This episode has a reasonable amount of action, like most of the other episodes, but the focus is not as much on the action as it is on the development of a few characters by playing with their emotions. An interesting villain, Killer Moth, and his bratty daughter are used to reveal the romantic relationship between Robin and Starfire, as Robin has to take Killer Moths daughter to the prom against his will, which makes Starfire extremely jealous. There is also a dance they share at the end that hints that the feelings are mutual. The rest of the episode also has a fair deal of suspense, with the threat to destroy the city from Killer Moth at the center of the excitement.
All in all this episode pulls strings on different aspects of the show to provide an entertaining half hour for all types of Teen Titans fans.moreless

The pre-intro opening is genius. Killer Moth the dad to a bratty teenage girl? The episode is off to a great start. When it becomes apparent what it's going to be about, you know it's going to be good. Then after the intro we are introduced to the villain Fang, now, Teen Titans have it's fair share of lame villains, Fang is not one of them, the design is fantastic. But here comes my biggest quibble with the episode, the chase lasts way too long, it's superbly animated and everything, but they could've cut it down a fair bit.

Starfire steals the show as we see her in various fits of jealousy, the anime style is perfect for this and there are big laughs to be had. It could've been repetitive but the expressions are more over the top than the last and it works out great. But...when Kitten says, or rather shouts "Not at all like my worthless exboyfriend Fang!" Look out, it's got to be the ugliest use of the anime style I've seen so far on the show, but it's only for a couple of seconds, then we're back to the same high quality and great fun. This show can boast of having several fantastic guest voice actors, Thomas Haden Church is brilliant as Killer Moth. Some have complained that we didn't get to see the dance between Robin and Starfire, this didn't bother me, the episode had enough dancing already.

"Date with Destiny" is a prime example of why I watch Teen Titans, it's a lot of fun, and the action scenes are excellent.moreless

This episode involves a villain called Killer Moth who threatens to release his army of mutated moths in an attack on the city unless Robin takes his bratty daughter Kitten to her prom. Of course, this is really just her trying to get back at her original boyfriend, a guy by the name of Fang, who is a jewel thief with the head of a spider. The other Titans are sent to investigate further to find the location of the moths. However, Starfire decides to investigate Kitten throughly at the prom. She forces Robin to dance with her and Starfire predictably freaks out. And then when Kitten asks Robin to kiss her, Starfire REALLY freaks out. He tells her that he will not because the other Titans had found her father and he is being taken down as they speak. In anger, she pushes the button on the controller, which releases the moths. Luckily, the other Titans block the exits. However, then Fang shows up and gives Kitten a bunch of jewelry that he of course stole. A fight then breaks out between the boys. Then the girls get into a fight. After what seems like forever, she loses the controller and Robin crushes it, turning the moths back into larva. Then the police come and arrest them both. When they get in the police vehicle, they find that Killer Moth is in there already in a case. By now, all five of the Teen Titans are on the yacht. All of a sudden, spotlights circle around Robin and Starfire, and the announcer declares them the king and queen of the prom. (In response to some other members on this site who think that this ending is impossible, this probably happened because either the prom committee decided that they should win by default for saving the day or they had a second election on land after the ship had been evacuated) Of course, Robin and Starfire then dance together. Personally, I think that this episode had a great ending and anyone who believes that Robin and Starfire should make a great couple (and there are many fans of the show that believe this) will definently get their money's worth. Personally, I think that the network should start reairing this every Valentine's Day. I give it a perfect 10 out of 10.moreless

I love this episode because it was filled with Robin and Starfire. They were the couple every one wanted to get together and this was one of the first episodes anything happened with them. The things the other characters say (that aren't at the dance) are hilarious. My favorite part was when star and kitten were fighting and kitten dunked star's head in the punch, and then Kitten got kicked in the cake and she totally flipped out. Then what star's face looked like when she came out of the punch was priceless. Over all this is my favorite Teen Titan episode ever.moreless

"Great"

By YHuntressEarth, Nov 22, 2006 Report Abuse

I have to admit, the idea of a villian having a normal, spoiled brat daughter who he even puts his city-domination plans aside for is a very interesting and original idea. (And Kudos for the great re-design on Kill Moth's overall look.) It's this story line alone that really steals the show for this episode (though I'm not saying the other Titan's attempt stop Kill Moth wasn't entertaining). I especally enjoyed how Starfire totally misses the point of a prom (thinking it's some kind of battle) and agrees for Robin to take Kitten to one. Overall, I liked the mix of humor, goofy moments, and action and it was really nice to see Robin and Starfire to dance at the end.moreless

Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- Starfire uses the eyebeams, which she claims she gets in the next episode, "Transformation." How could she use them now? Edit
- Starfire wore a pink sleeveless dress with no shoulder pads at the dance, but at the end of the dance, she's in her original costume and her top HAS shoulder pads. Edit
- As shown earlier, the mutant moths could eat through solid steel and wire. Why couldn't they eat through or rip off the things blocking off the basement? Edit

  Starfire: But, but, but? (follows Robin)
  Robin: I have to do it, Star, no matter how much I don't want to. (closet door opens) And I really don't want to.

- Robin: (to the two frozen teenagers being wheeled away) Okay, well, sorry we pretty much ruined your prom.

  Girl: Even if I still can't move my legs!
  Robin: Yeah, that'll wear off. (he and Starfire wave to them as they are being wheeled off)

  Robin: I guess one more dance wouldn't kill me. (he then takes Starfire's hand and they go dance together)

ADD ALLUSIONS
- Killer Moth: House The interior of Killer Moth's house is identical to that of the Brady Bunch home. Edit
- Robin: (About dancing) Tried it once, didn't like it. This could be a reference to the episode "Sisters," where viewers got to see Robin bust a move on the dancefloor at the club Blackfire takes the team to. Edit
- Fang: Appearance/Movement Style
  Fang's appearance and movement style strongly resemble Eri Ninamori from FLCL when she had that FuriKuri things attached to her head. Edit
