DCE-Hulu: Titans- 'Rose'

You can see how much of a big fan I am of this Show by the fact that I straight up forgot to watch Episode 2 and Review it last week.

Oops.  Was I right to wait?  Let's see...
After the last Episode, we casually-time-jump 3 months ahead.  Why not?!?

In Chicago, Starfire and Donna are working as Detectives looking for a Meta-Criminal.  Will someone find them first?
At the Tower, Dick is training the Team.  There's some underlying friction to work through.

We also see Hawk and Dove reenacting The Last Song in Wyoming.  It does eventually lead to some Action and Story- so be patient.
In the main Plot, a woman named Rose attacks the Police and draws Dick's attention.  He takes her in...
…but she doesn't seem to want to be there.  Can a heart-to-heart with Batman help things out?

It all leads to two reveals- one super obvious and one a little bit odd.  To find out both, watch the Show.
An improvement, albeit not a huge one.  This Episode is basically a mix of Sub Plots that fight for attention.  To be fair, they do have to start setting everything in motion here.  It would be nice if it was less clunky though.  It is just a series of Scenes in different locales with very little to connect them.  All it was missing was a 'Meanwhile...' on screen every few minutes to complete it!  This Episode is alot of parts, but how is the sum of it?  Alright.  The Acting is fine for what it is.  There's a nice Action Scene or two.  The Effects are nice enough.  I just wish that it all mixed together.  On top of that, we get more bleak moments to remind us that this Show is not nice to ancillary characters.  Alas poor Hat Guy on Horse- we didn't know ye well...
Next time, the revenge plot becomes more clear.  Will the lingering Sub Plots battle for supremacy though?  See you then...
