When Robin needs an archenemy, Starfire generously offers to fill in the role and she far exceeds Robin's expectations.

I don't really know what to think of this episode. Since I am suspending reality and pretending this show is sutible, I can't say that I liked or disliked it. I just had no feelings. Morally, there was a bunch wrong, but we are used to the Titans being jerks to one another anymore, but looking past that and trying to just be entertained, I found it fell short for me. Starfire did a good job, but as usual took things way out of proportions. Certainly won't be a favorite for me.

I don't disagree with that, as half the episode is basically the Titans snarking on each other, which is beyond tiresome. But on the other hand, the other half is Starfire doing her best Professor Chaos impression. (Unlike Butters, Starfire is actually good/threatening at her attempted villainy.) And if you don't watch South Park, then ignore what I say on this.

Beyond that, I suppose I could ask, "where's Slade, since he's Robin's go-to nemesis?" Since part of the episode's theme was "if you don't have an arch-enemy, you're not a good hero in proper standing."

And the other with the ending, I'm honestly surprised they didn't bother with a potential Catwoman reference, given how Bat-overdosed this series really is. Robin having attraction towards his female opponent, just like someone else we know.... It's a freaking gimme, for God's sake. Sorry, but I hate missed opportunities.

Toss another episode into the "indifferent" pile. The premise was good, Starfire was pretty adorable, but the show is just not funny at all, the color choices in this show make my eyes bleed, and the endings are horrendously bad.

Very possibly my biggest complaint with the show. They have a few episodes that are cute, until the ending where they just suck and ruin any good it had going for it.

OMG. You would not believe all the ideas that just flew through my head incoherantly and then zoomed out my ears. I remember the blur of pictures the ideas left followed by a deep sense of amusement. I could say so many things...

But Robin isn't that cool and has yet to power up for seven episodes. However, a crossover episode would be fing amazing.

"I'm much stronger this time, Slade. And you're never.
EVER.
Getting away from me.
AGAIN."
