For reasons, I have to post this early. To be edited later when I'm not on my phone and my browser is open.

Have fun discussing Robin and his staff. Oh... That sounds dirty.... You know what I mean. Behave y'all.

Here's my review: It was trash.

Starting to run out things to say.

Here's my review: It was trash.

Starting to run out things to say.
C'mon, you can try harder than that. ;)

I didn't hear all of the episode, due to circumstances beyond my control, but I got the overall gist. It was the standard "Robin was a jerk," but it was about time his retractable bo got a spotlight. And the moral was warped, "oh, I'm moving on from my staff with a new one..., and my old staff is repaired? Screw you, new staff." Plus the whole "Robin apparently murdering the Universe Tree, so he wouldn't walk away empty-handed," which was all sorts of sociopathic. Again, nothing new.

And the Mushroom guardians makes me wonder if the writer, Michael Ryan, played some Super Mario Bros as he was writing the story. Either way, quite random, but that's not new.

And you know you have it bad when Dr. Light is laughing at you. Poor Robin, but his freak-outs were nicely animated.

Oh, and Cinderblock makes his debut, so yay for that, I suppose.

(Okay, I got nothing else.)

The first three minutes or so were practically incoherent. I'll have to watch the episode again, but what the Titans were saying and doing was so stupid and weird that all I could hear in my mind was "bbbbbzzzzzzzzzzz."

I don't even think that this episode had actual jokes. Robin crying about his staff for hours is not an actual joke. It is a thing that happened.

Robin is so unhinged. This is officially my least favorite episode ever. It was horrible. The only good in it, was the quickie Riddler cameo above BB's head.

Where was that? I guess I missed it. But I did notice the Mr. Freeze ice cream again..., as Robin handled his staff's "death" like a break-up, or something? (Still makes me sad, because of Michael Ansara's passing. Sighs.)

He should have went with the actual talking stuff, but, hey, status quo is God, and all that. ^o)

Admittedly, if I wasn't used to the GO! producers turning him into a borderline sociopath in prior episodes, I'd be annoyed. Which makes me wonder about Slade when he shows up, as I never thought I'd say this, but what if GO makes Slade actually less creepy than Robin?

When Cyborg steals the staff from him in the hall and he gets a question mark above his head, the dot is Riddler's head. :D

Dude, I have a feeling Slade is going to be totally normal at this point. They need to let him sing, it's only right.

Ah, okay. I only saw the episode but not paying super close attention. I'll keep that in mind, whenever I re-view.

It would make sense, and besides Deathstroke had his flaws, but he originally never had any of his animated counterpart's creepiness. (I say "originally," as Geoff Johns or someone in DC thought, "Hey, let's make Comic Slade a creepy mastermind like Animated Slade." Really didn't work, as any Batgirl fan would tell you.)

He must sing, and possibly be a pirate. Which actually was Slade's occupation during Flashpoint. He was a sea-faring pirate, but honorable, looking for his daughter, Rose. He gets her back, but at a price. (Spoiler alert!)

OMG!! I wish I was an artist, because I would totally make a flash animation....

(ignore the horrible music video, the song is what is important....)

A Flash of Slade singing this needs to happen... just saying. Someone call the writers.


And getting back on topic, I liked the new staff better. His old one sucked.

Since we're all just standing around the end result of this topic wondering why there's a crater...

Anyway, yeah I read that one a while back. Kind of an interesting read. Not too fond of what they did to Rose, though, considering how she was portrayed elsewhere thoughout the old DCU.

One of my friends, he's a way bigger Rose fan than I, -and not Netherphoenix- that ruined Flashpoint for him. (For what it's worth, this guy, I'll bet, knows everything there is to know about Rose, and never tires of talking about her.)

As for Rose in that Flashpoint story, I don't disagree, but at least, Slade had a happy ending in a bittersweet way. For him getting anything besides angst and misery, it's a mini-miracle onto itself.

Anyway, finally found a website that actually does track the weekly CN ratings, which I'll be using in the weeks ahead. Here's the latest, featuring the first full week of August:

Whenever this past week's ratings, featuring Staff Meeting's debut, are available, I'll post them.
