"Kole" Discussion

[Sage]

Thank the might for torrents lol, so yes I've just finished watching this episode, and it has actually once again shined a light on the season five.

So that's two episodes... For Real and Kole for season 5 ... bleh... "Go" better be a good episode.

Anyway back to the topic:

So we meet Kole a young girl who apparently can harden her skin or rather transform into an indestructible crystal/diamond

And Gnarrk, a cavement apparently sent to this time and living in the underworld beneath the artic circle.

Dr. Light shines once again, for 4 seasons now, despite his poor attempts he's a favorite of mine.

The initial fight scene was beautiful, not as great as the fight scenes in "Trust" but it was good, what with Robin saving Starfire... and that's the only think I really noticed lol, aside from the fact that Raven seemed to be down for too long.. maybe too much light... bleh

Anyway so they're sent to the prehistoric underworld, meet Kole and Gnarrk in a fight scene against dinosaurs... by the way I didn't know that Beastboy could speak dino... and Raven was awfully sarcastic towards him as well... probably making up for lost time ha ha.

Competition seems to spark between Gnarrk and Cyborg when Gnarrk begins to feel that by meeting the Teen Titans, Kole will decide to leave him and return to the world up there. And thus this leads to the kidnapping of Kole by Dr. Light... smart Dr... smart lol

Something about his light abilities seems so cool, he'd be a really awesome villian if they allowed him the potential... but we'll leave that to the stretchy girl, the brain, the monkey, the old dude, and finally a 40 year old man who likes to abuse teenagers lol

The ending scene was awesome as well, we see Raven using her transporting abilities on someone other than Cyborg, and it was just beautifully done... the cape just makes it so much more cooler.

And so they defeat Dr. Light and everyone returns happy. I actually liked the ending image, with the Brotherhood of Evil around that communicator.. ha ha... stupid Robin xD

So Kole was an acceptable episode... I just hate how season 5 seems to be rolling along fast with very bad timing... it annoys me >.< aside from that I really have no complaints. I can wait for the next one... Teen Titans has lowered on my list anyway... they won't give Justice League anymore... *sob*

So yeah I give this Episode a

8/10

Simply because the fight scenes were nice and the story went along well. It was funny when Cyborg grabbed Raven's cape when they were in the tar ha ha... poor Raven xD

you took the words/comments right out of my mouth..lol

I loved this episode, although I was a little dissapointed that all Kole could do was turn herself into a crystal... and she had to have that G'nark guy carry her when she did that.. not really a good power if you are alone... She couldnt even fight off Doctor light when he grabbed her..

Anyway, despite that, I still like Kole. In fact, she reminded me of a cross between Terra and Starfire...

8/10 for me as well.

whee..now for my own little review

Interesting. Dr. Light was actually an episode-long threat. We're getting some villain development here. He's gone from mentally scarred after fighting Raven to scared stiff after facing her, and now he's just become disgruntled and upset. Looks like they're toughening him up from being "Raven-Fodder". Thankfully he still has the puns so its not like they totally changed the character.

Now for some fun with the arrival. The following dinos were seen:

Parasaurolaphus
Pteranodon
Deinonychus (too big for a velociraptor ...thank you Steven Spielberg for sticking us with that ...goofup, but they were still)

Now I do have one issue with the dinos. The spitting...wtf was that about? Don't say "those frilly things in Jurassic Park did it" NO. Dilophosaurus was not an acid-spitter..heck..I don't think ANY dinosaur had projectile spitting like that.

Kole herself: FINALLY...a guest character that wasn't left missing by the end of the episode....and she's probably ranking ups most adorable with li'l Rae. Her constant bickering with Dr. Light was good too.

Gnaark reminded me of a Pokemon. 'nuff said.

Plus...we got a Cyborg eppie that was a fun/interesting one; something beyond the usual "man pws machine". The more subtle humanity mixing with technology was a nice twist for once.

Oh, and the ending. They're getting better at having the Brotherhood make a show-up here. In "Trust"...having Rouge show up just killed all suspense and interest. This time however, they had them tackle one problem and overcome it...

...only to show they're not out of the danger zone yet. (seriously, that was the only time they've had a group shot of the brotherhood that actually gave me a mild case of the chills)

[Red Robin]

good episode, though Gnark bugged the crap outta me.

[ye olde anderson]

As stated; he reminded me of a pokemon

[Galfore-X]

Kole, good team episode, Kole herself was sweet and sassy but Gnaark was kind of annoying.

I don't think Kole's powers are all that useless. A crystal form could come in handy, as evidenced by the conclusion of the episode.

Also, Raven cuts down Dr. Light yet again, and that's always fun to see!

7.5/10

[Sage]

Someone said that before, that gnarrk sounded like a pokemon lol

Actually... Raven didn't like do anything to Dr. Light this episode... she proved to be pretty weak against him if he was given that much power.

As for Kole's powers... meh... they're ok... I mean I don't think it's orignal purpose was to be a machine.. but hey I don't know the full history on her.

Yup, and I liked that.

I can understand giving a character their own amusing niche, but Dr. Light's status as "Raven's Punching Bag" had just been getting annoying with people having an "OMGZORZ!! ITS TEH RAVEN!!!1!!1one" and not shutting up about it.

[Sage]

with people having an "OMGZORZ!! ITS TEH RAVEN!!!1!!1one"

LMAO!!!
Yeah it would have been OD if they made it happen all over again. Besides, Dr. Light was a pretty big villian in the comic series... I don't see why he can't be (*Grumbles* stupid producers and their attempts to make a kids show)

[stryfe]

Dr. Light was a real wuss when he first encountered Raven turning into that damn dark tentacle thingy.. >.>;
