Did you miss it? If you did that sucks... >_> Anyway just as I thought it was sort of annoying hearing BB and Cy saying "Waffles" constantly.

This episode gets a 6/10 for me. It was funny in some parts, but cringe worthy in others.

I don't have cable at the moment so I have to wait till the day after when it pops up on my streaming site to watch it. It's not ideal, but it's not the end of the world either. It just wasn't worth paying 45$ a month for the 6 shows I watch when I can find them all on streaming sites and hulu. Haha. But I have an alarm set so that I know what time to post the discussions since I lost track of time all the time.

As I said in the Preview thread, I can't blame Robin for wanting to shoot them.

Anyway...

Still not sure about it...

Ugh... I loved the waffles jokes from the first series. They were funny. They took all the fun away. Like Cy and BB say at the end "You just ruined it" Thanks Go team! You ruined the meme.

I was never crazy about the 2003 series' waffle meme, but I certainly didn't dislike it and it was handled quite well. If they botched this, what other 2003 series meme will GO wreck next? Hmmm....

Anyone got a list, as I got nothing? I never liked memes, anyway.

Oh, if anyone wants to discuss Blood, go here:

http://s14.zetaboards.com/Forbidden_Love/topic/6737880/

Hard to believe it took 9 years to get another animated Blood appearance, but here we are. Hell, the Brain didn't even have that problem (then again, he also had Brave and the Bold to fill in the gap until the NTT shorts).

Finally saw the episode, blah, blah. And I missed the "BB "Waffle" made Raven blush" gag. Maybe it's just as well.

This may be the first GO episode I actually enjoyed of the recent batch, and I fully admit my bias that, yes, it's because of Brother Blood, full stop. 9 years for an animated appearance was long overdue and GO actually nailed the character perfectly. (And I know I'm in the minority, as 2003 Animated Blood is a very polarizing figure for the fandom, or at least, he was. While I can't get enough of him -- blame one of the FL founders, Kakyoin or whatever he's calling himself, these days, for convincing me.) Plus ignoring his cyborg look -- which I understood why the 2003 series went there, but hated from the get -- and merging his jackal head robe and his black/red fighting togs into one was brilliant. It was a long-awaited comeback, and it was glorious.

I rarely comment on any episode's dialogue, as it's usually so-so, at best. It gets the job done, yes, but good dialogue for any series, let alone GO, is a challenge to write. Not so here, as everyone's lines, save for Beast Boy and Cyborg, flowed nicely and had an organic flow to the proceedings. It also confirms how much better the series would be without our comedic duo, so just feature Starfire/Robin/Raven only, and we'll be fine.
