![]() ![]() Sometimes, the writing goes overboard in filling potential plot holes but in the process ends up digging its own grave. Dick’s booby traps laid out for Crane are equally far-fetched, as is the GCPD’s “$6 billion” budget at pioneering night-vision aimed via a helicopter. Blackfire is consequently broken out with laughable ease. Among the top is the entire explanation of the US government funding a secret program to study an alien Tamaran run by a lone scientist who is too chicken to protect the facility. Titans continues its complex rigmarole of coming up with narratives and justifications that don’t make much sense. Dick does ultimately get his shot at Red Hood but it’s ruined by the GCPD’s only timely intervention. ![]() As unnatural as it seems, it does feel refreshing to see Jonathan Crane indulge in manipulative tactics to trick Dick into thinking he’s outstaying his welcome in Gotham, only for Dick to shut him up and outsmart him every single time. In the process, she discovers her long lost sister Blackfire although that still doesn’t explain how it helps her visions, unless Blackfire was causing them, which is at odds with the secure facility she was kept in.ĭick meanwhile is the lone warrior who wears Hank’s death on his sleeve and runs an elaborate scheme of taking Scarecrow hostage to lure hte Red Hood out. Nudged by Gar, Koriand’r finally decides to do something about her visions after she accidentally hurt Gar. Not that it’s wrong, it just comes too soon. That said, it’s equally jarring to see Koriand’r and Gar quickly become distracted from the tragedy that befell them and even have a little bit of fun. It also seemingly leads to Minka Kelly’s Dawn departing the season and I’m unsure if we’ll see her back for quite a while. That brief scene between the three is powerful and a good reminder that Titans can do an equally good job if it decides to devote genuine focus towards the emotional state of these much broken characters. Even Superboy needs to be consoled by Gar and Dawn and reminded that only thing that was up to them was to try. It’s especially poignant to watch Conner Kent tear up about his inability to save Hank. Writer Stephanie Coggins and director Millicent Shelton do a commendable job of keeping the focus on just these two storylines even as the plot takes a detour from the consequences of previous week’s episode.Īfter the devastating events of last episode, the Titans are understandably left broken at the loss they bore. Meanwhile, a distraught Dick spends the hour plotting against Red Hood in the hopes of luring him into a fight to take on him singlehandedly. Titans shifts its attention by bringing Starfire’s sister into the fold as Koriand’r takes the leap to thwart her own visions. ![]()
