 It has jumped the shark, but is still worth it for fans June 3, 2008

After being dominated by awesome villians like Slade, Brother Blood, and Trigon in the previous seasons, the final season of Teen Titans is finally showing its age and looking a bit weary. The recurring villians here are a passionless robotic skull called The Brain (not to be confused with the much more entertaining megalomaniac lab mouse featured on Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain) and a talking gorilla named Monsieur Mallah (not to be confused with the much more entertaining Grodd on Justice League). One of the plusses of Season 5 is that we finally get to see a lot of the lesser known Teen Titans that were featured in the original comics, including Jericho, Argent, and Kole. We also get treated to the episode "Go!" which depicts how the original five Titans came together as a team (Starfire in particular is quite different in the beginning; very aggressive and antisocial which is definitely not how she is later). However, the influx of hordes of new characters make things rather chaotic, especially in the two part climax where The Brain and Monsieur Mallah meet their end. Also beware of the very last and downbeat episode "Things Change," which brings back a long lost character who has amnesia and never quite recovers from it.
 A Great Finale For An Excellent Show July 9, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the final season of the hit "Teen Titans" show and it certainly doesn't downgrade in quality, despite what some say. On the contrary, it's one of the best seasons in my opinion. The final season's episodes mostly focus on a single threat, the Brotherhood of Evil and their aim to eliminate all Titans globally. For once episodes not only follow the main Titans but also feature other Titans as well. It's a nice change once in awhile to follow other Titan's adventures besides the main group just for new perspectives offered by other heroes.
If you liked the previous seasons of Teen Titans, then definitely pick this up. You won't be disappointed, as it's on par with the other seasons.
 Strong Finish to a Great Series July 30, 2008
Teen Titans has always been a strong series. This fifth and final season is a particular favorite of mine in that it features the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood of Evil (BoE is in a number of episodes throughout the season). Now, I was not a Doom Patrol fan prior. In fact, I've never even read a Doom Patrol comic. Regardless, I simply love the characterizations of the team in the show, especially Negative Man's deadpan delivery of his lines, as is so befitting his name.
Likewise, Brain having the Hawking'esque voice is beyond perfect. Here we have a brilliant and evil mind with no body to speak of that commands immeasurable power. I love the taunting coming from Brain sounding like a late 80's computer attempting to create speech. It has a menace to it that one wouldn't expect.
With the Brotherhood of Evil, and the Doom Patrol playing such a large roll in this season, the feel of the overall story arc feels a lot more Silver Age, DC Comics than the previous seasons, which for me is a good thing. While the Slade arcs are excellent, there is something I like about two super teams duking it out, 60's style. There's a grandness to that just feels, I don't know . . . heroic in that romantic, adventure movie kind of way.
There are some other really great episodes as well. In particular, I enjoyed "Go!," a prequel episode that details not only how Starfire came to Earth, but also how the Titans originally formed their team. It's great.
DC/Marvel has had an incredible run of quality animated hero shows, going all the way back to "Batman: the Animated Series" and this season of Teen Titans delivers as well. If your looking at a review for season five, I'm going to presume you've seen the show and like it, so I am probably preaching to the choir. It's great. You know it. What else is there to know?
BTW, why in the world doesn't every DVD box set/series in universe simply list the frickin' episodes in the description? It always falls to a reviewer to actually tell prospective buyers what the heck they are considering buying. Does this strike anyone else as a bit stupid?
To that end, here's a list of episodes contained within the series:
1. Homecoming Pt 1 (Intro the Doom Patrol and the Brotherhood of Evil)
2. Homecoming Pt 2
3. Trust
4. For Real
5. Snowblind
6. Kole
7. Hide and Seek
8. Lightspeed
9. Revved Up (This one seemed REALLY odd and jarringly outside the Titans Universe, but whatever)
10. Go!
11. Calling All Titans
12. Titans Together
13. Things Change
The best and the last August 2, 2008
This video was amazing! A perfect way to end a wonderful and beautiful show. You need to buy it....right now. All of the episodes were very cool, and they had several episodes with new titans, like Jinx, jericho, and Killowatt. They also have old favorites liek Speedy, Wildebeast, and Hot Spot.
Plus, this DVD has classics, like Lightspeed and the heartbreaking ending to the series, Things Change.
Teen Titans - Season 5 August 4, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
My daughter and I both love to watch cartoons and do so whenever we have an opportunity when I visit her at the University. Neither of us had any idea that the Teen Titans program had gone into a 5th season, but when I saw that a DVD was available for that season, I e-mailed her to tell her that I was sending out for it. Well, after we received the DVD, my daughter and I both thoroughly enjoyed all the episodes on the DVD. But we both were very disappointed with the ending of the last episode, it was so abrupt. Beast boy just walked into a blinding light to follow a course of action, and that was it!!! The episode left us hanging and we both asked the question "What happened?" This can't be the end of the DVD, but it was. So-o-o-o, when is season 6 coming out, or is it? We hope it won't be like Code Lyoko which left everyone hanging wondering if they were going to find Aelita's father and materialise him again. We understand that there won't be any more new Code Lyoko episodes made because its claimed that there is not enough interest shown by the viewing public. And that's a real bummer, especially if you've been watching the program each year and it was getting really interesting the last year it was presented.
