385-903
When three H.I.V.E. academy graduates, known as Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth, want to be hired by a mysterious man named Slade, he puts the three to one final test: destroy the Teen Titans. And when Robin mysteriously disappears after falling into the sewers of Jump City, the four remaining Titans lose possession of their home, Titans Tower, and get kicked out until an unseen hero comes and shows to his friends there is some hope left.

This episode is a good one, sure it doesn't have a whole lot to offer besides flashy action scenes and a few funny comedy bits, but it's a lot of fun. It also introduces Jinx, one of my favorite characters from the series, she has really cool powers. Mammoth is the standard tough guy, not very interesting, Gizmo is not as annoying here as I usually find him to be.
The action is top notch, but the story is predictable and follows the same plot used in countless The Batman episodes, hero(es) meet villain(s), loses, meets up again then wins. The part where Robin has disappeared and may be dead, was a complete waste, not dramatic in the slightest, what is the writer trying to say, that the Titans depend on Robin to defeat the enemies? This may have been the first episode to air, but "Divide and Conquer" is actually the first episode, both are pretty similar, a team member is lost from the group and the rest have to cope without him.
Final Exam is a good episode, it has some amazing action, funny stuff in it, beautiful animation and the introduction of Jinx.
A rocky start to a great series... hide show
With premire episodes, they're either spectacular but go downhill from there, or they're... not the best, but can only go up. While the first episode of Teen Titans wasn't the best, it still had more good than bad qualities: with the good qualities, it had an interesting plot, a great introduction to great characters, and, of course, it was the first episode of an awesome series. The bad qualities were voicers with unsure voices for their characters (mainly for Beast Boy and Raven), and a lot of scenes with mistakes and coloring errors. But the series could only go uphill from here... and luckily, it did!
first of . . . not really a whole lot but a few handfuls. hide show
this shows each personialty. raven-stoic cyborg-enegic Beast boy-groopy starfire-bubbly robin- always in control. i am suprized they pick the one without super powers to lead the group but he's the weakest but any count. each has there own strengths and weaknesses. raven can move things with her mind, go through soild objects, does magic spells, (gains more abilites as series goes on.) but if she shows slightest emotion, things blow up and her powers don't work correctly. cyborg is on a mega-battery, beast boy as maturly issues, starfire is wayyy tooo trusting and doesn't understand simple earth phases, and robin in a supernatural fight on his own is slight more than target partice. but together they are a force nothing can't beat down for too long.
Not bad, but nor good. Something is missing from this one. hide show
Not bad, but nor good. Something is missing from this one. And I think the missing thing is: Originality. I like TT because this is something else, not like the typical superhero-shows. But this episode is not a good example for this statement...
This is really an average one. It's story is not crap, but also not a masterpiece, the fighting scenes are all right, but nothing special. It is only Slade's appearance what saves the day here. His last dialogue with the H.I.V.E Academy Instructor is a really good way to finish this ep, but also keep the suspense alive.
The Titans get thrown out of their house by two kids and a beast. This episode is classic. hide show
Final Exam was a very exciting episode. Three students from HEIYP school were recruited by Slade to destroy the Teen Titans. Jinx, Gizmo, and Mammoth were a force to reckon with. They tricked the Titans by faking like someone was in trouble. Gizmo sent Cyborg off flying and Starfire went after him. Beast Boy, Raven and Robin tried to fend them off. Robin is missing and the Heiyp students come to Titan Tower and kicks them out. It was great though how Slade went through all of that trouble just so the Titans would question who he actually was. Just like every episode this one was action packed and it is one of my favorites from season one.
