This took me way too long to watch. Like, I tried four times and couldn't get through it in one sitting. The Hive is way cooler, obviously, but overall, the story and episode was lame. Nicely animated, but maybe that's because it was just nice to have a new setting. Poor Mammoth.

It's really sad when it feels like the Titans are the bigger villains than the Hive.

While I did enjoy it a lot, I concede that it does drag on, especially once Cyborg and the others catch on to what Robin is up to.

Most of the time, I can live with the 11 minute format, but this really should have been stretched out into 2. Guys, if you're going to have Robin pose as Red X and have X deal with the HIVE, flesh out the idea. Give Robin a better incentive to stay other than the HIVE doesn't let their headquarters rot like the Titans ultimately did. Lazy bums.

Kind of hard for me to fully appreciate the HIVE when three of them don't even speak.

Yes! This is driving me nuts! Can they seriously not get the actors, or would that make the episodes too expensive?

Technically, it's both. As Kevin Richardson and Jason Marsden are apparently really busy, these days, and, yes, cost does indeed play into it. Especially as per union rules, each voice actor is paid per character, or at least listed separate character. Meaning guys like Richardson, Cipes, Strong, they can pull double duty and avoid another outsider voice actor, but then, they get paid double, instead. (And why some of their characters aren't always listed, like Cipes voicing Private HIVE in the 2003 series.) And sometimes, it balances out.

And what is GO's budget, anyway? While the 2003 series wasn't low-budget by any means, it had to consider costs, too -- Season 5 with all the character callbacks kinda paid that price. Hopefully, with the popularity, CN can up the budget and we might get more voice actors for Season 2, as we usually get one outside voice actor, every now and then (Lauren Tom showing up most) anymore. I'm not surprised with all the focus on the GO Titans, because their jerkass ness writes itself, and because it's cheaper to only focus on them.
