DCE-Hulu: Titans- 'Ghosts'

To make sure that I don't break my Schedule too much, I might as well cover the next Episode *around* the right time.

This one promises me sexy pottery, so let's see if it delivers...
A series of attacks from Dr. Light have drawn the original Titans together.

It doesn't make them wear their uniforms, because we have to wait weeks for that.  We know what we did.
Starfire is pulled aside for her own Sub-Plot involving a guy who looks alot like 'James Olsen' from Supergirl.  Someone in DC Casting has a type.

This does raise another question- does everyone on Tamaran look like them?  This kind of takes away from Tyroc's origin and planet, no?
Shock of non-shocks, Dr. Light is working with Slade as part of his revenge plan.  

We won't know what caused his need for revenge yet, because, again, we did something wrong and the Show deserves to punish us.
With an actual Super-Villain to fight, will the old Titans come together?  Will the Sub-Plots continue to pile up?
It keeps getting closer to a good Show.  That has to count for something, right?  Right now, all of the Characters are *almost* reuniting.  It sure would be a shame if they got along for more than 10 seconds, wouldn't it?  They make it hard to be invested in the Show when the Characters don't even want to be together.  There is a fine line between Drama and just plain bickering.  The Acting is good here and everyone mostly feel natural.  They mostly have their one notes to work off of, so I give them a bit of a break.  I won't give a break to some other parts, like the half-assed Dr. Light outfit.  I mean, he's wearing black pants and a t-shirt under a bulky chest plate and roman helmet.  He looks more like Demonicus than he should!  Yeah, it's bad when THAT is my first thought when I see this outfit.  On the plus side, Deathstroke looks bad-ass in silhouette so far.  This one has lots of issues- juggling Sub Plots like mad!- and lots of good points.  One day, the latter will outweigh the former.  One good point- they deftly dodge the BS explanation of Slade using 'more than 10% of his brain' that was being used even into the 2000s (in Identity Crisis)...
Next time, more mysteries will be revealed?  If they can actually pay them off, I can probably ignore all of the BS for a while.  See you then..
