for 22 minutes on his lonesome. The Stone Age characters weren’t interesting. The villain was absolutely pathetic, quite easily The Titans worst villain. I usually enjoy this show, and find something enjoyable in it somewhere, even if I am watching mediocre episodes, but this… I simply couldn’t wait for it to end. It started off entertaining enough, with Beast Boy drooling over his new Gamestation and What’s even stranger, how did the witch manage to transport Cyborg into the past? Why him? How did Raven manage to pull him back? If there was an explanation, I’d have been happier, even if it was a damn stupid one. I’m not sure what purpose the episode served; the fight scenes weren’t up to par with previous episodes, there was little humor and it didn’t really develop |
