I am a Titans fan, and watching them go from '99 Superbowl contenders to "comedy knockoff of the Jets" is kinda like watching a puppy sloooooooowly being neutered.

Thanks! Fixing that right now.

It's so strange, because in the pilot, it kinda seemed like the slingshot was somewhat effective. Ezra seemed to know the smart n' proper time to use it, for great effect. Afterwards, he's just flinging it willy-nilly, and it's completely useless every time.

Yeah, I figured it was a species trait, but it's definitely still a visual signifier of evil (if we're getting into crazy stuff like semiotics). But I was just kinda having a little fun there. He is indeed potentially great villain.

I'm of the belief that Disney has learned ALOT from their overall treatment of their attempt to build "Tron" into a massive thing. Which is why they seem to be doubling down on pushing Star Wars Rebels so hard.

I was a bit reluctant on grading this so low, because I knew that the show was trying to present a more goofier, lighter episode - a breather. I'm okay with a kids show present a "kiddie" episode, for sure (I certainly don't think a show needs to get GRIMDARK to be good).

I would argue that the 2003 version of TMNT is better. The first season of the 2012 TMNT could probably match the first season of the 2003 version, but in subsequent seasons, the 2003 version WAY surpassed the current one.

While watching this episode I indeed thought that this couldn't have been the second produced episode, but I didn't want to get too speculative in the review. Wikipedia mentioned the production code as being 102 but now I know that's wrong. I mean, I know not to trust Wikipedia, but… you know.

Hmm. I love Gravity Falls but I can only think of two non-white characters. I mean, they're great, but I wouldn't really call them well-developed.

Different objectives, sure, but -fundamentally- different stories I would disagree with. Both episodes have pretty powerful themes, but different approaches to them. (I think there's a hell of a lot more going on in Midnight than a Who version of The Twilight Zone though.)

Well, I was referring to the immediate fallout of Kill the Moon. It would've been nice to see the "weeks" of anger Clara had at the Doctor than to get that throw-away line. What, exactly, compelled Clara to comeback for one last hurrah? The episode says it was due to an addiction, which I don't really buy until I see…

I'm kinda shocked no one noted the connection to "Midnight." The Doctor trapped in an enclosed space with people and attempting to suss out the "monster" (or, more thematically speaking, who the real monster is).

I think what hurt this episode was Clara's return. I like Clara, but the episode kind of tossed aside the fallout of "Kill The Moon." If any other show did that, we'd call them out on it. (In the Walking Dead (SPOILERS FOR EARLIER SEASONS), T-Dog was given character development AFTER he died, which everyone rightly…

Whether TTA holds up depends on which studio did the animation, I think. A TMS or AKOM was fine, but anything else was mediocre to eye-shredding: http://totalmediabridge.tum…

I think this was a response to last week's, when Greg was totally irresponsible and destroyed Steven's self-esteem for selfish reasons. I think the show is slowly redeeming Greg, working his way back into Steven's life while also working to improve himself as a person and a parent.

Ugh, dropped the ball on that mistake. I actually feel really bad that one slipped through.

I had wrote a part that was (rightfully) cut about Ezra being called "Space Aladdin" by most of the internet.

You have NO idea how much I want to do this. In my opinion it's the best animated show on TV right now, just in how well they incorporate their animation styles with their narratives and character development moments. I think the last few episodes since The Void have been kinda weak, as if they knew the 3rd season was…

I maaaay have over played it, but it seemed that the character models were stronger and the locations had a bit more vibrancy to it than Clone Wars, but I stopped watching that show a while ago. I do want to give it another chance, particularly if Rebels does get more coverage.

The show came a screeching halt in the episode after Q&A, when they chose Brody to remove the bomb-maker from the store, instead of, you know, hiring one of their many other hundreds of connections. That episode was like some dark version of Boat Trip.
