The Left Leg
Air date: September 25th, 2013
Cyborg creates a huge Titan robot powered by all five Titans, each of whom controls a different body part. Even though Cyborg tells Robin that everybody’s part is as good as the others, Robin gripes about his role as the left leg and makes some improvements to his section of the robot to make sure that the left leg is the strongest and most powerful part of all.

I have nothing clever to say today. So ta-da! A post! Let's talk about how off balance Robin's ego will make this poor defenseless mech.

Hey, Kitten tried to destroy the city with her daddy's moths in her first 2003 series appearance, so I'd say she could be a kinda sorta potential threat to unleash a big mecha....

And this is the first time in a while, I'm actually on and can watch in real-time. Huh. That's weird. :P

Edit: The episode is worth it, if only to see Kitten in something other than her prom dress. XD

Oh, nice boots.

Why is Robin doing a Senor Wences impression?



Okay, then, writers. Still amused, though.

And finally, Gizmo has an actual role beyond superficial cameos! Huzzah!

Boring, not many actual jokes beyond characters yelling, Robin is the worst person ever, the writers are unbelievably bad at writing endings, etc.


It was nice to see Kitten, though. I always kind of underrated Date with Destiny when the original show was running.

Robin needs mental help... now that fanfic I read last about the same idea doesn't seem so farfetched.

I liked it only for Kitten and Gizmo. So sick of Robin right now.

I missed the ending, as I had to do an unforeseen chore. What happened?

And, yeah, annoying Robin is annoying. I'll pretend the episode was re-written with Robin not being an asshat. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I actually thought the ending was rather abrupt. He breaks free of the mech, defeats Gizmo, and doesn't learn a thing. As usual. But he does a victory pose and then it jumped to commercial. It just felt abrupt to me.

Ah, figures. Learn to pace things better, writers. -_-

Just because it's comedy, doesn't mean you toss out plot structure. Random ness only goes so far. Or by Robin learning nothing, I guess the writers went with "Don't Touch That Dial" and "it was all meaningless!" Except that example was more satire.

Sorry, as I know, "GO is what it is."

Ugh, I wish it had a non-moral like that. It would be better. But nope, he starts acting all repentant and then is like "Oh, I'm sorry... I learned the truth. Me!" and boom. No moral. Just jackassery. That needs to be an official descriptive word for this series.

That or superdickery, but it's all good, er, bad. Heh.

Oh, I want to issue a correction with my Transformers reference, as I mistook Scrapper as the left leg, when he's really the right leg of Devastator. My mistake.

I am just happy they made the robot dance. I would've been sad if they hadn't. I wanted them to.

Hehe.

It reminded me of that one episode of Dexter's Laboratory. So I loved it. I need Dexter's Lab... was that ever put on DVD. I must investigate.
