We finally get the origin story of how the Teen Titans came to be!!! And what an episode it was! Starfire is taken prisoner by an alien species called the Gordanians. After she escapes, she takes refuge on the nearest planet: Earth. One by one, the Titans meet and work together to stop the Gordanians from destroying the city in search for Starfire. There are a couple of things I find weird about this episode. Like why wait until now to tell us the origin story? Most of the episodes throughout the seasons are usually their own story be there might be something minor that connects them all to the entire story of the season. If this episode was a flashback I would understand. But no, the whole episode is dedicated to the origin story. It comes out of nowhere and surprises us. Seems pretty weird after the rest of the season has been focusing on the Titan's battles with the Brotherhood of Evil. My second problem is with Starfire and Raven. Their personalities seem more different than usual. Yes, I know these are the early days when the Titans first met, but I don't feel much of a connection between them in this episode and who they are now. In this episode, Starfire is a bit more hostile and less lighthearted and innocent as she is in the rest of the show. Raven, on the other hand, is much more easy going and shy. She's not as sarcastic or reserved as we know her to be. These problems don't make the episode any less enjoyable, though. I still consider it one of the shows best!!!
